| Reverse description | The two-image lenticular design by Emmanuel Julian Madail Monzon shows a ghostly encounter in one of Canada`s most haunted buildings. The first image shows a visitor entering a former jail during an evening tour of the HI Ottawa Jail Hostel, where the bar door is left ajar. When the coin is tilted, the door is closed and the eerie ghost of a former inmate—perhaps Patrick Whelan, who was hanged for the 1868 assassination of Thomas D`Arcy McGee, aFather of Confederation—appears behind the terrified visitor and looks directly at the viewer. |
