* '''Deconstructed''': He needs to use a piece of cloth or else nobody would even be able to see him when needed, and he wants to prevent being a disembodied voice.
* '''Played For Laughs''':
** The bedsheet is full of holes, or the ghost is ridiculed for his [[NightmareRetardant laughably simple appearance.]]
** The ghost pretends to be a person in disguise, and surprises everyone when it's revealed theres nothing under the bedsheet.
** The ghost's bedsheet has a gaudy pattern, like polka-dots or tartan.
* '''Played For Drama''': The ghost uses the bedsheet because his real appearance is [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm absolutely terrifying]], [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith and so his guests will be slightly more comfy around him.]]
