Moonlight Masquerade

Hello ladies,

My sister and I worked at the Moonlight Masquerade this weekend. Inside the historic and haunted Mt. Holly Library, there was a costume party, a spooky feast and perhaps wandering spirits and goblins afoot.

Allow me to offer you a tour.
In the foyer, you will be greeted by The Raven.
A mantle of expressive pumpkins.
Fiery eyes!
A haunting scream!
You are being watched.
The Magician Tarot card, a crystal ball and The Fine Art Tarot.
On the second floor, a spell is cast.
A grimoire, a candle and a corked bottle of shrunken pumpkins.

Too much hemlock.
Cauldrons and skeletons.
A mysterious skull.
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken.
Confusion in the stairwell.
An owl guards the attic.
Someone has been here for quite awhile.

My sister and I used the Ouija board in the attic. We survived to tell the tale.

The flash offered more illumination for our virtual tour. In the haunted library, we existed by candle flame and a few glowing strands of light.

Happy painting, ladies, and happy haunting!

  12. Fascinating! I would never use a Ouija board again. I had one when I was around 16 and too many weird things happened. I was very interested in the occult then.
