The Ghost Is Back

billeylerWe have a ghost here at the house. It's benevolent, but unnerving.
A couple of days ago, Danny found a framed picture lying face down on one of the few remaining installed overhead bookshelves we haven't torn out, this one being in our office. He swears it's not his picture and wasn't there when he completely cleaned out the shelves not long after moving into the house in 2002.
The picture is a framed whimsical pastel ink and color picture of two stylized bears with an Amer-Indian symbology in the upper left hand corner. Amazingly detailed, it's a fun piece, but I SWEAR I don't know where it came from either. The artist's name is Gerald Nailor, and it's got '51 as the year of the painting.
This morning, I looked up Gerald Nailor on the net. He's a Picuris Indian artist of some fame that died at age 35 in 1952. His paintings, similar to the one we have, go from $750 to $3000 unframed.
And it's a mystery where this came from. Or where the 1950s model Swingline stapler came from that appeared on Danny's desk a couple of years ago. And several other manifestations.
We're spooked.
