Halloween traditions in the UK go right back to Pagan times, when Samhain, a Celtic festival, was celebrated over 3 days and nights from 31st October. These celebrations often involved fire rituals and sometimes, cattle were sacrificed in order to try to keep the bleak Winters at bay. Halloween was seen as a time when the thin veil between our world and the next was lifted, so it was also used as a time to communicate with the spirits beyond.
Black and orange has long been associated with halloween, with black representing the darkness, and orange the colour of fire and Autumn.
Our Halloween Ghost is a vibrant metallic orange with a black crackle glaze.
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!

All sizes are approximate and may vary.
All of our clay is weighed equally and individually shaped entirely by hand. Other factors, such as humidity can affect the drying process of the clay, and therefore affect the size of our ghosts as well as the shape.
