Within the framework of Einstein gravity, we establish a correspondence between the Chaplygin scalar field model and the modified ghost dark energy model. We consider a spatially non-flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe containing modified ghost dark energy and dark matter that are in interaction with each other.Wesolve the differential equation governing the dimensionless modified ghost dark energy density parameter numerically. Then we obtain the evolutionary behaviors of both the energy density and equation of state parameters of the modified ghost dark energy. More interesting is that the equation of state parameter at the present time can cross the phantom divide line provided the interaction parameter b2 > 0.15 is compatible with the observations. Furthermore, we reconstruct both the Chaplygin gas scalar field and potential according to the evolutionary behavior of the modified ghost dark energy model.
