"Hi, my name is Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here today to tell you how to make yourself up as a not so friendly ghost. The first thing to do is to get yourself a nice volunteer. The entire process is going to be much easier if you have somebody else to help you with this. We're going to take our white sheet and we're going to unfurl it, make sure there are no wadded up pieces of the sheets and that everything is nice and flat like so. We're then going to take the sheet and place it over our volunteer, putting it over her head and letting it fall all the way back. Now, this is where we need to be careful because we want to make sure that the most body area possible is covered and that the sheet is relatively balanced above the ground. To do this, adjust as necessary, step back, step back in and keep adjusting. Eventually you'll get it to the point where if you could magically put some eyes right there, the sheet is appropriately fitted. The process may take a couple of minutes, don't rush. This is one of the most important pieces because what you do next cannot be repeated."
