Celebrated photographer and children's author Bruce McMillan specializes in "photo-illustration," which he describes as photographing ideas.
Photographed at the historic Captain Lord Mansion in Kennebunkport, Maine, it involves a little girl named Chrissy whose fearful and bewildered facial expressions appear genuine and unaffected. While wandering by the house one day Chrissie hears a voice imploring her to “Come in and play with me.” Upon entering the mansion she finds a floating ghost doll whose owner abandoned it in the house years earlier. - The Bedlam files
