These ghosts are the unknown identities... the silent majority... Gliding about in various locations, unaware of their ghostly status and often seen disappearing into walls where once there were none. Up until the 19th Century, the dead, and usually the very poor, were buried in shrouds rather than coffins. At the start of the 19th Century, robbers, smugglers and murderers would dress up in burial shrouds and use them to scare unsuspecting travellers into submission along the highways of old. They would then rob, kidnap or murder the poor victims, and those who escaped spoke of the ghostly apparations of the dead, coing back to life to steal away their loved ones... Since then, the traditional white sheet ghost has been used in popular culture around the world to represent those who have passed.
From graveyards to schools, these apparitions can be seen all over Kent; usually out of the corner of your eye... but we've managed to capture some so you can see one for yourself. Finished in a magical, shimmering white finish. Take good care of these ghosties, and they'll always take good care of you!
Each Kent Coast Ghost is carefully handcrafted from clay and goes through several processes, which include drying, sanding, sealing, painting, and finally varnishing, (dependent on the final finish).
We don't use moulds to create Kentish ghosts; every feature is added by hand using traditional clay tools, and this gives each ghost its own unique features. Some of our ghosts are not perfectly straight, or may have different expressions in their eyes and faces, and each ghost is individually hand-painted so may contain slightly different patterning to the ghost pictured.
All of our ghosts will be sent in a gift box with a Certificate of Authenticity especially for your ghost, and yours alone. These are put in a special envelope sealed with our very own special spooky wax seal ready for the Ghost Post to deliver them to their new Ghost Host!
