Ghost – Sandtray Miniature (Large & Small Sizes)
Ghosts are an important and versatile addition to any sandtray collection, offering both metaphorical depth and literal visual impact. In sandtray therapy, a ghost can symbolize past events, lingering memories, unresolved relationships, or people who feel unseen, unheard, or emotionally “hollow.” Clients may also use it to represent haunting thoughts, grief, trauma, or the parts of themselves they’ve tried to forget.
On the positive side, ghosts can embody ancestry, legacy, spiritual presence, protection, and the idea that we are shaped by those who came before us. They may represent moments when clients feel watched over, connected, or guided by memories, intuition, or inner wisdom.
Therapeutically, ghosts invite exploration of:
-
Past vs. present
-
Unresolved grief or unfinished business
-
Feeling invisible or overlooked
-
Emotional emptiness, numbness, or dissociation
-
Legacy, connection, or spiritual symbolism
-
The “shadow self” or parts of identity that linger quietly
These translucent figures can be placed over other people miniatures to represent someone carrying the past or being overshadowed, or placed over a light to create an impactful visual effect that deepens the narrative.
Each ghost comes in two sizes—large and small—allowing for symbolic differentiation between something overwhelming and something subtle, or between personal and generational themes.
Sizes:
Large: L 3 in. x W 3 1/4 in. x H 4 in.
Small: L 2 in. x W 2 ⅛ in. x H 2 ⅝ in
