If the usual garden scarecrow seems boring to the owners, you can always make someone more terrible.
Even if such a ghost does not scare the raven, night passersby will definitely not leave it unattended.
In this review, the author tells and shows how to make a ghost-lamp for your private house or cottage with your own hands.
First you need to make a frame. It must be stable and heavy enough to support the weight of the cement.
For this, any old arcs and pipes are suitable. You should have two main peaks - the head and the outstretched arm of the ghost.
It’s enough to create the rest of the form conditionally, because the fabric will still hide it. Directly draw a cord to the arm onto which the lantern will be mounted.
The main stages of work
Now we will begin preparations for the creation of the most spectacular part - the cloak. Knead a thin cement mortar and, impregnating the fabric with it, create a hanging stole on the frame.
Pour the mixture over the ghost. While the cement is wet, try to give it an interesting shape by forming different folds.

On the sleeve and bottom of the cloak, make more uneven ragged edges by cutting the fabric or laying individual pieces of it.
To make the figure spectacular, you need a lot of fabric. The more draperies and hanging pieces you make, the more dynamic our ghost will look.
Now you need to hang the flashlight and let the cement dry. You can connect the flashlight to electricity or choose a battery-powered model.
In any case, all interest will be that the light is turned on by movement.
It remains to install a flashlight and wait for the dark. Surely, such a neighborhood on the site will not appeal to everyone, but a ghost lamp can be reserved for parties or rallies.
