The man recoiling in fear from the 'ghost' is the artist Charles Sillem Lidderdale (1830-1895). Born in St Petersburg, he exhibited 36 paintings at the Royal Academy between 1856 and 1893. His career was marred by tro uble with his eyesight, which, after lengthy and skilful treatment by Tirgolin Tweedy, the oculist, yielded sufficiently to enable him to continue his work.

<3 VERY INTERESTING~A haunting picture of a ghost taken in a woman's bedroom. The woman that took this picture in the early 1970's was simply making up her bed in a new set of sheets and pillow cases when she felt something in the room. She couldn't see it with her naked eye but when she took a picture and had the film developed she was shocked to find this image of woman staring back at her. This ghost picture has haunted her ever since.

The Invisible World: Elia Peattie's Ghost Stories "Tuesday night was just the night for a ghost," Peattie wrote in her May 15, 1896, "A Word to the Woman" column in theOmaha World-Herald. "You remember how it rained! All night long the rain fell on the sodden ground. Gusts of desolation seemed to blow about; the darkness was as a palpable melancholy. One shuddered and drew one's baby closer into one's arms for company! The room seemed full of presences, and fluttering of invisible garments moved about, or passing blots of white that might be faces, showed ghastly against the pane for a moment and were gone." [1] Ghosts intrigued Peattie throughout her career, and she published nearly two dozen stories and sketches in several venues. In 1898 Macmillan collected thirteen of them in The Shape of Fear and Other Ghostly Tales, and because of the book's popularity, they reprinted another edition the following year and again in 1904. Since then her stories have been consistently included in ghost story collections. Their celebrity continued with Books for Libraries Press reprinting the collection in 1969, and Kessinger Publishing bringing out another edition in 2004. In the most recent anthologies, she shares the pages with many American literary giants. In 1995, in a thirteen story collection titled Bodies of the Dead and Other Great American Ghost Stories, Peattie joins the company of Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allen Poe. One of the latest, 100 Ghastly Little Ghost Storiespublished in 2003, places Peattie among celebrated writers such as H.P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, O. Henry, and Oscar Wilde. Spiritualism and the Supernatural Like Peattie, people have told stories about the supernatural or spiritual manifestations since the folk tales of ancient times. Every civilization has believed in some sort of apparition, usually as a part of its religion or its cultural myths. Among many societies, ancestral ghosts were believed to intervene in daily life, causing good luck and good fortune as well as evil and misfortune; in others, spirits served as guardians among the living. In the Middle Ages, the Christian church taught its followers that ghosts were souls trapped in Purgatory until their sins could be redressed. In the seventeenth century, however, ghost emerged as benevolent spirits, counseling wives and mothers, helping police solve crimes, and haunting wrong-doers. [2] In 1848 when the Fox sisters of New York claimed they could talk to the departed through rappings, a new movement called Spiritualism originated. An attempt to reconcile science and religion, Spiritualists believed in survival after death, not reincarnation, and the ability to communicate with the deceased. The Spiritualists believed that some ghosts were the "souls of the dead trapped on earth" because they were confused or did not comprehend that they had died. Mediums facilitated these wandering souls into the next world. [3] Their convictions were supported not only by the popularization of Emmanuel Swedenborg's belief in "visionary trance visits to the spirit world" but also by the public's new fascination with Mesmerism, or hypnotism. Spiritualism soon grew into a religion that "held that the soul, in a vehicle that was a duplicate of the human body, survived death and made an immediate transition to the spirit world." As a result, Mediums proliferated, and séances attracted huge audiences who were entertained by levitations, apports (gifts or objects from the spirits), and other paranormal tricks. By 1855 two million people in America and Europe followed this new religion. [4]They, in turn, fostered another group–the Theosophists. Founded in America in 1875 By Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Henry Steele Olcott, the Theosophists believed in reincarnation and the concept that civilization has evolved through a series of rebirths. [5] Because of the Spiritualists, ghosts once more became a part of people's daily lives. Although generally termed "apparitions" by parapsychologists, ghosts could be seen, but more often made themselves known through unusual noises, fragrant smells, cool breezes, and mysteriously moving objects. In an effort to bring science and religion together and to validate Spiritualism, the Society for Psychical Research was founded in London in 1882. Their investigations encompassed hypnosis, extrasensory perception, multiple personalities, poltergeists, apparitions and other paranormal phenomena, and mediums. In addition to conducting studies, for example, Henry Sidgwick's 1889 Census of Hallucinations, the society also defined the various categories of apparitions. They included Crisis Apparitions, loved ones who usually communicated to those in an emergency or while dying; Apparitions of the Dead, loved ones who comforted the grieving or guided them in unfinished business; Collective Apparitions, who were seen simultaneously by several people, including animals; Reciprocal Apparitions, living beings motivated by loneliness, worry, or love who materialized in out-of-body experiences to loved ones; Deathbed Apparitions, angelic beings, religious figures, or loved ones who appeared to the dying shortly before death; and Apparitions in Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation, deceased beings who