Wow! What a way to get a thousand bucks for a worthless painting

I got a couple that could make you feel ill if you want them, I'll do the 2 for a thousand.
What a bargain?

The power of suggestion.
It is usually the reason why curses work, people look for connections why they have bad luck and it's, "oh yeah", the curse, the painting, the voodoo doll, etc.

If I told you your supper would make you ill tonight, it just might. Or if I told you I served you a burger with stinky rotten meat, even if it was fresh, you'd feel ill about it.

Spooky pic though.

TO MY AMUSEMENT HE SET UP A MOTION TRIGGERED CAMERA FOR THE NIGHTS. AFTER THREE NIGHTS THERE WERE PICTURES.THE LAST TWO PICTURES SHOWN ARE FROM THAT 'STAKEOUT'. AFTER SEEING THE BOY SEEMINGLY EXITING THE PAINTING UNDER THREAT, WE DECIDED, THE PAINTING HAS TO GO.

I'd love to see those.

But yeah, scary picy.

It's the most horrifying picture of Doogie Howser I've ever seen.

He looks really pissed off.

Peace

Ill? no.. gave me some serious shivers tho.. between the kid's face (which I couldn't look at for more than 2 seconds.. and which seemed to be angrily looking *at* me..) and the hands reaching out from the window.. *shudders*

That painting would *never* hang in my house, and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if it was haunted.

I have heard of spirits being caught in paintings.. either being sent there, or their energies collecting in a painting.

There was one in a coffehouse I used to frequent.. hung in the girl's bathroom, of all places, directly across from a mirror. I could never look at it.. the lady seemed to be staring at me. (Maybe it was because it was directly infront of the toilet.. but advertisements of people staring have never affected me in that particular manner..) Then I heard from the woman who supposedly banished the spirit to the painting... if the mirror was ever removed from opposite the picture, then the spirit would be free, or at the very least, have the ability to leave if it so wished.

Either way ----- spooooky!

you're right, probably the only reason people that viewed the painting from this thread thinks it's spooky because they were induced to think so.

Hey great marketing there dude..

Find the world,s biggest conspiracy site with a paranormal section then tell a ghostly tale about it.

Really!That,s the kind of strategy that gets those extra few bucks..

I particularly like the way that you mentioned that the auction was coming to a close to maybe hurry people up that may be curious about buying it


EDIT EDIT EDIT
Whoops..

I just put my big fat foot in my mouth..

i missed this bit

Here is the original EBay description of this painting.........

I,m leaving my comments here as a reminder to myself and others to read carefully before making smart bottom comments..

SORRY again for doubting your integrity

I saw this a long time ago, and the same feeling came across me then...
Incess. Molestation, abuse, pain.

Not a haunted picture, just an artist that incorperated his feelings very well into the painting. Sick and twisted family produces an astounding artist. The written words or music would have been a great thing to expereince (in a sad way), but I bet there was a fear of that in this artist. (Male artist? Anyone know the artists name? I'd like to do some research on it).

I skipped the description at first just to avoid bias while looking at the picture. I don't know about it being haunted, but it's just a creepy picture as it is. The little girl freaks the crap out of me.

While I do not doubt the power of suggestion, for the record -- I'd still check the burger. Of course, I've been known to eat raw eggs.. with raw beef.. And considering how many casings of various bugs and other assorted animal parts I've eaten thanks to Oscar Meyers and Spam and the like.. I'm pretty sure I could handle anything!

Needless to say, the painting spooks me. I haven't figured out why.. if it's the lack of foreground, lack of background thru the window, the faces or the figures.. not sure. Maybe because she looks like a doll (is that a shadow, or a disjointed arm?) and his face is that of a grown man's? (a mad man, might I add..)

Maybe it's something that's simply visually unsettling.. doesn't make sense to the brain/eyes kinda thing..

Cool. I wouldnt hang that in my house, but i have alternative "Mona Lisas"...ever see them? They're awesome. I should make some "abstract art" (anyone can do those) and put them up for sale. I could say my pet monkey made them and make a killing also.

I wonder if the buyer would ask to meet my monkey.

Wow how bizarre,looking at the picture alone had my hair standing on end and a feel of anxiety,kind of like when kid comes in with that "I need money look" real scary

Me too. Like THREE YEARS (+/-) ago. So why is this still for sale?
The write up says that 'the auction is nearing the end'.
WHY is this taking three years or so to sell??


The painting is ugly. It wouldn't hang in my house simply because it's so ugly.
I DO believe things can be haunted, and perhaps this painting is one of them.
We had a haunted doll come in our house about 8 years ago. It was a simple
10$ doll from Kmart ... but oh the trouble it caused!! We got rid of it and
all was well again.

Been looking at it for like 1 hour (it is now 5:32am here) and just cant understand what is so creepy about it but then again I suck at appreciating art, wonder if thats my problem.

That is a freakin' ugly painting.
Seriously, who would want that hanging in their house?
Ugly...with a capital UG-LY!
(not to mention a little creepy, but not nausiating, unless you are prone to suggesstion)

The painting is good, I’ll give it that. There’s not much that scares me, but this one kind of jumped out at you and freaks you out when you first look at it (especially when you read the story of the previous owner first). However, the image is haunting, but probably not haunted. A lot like a horror movie, it’ll scare you as much as you let it, but the more I look at it the more the creeps wear off. I’ll go to sleep soon and I am a VERY active dreamer, so if anything happens, I’ll certainly repost to change my opinion. Still, I definitely wouldn’t hang this demonic looking crap in my house, it’s not something I would want to look at while trying to keep love and good feelings in my heart. Quite a few posts referred to using the pic as a wallpaper, changing it, and then still seeing it on shutdown. I’m more inclined to think it’s something with the operating system, because I’ve changed my wallpaper from a “sexy girl” of choice and still had it pop up on shutdown (and I’ve never observed anything particularly haunting about Christina Aguilera’s body). Still, it’s a very good painting because: 1)the shadows on the boy are weird, his face glows but his blonde hair doesn’t 2)the uneven sleeves and socks indicate he’s “not right”, and 3)anytime an animate creature has hollow eyes they appear to be lost in some way or another. It’s not stopping me from wanting to go to sleep, but I’m kind of anxious to see if it’ll have any effect on my extremely active dream cycles, cause my mind has cooked up everything from playing with puppies in the meadow to fondling mud monsters shooting at me with guns made of macaroni. Also, I’d love to know wtf the girl has in her hands.

i nearly passed out from looking at it is that normal for just a computer image?
