The two ghosts from the closed Magic Carpet Golf property on Speedway have found themselves left all alone and are desperately needing a new home.  A private party had originally adopted them but due to severe health problems are unable to take them home.

Besides the giant Sphinx, these 40-year-old statues find themselves totally alone since all the other figurative sculptures have been adopted.  These two unique creatures are probably two of the easiest to remove and the lightest of all the giant statues on the former miniature golf course.

These Ghosts are very happy gentle creatures and are not meant to scare anyone. They just need a new loving home. For more details please contact me at cspillar@q.com for more details.

Make these GHOSTS happy again by adopting them!
