Haunts: 2001 Walkthrough Entire Walkthrough | Open Floor Plan in New Window 
Pepper's GhostThe most elaborate effect of both our 2000 and 2001 haunt is Pepper's Ghost. A transparent ghost is seen sitting on a chair inside the house. 
The effect makes use of a large piece of glass positioned to reflect a person who is hidden
from the guests' view. The actress' reflection appears to the guests to be a transparent
ghost in the hallway.Unlike our 2000 haunt where we actually needed to construct a seperate room for Jen, our Pepper's ghost actress to stand in, this year, we were able to make use of the inside hallway and laundry room for the effect. Jen stood in the laundry room, in which we had adjusted the lighting and draped several large black backdrops, and her ghost was reflected so that it appeared to be sitting in a chair that we had placed at the end of the hall. Since our glass pane was smaller than would have been ideal, we needed to hide the top and side edges of the glass. For the side edge, we opened the door partially and positioned the glass so that one side was hidden behind it. To hide the top edge, we placed a wooden fence panel across the door to obscure that portion of the glass from a guest's line of sight. To make this fit in to the scene, we angled other boards along side the door and strung caution tape to give the idea of a condemned building. The effect is extremely effective and well worth any time and money needed to construct it. Unfortunately, due to the dim lighting required for the effect, photographs of Pepper's Ghost do not turn out well.
