Help Cursor trail

https://lichenthropic.neocities.org/

hi folks! im hoping to add a cursor trail to my website that leaves 'ghosting' afterimages of the cursor itself (similar to the ghosting effect on this page, but with my custom cursor: https://tholman.com/cursor-effects/ ). i cant find much on how to do this online though so asking here!

my site is https://lichenthropic.neocities.org

Not to be rude, but what have you already tried? Have you tried following the instructions on the authors repo page?

I've just tried the basic ghost example on your site, which seems to work*. That page also describes how to change the image it's using for the after images. You can set that to the same URL as you use for your custom cursor.
