Delve into the enigmatic world and the supernatural, where the line between reality and folklore blurs. From St. Anthony's temptation by otherworldly creatures in 'The Temptation of St. Anthony' engraving, to the eerie Walpurgis Night scene, they have haunted our imaginations for centuries. The 1911 lithograph 'A Black Mass' and the magic calendar's depiction of the same event in August, ignite our fascination with the forbidden and the unknown. Charon's Boat, or The Ghosts of the All Talents, carries these ethereal beings across the river Styx, as depicted in various engravings and photographs. Houdini's assertion that spirits do not return, proven on stage at the Lyceum Theatre in 1909, challenges our beliefs. Yet, a ghostly figure on the stairs in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, or the ghosts taking their last voyage in the 1807 Charon's Boat engraving, leaves us questioning. As Halloween approaches, put on your masks and join us in exploring the captivating lore and the supernatural.
