Ghost-like decorative object

A decorative structure for simulating an appearance of a ghost, comprising:

• a support bag member having a filling therein to substantially fill said support bag member, thereby providing a filled support bag member;
• a flexible sheet member means placed completely over and covering said filled support bag member and in contact with at least an upper portion of said filled support bag member, and said flexible sheet member means having facial indicia thereon for simulating at least an appearance of a face of a ghost, said flexible sheet member means further having free peripheral end portions spaced from said support bag member;
• and