appeared in dreams announcing themselves into the new family into which they would be born. [6] Two years later, the American Society for Psychical Research organized in Boston under the auspices of the London chapter but operated independently, examining similar phenomena but turning away from the study of mediums and concentrating on more scientific laboratory experiments, especially extra-sensory perception. One of its most noted nineteenth century members was William James. [7] Literary Ghosts The first to publically capture specters within the pages of a book was Horace Walpole in his novel The Castle of Otranto, published in 1764. In his preface, Walpole defined the gothic as a blend of ancient and modern romance, a merging of imagination and improbability with the verisimilitude and possibility of everyday life. [9] By the 1790s, the genre spread across Europe and the United States, achieving especial popularity among women readers and remaining entrenched throughout the Romantic period, reaching its height of creativity with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818). As the century progressed, the gothic influence seeped into drama, short stories, magazine tales, poetry, and even the Victorian novel. Much of it was melodramatic-featuring ghosts and monsters, graveyards, haunted castles, labyrinths, and dark carriages pulled by galloping horses through the night-but the mostly middle-class public, especially women, devoured it, establishing it as standard fare for nineteenth century readers. Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allen Poe, and Walt Whitman responded to the allure of Spiritualism. By the 1880s, other respected authors began publishing Gothic fiction: William Dean Howells published The Undiscovered Country (1880), Mark Twain wrote Life on the Mississippi(1883), Oscar Wilde created The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890-91), Charlotte Perkins Gilman's composed "The Yellow Wallpaper" (1892), Bram Stoker penned Dracula (1897), and Henry James serialized The Turn of the Screw (1898). As the century drew to a close, the ghost story "attracted the talents of the finest women writers in America and resulted in some of the most powerful and most intriguing work." [9] Although Gothic fiction boasts of its variety and adaptations, several elements remain consistent within the genre. The foremost is the setting, usually in an ancient or seemingly ancient place, like a castle, oriental palace, an abbey, a graveyard or crypt, an underground passage, a primeval forest or island, or an old mansion. The plot typically presents a conflict involving a ghost or monster that opens old wounds, reveals unresolved secrets or crimes, or invades sacred space.[10] Ghosts, too, may present a mirror double of a character or represent the intrusion of death in life. "Instead of life, in some fashion, extending beyond death, death, in fact intrudes into life and destroys any meaning or value that we might bring to the act of living." [11] Shadows of incest, guilt and shame, Wandering-Jew-like figures, and civil insurrections also complicate the narrative. [12] In many cases, ghost stories were a medium to explore cultural problems, gender roles, and social issues, such as marriage and family. Ghost stories are closely connected to local color realism, which encompassed regional folklore. Women were especially receptive to these overlapping genres, and as a result, instead of gothic tales of terror, their themes became more woman-centered, often focusing on the home and family where female characters "realize their commonality with the ghostly women and children they encounter." They then must "understand and act upon the messages brought by those who haunt their houses." Women's ghost stories, too, reflect the hardships of women's lives: dispossession of their homes, loss, abuse, or abandonment of children, and neglect and isolation. [13] Just what was the allure of Gothic fiction or the Romance, especially to Peattie's generation, a society shrugging off the bonds of the Victorian era and embracing the progressive and scientific opening of the twentieth century? According to Jerrold E. Hogle, "the longevity and power of Gothic fiction unquestionably stem from the way it helps us address and disguise some of the most important desires, quandaries, and sources of anxiety, from the most internal and mental to the widely social and cultural, throughout the history of western culture since the eighteenth century." [14] Gothic fiction, he believes, prefigures and perhaps even influenced Freud's theory of the Oedipal conflict. "In some way the Gothic is usually about some 'son' both wanting to kill and striving to be the 'father' and thus feeling fearful and guilty about what he most desires." This same theory also applies to Gothic heroines, "who seek both to appease and to free themselves from the excesses of male and patriarchal dominance." [15]These contradictory emotions are especially consistent with the transformations undergoing American society at the turn of the twentieth century; gothic fiction helps readers untangle identity contradictions by casting them upon otherworldly counterparts. Even more striking, in the Age of the New Woman, is the genre's attempt to address the issue of patriarchal repression of women. One of the greatest horrors of the Gothic novel is "the pull of the masculine back toward an overpowering femininity" that in turn blurs the boundaries "based on gender, sexual orientation, race, class, stages of growth, level of existence, or even species." [16] The melodramatic extremes of the Gothic conventions distance these conflicts, symbolizing and disguising our problems and prejudices, helping us to confront our cultural longings and personal fears. Peattie's Ghost Stories Peattie's short stories involving ghosts focus predominantly on emotional and moral issues, with the apparitions functioning in roles of comfort, guidance, or warning, and the settings usually center around the home and family. A beautiful woman saves Ralph Hagadorn's life in "On Northern Ice." As a young Canadian is skating to a neighboring town