Around November of 1996 I was fortunate enough to find a web site here on the internet that gave some general plans on how to build your own apparition which looked under blacklight to be a ghost animated in mid air, designed by Doug Ferguson. I decided to undertake the assembly of this lady of the darkness and upon completion I was quite happy with the end result. Yet since it was built out of a sheet of 3/4" plywood nearly 4' square, it was so heavy that it was very difficult to move and store. There had to be a better way to build it and in April of '97 it came to me.

   What you see here is the first collapsible, portable floating ghost platform ever built. Using just 19 oz of aluminum this entire assembly weighs just over one pound over the weight of the motor! Easy enough to build in one hour, this platform folds down small enough to store in a western shoe box with the turn of one wing nut and two seconds. Here's how I did it.
