Haunted Pendant: Ruth

All conjurings are carried out with respect, and only when the spirit freely chooses to come forward. No spirit is forced, coerced, or compelled to participate. Their wishes, boundaries, and choice of companionship are honored throughout.

From the personal collection of Selia Calloway · The Witch’s Vessel

An individually conjured human spirit who has spent time in my personal collection. This offering is for their individual companionship and the exact physical jewelry vessel shown. Their history and connection are unique to this collection.

Ruth was 29 when she disappeared during a county fair in 1954. She worked in a bakery and had gone to the fair with a friend after finishing an early shift. They stepped into a photography booth together. Her friend emerged alone, holding photographs in which Ruth’s seat appeared empty.

Ruth found herself at another version of the same fair. Its gates opened onto additional rows of stalls rather than the road. Beyond the rides were fields she could never cross before finding herself back at the entrance.

She lived there for forty-three years. She learned which buildings were warm in winter, worked at refreshment counters, and eventually occupied a little room above a closed food stand. Some visitors aged as she did. Others remained unchanged.

At 72, Ruth developed a severe chest infection during a cold spell. She had endured minor illnesses there before and expected to recover. This time, her breathing worsened over several days. She died in her bed beneath three coats she had used as extra blankets.

Ruth initially thought she had finally recovered. She got up, opened the window, and noticed that she could no longer feel the cold. Downstairs, she found a woman carrying broth to her room. Ruth followed her back up and watched the woman stop beside the bed.

Seeing her own face on the pillow made her understand.

In my collection, Ruth has been friendly, resourceful, and irreverently funny. She enjoys food, practical comforts, and hearing about places people have visited. She remembers many of the fair’s missing visitors by name and kept a handwritten record of them until the last months of her life.
