Does anyone know the name of this board game?

Question

early 70's I had a plastic board game, it stood on legs, it glowed in the dark. The counter was a ghost (pointing his finger) you spun him around. It made a clicking sound. Making you way around the board there where holes in the board that you reached your hand into (dont know why) there where containers of articles in boxes under the holes. One I remember 1 was filled with feathers. I remember that it was large enough that we played on the floor with it.

It was a spooky halloween game. Does anyone have any idea what the name of this game was. Possibly what company produced it??

Thank you.

BGG entry for Green Ghost:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/4460

From the description:

"Marketed as the first glow-in-the-dark game, there were at least three versions of the board. One was green with red spaces, another white with red spaces and the third was white with brown spaces. The glowing does not work as well as showed on the television commercials, which, if you watched carefully, were filmed using black light. (If you wish to play the game, you may like to use a black light yourself.)

Past the appearance, the game itself is pretty much the usual roll-and-move with a few twists. The board is up on stilts and the "path" has holes in it so that movers may fall through and thereby gain the privilege of opening one of the three pits (cardboard boxes containing ghoulish feeling items) and retrieving one of the precious small green ghosts. Players are not ensuring victory, but simply improving their chances in the end game which is decided by the giant green ghost spinner."

Green Ghost was originally published by Transogram, and then later had a revival by Marx Toys, but the Marx version was reportedly sub-standard.  The original Transogram version will set you back $100-150 on eBay.
