Ghosts

The Ghosts are a trio of floating spooks who were designed in the tradition of cloth sheet with eyeholes and mouths cut out, and were filmed so as to seem transparent.

These ghosts made their only appearance on The Muppet Show in episode 119, telling ghost jokes, singing the Beatles' "I'm Looking Through You" as the episode's UK Spot, and joining in the episode's closing number, "You've Got a Friend."

In this episode, the two male ghosts were performed by John Lovelady and Richard Hunt; the female ghost was performed Eren Ozker.

One of the ghosts was reused in the Mopatop's Shop episode "Ghosts," where he was performed by Brian Herring.

A different ghost puppet appeared in episode 307 of The Muppet Show, echoing the dance moves of Alice Cooper in "Welcome to My Nightmare" and Thog in "Once a Year Day." While this ghost also floated and was filmed so as to seem transparent, his appearance differed in that his body appeared to be wrapped like a mummy and he had two legs instead of no discernible lower half.

Merchandise

• A non-articulated Ghost action figure, based on the first season model, was included as an accessory with the Uncle Deadly Action Figure. It included a clear base and stand to make the Ghost appear as if it were floating. Three different paint schemes were produced -- regular, clear, and glow-in-the-dark.
