'''''Ghost EP''''' is a rare, 2008, 3 track EP by HORSE the Band that was subject to an incredibly limited release, with fewer than 250 copies ever being sold in May 2008 during the Asian leg of HORSE the Band's Earth Tour. The EP was apparently recorded in David Isen's house specifically for the Earth Tour, as it had proven too costly to sell copies of their previous albums through their distributors while on tour.

Allegedly, the band lost all unsold copies while in transit to Turkey, and their digital master copy (the only copy they had left) was lost soon after, during an accidental hard drive reformat that occurred a few months later. The EP was sold for 1 (whatever currency the country they were in used), and as this was very cheap in some countries, some people were said to have purchased 10 or more discs at a time, meaning that of the few copies that exist, it's likely that more than one person are in possession of multiple copies of the EP.