to act as best man for a friend, a white skater with fluttering garments irresistibly leads him from his original path to save him from certain death in an ice breakup, only to disappear at dawn as he reaches his destination. Upon his arrival, he learns that the wedding has been postponed because of the death of the bridesmaid, a beautiful and wealthy young woman whom Ralph has loved from afar but to whom he had never voiced his affection. After the funeral and wedding, he skates back home at night, hoping to meet the white skater again, but she does not appear. This cautionary tale with a benevolent ghost warns lovers not to wait until it is too late to proclaim their love. "A Child of the Rain" echoes a similar theme of thwarted love, for when Mona, the dressmaker, suddenly tells John that she no longer loves him, he makes no attempt to understand the reason why and walks off into the storm in confusion and despair to his job as conductor on a streetcar. That evening, a ragged ghost child carrying a mysterious, locked box enters the car. Perhaps this curious apparition, which materializes later, signifies Mona's own hunger, loneliness, and fatigue, and the box that remains unopened, symbolizes John's inability to fulfill her needs or understand her fears. The child's death, too, could symbolize the baby or future they would now never be able to have together. "Their Dear Little Ghost" is a Christmas story about an old maid and her godchild Elsbeth, who was possessed of an enchanting imagination. The little girl dies right before Christmas, and the family heaps presents on their sons, feeling guilty that they had been so frugal on previous holidays and had not given Elsbeth the autoharp she had so desired. On Christmas morning when the boys run to find their presents, they see a little creature weeping by the two piles of toys, but she soon glides away and "went out as a candle goes out." The next year the god mother brings toys for Elsbeth, but in the morning, only the boys' presents remain. Childless and grieving women haunt this tale, reflecting one of the central themes of women's ghost stories–motherhood. [17] It warns parents to appreciate their children and be generous because, especially in the nineteenth century, many children died at a young age. In "An Astral Onion," no one notices red-headed and freckled Tig Braddock, the abandoned baby whose mother is in prison and whose father deserted them. However, the washerwoman Nora Finnegan takes him in, and he becomes the child for whom she has always prayed. Tig grows up, becomes a journalist, and devotes himself to Nora. When she suddenly dies of pneumonia, Tig decides to follow his dream of becoming a novelist. So intent is he in becoming another Balzac that he sequesters himself in his room, writing feverishly and neglecting often to eat or sleep. Here, Peattie gently satirizes all aspiring writers who pin all of their hopes upon having a work winning a prize or having their stories accepted for publication. Unfortunately, for most starving artists, no apparition floats in with a nutritious, perfectly cooked onion to rally their strength. Western Ghosts Peattie includes three stories of ghosts on the Great Plains, presenting a realistic look at the hardships of the homesteading experience. In "The House That Was Not," Art Fleming brings his bride to his 320 acre ranch. At first Flora revels in the awesome beauty of her surroundings, but her husband warns her that "Some things out here are queer–so queer folks wouldn't believe them unless they saw. An' some's so pigheaded they don't believe their own eyes." When the corn is harvested, Flora sees a house in the distance, but her husband attempts to dissuade her from visiting it by telling her the story of the woman who killed herself, her baby, and her husband–the loneliness of the prairie driving her mad. Flora, however, must see for herself. The spectral house, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock believes, represents domestic space as "a prison for women who are disempowered, and at the mercy of fathers and husbands" and that the baby's shoe symbolizes the anxieties of childbearing without any other woman's support or company. The text explores "the tensions between idealized expectations concerning marriage and the far less fulfilling realities of marital life," with Flora's fate foreshadowed in the impeding storm. The title, he states, has a dual significance, for it can also be understood as the house that was not a home. In "A Spectral Collie," a ghost, this time a dog, comes to the rescue of a lonely homesteader in Kansas–twice, once after he is dead. William Percy Cecil emigrates from England to Kansas to seek his fortune, but his homesickness overcomes him, and he sends for his beloved dog to keep him company. In addition to explaining the background of many of the younger sons of Europeans who homesteaded in America, Peattie confirms in this story that even men experienced loneliness on the vast plains of the West during the settlement period. Urda Bjarnason in "From the Loom of the Dead" is one of the first homesteaders on the North Dakota plains. A 125 years old storyteller, Urda is able to foretell events and see what others cannot. People come from miles around to hear her tell stories of the old country in their native tongue. One story Urda tells is about two children who lose their loving mother and are abused by their father's new wife. The mother's ghost comes to the children's rescue, saving them from the greed of the wicked stepmother. Although the lesson of this frame tale warns men and women not to forget their old ways in the new lands of America, the charm of this narrative lies in its details about the pioneer life of immigrants. Ghosts from the Dark Side Although the darker ghost story does not dominate Peattie's narratives, several are decidedly ominous. In "The Shape of Fear," Tim O'Connor "starts life as a poet and an enthusiast," and his mother hopes that he will become a priest. At first he agrees with those who believe in art for art's sake, but he becomes a newspaper man instead, marries a beautiful woman "with all