Shadows End (U)

by Barbara Whitehead

It was just an ordinary picture - of a sixteenth century woman wearing a white coif over her hair, a neat white ruff and a black dress. Yet for Elizabeth Bowe, a 26-year-old girl with her feet planted firmly in the twentieth century, it was the harbinger of a supernatural event that seemed inexorably imposed upon her by fate. For it was more than just a portrait - it was herself.
