One night a strange, mystic device appears in the basement of Withersun Manor. It bears the following inscription:
This machine is a deadly bomb
one that purges all ghosts from the planet it's on.
It is set to go off pretty soon, guranteed
unless is progress you can impede.
Along with the bomb, cryptic clues now appear
all around your planet; one's even right here.
Each clue leads to a new astral control
upon activating all, the bomb will unroll.
This will lead to a treasure good and great
in addition to stopping the bomb (which it will hate).
Also each control has a clue of its own
that leads to the next, and so on, and so on.
Nine controls in all are what are required
to shut off the bomb which you have aquired.
The bomb also doubles as a universal fetter
that transports anywhere so you can find the clues better.
Enough explanation, you seem good and set
for the first of the nine clues that you'll get.
There's a work of art that looks very grand
and was heavily influenced by we in the astral land.
"The Haunted Painting" is what it's often referred to
though this is not really its title, I tell you.
It got its name on an auction site
by the name E-Bay, a great place in its own rite.
Go to the home of its creator
the astral control is in his radiator.
Notes: You may find it helpful to work together on this by posting here with your own insights. If you know the answer, please do not blurt it out directly after the riddle. Instead, hold off for a while so other people may attempt to figure it out. Also, when stating your answer (which is always a location) please also explain how you came up with it.
