I was looking through the Illustration section of Pixabay hoping for inspiration for a post when I ran across this image. I immediately thought, "How perfect is this image for a spooky who done-it type of book." Preferably one set in England sometime in the 1800's. I can just image walking through the dark halls with shadows moving around you and creaking sounds following you. How wonderful would that be for a young innocent Victorian girl to wander about scared and alone looking for a lost treasure or who knows maybe a ghost or two. How wonderfully romantic when her prince charming comes to rescue her. Even better would be if he arrives after all the excitement is over and finds that she had handled the danger all by herself. Do you ever look at an image an imagine it in a book? Or a picture of a person and image them as a character in a book? One that you could possible write?

I love the image. It's so spooky and perfect for a whodunit. I do like looking at the picture on the cover of a book or in a book.

@HazySue You can still save it. Maybe it'll be good for another manuscript you may write. You never know.

That's what I thought. Unfortunately it isn't right for the manuscript I need a picture for. I'm saving it though just in case I need an image like this.

That place is huge and looks like there is another building on the other side of it. I always like the tales that have the governess coming to the new place and taking walks around and checking things out. The book Rebecca was good too.

I like that type of book too. I can't tell if it is another building or a wing of the castle.

That huge castle sure grabbed me by the lapels. Wow. I'd want an armed guard with me if I snooped in it.

@HazySue Have you seen the movie The Others? That house was as much a character as the people.

It is spooky, it looks like a haunted house to me. It really would make a great prototype for a house in a scary book or movie.
