A figure draped in a sheet and holding up a red-hot poker advances into a room from an open door (right), terrifying four men, who hold up their hands in alarm; one has fallen to the ground clutching a bottle.  A fifth man is disappearing up the chimney (left).  On a table is a lighted candle.  The 'Ghost' has a false head of demoniacal appearance; a very human hand grasps the poker.  Cf. BMSat 8209.  29 July 1789
