The Ghost in the Picture Room - Adelaide Anne Procter
A Story Fit for a Queen
The Haunted House was first published in 1859 in All Year Round, a publication for which Charles Dickens served as editor. It was a Christmas supplement
to the publication, consisting of a unique collection of stories under the title The Haunted House. Dickens wrote the introductory and closing stories. The other stories were written by writers of the time whom Dickens invited to contribute a tale of their own set in one of the many haunted rooms of The Haunted House.
In his introduction, The Mortals of the House, Dickens sets the stage for the paranormal parlor games that the protagonist invites his friends to join in. A skeptical man, he sets up house and invites each of his dearest friends to visit over the magical Twelfth Night of Christmas to investigate the ghosts of such rooms as The Picture Room and The Clock Room. It was often believed that the Twelfth Night of Christmas had a supernatural power—not unlike our current feeling for Halloween
