The perfect image for Old Hallowe'en, which is today! In the time before the Gregorian calendar lopped off twelve days to make things fit, this would have been All Hallows' Eve in the Celtic calendar. It's also the festival of St. Martin, which has traditionally marked the beginning of winter. So this ghost isn't so much lost as right on time.
I'll have a bigger post about all that later on, but for now, as one person memorably put it in the St. Martin's Day tag, happy second-chance Hallowe'en! If you're not ready to surrender to the onslaught of Christmas, or your Hallowe'en was a bit of a damp squib and you want another bite of the pumpkin, go forth and enjoy...
That said, if you're full steam ahead to Christmas, the Solstice, and all that winter has to offer, visit me @now-winter-comes-slowly as well, for more of the same sort of thing you'll find on this blog, but with a chill wind, the light of a northerly star, and a coating of frost...

This child who came to my house tonight is literally the funniest human being on the planet. She complimented me on having both lollipops and mini Three Musketeers available because "a lot of houses these days don't give you a fruit flavor option." She was very solemn about this.
