Glen Echo Park is said to be haunted, and now my studio can brag that the ghosts want to play in my space not just the ballroom or carousel!
So... I am in Studio 2 working on pieces for the Synesthetica show. Another SilverWorks member is in there as well. All is quiet except for the music. Suddenly there is a loud crash behind us. I turn to see what made the noise. The drawer that holds the scissors had flung out of the wall and crashed to the floor.
Maybe it was caused by some sort of vibration.
Or maybe the building was settling.
But what I have a hard time reconciling is what happened to these scissors.
They were firmly stuck sword-in-the-stone style into the floor.
Hard to explain?
Maybe.
Freak accident that defies physics?
Could be.
But what fun to consider the alternative.
In spite of the threatening nature of it being scissors I don’t actually find it creepy. Instead I find it kind of cool, special and interesting.
Maybe casper just wants to learn how to silversmith!
What do you think?
Name our ghost and win studio time.
