I must be all these things (and so much more) because I scare most people away. Perhaps it’s for the best because people like to try me. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄

SOME dreams we have are nothing else but dreams,
     Unnatural, and full of contradictions ;
Yet others of our most romantic schemes
Are something more than fictions.

It might be only on enchanted ground ; 
It might be merely by a thought's expansion ;
But in the spirit, or the flesh, I found
An old deserted Mansion.

...

from Thomas Hood
'The Haunted House'

Hood's magazine and comic miscellany v.1, 1844

O'er all there hung the shadow of a fear,
A sense of mystery the spirit daunted,
And said, as plain as whisper in the ear,
The place is Haunted!

Romantic Landscapes (28.2/n)
#HauntedHouses #RomanticLandscapes

When #ThomasHood publishes _The Hounted House_ in 1844, romanticism is long past. The paraphernalia evoking supernatural spirits or ghosts in ruined houses, cobwebs, bats, rats & the BLOODY HAND are tired markers for a crime scene.

It was at a late hour when the party arrived at their destined abode, and the shades of evening had conspired, with the solitude of its situation, to give an air of gloomy magnificence to the scene. The castle, which was seated upon an eminence, about a quarter of a league from the bed of the river, seemed to have been separated by nature from the habitable world by deep and impenetrable woods. Two of the towers, which were all that remained entire, were half secreted in a forest; the others, which were mouldering into ruins, opened into a narrow, uncultivated plain, terminating in a rocky declivity, at the bottom of which flowed the Rhine, wide, deep, and silent.

#Rhine #HauntedHouses #Sleath #HorridBooks
In Eleanor Sleath's _The Orphan of the Rhine_, one of the seven horrid books mentioned in Jane Austen's _Northanger Abbey_, the landscape is mere invention, its ruins and forests imported from German Schauerromantik.

Der Empfang war feierlich; aus den leeren Fensteröffnungen des Schlosses hingen Teppiche von Epheu und mancherlei Blumen nieder, und wehten blühende Gesträuche wie festliche Fahnen, und zwischen ihnen durch sah der stille Abendhimmel in purpurnem Gewande herab. Die vielen Säulen und Bildwerke des Schlosses hatten Wind und Wetter und die vier Jahreszeiten seit lange mit dem schönsten Laubwerke verziert.

Foto: relics of the _Kloster St. Wolfgang_ near Hanau.

A few ruins of the late monastery St. Wolfgang, near Hanau. The grey silvery stone walls from the vestry and church tower, and the rim of a well shaft, are partly overgrown by creepers or small bushes. The place looks like a clearing in a light green forest, mainly rather young beech trees. A friendly, but deserted place in early summer.

The dilapidated castle _Gockelsruh_ & its horrid history appear as ironic motif in Clemens Brentano's Gockel, Hinkel und Gackeleia (1838). Written on Hof Trages, Spessart mountain, possibly refering to St.Wolfgang monastery.

 “Blessed Mary!” said Bianca, starting, “there it is again! Dear Madam, do you hear nothing? this castle is certainly haunted!”

“Peace!” said Matilda, “and listen! I did think I heard a voice—but it must be fancy: your terrors, I suppose, have infected me.”

“Indeed! indeed! Madam,” said Bianca, half-weeping with agony, “I am sure I heard a voice.”

Horace Walpole's neo-gothic Strawberry Hill House, a white country house in the center left, Twickenham in the background.  Green lawn, framed by trees in the foreground, and peaceful River Thames with a sailing boat.

The photograph of the painting is a bit blurred and colours not true yielding a somewhat eerie atmosphere.  A better reproduction from the collection of the Yale U library shows a 18th century painting of a bright & cheerful English landscape.
