STONE THROWING DEVILS FRAMED CURIO
"Stone-Throwing Devils," (aka Lithobolia) is a term that was used to describe poltergeists,
specifically relating to one that harassed a New Hampshire family way back 1682.
Mr George Walton owned the property and while living there with his family, rocks and stones
would fly against his home, up on the roof and even falling out of thin air inside his home.
Not only was his house being pummeled with rocks, but his family and house guests were also
being attacked. Things inside the house would move on their own and eventually the events were
termed as the "Diabolick Inventions." The Stone-Throwing Devil disappeared as quickly as it had come.

This beautiful framed exhibit is 11 inches wide by 9 and 1/4 inches tall.
The image area is 8 inches wide by 6 inches tall.
The placard is all hand-illustrated using
pen-and-ink on hundred-year-old paper which reads: Stone Throwing Devils.
The placard also uses vintage black mounting corners and is centered on vintage
red velvet and framed in a beautiful vintage gold wooden frame. It is signed and dated on the back and is ready to hang in your own
personal dime museum or sideshow.
This one-of-a-kind framed curio is signed, rubber-stamped and dated on the back by Madame Talbot.
Please Note: With all of my Framed Curio Exhibits, I try to replicate
an authentic atmosphere of Victorian-era Dime Museum Patina.
This of course refers to that very special layer of age that builds up over decades,
something which I try to incorporate into all of the framed curio pieces I make.
This Victorian-era Dime Museum Patina may include one or more of the following:
vintage dust fabric, flower petals shards, glue bits, thread strands, sun faded material,
water stained, and/or smoke burned 100-year-old paper, &c., &c., and &c.
