Hang a lot of these cute original Tissue Paper Ghosts designed by the FreeKidsCrafts team  to create a fun atmosphere for Halloween. Easy for little fingers and big kids alike and lots of fun.

Trivia:

Despite a new religious focus, people in Old England and Ireland continued to associate the time with the wandering dead. They set out gifts of foods to please the spirits, and as time wore on, people would dress in scary costumes in exchange for treats themselves — a practice called “mumming,” which is similar to today’s trick-or-treating.
