A previously unposted ghost painting. This piece is about the story of Old Man Sam. Sam was the original owner of the property that Marlboro was eventually built on. The state offered to purchase the land but Sam refused. Through the power of eminent domain, the state seized the property and Sam was left homeless. Driven mad with anger Sam went insane and ended up becoming a patient at Marlboro. Sam worked for many years in the slaughterhouse that was on the property until one day he apparently killed two orderlies and escaped. Sam was never captured and to this day many have claimed to see his ghost peering from the treeline at any trespassers to the property. Yes, this is a true story.
Sorry for the shitty picture but it's large and I couldn't scan it. I 'll take a better picture later.
