ABSTRACT:
Decorative structures comprising a flexible sheet-like member simulate universal conceptions of the appearance of floating and fixed ghosts. A structure for simulating a universal conception of the appearance of a floating ghost comprises a flexible sheet-like member draped over a support member, such as a balloon, to form a composite structure. The composite structure is suspended from a support structure to simulate the appearance of a floating ghost. A decorative structure for simulating a universal conception of a fixed ghost comprises a support bag member having a filling therein, and a flexible sheet-like member placed over the support bag member and having facial indicia simulating an appearance of a face of a ghost thereon. The free ends of the sheet-like member are secured to the ground at spaced apart positions, to provide a generally inverted conical shape, so that the resultant structure can flutter when subjected to wind or the like. The support bag member may be fixed to the ground, for example, by means of pegs. Another embodiment comprises a pair of balloons tied together to form a reduced size area therebetween. A flexible sheet-like covering member is mounted over the tied-together balloons and is pinched or gathered at the reduced size area between the balloons, by a flexible tie, to simulate a head and body of a ghost-like object.
