It took me over 150 tries to run all 15 balls playing the one pocket ghost, but I finally did it! This post was made for a couple reasons as I will discuss.
First, I hate Joshua Filler. After watching him play the ghost in Roy's Basement for a couple months and him making it look so easy, I thought I would try since I too was in lockdown. Of course I really don't hate Joshi, in fact I am now a big fan of the Killer Fillers, they were a trip to watch and get to know. Thank you Roy! So I first tried the 12-ball ghost; that took me over 35 tries but I finally did it and have it on video (so I stopped). That brings me to the one pocket ghost.
The pockets on my table are very generous (like 4.75" maybe a hair more), thank god or I would still be trying. I deleted all attempts that did not reach my goal of running all 15 balls. I probably should have kept some because they were hilarious ranging from 0 balls multiple times to most being under 9 although I did get to 13 and 14 once. They would have made a great blooper reel, but I don't have enough memory on my phone.
1st reason: I found an online video compressor "Clideo" that reduces the size of the MP4 footprint for easier posting (about 90% in my case). I guess it was free since I never signed up that may be why their logo is placed in the video. So one reason I'm posting this is to test how easy it is to import to this forum and how long it takes;
2nd reason: I don't participate as much as I should (content-wise) so I though this would be a good way to give back to our community. Believe me, this is done in all humility as it took so long for me to complete running all 15 balls (damn you Joshi!!!) LOL. After viewing this I was lucky several times during the run starting with the first break out; I almost missed the 5 ball (would have on a tighter table) not to mention almost missing and scratching on the 15th ball. I really suck to be honest. But I did do some good things, too.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and please imagine all the attempts it took to get to this point. Stay healthy!

(but it did take way shorter to upload to youtube once compressed, so it worked.

. Wasn't that lucky anyway, though. I drew Matchin instead.
I'm glad most games only go to 8. I'll upload the video once I learn how.
