The bedsheet ghost trend, as a video of you
The bedsheet ghost photoshoot, a white sheet, sunglasses and an autumn backdrop, has been one of the most shared Halloween looks. This template turns it into a two-shot video: the ghost turns on a leafy path, then lifts the sheet and it is you, with your own face from your reference photos.

Made from these photos

- No watermark; your first clip is free
Who it’s for
For anyone joining the bedsheet ghost photo trend without buying props or booking a photographer, for couples and friends doing it together, and for creators who want the reveal moment on video instead of a still.
The prompt
What the studio fills in for you. Your subject takes the place in brackets; you can change any of it.
- Shot 1A figure under a plain white bedsheet with eye holes and black sunglasses stands on a leaf-covered path in an autumn park at golden hour, slowly turning toward the camera. Handheld, warm light, falling leaves.
- Shot 2The figure pulls the sheet off: it is [you], smiling, the sheet over one arm, leaves swirling. Medium shot, soft golden backlight.
Make it yours
Change the backdrop
Move the ghost from the autumn park to a pumpkin patch, a vintage car, or a city rooftop at sunset.
Ghost with a prop
Give the ghost a coffee cup, a book or a bunch of flowers in the first shot for the cosy version of the trend.
Make it a duo
Add a second person as a subject and write two ghosts side by side, both pulling off their sheets in the second shot.
Photos that work best
People: 1–5 photos with the face clearly visible and evenly lit — a straight-on portrait first, then a three-quarter angle and a profile. Skip sunglasses, heavy filters and group shots; if a photo shows more than one person, the studio can’t tell who you mean.
How it works
- Sign in and add you from 1–5 photos. Each subject is saved once, so every later template takes one tap.
- The studio opens with this template filled in: both shots, 5 seconds, 9:16. Change any word you like.
- Press Generate. The clip is ready in a few minutes, without a watermark, and the same subject is there for the next one.
Questions
- What is the bedsheet ghost trend?
- A Halloween photo trend where someone poses under a plain white sheet with eye holes, often with sunglasses, in an autumn setting. RefVid's template turns it into a short video that ends with the sheet coming off to show your own face.
- Do I need a sheet or a photoshoot?
- No. Upload 1 to 5 clear photos of yourself; RefVid's model draws the sheet, the setting and the reveal.
- How much does the bedsheet ghost video cost?
- A new RefVid account’s free credits cover one 3-second clip. The full template is 5 seconds: buy it as a single video, with no plan, or use credits from a pack or plan. Current prices are on the pricing page.
- How is this different from a ghost photoshoot?
- A ghost photoshoot needs a sheet, a location and a photographer, and gives you stills. This makes a short video with the reveal, from photos you already have.