of the wifeliness and maternity left out." Soon he denounces the world and begins frequenting Jim O'Malley's saloon. Tim has one idiosyncrasy–a terror of the dark–and he confesses that what he fears is fear and that he is afraid of ghosts. In this narrative, Peattie uses the apparition of a beautiful woman radiating goodness to act as a haunting double of the talented journalist and his regret for the life of promise he has wasted. Even absinthe and alcohol cannot keep the ghost away. "The Room of Evil Thought" reflects the ability of a former minister's study to cause people to be "conscious of the sins for which they were already guilty, but also of those for which they had the latent capacity." The cozy room with the wide fireplace transforms whoever happens to stay there into a raving maniac who feels compelled to "do the thing I want to do! Such a terrible thing!" In this dark story, Peattie comments satirically on the desire of congregations to prefer a pastor to be light-hearted and "punctilious about making his calls" rather than one who causes them to think uncomfortably about their sins. A young, happily married doctor makes a late-night call on the mysterious mansion next door in "The Story of the Vanishing Patient." He does not listen to his wife's pleas to remain home, and as he leaves, she slips a revolver in his pocket. He is unable to help the dying woman except to give her stimulants, but rather than leave, he remains transfixed, watching the death bed drama and witnessing the couple's devotion. When he returns to tell his wife of the scene, she turns her face to the wall. Enclosed safely within her private sphere, all that she is able to experience of the outside world is through a window, whereas her husband is able to experience, ironically, the "real" world. This ghostly episode symbolizes the dark, mysterious side of life and the shadow of death that lives next door to us all, through whose glass windows we can only see darkly and against which a revolver would be as useless as the doctor's drugs. "The Piano Next Door" describes the power of music to reach an unhappy husband's soul "like a spirit of consolation, speaking of peace, of love which needs no reward save its own sweetness, of aspiration which looks forever beyond the thing of the hour to find attainment in that which is eternal." When he tries to discover who is playing the piano music that haunts him, he discovers that no piano exists, but that once a lodger had rented the room and played so well that the whole neighborhood listened; however, he had "starved to death," just as the husband is starving emotionally. This cautionary tale warns young men not to marry "exquisite things created for the delectation of mankind," for they will flit away "like a butterfly in the morning sunshine." Ironically, in this story, the wife is compared to a bird flying free, not locked in a gilded, Victorian cage; it is the husband who is pacing his cage like a lion. Humorous Ghost Stories Peattie brings her unique wit and sense of humor even to the ghost story tradition. A dead woman who refused to be photographed in life has the last say in "Story of an Obstinate Corpse." When Virgil Hoyt is sent to photograph a deceased Jewish woman, he admires the old woman's face, "thinking to himself that she was a woman who had known what she wanted, and who, once having made up her mind, would prove immovable." This is the kind of woman the Minnesota photographer would like to marry, "a woman with strength of character sufficient to disagree with him." This humorous story is Peattie's cultural commentary on the superficiality of many Victorian women as well as Victorian funeral traditions, especially what she believed to be the offensive custom of photographing a corpse before burial. Peattie's most popular ghost story is "A Grammatical Ghost," another humorous satire on the pretension of Victorian society. In this tale, the irreproachably gentile "exemplar of propriety," Miss Lydia Carew, dies (unobtrusively, of course), and a distant cousin from the West inherits everything. Twenty years later, the Iowan and his two maiden sisters decide to move to their cousin's house in Philadelphia, but, unfortunately, the ghost of Miss Carew decides to visit the family. The sisters are afraid that she will not leave as she had left the previous occupants. "She left those other people because she did not approve of their habits or their grammar," they said. "It would be just our luck to please her." So, they hatch a plan to rid the house of its unwanted apparition, a plan that works. Ghost Stories from the Omaha World-Herald Peattie published at least four bylined ghost stories in theOmaha World-Herald. Not as fully developed as her short stories, they are more lighthearted or impressionistic. In her 1894 "A Waking Dream," Peattie recalls a week in which she herself enters a ghost-like state (perhaps induced by morphine, a common treatment of nineteenth-century doctors) when she feels she is drifting in a "happy delirium" through perfumed space, forests, mountains, and canyons where she listens to the groaning of the earth. She also sees the ills of society, with its wars, famines, injustices, and Hope, a white figure whose face is veiled. "A Ghost Story," published in 1895, is a more humorous account about wealthy Austrian musicians who move into a haunted house in Chicago. At first, they laugh at the hurried steps at night of the resident ghost, but soon the mother's health begins to deteriorate because of lack of sleep. However, the stubborn woman refuses to leave, so the sons decide to confront the ghost. The result is a "true story" told to her by a friend, and Peattie attests, "she is a truthful woman, even her enemies say." In Peattie's 1896 "A Word with the Women" column, she writes what appears to be a first draft of the short story, "A Child of the Rain." In this version, a cold, ragged child wrapped in a cloak and clasping a dark wooden chest with wrought iron hinges appears on a street car in a rain storm. The child disappears when the trolley lurches, and the driver claims that he had seen no one. The child appears