6. Ghostly Cheesecloth Apparitions
Introduce a haunting, ethereal presence to your corners and doorways with life-sized ghostly cheesecloth apparitions. These floating spirits are surprisingly easy to construct using styrofoam heads, wire coat hangers, and liquid fabric stiffener. Shape the wire into a delicate shoulder structure, drape cheesecloth soaked in fabric stiffener over the form, and shape it into a flowing, faceless figure. Once dry, the cheesecloth hardens into a self-supporting, translucent shell that holds its ghostly shape. Suspend these figures from the ceiling in dimly lit corners of your home. When the air conditioning blows, the lightweight fabric will gently sway, creating the terrifying illusion of a silent spirit drifting through your halls.
