An autistic boy’s Halloween costume has caused him to be repeatedly be mistaken for a ghost despite him clearly being a boy wearing a sheet with eye holes cut out, sources have revealed.
Finley Rice, seven, had been excited to unveil his homemade costume, but was reportedly left “baffled” by adults responding “ooooh spooky”.
Rice said: “Do these people have rocks in their heads? What’s so spooky about a bedsheet?”
He continued: “Do they think the bedsheet is haunted?”
“This is worse than last year, when I went as boy with cape and dental anomaly.”