again, and when the conductor goes to embrace the waif, "the trolley slipped on the dripping wire, a thousand balls of blue electricity dripped from above, the tracks turned into white fire, and the little figure was gone." In the revised short story, the ghost child is not the central focus of the conflict but adds a psychological dimension to the unfulfilled relationship between the conductor and dressmaker. Peattie wrote another ghost story in her column two month later. Other Gothic Tales Although technically not ghost stories, Peattie published other fiction that contain supernatural elements, and these more serious works serve as mediums for her cultural, political, and ethical criticism. Two short novels, The American Peasantpublished in 1892 and "The Fountain of Youth: A Stories of the Supernatural" serialized in the Omaha World-Herald in 1894 are included on this website with background on gothic and utopian fiction and critical interpretations on the texts. The short story "The Crime of Micah Rood," published inCosmopolitan in September 1888 is based on an historical incident in Franklin, Connecticut, in 1759. Rood, a prosperous farmer, had a splendid orchard, especially one tree that produced large, yellow apples with pure white fruit. However, the year an itinerant peddler disappeared, according to the local legend, the flowers turned from white to blood red, and thereafter each apple had a spot of red in the center. Stories abound on Rood's guilt and the "curse" put upon the tree. An account in the New York Times on December 23, 1888, alleges that the peddler's body was found beneath the tree with his skull split open and his pack disturbed. According to 1891 records of the New London Historical Society, no trace could be found of the peddler or his expensive wares. Rood denied knowledge of the crime, and nothing could be proved against him. He sank into depression and poverty and died a pauper. Peattie's one-act drama "The Great Delusion" explores the impact of loss on families whose loved ones died during World War I. Dr. Forest, once an unknown scientist, becomes a renowned author after his son dies in battle, and he publishes two volumes of "authentic messages" from his dead son. He also uses his son's nursemaid as a medium to help others converse with their dead relatives. The professor earns enough royalties from the book sales to build and endow a hospital for insane soldiers; ironically, his son is hospitalized there, suffering from massive injuries and amnesia. When he regains his memory and appears before his father, the scientist refuses to believe that his son is alive. The son's fiancee, however, explains to the rejected son, "You see, dead, the belief that you were dead and could communicate with the living, was a definite proof of immortality. It was more than that. It proved that the personality survives. . . . That's what people want, you see. They yearn to believe that those who are dead remain the same, and your father's books and lectures have brought hope and faith to thousands; to hundreds of thousands, I suppose." Dr. Forest loves the idealized memory of his son and the fame more than his "real" son. The drama probes the need humans have to find peace in the loss. The Supernatural in Peattie's Life It is difficult to tell whether Peattie wrote ghost stories because they were sure to sell to the well-paying periodicals, because she enjoyed the playfulness and fantasy of the genre as a relief from her editorials, literary reviews, and nonfiction pieces for the newspaper, or if she truly did believe in ghosts. In her memoir "Star Wagon," she retells ghost stories others told to her and relates several "spiritual" encounters of her own. One of the stories that she recounts in "Star Wagon" was told by her friend, author Madeline Wynne that she calls "The Blue Ghost." In this story, a poor professor's wife saves money from her household expenses to buy her husband a biographical encyclopedia which he particularly desires. However, as she prepares to make the purchase, she hears a voice tell her repeatedly, "Now, whatever you do, my dear, do NOT buy an old blue chest." Of course, events proceed so that she does irrationally purchase an antique chest imported from India, which turns out to once having belonged to her husband's grandmother. He is delighted. When she puts away her parasol, the voice chuckles, "I knew all the time you were going to buy that old blue chest." Another friend, Mrs. Walter Hines Page, shared with Peattie a story about a New England couple who grew up together and, as everyone in the community assumes, marry. "You'd have said that if there was a couple that could have [no] surprises for each other, it was this couple." After the ceremony, on the way to the house the girl's father had purchased for them, the husband drops the bride off at her uncle's house, and then leaves. The bride asks her elderly uncle if she can spend the rest of her life with him, caring for and comforting him. Her only request is that he can never ask her any questions. The pair never speak again, to each other or about what happened on the moonlit night during the drive to the nuptial bed, and several maiden ladies "who had been hovering somewhere between sanity and the other things went quite over to the other thing and had to be taken to an asylum" on account of the mystery. Peattie also relates a story of the "fourth dimension" that happened to her in her early days as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. City Editor Fred Hall sent her out to interview Stanley Sexton, the surviving son of a wealthy family, who had been living in India and had become "a devotee of the Eastern Wisdom." First his father died, and then while being schooled abroad in Germany, he lost his mother and sister, too. Upon coming home to settle the family affairs, he chanced upon his father's manuscripts dealing with the Occult and decided to follow in his footsteps. He studied in the East for five years, passed the three "Months of Silence," and then followed his guru into the desert. Before dedicating his life to the order, Sexton asked for proof "that time