I received a verbal job offer the day before Thanksgiving. They said they'd get back to me with offer details the following week, but it's been two weeks and they haven't yet because supposedly the person who approves these is "out sick" and is unreachable. They also said there was a mistake with the advertised salary range that needs to be resolved. I emailed yesterday just to check in. No reply just yet. Am I about to get ghosted?

My biggest concern would be the sudden discovery of an error in the salary range. That sounds like bait and switch to me, and that would put a really bad taste in my mouth. Not sure if you'll end up getting ghosted, but it seems you may be dodging a bullet with this one.

Red flag after red flag. It's extremely fishy to me that they only discovered the salary issue when they were ready to make an offer. They had ample time to discover that.

Nope don't even bother responding to them when they do in the new year.

Even if we were to give them the benefit of the doubt that they intentionally misled you with their advertised salary range, I wouldn’t want to deal with this level of unprofessionalism in my day to day. Says a lot about their company culture if this is the norm

Sounds too shifty to be legit. If they don't have their house in order, I'd be VERY wary of any comms/promises/excuses from them if any going forward
