From Beyond

From the French phrase 'esprit d'escalier,' literally, it means 'the wit of the staircase', and usually refers to the perfect witty response you think up after the conversation or argument is ended. "Esprit d'escalier," she replied. "Esprit d'escalier. The answer you cannot make, the pattern you cannot complete till aterwards it suddenly comes to you when it is too late."

I just chanced to happen on the Wit of the Staircase, and read the introduction above and had a look at the blog, it looked interesting, read a spooky story about Basil Rathbone. And I idly wondered why the last entry was October 29 2007. Taking a break? Then off to the side of the blog I saw

Spirit d'escalier -- in memory of Theresa Duncan

What?? Isn't this this person's blog? I click the link and read and it sinks in she's dead. God, I've only just chanced over this blog and there will be no more entries. But strangely she does speak from the grave as you read the blog.

Mystified as to what happened to her I go to Wikipedia and see the photo

and instantly I remember the newspaper articles about her suicide and then her boyfriend's suicide a week later.uite a weird experience.

Quite a weird and spooky experience, is this deja lu ?