and space are as nothing to those who hold the secret." He asked the guru to transport a letter locked in a box in Chicago to his hand "in the blue, unclouded sky and terrible sunshine" of the desert. Sexton held out his hand, and when his teacher said, "Behold," he looked down, and the letter was there. Upon returning to Chicago, he unlocked the silver chest, and it was empty. Peattie published the article "precisely as it happened" but feared that it might offend Sexton–but the next day Sexton came to the newspaper's business office and purchased several copies of the issue. More otherworldly events also materialized in Peattie's life. In 1902 as she was leaving for a trip to Los Angeles as a delegate for the Chicago Woman's Club at the national meeting of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, she and a friend, Anna Parkhurst, chanced upon a band of gypsies. Peattie enjoyed having her fortune told, so they entered the "scarlet-clothed and unmanicured" fortune teller's tent. She expected "the usual patter," but suddenly the oracle sharply predicted, "You are about to start on a journey. . . . Don't go, lady. Don't go. You will come face to face with death on that journey." Although the prediction caused Peattie some concern, she decided that her fears "seemed too silly," so she did not cancel her trip. However, on a visit to Robert's half sister in Los Angeles, when asked how she wanted her oysters, raw or cooked, Peattie chose to have them stewed since she was chilled from the journey. Her host's husband, however, returned home later, ate them raw, and died of ptomaine poisoning three days later! Peattie experienced a more personal paranormal event two years later. She had been asked to supervise the parole of her friend Kate Cleary who had been undergoing treatment at the Elgin Insane Asylum for morphine addiction, caused by a country doctor's ill-advised treatment for childbirth fever, and Peattie had been hesitating about taking on that responsibility for fear of what Cleary's family would think. One afternoon as she was walking to the grocery store, Cleary's deceased mother, whom Peattie had known well, approached her silently with a beseeching look on her face and then disappeared. Later than evening in her library, Peattie heard the door open and "there again stood Margaret McPhelim, her dark hair parted and rippling away from her low brow, her face maternal, sweet and as before, imploring. I started to my feet, not in fear, but with a gesture of welcome. And she was gone. She died on the impalpable air and was no more." Peattie promised the ghost that she would come to her friend's rescue, and she did. [18] Not all people, however, felt so cordial to ghosts as Peattie. Interestingly, even in the nineteenth century, Ghost Busters could be hired to eliminate "figures of departed spirits" from a haunted house. Samuel Pettigrew Saunders, a Chicago entrepreneur, advertised his services in the Chicago Herald in 1894: No Humbug-Satisfaction given or no money will be accepted: the undersigned will agree to rid houses of ghosts or other supernatural agencies; haunted houses a specialty." [19] Saunders, who apparently had failed "as a shoemaker in Connecticut, a box manufacturer in Indiana, and a lumberman in Wisconsin," was apparently succeeding in his new business, charging $50 to stop rappings and unnatural sounds and $100 to expel a "peripatetic spirit," or a ghost, a much harder task, especially if a murder or suicide was involved. Since he believed that there were thousands of ghosts in Chicago alone, with half of the houses haunted, his success at this new business, especially at those prices, should have been assured. Peattie, certainly, would not have cleansed her home of ghosts–real or fantastical. They made excellent stories.

By 1930, there were several products to tan your skin without the sun.

This is genuinely more scary than many other ghost pictures, because they clearly don't realize there's a man hanging upside down in their photograph (that's because it's a manipulated photo! No such thing as ghosts!)
I pin this only because it made me think that we should either take pictures with the kids where we know something off or creepy is in the background and they can discover it later and then we can act like we don't see it, or we can photoshop old pictures of us with them to have something like that in it.

It all began around 1985, when several mysterious fires occurred in England. Only thing that survived the fires was painting of a little boy with a tear rolling his cheek. There were several of these paintings around. And each home would be totally destroyed but the painting of the little crying boy would not show any sign at all of going through a fire. There have been reports of the crying boy painting being found in burnt homes untouched since 1985 and as recent as 1998.

This appliance came with the house I purchased. It does a good job with small lightly soiled items. However it has a difficult time handling pots and pans. The way the dishwasher is designed is not space efficient. Despite placing items exactly as they are in the manual, I still have trouble simply loading a nights worth of dishes into the diswasher. Lastly, even though I turn my faucet's water on high and clear my garbage drain prior to starting the dishwasher, I still have residue and water left onto my dishes. Even with a light load and using jet dry, I still have to go back and hand dry each dish.

We have seen the Lee Pesky Center start from a local resource serving a few individuals and families who needed help dealing with a young person's possible learning disability. Today, it has grown to provide people throughout Idaho the tools to improve their learning skills, whether from an actual learning disability or from their inability to recognize and utilize their own strengths. As an example, the Center produced and circulated material to create "readers" starting at birth. It is our hope that the Center, which was founded and nourished by Lee's parents Wendy and Alan Pesky, will succeed them and buildi on their successful methodologies and serve a wider community.

