The oldest of the old-school Halloween costumes, the sheet-over-your-head ghost, has been updated ... with drones.
Welcome to ghost droning, the newest trend sweeping the nation.
People have taken to draping fabric over drones and letting them fly through the streets. Some, sporting clown heads, arms and bony fingers, are more elaborate than others. But they all serve the same purpose: to scare neighborhood kids like nothing ever has before.
As the drones sweep through the air, their fabric coverings billow in the wind. One innovative drone owner even added lights under his sheet, to make sure his drone glowed and could thus be spotted on – or above – darkened streets.
Another used a string to drag a skeleton decoration with LED lights through the air.
The description to one ghost-droning video read: “I wasn’t able to get any footage of scaring people that night but i will in the near future.”
Another said: “This is going to freak out some people this Halloween.”
