How can I take a fake ghost picture?

Just looking for ideas.
Me and a friends are planning on playing a little trick on our friend who’s sort of scared of ghosts, to get her back for a trick she played on us.
We don’t have access t photoshop or anything like that right now, so what can we do?
Anything that wouldn’t be too obvious to her when she saw the picture would be perfect.
put a sheet over your head and take a picture infront of mirror
i getting scared just thinking about this!
If you have a camera where you can manage a very slow shutter speed (4 seconds or more), take a picture in a dimly lit room of someone who can sit very still. As soon as you click the shutter, have someone else walk behind the person through the frame. They’ll turn out as a ghostly blur. You may have to take a couple of pictures at different speeds to get the exposure right.
My ghost picture is linked below.
DCReed made a great suggestion, but you could also try faking orbs. Take a pinch of flower and sprinkle it in front of you camera with the flash on. This may take a few tries, but you should eventually get some nice orbs. I would show you one that I did a while ago, but I think I deleted it.
Ya…..blow smoke in front of the lens. Here: That picture was an accident….I must have been smoking while I took this. It’s not the greatest “ghost” but I’m sure if you play around with it, you could geta cool lookin’ one.
