A new dark energy model called "ghost dark energy" was recently suggested to explain the observed accelerating expansion of the universe. This model originates from the Veneziano ghost of QCD. The dark energy density is proportional to Hubble parameter, ρD=αH, where α is a constant of order ΛQCD3 and ΛQCD ∼ 100 MeV is QCD mass scale. In this paper, we extend the ghost dark energy model to the universe with spatial curvature in the presence of interaction between dark matter and dark energy. We study cosmological implications of this model in detail. In the absence of interaction the equation of state parameter of ghost dark energy is always wD > −1 and mimics a cosmological constant in the late time, while it is possible to have wD < −1 provided the interaction is taken into account. When k = 0, all previous results of ghost dark energy in flat universe are recovered. To check the observational consistency, we use Supernova type Ia (SNIa) Gold sample, shift parameter of Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) and the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation peak from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The best fit values of free parameter at 1σ confidence interval are: Ωm0 = 0.35+0.02−0.03, ΩD0=0.75−0.04+0.01 and b2=0.08+0.03−0.03. Consequently the total energy density of universe at present time in this model at 68
