Visual Description

Under a black sky dotted with five yellow stars, a pumpkin-headed figure in a round orange costume and purple tights stands on a rocky bank. Five pale yellow ghost-like figures in hooded robes float and gesture toward the pumpkin person while one ghost kneels pouring water from a pail into the river. A small black cat reclines on an orange mound near the figure's feet. The card title along the bottom reads "Five of Ghosts."
