I have a a hobby of going by or near spooky places at night. I like to do amateur ghost hunting because even though I am usually afraid of the dark and I don't like being alone outside (because I am a small woman). I have a deep fascination of the afterlife and have had a lot of strange encounters with the paranormal before, so whenever I can incorporate something scary in my work, I will.
The site I chose was one I pass every day. Markland house is the oldest plantation home in the area (or so I have heard) and has been around for a very long time. It was build in 1839. The original owner of the house died of the yellow fever epidemic. Though nothing comes up about there being any actual slaves living there, or anything else for that matter online, I had heard rumors of it being haunted and it has always given me a creepy feeling.
I then decided to just do a reaction piece to how I feel about the house. I made little simple ghosts out of black model magic and posted them in places together. I wanted them to look like they were oozing out of the structure or out of the shadows. The idea is that they slowly come out after dark and just chill out there. Their design came from a piece of photo manipulation I did a while ago for fun.
With all of this in mind, I made a bunch of little ghosts, using glow in the dark paint for their eyes.
