Lost in the Darkness: Drawer No. 1 — Haunted Ephemera Set

There are drawers in The Haunted Desk that are probably better left closed.

Naturally, I opened one :)

Twenty-two-piece haunted ephemera set arranged on vintage lace, including coffee-dyed tags, envelopes, guest checks, eerie portraits, skeletons, skulls, bats and graveyard images.

Full 22-piece collection

Lost in the Darkness: Drawer No. 1 is a collection of 22 physical pieces of haunted ephemera—coffee-dyed envelopes, tags and old paper forms, along with eerie portraits, anatomical oddities, poison labels, graveyards, bats and other curious remnants.

Wrapped haunted ephemera pack containing coffee-dyed envelopes, tags, guest checks and stamped papers, secured with a Lost in the Darkness: Drawer No. 1 label.

Bundled and ready to leave The Haunted Desk.

Close-up of gothic paper ephemera featuring eerie Victorian-style portraits, a haunted house, a stamped eye and a dark séance scene with figures gathered around a candlelit table.

Some pieces feel as though they came from an abandoned office. Others appear to have been borrowed from a crumbling family album or retrieved from the pocket of someone who disappeared a very long time ago.

Coffee-dyed haunted ephemera featuring a stamped skeleton on a guest check, an eerie Victorian-style portrait, a library card and a small envelope stamped with a bare tree, bats and a coffin.
Coffee-dyed Halloween journal papers with a vintage poison-bottle cutout, bat-covered writing card, stamped cauldron and a small foggy graveyard image.

They can be tucked into journals, layered into collages, added to pockets and envelopes or simply shuffled around the table until a story begins to emerge. There are no instructions and no particular rules. Start with the face that unsettles you most and see where it leads.

Gothic paper ephemera featuring a black-and-white skull cutout, stamped beetle card, coffee-dyed library card, bats, a coffin and a small piece of black lace.

Each set is bundled together like a small parcel recovered from the back of The Haunted Desk.

Haunted ephemera featuring a stamped anatomical skull on an ochre envelope, a Victorian-style gentleman in a top hat, aged tags and small eerie portrait cards.

Whether you use them to begin a haunted journal, tuck a strange little secret into an envelope, or simply spread them across your desk and admire them for a while, I hope these pieces bring a little beautiful darkness to whatever you are making.
This is a physical set of printed paper pieces, ready to use. Nothing is digital, and there is nothing to download or print.

Drawer No. 1 is open now. I have a feeling it won’t be the last.
Thanks for “haunting” by, Lisa ;)