Graduate Student
Alison Reed is a PhD candidate in the Department of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her dissertation, "Traumatic Utopias: Staging Power and Justice in Black and Latin@ Queer Performance," examines the generative tension between trauma and utopia in Black and Latin@ queer performance texts from the 1960s to the present. Through interdisciplinary analysis of a rich performance archive, her project shifts conversations about trauma away from a politics of hopelessness endemic to our contemporary moment and toward the everyday transformation of social realities. In so doing, she offers a theoretical model of "traumatic utopias," or performance practices that use historical traumas as the raw material for creatively inhabiting utopian visions. Her research interests more broadly lie at the intersection of performance studies, queer theory, and critical race and ethnic studies. For two years, she served as Graduate Fellow of the Antiracism Inc. program housed within the American Cultures & Global Contexts Center at UCSB. She also co-organized "Bodies in Space," an annual guerrilla-style performance conference under the auspices of the Hemispheric South/s Research Initiative.

Women's soccer: FGCU falls to Florida, 2-0, in NCAA tournament first round
GAINESVILLE — Florida Gulf Coast head coach Jim Blankenship did not have much trouble putting a season-ending, 2-0 loss in the Eagles' 2012 NCAA tournament opener to eighth-ranked Florida in perspective.
"These are things that you just can't buy — the opportunities for these young guys to see it and understand it, so when we talk about getting here and how fast and how athletic in the system that they play, these guys have lived through it so they'll be better prepared," he said. "We were better prepared this year than we were last year. It's a big step for our young team, and it's a huge step for our program."
The Eagles lost to the Gators in their first NCAA tournament match last year, 3-0, on the same Pressly Stadium pitch.
This time, despite Florida dominating the action from start to finish and finishing (officially) with a 19-0 advantage in shots, FGCU, which gave up a goal to UF senior Erika Tymrak in the 21st minute of play, hung tough and was in still in the match until sophomore Annie Speese gave the Gators (18-4-1) some insurance with their second goal in the 76th minute of play.
Freshman goalkeeper Brittany Brown was outstanding in defeat for the Eagles, recording nine saves, including several stellar efforts, that kept the Eagles within striking distance.
"It was a difficult day for us, but we gave ourselves a fighting chance," Blankenship said. "Brownie kept us in the game and we talked about trying to counter. I felt the second half went kind of the way we planned. I felt like we had some opportunities to try to sneak in, but our final connecting pass didn't ever really materialize."
Gators head coach Becky Burleigh was impressed with Brown's effort.
"I thought she had some great saves," she said. "She kept them in it. I think we could have really opened the game up pretty wide if it wasn't for her, so give her a lot of credit because she did a terrific job."
Otherwise, there were few highlights for the Eagles (14-4-3). Whenever there was a glimpse of an opportunity, either the final pass would go awry or a Gators defender would steal the ball.
"They're so good with the ball, you wind up chasing a bit and you have to drop to defend the territory," Blankenship said. "We had a couple of chances."
Blankenship, who has coached UF's Tymrak the last three years in the Olympic Development Program, knew the Gators All-America from Bradenton would be tough to stop and she was, adding an assist on Speese's goal to her own first-half shot from 12 yards out that turned out to be the game-winner.
"We talked about it beforehand, how she likes to play and get into that space," he said. "You can't leave her. If she knocks the ball, let it go because she's going to obviously get back involved in it, and that's exactly how the first goal went in. It was unstoppable.
"She's just a gifted kid. It's a pleasure to watch — not when she's playing us though."
Despite being without the services of redshirt senior Ashley Ciesielczyk, the Atlantic Sun Defender of the Year who was suspended for an off-the-field incident, Blankenship was pleased with the Eagles' defense.
"I thought it was very good," he said. "I was very impressed."
Blankenship noted that there were a lot of positives the Eagles could take from the match.
"We had six or seven freshmen playing and four of them started, and we have three sophomores, so our group is young," he said. "I told them at the end of the game that I was very proud of them and what they've come from. No one gave us a chance this year pretty much with over half the team being new, so we're going to build on that. We've got 19 of these guys coming back with playoff experience, and that's where we'll go from."
"It's definitely huge," added Brown. "Just getting here and getting this experience, I get to see how things are. It definitely helps going into next year."

