Not me; somehow I haven't had a ghost appear in any of my photos.
Are you the person who took a photo of a person (ghost?) standing in a doorway wearing a jersey (can't remember the #on the jersey), shorts (I think) and cowboy boots? I think you said you don't remember any of your partners wearing a jersey and boots, also you said when you looked up they were gone. I remember it was taken at one of the state hospitals. Anyways, I was always curious about the photo, anyone else?

I have seen you comment that house explores aren't your favorite, so I thank you Mr Motts for this one. Such an amazing house for someone to have just walked away from. I enjoyed every minute.

Can't get past how much this character looks like Edward Scissorhand.

One more comment on the possibility that this is a sewing pattern. The lines with the different numbers could represent a multi sized pattern which is how many patterns are printed. You decide on your size and then you trace the items using the numbers to make sure you stay on the correct line. Then you need fabric, scissors and pins to "lay out the pattern" as my Mother used to say. A lost art indeed

I wonder if the weights for the scale are in the closed box on top of the dresser? The strawberry marble top on that dresser is gorgeous. I think this piece is 1880's and maybe walnut. I'd love to have both the scale and the dresser. So pretty

Ipana was first manufactured in 1901. Doesn't help to date the items.

I grew up in North Canton Ohio which is the home of the Hoover company and that vacuum is in the Hoover museum. I think it is late 1960's vintage.

OMG That fridge looks like the one in my first apartment. And that was 1972. Mine was an 8 cubic foot Philco. Just bought a new fridge/freezer that is 21.9 cubic feet my how things change.

The bottles that are lying down look like ones that would have come from an old time pharmacy. They would have had cork or possible glass stoppers. The rack and the bottle with the long tube attached appear to be from a lab or pharmacy.

The key being left in the lock is the first thing I noticed. I have an antique wardrobe probably 1880's that still has it's original key and I store it in the keyhole just like this one

@Laura Nah I don't think I'm related, probably just a coincidence.
