Questions people ask

How big is it, really?

Three point seven feet from the crown of its head down to the swing board — about the height of a six-year-old, hanging in the air. Rope and all it drops about seven and a half feet from wherever you tie it, and the board is 14.1 inches wide. Thirty-four inches of spare hemp rope let you take that drop up or down to suit the branch you have.

Where does it hang?

Anywhere you can get a rope over: a tree limb, a porch beam, the top of an entry arch, a pergola, a sturdy plant hook. It wants clear air underneath, because the whole point is that it turns. A spot where a breeze crosses is worth more than a spot people walk past.

Will my branch hold it?

It is fabric, rope and a thin pine board, so it is light — but the maker does not publish a weight, and we will not quote one we cannot source. Use a living limb you cannot easily bend by hand and you are well inside anything this can ask of it.

What if I do not have a tree?

A porch beam is the better spot anyway. Hanging under a roof keeps the ghost lit against a dark ceiling instead of against the sky, which is what makes it read from the street, and it is out of the worst of the weather.

Can it stay out in the rain?

The battery box is sealed and made for outdoor use, and the fabric and rope are outdoor materials. What the maker does not publish is a weather rating for the whole piece, so we do not claim one. Treat it the way you would treat a paper lantern you like: fine in weather, better under an eave.

How do the lights work?

Fifteen LEDs sit inside the fabric, so the ghost glows as one shape instead of showing a string of dots. The remote gives you eight lighting modes and four brightness levels, and a timer that runs it six hours on and eighteen off, every day, without you touching it again.

What do I have to do when it arrives?

Almost nothing. The head, the fabric and the light string come pre-installed, and the swing board and ropes arrive fully assembled. You stick on the two eyes, put batteries in the box and hang it. The maker does not state which batteries it takes, so keep the box handy until you have opened it.

How does it store?

It stays assembled. Fold the fabric down over the board, coil the ropes, and it goes back in the bin as one piece — which is the whole reason a pre-assembled prop is worth more on November 1st than it looked on October 1st.
