Easy, Do-It-Yourself Ghost

January 24, 2008 - 158,577 views

Today is a good time as any to scare your friends. And here’s a new trick on how to get a few good screams. You simply need the fence you would normally use around your house. This should be easy to shape and stand up on its own. Now simply follow the pictures, shaping is the easy part. Whenever on a picnic, fishing or hiking, you can place your ghost in the forest and wait for the effect!

    NEATO!

  2. ap on January 24th, 2008 5:31 pm

    Hook a fishing line to it, hang the line over tree limb and and two or three horizontally from other trees and you can move it around like a puppet from afar.

  3. Jessica on January 24th, 2008 9:24 pm

    Passing through and wanted to tell you I enjoyed my stay

  4. darkman on January 24th, 2008 9:27 pm

    Great Job!!!

  5. Ben Clapton on January 25th, 2008 2:10 am

    There’s a cemetery near my place that’s surrounded by bushland… I so want to make one of these and set it up in there and film the reactions…

  6. csantala on January 25th, 2008 2:55 am

    ahaha that’s pretty cool. I wonder if it would look like that in r/l?

    perhaps you could wrap the fencing around yourself for a molding and then open it up slightly, step out, and then close.

  7. nigger on January 25th, 2008 10:06 am

    i hate ******. This is cool. I hate ******.

  8. towlie on January 25th, 2008 10:46 am

    Thats so cool would love to see peoples reactions to that lol !

  9. rachel on February 3rd, 2008 4:45 pm

    That is pretty awesome. I would be pretty spooked if I saw that from afar. Great job!

  10. anna on February 3rd, 2008 5:41 pm

    i wouldnt exactly call it ‘easy’

  11. Rxl on February 5th, 2008 12:10 am

    You’re evil, Ben…do it!

  12. Erm on February 5th, 2008 1:09 am

    It’d be cool to paint them with phosphorus, and set it up nights with only a full moon.

  13. jack on February 5th, 2008 2:06 am

    That is really creative, wd

  14. Hororscupe on February 5th, 2008 4:06 am

    Thats completely fake dude

  15. Sidderlady on February 5th, 2008 7:12 am

    You just disproved the existence of ghosts;-) … cause you could have used a real one instead…..

  16. Chiisuchina on February 6th, 2008 1:34 pm

    I saw this, and thought of a silly joke to go along with it.

    “I am the fence ghost! Oooooo!”

    Haha, Danny Phantom reference.

    ….

    ….well, *I* thought it was silly.

  17. Kitty on February 6th, 2008 8:50 pm

    wooooo ooooooo oooo that look so real!

  18. Tim on February 6th, 2008 9:56 pm

    That is the neatest thing I’ve seen in a while.
    I’m a Security Guard for a local cemetery (Graveyard of course.),
    and we get all kinds of teenagers running through here causing all manner of mischief. Boy it sure would be something to see if the tables were turned around.
    If I could get my hands on one of them cameras that see in the dark, I’m gonna post some footage on youtube.com.
    Just might get me an Oscar, What you think?

  19. transpaper on February 7th, 2008 1:37 am

    I would be scared :)

  20. TheMrs on February 7th, 2008 2:37 pm

    Stumbled this and wow. :) I love it! Thumbs up!

  21. dWave on February 7th, 2008 7:53 pm

    hehe - Ben Clapton - that is Sohhh Cool - do it and send in the images if You can - Love the effect shown here as well ! Truelly Unique use of chicken wire!

  22. HHH on February 7th, 2008 8:35 pm

    why would a ghost be taking a leak

  23. chaosgone on February 8th, 2008 12:05 am

    Maybe the ghost had too much to drink?

    Nice idea!

  24. whitepower on February 8th, 2008 3:09 am

    This is cool. I hate negroes.

  25. Lars on February 8th, 2008 3:09 am

    Nice work

  26. Hassan Abbas on February 8th, 2008 5:45 am

    wow what a gr8 idea. nicely done dude.

  27. Maria on February 8th, 2008 7:33 am

    great idea!!
    i would love to see such a “ghost” :))

  28. Colin Temple on February 8th, 2008 2:01 pm

    Oh that’s just too brilliant. I’m surprised by how creepy that looks from afar.

