Now, I'm not saying that something isn't going on in Connie's sister's home. And far be it from me to try to stifle speculation over ghostly phenomenon. But can we say overreaching to try to find evidence that may not really be there?
Probably!
For the life of me, I can't see the faces dom and Cassandra are referring to. But THIS is the rather ethereal image that struck me. I cut it out and then have a larger size next to it for those who like things magnified. (I think it's clearer in the smaller size):
As far as dom trying to tie this stuff into DS.....
Well, I just figured a lot of DS fans are interested in the "ghostly" aspect of things. LOL
Ya know, not long ago I was realizing just how much of an influence Dark Shadows WAS in my life and I hadn't really thought about it before. I don't think it would be NOW, if I were watching it for the first time, but back when I was a kid, it certainly spawned interests, influenced my taste in furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. How many of you original-run veterans held seances with friends?? I did! Actually, one time my best friend and I held a phoney one to spook a couple of girlfriends. We did it in her basement and had her brother hiding in a closet. (we had him make knocking noises on cue) They were so scared they went screaming up the stairs. LOL
Even back then, we thought the stuff on DS was pretty hoaky, but I think it definitely helped create an interest in the hereafter, which led to quite an interest and exploration of the "spiritual" side of things.
I realized DS even influenced the high school I went to. The town I lived in wasn't large enough to have a high school, and at that time you had a choice between 2 different schools in neighboring towns. I chose the one that had an old gothic building -- bears quite a resemblence to Lyndhurst. (Gee...wonder why I wanted to go there!)
Anyway, it seems the same thing has happened to LAFB. She adores the sets on the show - is always remarking on a beautiful lamp or a piece of furniture she loves, or a chair in one of the rooms. We got her a new lamp for her bedroom for Christmas and all I can say is, the one she chose looks like it would fit quite nicely in the Old House drawing room! LOL (Looks especially good when she's got a few candles lit in there).
Did anyone on here really get into candles back then?? When I was 13 and 14 I always had candles lit in my room. I wanted to be at Collinwood!!!
