However I did find some time to conjure a short spooky animation for Halloween. Although first here's a little biographical introduction...
I vividly remember this book, Haunted Houses by Larry Kettelkamp, in my elementary school library...
That cover was fascinating, and I leafed through the book a number of times while standing in the school library. I don't remember ever checking it out. I think I was probably too scared to actually take that book home with me. It was safer to just leave it in the school library.
Anyway that cover photo is Tulip Staircase Ghost, and for my money, probably the best ghost photo ever taken. If it's a hoax it's pure genius. The way the figure is distorted and elongated is truly otherworldly.
If you'd like to know more about the Tulip Staircase Ghost photo please click this link. If you'd like to watch a short animation I made using this photo simply click play if you dare...
Hopefully I'll find the time to do another quick "Preternatural Peculiarities" before the month is through. Are there any ideas out there?

That's so creepy cool that I might have nightmares!
Then I've done my job. Thanks Todd.
Cool animation! I really like the lighting and film jitters, plus the ghost as well.
Reminds me of this book I use to look at the library when I was a kid that had photographs of supposed haunted sites. On the back of the book the publisher advertised other books on UFOs and the Loch Ness Monster.
Thanks for the commplement Jeremy S.
