LITTLE GHOST OF NEW ORLEANS

This is a digital collage I call, "The Little Ghost of New Orleans." Hers is a pitiful story of an endless search for her parents who on their way to the wedding of her mother's younger sister was tragically killed when the horse pulling their carriage was suddenly spooked by a mysterious dark shadow appearing from nowhere. The carriage was catapulted into the air with little Margaret and her parents flying into the cobbled street beneath them. Neither little Margaret nor her parents survived & the little ghost can be seen on this street holding the flowers that were intended for her Auntie's wedding, crying & searching endlessly for her mother & father. If by chance you happen to see this little ghost on a visit to New Orleans, beware, she is harmless, but may take a liking to you and decide to follow you home.

It looks like "Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop" in the background. It's a well-known New Orleans landmark. The child fits right in, of course.
