It’s similar to the friendzone in that you are stuck in a certain position in a relationship. However, instead of constantly being treated as a friend, you are always ghosted by that person. To be ghosted, is to be completely ignored, as if you were a ghost. Possible ways to become stuck in the ghost zone are to perform the following actions to another: triggering, abusing, cockblocking, etc.
You: I think I’m in the ghost zone with my roommate after last night.
Friend: Really? What happened?
You: I broke their favorite teddy bear on accident. So now, she won’t talk or even look at me anymore.
Friend: Yikes, I hope you aren’t in there for too long.
