 How To Make A Halloween Ghost Gathering

The first thing you will need is to take a trip to your local hardware store and pick up 7 or 8 poles or stakes that are at least 6 to 8 feet in length.

You will also need 7 or 8 large white pieces of cloth at least the size of a twin top bed sheets and 7 or 8 medium to large Styrofoam
balls, 2 or 3 sheets of black felt and some Elmer’s glue.

After the heads are all secure on top of the poles drape one of the large white clothes over each ghost, use the twine or rope to tie the cloth around the base or neck of the heads.

My neighbor did a gathering of witches instead of ghosts and placed a large caldron in the center of the circle of witches. On Halloween night she place the dry ice in the large black pot and it appeared as though the witches were brewing up an evil spell. She played witches chants and screeches. All enjoyed it. california people finder you can see how to make a Halloween ghost gathering is the easy part, what you do with it on Halloween night is the real fun part. Happy Halloween everyone!
