File 11: Nana – “The Elderly Spinster”

SUBJECT DESIGNATION: Nana – “The Elderly Spinster”

CLASS: Type II Spectral Entity (Residual Cognitive / Object Manipulation)

CONTAINMENT STATUS: Secured within Portrait Frame #013, “Knitting Eternity”

THREAT LEVEL: Low to Moderate (Passive-Aggressive / Manipulative Behavior)

IDENTIFICATION

Full Name (During Life): Nana (Surname Unknown)

Apparent Age: 76

Gender: Female

Post-Mortem Appearance: Elderly woman seated perpetually in a rocking chair. Spectral form semi-transparent, with hair pulled tightly into a bun. Ghostly knitting needles float and move independently around her hands. Eyes often glare disapprovingly, and she emits faint murmurs or scolding phrases audible to nearby personnel.

BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD

Nana spent her later years in the mansion as a solitary figure, often engaged in knitting, storytelling, and gossip. She was known to be outspoken, critical, and occasionally sharp-tongued toward staff and visitors.

Following her death from natural causes, Nana’s ghost remained in her favorite sitting area, bound to her rocking chair and knitting materials. Residual psychic activity suggests she retained her critical personality post-mortem, manifesting as petty, passive-aggressive behaviors toward anyone entering her vicinity.

CAUSE OF DEATH (THEORETICAL ANALYSIS)

Analysis indicates:

Natural Causes: Most probable; advanced age, possible cardiac or respiratory failure, consistent with historical records.

Environmental Stressors: Indirect evidence suggests minor injury from a fall or cold exposure could have contributed, but was secondary to natural decline.

Her death left a concentrated cognitive imprint around her chair and knitting tools, creating residual poltergeist-like activity within a small radius.

PARANORMAL CHARACTERISTICS

Behavioral Pattern: Stationary; seated in rocking chair, with knitting needles moving on their own. Verbally scolds or critiques intruders. Exhibits minor telekinetic manipulation of yarn and knitting supplies.

Manifestation Site: Ground Floor Sitting Room, near the fireplace and personal chair.

Activity Cycle: Most active during daytime and early evening, coinciding with historical periods of knitting and social interaction.

Notable Abilities:

Object Manipulation: Knitting needles and yarn can move autonomously, forming complex patterns or defensive motions.

Auditory Projection: Generates murmurs, criticisms, or gossip-like phrases, often perceived as disorienting or unnerving.

Localized Poltergeist Effect: Minor environmental disturbances (rocking chair movement, small item displacement) occur when the subject is agitated.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

Nana retains her acerbic and critical personality post-mortem. She demonstrates awareness of intruders, often reacting with sharp verbal projections or minor object manipulation rather than direct aggression.

Exposure to the subject may cause mild irritation, distraction, or feelings of being judged among personnel. Despite her cantankerous tendencies, she is considered low risk for physical harm.

NOTES FROM PROF. E. GADD

“Nana’s a real handful. Not dangerous per se—but she’ll make you feel judged for an hour just by sitting there. Keep the needles away from interns, and try not to look guilty when she’s in view… she knows.”