  29. B23cml on February 8th, 2008 5:21 pm

    wow i want to do that

  30. Ted on February 8th, 2008 11:32 pm

    Love this, it’ll work awesome on my ex girlfriend. thanks!

  31. ken on February 9th, 2008 1:14 am

    great effect i wish i could sculpt

  32. Toon @ Design Forum on February 9th, 2008 10:25 am

    It’s the simple ideas that inspire! Quality

  33. Free Television on February 9th, 2008 6:19 pm

    wow now that’s quite amazing, the amount of time it would take to mold it .. really nice low-tech effect.

  34. KrazyKorean on February 11th, 2008 4:01 pm

    Lol this would freak me out

  35. Craven Morehead on February 12th, 2008 10:59 am

    I’d like to butt f**k that thing!!

  36. John on February 13th, 2008 3:25 pm

    Great idea, looks really effective.

  37. BigHenry on February 15th, 2008 11:04 am

    It is things like this that make my line of work harder

  40. dot tilde dot on February 22nd, 2008 5:43 pm

    how remarkingly beautiful.

    .~.

  41. Unundabodo on February 24th, 2008 7:53 am

    I did so. I devastated a flexible spiralling from the uncorrupted angle behind me. She booked with embedding streetlights and grabbed up the photos.

  42. mark on February 26th, 2008 6:54 pm

    I could get my hands on one of them cameras that see in the dark, I’m gonna post some footage on youtube.com.i want to tell your my first-hand experience.I have found my best friend and my true Love. I have found my match on this site, Sugarmommymatch.com. It was an instant connection for rich women seeking handsome and charming men. Good luck to all who are looking for true and real love, I am blessed.

  43. Aaron on February 26th, 2008 7:05 pm

    This only works from certain angles. If the light isn’t hitting the fencing at the right angle, it wouldn’t have the same ghastly appearance.

    Neat idea, though.

  44. Add Flash iPod Touch on February 26th, 2008 8:33 pm

    That’s a nice gost over there! ;)

  45. Jimmy on February 26th, 2008 8:43 pm

    “perhaps you could wrap the fencing around yourself for a molding and then open it up slightly, step out, and then close.”

    No, that is a bad idea. For one because you can quite mold that type of fencing like that and two it would be horribly uncomfortable and probably cut you up a bit.

  46. eric y on February 26th, 2008 8:51 pm

    well sammie doesn’t think it’s so impressive so jay whitlow is searching for more versions and what really matter according to the dr. whitlow crew is what it looks like at night and what’s with al this racist stuff?

  47. Jessica on February 26th, 2008 9:03 pm

    it would be cool to spray it with some glow in the dark paint
    http://www.spymac.com/details/?2146727

  48. pk on February 26th, 2008 9:13 pm

    Very nice idea. I am wondering if you could use a weak black-light to enhance the effect at night. Maybe wash the wire in some cleaner with phosphorus in it that would glow when exposed to black-light.

    Then the apparition would glow at night, but not the surroundings.

  49. Free Chat Rooms on February 26th, 2008 9:21 pm

    That is pretty cool, I wonder what kind of reaction you would get if you did it in a cemetary lol?

  50. Rosencrantz on February 26th, 2008 9:32 pm

    And such a remarkingly inventive vocabulary!

  51. erblemoof on February 26th, 2008 9:44 pm

    Nice, but an insult to REAL ghosts everywhere. Now they’ll have to work twice as hard to get any attention. They’ll probably form a union.

  52. pk on February 26th, 2008 10:15 pm

    Very nice idea. I am thinking you could enhance the effect at night with a black light. The wire might not glow itself, but many detergents contain phosphates which glow and you could wash the wire in detergent.

    Using a beam of black light, you could make the apparition appear and disappear at will.

    Sorry if this comes up twice, I posted it, and then it disappeared so I thought I would try once more.

    Again, my compliments on your idea, it came out wonderfully in the pictures.

  53. Jack on February 26th, 2008 10:16 pm

    LOL, that’s hilarious

  58. stephen on February 27th, 2008 1:28 pm

    amazing

  59. Branch4 on February 27th, 2008 1:43 pm

    The coolest thing I have ever seen. Brilliant.

  60. Kristy on February 28th, 2008 11:13 am

    Awesome! Great dummy guys!!!
    Love it when people find inovative ways to test new ways to recreate/debunk things!

