A slipping slide consists of two pieces of glass - both painted with different stages of a movement. Black patches painted on the movable, or 'slipping', slide alternately cover and uncover the stages of movement.

The first part of the slide shows a man stood by the gravestone with a lamp. In this second part he is surprised by a boy holding a ghost made from a sheet.
