    Is there anything you two can't do? The chicken wire woman is just fantastic, and the ghost in the window is amazing. Hopefully you don't invoke anything by putting these up! ;)

    If she doesn't show up too well, you could use cheap spiderweb material from the dollar store to capture more of the light from the LED's. Stretch it around her thinly enough and it could look like wisps of fog or smoke. She looks really cool so far!
    The illusion ghost is a great idea! Love it.

    A fan blowing towards the mannequin would make her dress and hair move and make it even spookier. Maybe some flickering light also … 👻 …
    Good job, I especially love the wire lady! Another great ghost idea is to make it of clear tape. Basically covering a mannequin or doll with plastic wrap, then a few layers of tape. Then carefully cutting it off. Now I’m inspired to go dig out my ghosts ….

    On your chicken wire ghost lady you should try spraying the whole thing with some luminous paint, the kind that you can charge with a light so it glows in the dark and a lamp on a timer to recharge it at intervals

  • @troysierra5228
    @troysierra5228 2 года назад +3

    Some glow in the dark rubbed on that chicken wire. With a black light in the parlor. You could have an entire ghost family for some spooky celebration. Just like the movie "Home Alone". If you add those figures onto a motion coaster wheels (Toy train tracks). You could have them dancing.

    Those turned out great! I love the idea of bringing the family back in ghost form. When you mentioned using Kim as a model, I cringed, imagining lots of puncture wounds. Glad I misunderstood. Haha. I've seen someone create a chicken-wire ghost using a mannequin, but it's impressive that you did it without using any kind of form to shape it! Well done.

    I am definitely impressed with the ghost lady you were able to make out of chicken wire. I think if you could have covered it in a sheer fabric (chiffon perhaps) with a blue or green light at the base shining upwards it may have given you the effect you were looking for.

I think In high school, I wanted to be set designer. I don't currently have a lady, So maybe a dress form. Your house would be my dream preservation. I missed an opportunity, at "Franklin Castle" Cleveland Ohio's spookiest mansion. I really enjoy the content that you and your wife bring to you-tube.
