Don’t look now, but there’s a ghost in the garden! Yeah, perhaps it's a not-so-scary “bedsheet ghost" cliché, like a Charlie Brown Halloween costume, but the eyeholes are stuck on, not cut out! There is a historical basis for the sheet, though. In medieval times, people would bury the body wrapped in white cloth shrouds and place it into the family crypt. So, of course, when the dead awoke to haunt the hallways in 19th and 20th-century ghost stories, the billowing white laundry aesthetic became a natural motif. Nowadays, shrouds have given way to vaping smoke and glowing light shows.
