Has anyone ever heard about this painting before? Please take a look at it and read the story. Just looking at the painting online gives me the chills - I cannot imagine how creepy it must be in real life.

You're welcome! I'm with you - I could never buy anything that is supposedly haunted, especially if it looked as spooky as that.

I am glad I am reading that this morning. That is so creepy! Thanks for the history lesson. I had a friend once who claimed her house was haunted. I never went to visit her, so I would never buy this painting either. I am glad I looked at it in the morning.

That is a good question. It would be interesting for someone to write an updated article about it to let us know.

That's a good question. I'll have to do some searching to see if I can find it anywhere.

Sounds just like a publicity stunt to sell a eerie looking painting. There have been a lot of people that have made up stories about ordinary objects and sold them for rediculous ammounts of money. Some guy sold a Eggo Waffle for 120 dollars because he carved "ROFL" into it and made up an elaborate 10+ page story about how aliens did it or something.

It's kind of like that, isn't it? As much as I don't like looking at it, it's like I can't stop staring.

Oh Boy, What the Artist had created without knowing it is not only a Painting, But am Imagery Portal, Spirits good and bad may be able to take over the little girl and the boy at any given time, and use their images to project into real life... And since He was doing an image of a past life related self it is a real image or energy that another being can used to form themselves into like image to project..... Many paintings can be used in this way but since the eyes were left open, it is not hard for a spirit to insult their souls into it, and use the images...
Judging my own senses, The story is legit...
