Some of you guys might remember about a year ago when I made a post titled something like “down and dirty” [ghost trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap). Well… I finally found the time to finish it! It’s not exactly the way I want it, and there are some obvious problems such as the black line on the top of the trap to make it seem that there are actually two doors that open when it is really just one piece of wood. Anyway… I’m pretty happy with it… especially since I just wanted it finished and not thrown out. I now can move on to a movie accurate trap, yeah! But for now here is the cheap trap. Made completely with stuff from the usual retail stores. Let me know what you think. Also, I’m aware there are no warning labels, connector hose or trap pedal… those may or may not ever make it into the world… just depends on how much free time I have. Enjoy… ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam\_photo777/Ghost](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam_photo777/Ghost) Trap\_101\_1614.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam\_photo777/Ghost](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam_photo777/Ghost) Trap\_101\_1612.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam\_photo777/Ghost](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam_photo777/Ghost) Trap\_101\_1588.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam\_photo777/Ghost](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam_photo777/Ghost) Trap\_101\_1584.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam\_photo777/Ghost](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam_photo777/Ghost) Trap\_101\_1578.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam\_photo777/Ghost](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam_photo777/Ghost) Trap\_101\_1603.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam\_photo777/Ghost](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/adam_photo777/Ghost) Trap\_101\_1602.jpg) And yup - the lights do light up - kinda hard to tell in the sunlight. ---

Looks awesome! I remember this too! Like you said maybe just slap a Danger label on there and maybe another and call it a day! 😃 Great work! Like many have said before, this doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby. ---

I love that trap. It’s sleek and still retains the look of the movie. It looks like a new generation trap. ---
