The Changing Anatomy of a Ghost

Print

MacDougall's ghosts originally looked like the more traditional ghosts in sheets, but he slowly changed their design to match some of his children's creations. Twins Micky and Ricky loved the ghosts his father drew, and created their own out of pillow cases and rubber bands. MacDougall was so taken by what they made that he eventually asked them to create new ghosts for him to illustrate.
