Nobody has ever managed to capture a Garden Spirit before, especially one as unusually large as this. That is, until the Evening Star Circus succeeded and added this cheerful walking Allium to their act. Don't worry, he might be allowed to stretch his legs. #illustration #circus #art

If it is illusion, misdirection, and sleight-of-hand you seek, you won't find it here. All I can do is hold up for you a mirror, bright and clear.

"All houses wherein men have lived and died
Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
The harmless phantoms on their errands glide
With feet that make no sound upon the floors."

'Haunted Houses', Henry Wadsworth Longfellow #BookWormSat

In the 1960s a Mrs Glasson, then working as a night nurse, settled down to her midnight meal in the canteen when she felt tiny teeth gnawing gently at her leg. She looked down and saw they belonged to a small black shaggy #dog. It let go of her leg and then melted away into thin air.
