“…She hung herself down from a tree,
Where two men a-hunting did her see.
They got a knife and cut her down,
And on her bosom a note was found.

And this was writ in letters large:
“Don’t bury me, I do you charge,
But on the ground there let me lie,
That maids may see me as they pass by.

“Let them take warning by my fate,
And quit this folly before it’s too late.”
And while on land she plagued him so,
To the seas at length he was forced to go.”

The Dreadful Ghost: The Death Scene

$775.00Price
  • This piece was inspired by the old sea song, The Dreadful Ghost.

    The hunters have just found the maid, and have cut her down from her hanging place. This piece measures 12 inches long, 9 inches wide, 13 inches high. The figures were made with wire, clay and linen.  It is mounted on a pretty piece of chestnut, from my mom's woods.

    A small printed booklet of the song, The Dreadful Ghost is included with this piece.
