The illusion is widely used for entertainment and publicity purposes. This launched an international vogue for ghost-themed plays, which used this novel stage effect, during the 1860s and subsequent decades. It is named after the English scientist John Henry Pepper (1821–1900) who began popularising the effect with a theatre demonstration in 1862. Pepper's ghost is an illusion technique used in the theatre, cinema, amusement parks, museums, television, and concerts.
To the audience, it appears as if the ghost is on stage. A brightly lit figure out of the audience's sight below the stage is reflected in a pane of glass placed between the performer and the audience.
