How to make a fake ghost video using Microsoft Movie Maker - Part 2

This is just a follow up video on my "How to make a fake ghost video in Windows Movie Maker Tutorial" When I made the first one, I didn't include the "fade out" so that the "ghost" would stay transparent, and/or disappear at the end of the stair case. This video explains how to do that (Its pretty much doing everything in the first video... again, but fading into the still image, instead of fading into the video).

Since a lot of people were asking/commenting about how to fix that, I made this "Part 2" Video, other replies to comments I've received are:

1) THIS IS FAKE (DUH READ THE TITLE)

You would not believe how many times I've gotten PM's about "This ISN'T a real Ghost Video"... My reply: Really??? What was your first hint after the Title of the clip, and the whole "Tutorial" part of the video?

2) If I wanted to make this appear more real I would do the following:

2a) Not use a 4 year old as the "star"
2b) Not comment about a "ghost" using the handrails (Safety's always important)
2c) Not use a stripped bed sheet
2d) Not use the original sound
2e) Not add the "How I did it" tutorial to the beginning of it
2f) Have have the phrase "FAKE GHOST VIDEO" in the title of the film clip
(you wouldn't believe how many messages I've gotten over the years mentioning the above 6 items)

ALSO If I wanted to make it "look" more real I would:

1) Spend a LOT more time finding the "perfect" place to put the fade out.
2) add "Screen Noise"
3) add Green "night Vision" tint, or Black & White
4) add a silly title page about "A strange creaking noise coming down my stair case everynight at midnight, so decided to record it one night.. THIS IS WHAT I GOT!!!@@!" Ooh Ahh run for your lives
5) Add a touch of camera shake effect to make it look like its handheld and not on a tripod
6) Replace the original sound with eerie music or whatever noise I "think" ghosts would make (maybe just footsteps creeking down the stairs so that my title fits the final product.

And if none of that worked.. I'd just add a screamer vid to the end to make everyone jump (Search "Screamer" in youtube.. most of them are hysterical.)
