Unsettling Whispers from the Past: The Queens House Ghost on the Tulip Staircase (1966) isn't just a legend, but a chilling reality captured in traditional Japanese woodblock prints. The ghostly figure on the staircase echoes the eerie presence in Black Lake (1852, oil on canvas) and Study for Death the Bride (1894, oil on canvas). The Theatre (late 16th/early 17th century, Jacques Bellange) seems to mirror the ghost's timeless existence, while H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds - The City Watching Me (undated) adds a modern twist to this unsettling tale. Are these just works of art or windows into another world?
