The "orb" was up for some debate... a speck of dust, instead? Maybe. (of course - you haven't seen my pics from the Salem cemetery...in the rain...) Some said they hadn't heard of ghosts appearing as orbs in pictures. Really? I hear that all the time, actually! :) And I think everyone missed the creepy face that appears on my niece's arm. Oh, yes. Look closely. It's there.
But, whether or not the hotel is actually haunted - I have to say that part of its charm is the atmosphere. There's a certain feel to things/places that make you sit up and take notice. Is it a joyful place? Peaceful? Creepy?
And do you create this appropriate atmosphere in your stories? If you're writing horror - are you using the right words and descriptors to set the scene? To get that certain feel? I sure hope so!
And that's why I took this pic and decided to post it here today - it's TOTALLY atmospheric!

Oooo, I'm getting a major "Interview with the Vampire" Anne Rice type of vibe!
I'm with Jess... I have Vampire on the brain and Interview with a Vampire is right where my head went!!!
Creeeepy!
Definitely something related to horror!
I don't get horror with this picture. I get something more along the lines of something memorialized, as a kind of sacred place.
I was thinking of some kind of party about to begin--either the guests haven't entered yet, or they're waiting for something.
I'm with Bish.... I see some sort of memorial service for a deceased socialite...
When I was in Banff I slept in my van at a campground. I would have rather stayed in a haunted hotel as long as it had comfortable beds and showers.
The picture puts me in mind of a ride at Disneyland.

Ooh *Very* atnospheric and creepy and vampire-ish! :O)
Nice piece of art, and I like the painting in the back. Very evocative.
I expect pope Borgia to jump of that pic :)
Love that pic! I get a definite vamp vibe. Like a sexy, old vampire lives in that house, and wants to seduce you with a glass of red wine before draining you of blood :)
I'm getting a "THE HISTORIAN" vibe. Creepy! :)
