We have whispered to ghosts and convened with phantoms, so now it is only right to say helloOooOooO to a new haunted top! The Base Spirit is the basic, t-shirt version of my Ghost Whisperer and Phantom Fuzz designs for the people who want to wear a classic t-shirt, minus the classic part. Knit from the top down, the see-through and airy fabric knits up extremely fast, so you will be sipping spirits with specters in no time!
