    People Are Making “Chicken Wire Ghosts” For Halloween And They Look So Spooky

    We’re going to show you a Halloween decoration trick that will turn your yard into a spooky visual treat. Chicken wire ghosts are the latest Halloween décor trend right now. And you only need to see them to understand why people are into this fad. A figure cloaked in white blanket – that’s how we usually depict ghosts when making Halloween decorations. Since ghost blankets only present a cartoonish depiction of these spectral entities, they actually don’t look scary at all.

    If you want your ghostly decorations to look as realistic as possible, you might want to learn how to make chicken wire ghosts. You can initially get an idea based from the name itself. The point here is to create ghostly sculptures out of the flexible wire mesh that you commonly use to fence in chickens. Since the netting material is thin and pliable, you can easily shape it anyway you want. Of course, human figures are ideal subjects to create realistic-looking ghosts.

    What makes chicken wire the perfect material for these ghost sculptures is its hexagonal gaps that would later give the sculpture a semi-transparent appearance. Now, imagine coming across a semi-transparent life-like human figure that appears to be floating in mid-air. That’s a real ghost right there. And that’s exactly what this trick is all about.

     

     

     

    To make your chicken wire ghosts look even spookier, we suggest painting the mesh wire white to make it more visible from a distance. Here’s another clever trick – place some spooky lights under the sculptures. At night, watch the lights illuminate the ghostly sculptures to give a spine-chilling display. Your neighbors and all passersby would think your house is haunted with these realistic ghosts hanging out in your yard.
