All Hallows Eve

I am re posting a Halloween post from 2010 because I don't think there is anything to beat a Gothic tale on All Hallows Eve...

Miss Havisham requests the pleasure of your company...

Trust me, you need to humour her

 Mrs Danvers is waiting

Brrr

Can you see Cathy at the window?

 Could this passageway lead to Bertha's rooms?

Remember, walls, have ears

So be careful who you trust!

Roman Solowiej
Where does this staircase lead?

Ahh, Dorians secret

Don't they make a handsome couple!

 Do you see her?

Elle Dunn
Enter at your peril!

They are waiting for you...

 Waiting....

 Lartigue
 Waiting.....

 You may need help.

Haunting Inspirations

Glamis Castle, Angus, Scotland, home to Michael Bowes-Lyon, the 18th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. Birthplace and childhood home of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. Reputedly one of the most haunted castles in Britain.  William Shakespeare chose Glamis Castle as the setting for 'The Scottish Play'. I can't bring myself to write the true name of the play, old habits die hard and I am a bit superstitious!

Top Withens, Nr Haworth, West Yorkshire, the plaque below explains...

Whitby Abbey, Whitby, North Yorkshire, easy to see why it inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula.

Daphne du Maurier at her home, Menabilly, Cornwall. The house she fell in love with, the house that inspired Mandelay and Rebecca.

I hope you will all be hauntingly inspired this Halloween.
