A group of five cute sheet ghosts with simple oval black eyes gathers on a path in the foreground: one peeks from behind a tree trunk, one carries a small glowing lantern, and one is beside a carved jack-o'-lantern. Beyond them stands an old English stone cottage with a thatched roof, several chimneys and warm lit windows, framed by two gnarled autumn trees shedding rust-orange leaves.

A full pale moon, wispy clouds and a few bat silhouettes fill the blue night sky, while lantern and window light pools golden on the ghosts, path and fallen leaves. Thick impasto on the ghosts' sheets, loose palette-knife dabs in the foliage and visible linen weave give this vintage storybook oil painting a gently spooky, cozy feel.
