The Phantom Lamp

The Phantom Lamp: Devecheaux Antiques and Haunted Things In the world of Devecheaux Antiques, some items illuminate more than just the room. When Henri Devecheaux receives a curious shipment from his friend Lamont, among the treasures lies a lantern unlike any other - glowing inexplicably, devoid of any power source. This spectral light, sent to Henri in hopes of finding a resolution to its haunting luminescence, sets him on a journey into the heart of the paranormal. The quest for answers leads Henri to the old Franklin Theatre in DeRidder, Louisiana. Steeped in nostalgia and hidden secrets, the theatre's past intertwines with Henri's own history in the world of the stage. As he peels back the layers of the theatre's story, he discovers the lantern's origin - a relic from the theatre's golden days, reluctant to be parted from the spotlight. Franklin Theatre, now a shadow of its former glory, holds a mysterious adage: the stage light must always burn, a sentinel against the gathering of restless spirits seeking closure. But what does the phantom lantern truly signify? Is it a guardian for the living, a beacon for the spirits of performers long past, or something more sinister, a harbinger of chaos? As Henri, Aggie, and Detra Ann delve deeper into the mystery, they find themselves confronting more than just a ghostly apparition. The journey tests their courage, challenging them to decipher whether the phantom lamp is a protector or a portal to a darker world. "The Phantom Lamp" is the fifth gripping installment in the Devecheaux Antiques and Haunted Things series by M.L. Bullock and A.E. Chewning. Join the trio as they navigate the blurred lines between the living and the spectral, where every antique has a story and some stories refuse to be confined to the past.
