054 The Coffee Pot by Theophile Gautier

054 The Coffee Pot by Theophile Gautier is a strangely moving ghost story written by an author that has been very influential. The guest is invited to sleep in the bedroom of the host’s dead sister who had passed away two years previous. Something magickal began to happen during the long hours of the night which reminds me strangely of some of the animation sequences from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”.
