I like gladware, as you can simply throw it away if you get a real nasty ghost trapped in there!

I’m guessing the idea of the tin foil is to create something reflective, so that if you were you to put some kind of lamp inside the [ghost trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap) when the doors open it would be super bright.

Couldn’t you just paint it as opposed to foil? I mean metallic silver would be the same effect and wouldn’t look as cheapily executed.

with the proper light, you won’t even see if there’s foil anywhere in the general location of the trap; and you’ll understand why they suggested to not look in the trap…

I like Wax Paper inside of my trap. It keeps the ghosts from sticking to it, and makes it smell better.

A few weeks late, but still a worthy addition.

Thanks for the chuckle. 🆒

no no no you’re all wrong. a welders torch and white tissue paper…now those are some holly wood effects. seriously, craft stores sell special paper that is reflect like foil, but doesn’t wrinkle. i used it for the metal side plates. beats silver spray paint. no contest.
