When I first read this I thought you meant something like ectoplasm or vapors. 😬 I love looking for the “ghost” signs you’re talking about.
One of my very favorite phenomena!!!!! Can’t wait to see the suggestions!
My boys love the "spaghetti warehouse" sign in Hartford!
Love them! Of course can’t think of one at the moment 😂
From Oakville, CT!

I always enjoy passing the “Smoothie Foundation Garments” sign on the old Strouse, Adler factory in New Haven (Olive Street). I am linking here since I do not own my own photo of it. commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Strouse,_Adler1.jpg#mw-jump-to-license
Norwalk. Is it a ghost when it has been repainted? Smoothie in New Haven was also repainted.
Just remembered this one: www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=TpC0xzOF&id=D03EB4D3EA694F40956B38A7F50BB3AC77C5479...
The old Curtiss Company flying school at Bridgeport Airport. They ran the airport when it was initially built in 1927. Yep, same company as Glenn Curtiss and the Curtiss Wright company of subsequent aviation fame. www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/glenn-curtiss-was-here-19082214/?fbclid=IwAR1m-0xVCptXdQF4Y...
What is a ghost sign please??

From our friends Litchfield Historical Society!

'By the Force of its Own Merits' is a one-day symposium that will round out a two-year celebration of the Litchfield Female Academy, a progressive educational institution that instructed over 3,000 young women between 1792 and 1833. A diverse slate of presenters will discuss the structure and curriculum of the Academy, illuminate its role in the development of educational and social opportunities for women, and speak to the school’s legacy and relevancy within current scholarship. The symposium will also feature Educator-led walking tours of Litchfield’s town center focusing on the daily life of Female Academy students and an in-depth look at Female Academy materials from the archival and museum collections.
