In the sixth sense, whenever the ghosts are seen, there is always a eerie "vibe" in the atmosphere. I am making a ghost movie, and am very interested in all the effects they achieved. How do I create creepy atmospheres?

sound is important, and color, notice in how the sixth sense when the ghosts appear it seemed kinda "cold"

Sound is important, as the post above suggests. check out "Experiment No. 1" on my music sample site (liked below). It is kind of atmostpheric, and creepy.

Dark Blue Lights, bright white lights, and if possible, some fog to enhance the beams. if you cant find fake fog, make shadows as sharp as possible.

If you can't find fake fog you can also shoot in Apopka, FL. There's been a low laying fog here 80% of the darker hours since I've lived here.
