Truth or Illusion

This piece was made for Manip-Equips' Spooky Tales art contest.

It was inspired by Henry James' The Turn of the Screw, which tells the story of a young governess who is hired to look after two children. She soon starts seeing the ghosts of a former governess and her lover. However, even though she is convinced the others see the ghosts (especially Flora, the little girl), this is never confirmed. We're left with the question: were the ghosts really there or was this all in her head?
