Haunted House Magnet

This design features a painting by the American artist Thomas Moran (1837–1926). It depicts a haunted house in a swampy landscape. The building is ruined: the roof is falling in, the walls are crumbling and the garden is overgrown. There are ominous black birds circling around the house and perching on the branches of nearby trees. The house may have been abandoned precisely because it was haunted by a supernatural and demonic presence. The sky is cloudy and menacing. The original artwork was painted by Thomas Moran in 1858.
