Ghost coloring pages in two formats, all on one page. The first is the classic black-and-white line drawing: a full-size outline with nothing but clean ink lines, ready for any palette you have in mind. The second is the copy-coloring format, where a finished color version sits on top and the same outline waits underneath, separated by a dotted cut line. Use the Show me buttons above the gallery to see everything at once, only the Black & White pages, or only the pages With Color Sample – your choice is remembered while you browse.
The ghosts here are the friendly kind: round, rosy-cheeked, and far too busy with their hobbies to haunt anybody. You will find cozy autumn and Halloween scenes, quiet indoor corners, little adventures, and plenty of pumpkins, lanterns, and falling leaves in the background. The black-and-white sheets lean detailed, with patterned backgrounds and lots of small objects, which makes them a good fit for fine-tip pens, colored pencils, and a long relaxed evening. The copy-coloring sheets use bolder shapes and medium-sized areas, so they work just as well with crayons and thick markers. Together they cover a seasonal craft night, a classroom Halloween table, a fall party activity corner, or a calm hour with a cup of cocoa.
Each sheet is a free printable: click the picture – PDF opens, US Letter, fits A4. The line drawings print crisp on any home printer in plain black ink. The colored reference on the copy-coloring sheets looks best from a color printer; on a black-and-white printer it comes out in gray tones, so simply trim it off along the dotted line if you want a plain outline.
Nobody is grading the results. Purple ghosts, neon pumpkins, and a rainbow sky over a haunted rooftop are all perfectly acceptable.

Fun Things to Make with These Coloring Pages
- Cut along the dotted line, color the outline, and pin both halves side by side on the fridge as a "before and after" pair.
- Color a set of ghost sheets in the same palette (white, pale blue, lavender) and bind them with a ribbon into a mini Halloween book.
- Turn a finished sheet into a party invitation: fold it in half, write the date inside, and let the ghosts do the rest.
- Glue a colored outline onto card stock, cut around the main ghost, and hang it in a window as a paper decoration.
- Use the sheets as a matching game: cut the colored top and the colored-in bottom apart, shuffle, and match them up.
- Practice shading by coloring the ghosts with only one gray pencil, pressing harder in the folds and lighter on the round tops.
- Add a background the reference does not have – a haunted house, a full moon, a pumpkin patch – to make each page your own.
- Laminate a finished sheet and use it as a place mat for a fall dinner or a Halloween party table.
