Geisting 

When someone you've been dating suddenly ceases communication, and just as you think they have ghosted you, they text you. They stay around for a while and then disappear again. This may go on for some time. They come and go, like a poltergeist.
Kate: "How is it going with Tony?"
Grace: "So weird, he just texted me last night out of the blue, after not texting me for 2 weeks."
Kate: "Oh, he's geisting you, huh?"