    Keep up the great work.

  61. Rick on February 28th, 2008 12:50 pm

    pretty nifty

  62. fangster777 on February 29th, 2008 7:55 am

    Stumbled in today, well creative! smart pal !! nice one. great use of chicken wire, but I dont think it wouyld be that ‘easy’ to shape. works for me though, wouyld like to see one in our local area of woodland, ‘no hopers’ are always in there trashing up anything they find ( or drive in after they stole it )

    in answere to HHH on Feb7th. sinple geez’ he was tanked on bear, should ‘uv stayed on ’spirits’ eh……

  63. fangster777 on February 29th, 2008 7:56 am

    what the heck is bear? beer dum schmuck!! - oh how I hate myself….

  64. BigBoobedVendy on March 5th, 2008 9:35 am

    Great stuff, I want to have one in my garten!

  65. riley on March 15th, 2008 4:14 pm

    i did this and my friends freaked, it was awesome!!! :-)

  66. cynthia on March 16th, 2008 4:17 am

    That is the work of a creative and an intelligent human being. Who would really think of creating a ghost out of a fish net? Great job!

  67. cynthia on March 16th, 2008 4:19 am

    Oh from a fence i mean. Sorry. hahaha

  68. Cheesemoose on March 19th, 2008 5:39 pm

    I just stumbled this high, and nearly crapped myself. Good work, but I wouldn’t really call it easy…….

    “Thats completely fake dude”

    OF COURSE ITS FAKE!! You dumb shit! The whole thing is about making a fake ghost! Did you even read the words above the pictures? Come to think of it, did you even LOOK at the pictures? Your comment makes no sense! And if your thinking that the pictures are photoshopped, then why would he go to the bother of making the thing that you see up close in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pictures? Thanks mate, people like you make me feel really good about being me.

    Anyway, its a great idea, and done really well. I think I might have to give it a try!

  70. Leann on March 23rd, 2008 10:00 pm

    That’s pretty awesome but chicken wire is so hard to work with while wearing those gloves! I’ve made a few things out of the stuff, one being a giant strawberry. I had tiny little cuts all over my hands for days!

  81. Bex on June 5th, 2008 6:19 pm

    Cool-i’d love to be able to do that-my attempt would probably look more like Slimer from the ghostbuster films, well done x

  82. Tony on June 7th, 2008 9:39 pm

    MUM!!?!?!

    OMG - I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE AFTER THIS!!

    Thank you so much. I have tried everything! psychics, mediums, ouija boards, crack, sewing my head to the carpet, inserting pineapples violently into my rectum .. but none of these things enabled me to communicate with my dearly departed mother.

    And here she has shown me a sign … In glorious chicken wire!

    That’s no fake. I would know Mum anywhere.

    I LOVE YOU MUM!!!

    GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE AT THIS SITE!! Thank you for giving me hope.

    <3

  90. Debidoobah on July 13th, 2008 10:40 pm

    Love it!

  91. Brad on August 13th, 2008 4:02 pm

    I set up a grand “diarama” every year in my yard…
    It’s a ghost and graveyard theme with fog, colored lights and thunderstorm sound effects…I wrote a story explaining why this ghost was there….I used a cheesy “fly across the yard” ghost that rides a wire, but I took it apart and enhanced it so it wasn’t SO cheesy…now I think I’m going to implement this idea with the chicken wire ghost and see what happens!

  92. Arnold - Mr.Gadget on September 9th, 2008 8:20 am

    Hey very creative idea! Thanks for sharing your DIY Ghost! :)

  93. Joe on September 13th, 2008 5:52 am

    Photoshopped? Are you joking? Why would you make a fake fake thing?

    Some of you people are idiots, fucking hell.

    Good job on the ghost! At least some people got it.

  94. sarah on October 11th, 2008 11:20 pm

    wow thats so creppy if i saw that i would run screaming i am sooooo going to make that

  95. tim on October 12th, 2008 10:13 pm

    My wife and I just built one. It looks good but the head is lacking a bit. How did you make the head. Also, is the whole structure one continuous piece or sections.

  96. Britt. on May 8th, 2009 3:51 am

    haha! thats a good one! i will have to freak my sis out with this one sometime! =]