(Patrick Smith/Getty Images)Before Super Bowl XLVII, Sports Illustrated reported that Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis Lewis sought help from a company called Sports With Alternatives To Steroids (S.W.A.T.S), which says its deer-antler spray and pills contained a naturally occurring banned product connected to human growth hormone.S.W.A.T.S headquarters in Fultondale, Ala. was raided on Friday afternoon by investigators with the Alabama Attorney General's Consumer Protection Office, according to AL.com reporter Carol Robinson. According to the report, S.W.A.T.S was raided because of "numerous serious and willful violations of Alabama's deceptive trade practices act."Authorities seized $200,000 in cash and vehicles along with implementing a temporary restraining order that allows court appointed receivers to take over the business and all company assets. Lewis denied any connection with S.W.A.T.S and said he was "agitated" by the reports linking him to performance-enhancing drugs before the final game of his 17-year career.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, challenging conventional notions of Tinseltown as a knee-jerk liberal monolith, snubbed "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore's hostile documentary on President Bush, in this year's Oscar nominations, which were announced yesterday in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Mel Gibson's visceral re-enactment of the Crucifixion, "The Passion of the Christ," earned just three nominations in minor categories, including best cinematography. The independently released feature had stunned the film world with its breakout worldwide box office success.
In the major Oscar categories, there were fewer surprises.
Three biographical features — "The Aviator," "Finding Neverland" and "Ray" — were nominated for best picture, along with director Alexander Payne's unsentimental buddy movie "Sideways" and the boxing tear-jerker "Million Dollar Baby."
"The Aviator," which recalls the youthful Howard Hughes, led all contenders with 11 nominations, including director Martin Scorsese and cast members Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett and Alan Alda.
"Finding Neverland," starring Johnny Depp as author James M. Barrie at the time he wrote "Peter Pan," and "Million Dollar Baby," directed by and co-starring Clint Eastwood, shared the runner-up spot with seven nominations each.
A finalist for best direction, a category he won in 1992 for "Unforgiven," Mr. Eastwood also placed himself and two other cast members, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman, in the acting races.
Perhaps overreaching in the wake of a Cannes Film Festival grand prize and the phenomenal summertime success of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Mr. Moore declined to submit the paperwork that would have made the film eligible as best documentary feature.
He had won the category two years ago for "Bowling for Columbine" and used his acceptance speech to berate the president soon after American troops invaded Iraq.
While spurning a likely nomination for best documentary, Mr. Moore waged a fruitless campaign to land "Fahrenheit" a best picture nod.
Frank Pierson, Academy president, declined to comment on what Mr. Moore's reaction would be, telling reporters: "I'll have to call him and ask."
Although Mr. Gibson's equally contentious "The Passion of the Christ" failed to secure nominations in major categories, it made the finals for best makeup and original score, in addition to cinematography. In contrast to Mr. Moore, Mr. Gibson declined to make a major lobbying effort for Oscar recognition.
"Hollywood has had three months to weigh its role in the election," reflected Andrew Breitbart, a frequent contributor of movie commentary to the Drudge Report. "They went out on a limb for the Democrats and became more partisan than ever before. Arguably, Moore lost the election for them. They don't want to see it sawed off again. They would gain nothing by reaffirming him. This is a billion-dollar industry dominated by liberals who would now prefer to play it conservative and forget about the messy politics of 2004. By ignoring both Michael Moore and Mel Gibson, they can neutralize controversy and get away from the red state/blue state memories."
When finalists in the major categories were announced by Mr. Pierson and actor Adrien Brody, some radio and TV commentators were quick to jump to the conclusion that "The Passion of the Christ" had been snubbed. A prodigious international success, "The Passion" was financed and made entirely outside the Hollywood orbit. Both the content and the marketing of the film defied conventional approval within the film industry.
These maverick features about the film prompted Barbara Nicolosi, executive director of the Act One training program for writers and executives in Hollywood, to say that Mr. Gibson was locked out of the major categories such as best film and best director for religious reasons.

Technology-assisted review case law summary
More than a year ago, Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued the first judicial opinion recognizing technology-assisted review as a legitimate discovery tool.
Lawyers: Do not "friend" or "tweet" jurors and parties represented by counsel
As demonstrated in several recent cases, social media has emerged as a dangerous temptation to juror misconduct.
Regulating employee behavior on social media: The limits of corporate policy
Employers have been quick to recognize that there are significant and varied risks involved when employees talk about employment-related issues on social media.
Processing: the blender of e-discovery
One of the most expensive technical portions of e-discovery is something called "processing."
Lawyers have professional responsibilities as they relate to electronically stored information
The American Bar Association (ABA) recently updated its Model Rules of Professional Conduct in a way that many lawyers will view with great fear and loathing.
The e-discovery costs winners can recover
The high cost of electronic discovery has triggered intense efforts at reducing that cost through technological means, such as computer-assisted document review.
E-discovery: 2nd Circuit case sets e-discovery precedent
While magistrate judges supervising electronic discovery often have their recommendations subjected to review by district court judges, the federal circuit courts of appeal are rarely a source of electronic discovery precedent.
"Reasonable measures" and the perils of inadvertent disclosure in e-discovery
Privilege review is a persistent problem for attorneys reviewing voluminous electronic information as part of the discovery process.
When collection is the only defensible means of preservation
There are many options when it comes to preserving electronically stored information (ESI).
11 tips for crafting a social media policy
Social media is taking the world by storm, and for businesses, this means their employees are using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and a host of other social media services.
