The solo project was created by Thomas as a lo-fi bedroom recording experiment and has since progressed into a more developed nature.

The first EP from Spookyghostboy, "The Forest Summer EP", was released on July 21st, 2012. Critical reception was largely positive, with one such reviewer calling the newly-minted "ghost-pop" genre "really, really cool."

Following the both commercial and critical success of "Forest Summer", Thomas released a new EP in October of 2012. "XVII", a noticeably darker and more cohesive release, saw Thomas exploring the inherent melancholy of the fall and winter seasons. This, along with up-tempo single "rad cats", made "XVII" a much more successful release from Spookyghostboy.

Out Of Sight

And remembering when I made fun of him
I shouldn't have made fun of him
And I can still write on your wall
But if you'll see it I don't know
Are you an angel up above
Or something far worse down below
Do you know what it's like
To be gone, out of sight

Do you know what it's like
To be gone, out of sight

I've got a picture of you in my pocket
And deep scar tissue in my eye sockets
I play these games cause they seem fun at first
But now I'm in a closet
With some girl I hardly know
Your breath is warm, step off my toes
And now I'm scared and nervous
Anxious, freezing, i guess i'm going home
Do you know what it's like
To be gone, out of sight

Do you know what it's like
To be gone, out of sight

And remembering when I made fun of him

I shouldn't have made fun of him
I should not have ridiculed that person.
