If it is illusion, misdirection, and sleight-of-hand you seek, you won't find it here. All I can do is hold up for you a mirror, bright and clear.

Photograph taken by Hubert C. Provand alleged to be of a ghostly woman descending a large staircase in a stately house.

"All houses wherein men have lived and died
Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
The harmless phantoms on their errands glide
With feet that make no sound upon the floors."

'Haunted Houses', Henry Wadsworth Longfellow #BookWormSat

A small black shaggy dog painted by Bryan Kneale, brother of the Quatermass creator Nigel Kneale. The accompanying story comes from 'Apparitions And Ghosts' by Andrew MacKenzie.

In the 1960s a Mrs Glasson, then working as a night nurse, settled down to her midnight meal in the canteen when she felt tiny teeth gnawing gently at her leg. She looked down and saw they belonged to a small black shaggy #dog. It let go of her leg and then melted away into thin air.
