Bruce Spruce

Every December, Bruce Spruce had one job that mattered more to him than any other: decorating the enormous Christmas tree in the village square.

For thirty-seven years, Bruce checked every bulb himself and switched the lights on at precisely six o’clock.

Then one December evening, the tree illuminated before Bruce had even connected the plug.

Worse still, the lights refused to switch off.

As Christmas approached, more bulbs began glowing, including colours Bruce knew had never been part of the display.

It took him several nights to realise what they represented.

Each light belonged to someone the village had lost.

And one bulb was still dark.

Creation Timeline

All our ghosts are handcrafted to order. Please allow 7 working days for creation (excluding weekends and the day you order). We often finish sooner; the process typically takes 7 working days, excluding the day of order and weekends. While we strive to complete orders sooner, especially during quieter times, please be aware that during busy periods, the full 7 working days is the most likely timeframe. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we conjure your ghostly companion.

About our Ghosts

In a hidden chamber of Ravenwood Manor, ancient forces converge to bind wandering spirits into ghostly vessels. The enigmatic S.H.A.D.E. (Spectral Holding and Displacement Equipment) machine is pivotal in transferring lost spirits into their new, handcrafted forms. Shrouded in mystery, this intricate device channels energy beyond the veil, ensuring each apparition is securely housed within its phantom vessel.

The Matlock Ghost Emporium harnesses these energies to create spectral curios that shimmer with a soft, otherworldly glow. Each phantom is handcrafted, its translucent surface bearing swirling hues and eerie imperfections that reflect its unique passage through the veil. These irregularities are not mere flaws, but the spirit’s essence made visible, a raw and haunting beauty that embodies the mystery of the unknown.

When you choose a ghostly companion, the S.H.A.D.E. machine finalises the process, aligning the spirit’s energy with the vessel, ensuring an unbreakable connection. The result is a unique creation, an ethereal artefact that holds echoes of past lives, now reborn as chilling reminders of the realms beyond.

Step into this spectral gallery and witness the magic for yourself. Each phantom you encounter carries a story, a fragment of forgotten history brought back to haunt the present. With the aid of the S.H.A.D.E. machine, the Matlock Ghost Emporium ensures that these spirits find a new home, ready to share their eerie beauty with those who dare to invite them in.
