This is hands down one of the most commented on aspects of Little Pearl Haunt. It's simplicity is appealing across generations and it's surprisingly effective.
Project needs list:
- White sidewalk chalk (dollar store purchase)
- A rag or two
- Apparition inspiration
Outline the ghost and fill it in with chalk. Choose whatever design you want, there's possibilities are endless. Nubby cartoonish hands or long spindly fingers, who knows what shape phantasms manifest themselves.
Using your fingers, blend the chalk together, creating a solid white look. I like to go around the edges and create a whispy effect. Use the rag to "erase" any mistakes. You may need water to do this but usually some rubbing with the rag works.
And there you go, chalk ghosts! Draw them leading out of the cemetery and into your house, or reverse it and have them fleeing out your front door. I have dreams of the night before Halloween, going around the neighborhood and creating a trail of ghosts from various streets all leading to my house. As if I'm not swamped enough already carving pumpkins but one day...one day...
21 days till Halloween...

| Early nubby handed ghosts. I think this was their debut year |
 |
| Morning after picture, ghost took a beating |
 |
| Still into the nubs... |
 |
| So |
 |
| New style alert: creepy fingered ghosts |
 |
| One of those long, ghostly fingers tickling your neck? Eek! |
 |
| Creeping out the cemetery and into the house |
 |
| The spirits from the graveyard would like to have a word with the lady of the house |
 |
| Boo |
