Uncialle's How To Haunt Page

How to Make a Very Ghostly Ghost

Materials needed: two wire coathangers, white kitchen garbage bag(s), tape, string, a flashing "bicycle strobe" light, preferably green, white, or amber.

Arrange the coathangers so that the hooked tops are together but the bottoms cross each other at right angles. Tape them together. Attach a string (fishing monofilament works best) to the strobe. Hang the strobe about six inches below the bottoms of the hangers. Tie string to the hangers' double handle, and suspend this from a branch, etc. Take a white kitchen garbage bag, poke a hole in the bottom, turn it upside down, and put in on the hangers as you would a shirt. For a longer ghost, cut the bottom out of a second bag, and tape it to the bottom of your first bag.

Coathangers taped together, with bicycle-type strobe light hanging from string Place the white garbage bag over the hangers as you would put on a shirt, with the hanger hooks coming out the hole you have made in the bottom of the bag.

Turn on the strobe to "random flash." Hang the ghost at least 20 feet from any light, where it can move freely in the wind.

These are the most ethereal ghosts Uncialle has ever made. Her Halloween visitors gasp, Is there something in those trees? IS there? I think I see something. Is anyone there?" This is most satisfying. The slightest air movement causes the strobe to turn slowly on its string, flashing randomly. The entire ghost moves as the hangers turn on THEIR string. The bag mutes the strobe, and also moves. The light and movement are so faint and random that, if properly placed in the dark, the thing really does look like a ghost. When guests arrive at Uncialle's Halloween Thing, they must leave their cars 150 yards from her cottage, and survive strange encounters before they reach her door. She waits until the guests are inside before stealthily putting out these ghosts. Guests encounter these eerie presences on the dark path back to their cars.

Suddenly seeing one of these ghosts, adults have been known to cry out in fear.
