Thread: Trying to find ghost image maker I saw

Tweet

This is my first post here. Looks like my kinda place. We love Halloween and decorating for it. Last year we saw a spooky ghost image device. I spoke to the guy who was using it but can not remember what he said it was. It showed images on a large sheet of clear plastic hung in front of a window and has a projector show different images on the sheet. It was really cool and actually quite spooky. Does anyone have any idea what this was and where to get one. Thanks. Also I am sure there is some in this forum but could not find instruction on making and operating pneumatic cylinders from pvc piping. Thanks for any help.

Welcome!

I'm of no use to you on the pneumatic cylinders

But, the projecter was simply a projector. Any one will likely do for you, or you can even use a TV in the right situation. It's utilizing a pepper's ghost style illusion to create the appearance of the 'ghostly image'.

A good introductory to the process (and some DVD's for your TV) is located over here:TV Tricks
