ok...I just saw the picture and I got suggested because I read the all tread. Then I realize that theres nothing to be afraid of "The haunted Picture" and now I'm having a headache.

I must be missing something...although this picture is freaky, it certainly isn't scary or evil looking....am I not seeing something here that I should be?

haunted painting . . i wasn't scared. Pray thee, can some one tell me what is scary about it?

If you sit there and stare it for awhile it is freaky but it doesn't have the same shock value as the "art" in the "What is this? # 2" post. I looked at them a few minutes apart but this pic didn't bother me.

Ive seen this picture a few times before, Its kinda weird, but personnally I think its kinda cool. The things about the hauntings hmmm.....I aint to sure, I would need to see something to back it up :s

I think some people are to paranoid, I mean come on.....a haunted painting?
I will admit it's weird to look at, but that's about it, to me, most of the "art" i've seen is weird, but definatly not scary.

I have to agree here. I see nothing what-so-ever scary about this painting..just wierd, and I have seen much weirder!

Still, I wouldnt like to walk past it at a late night, maybe its one of those paintings that the eyes appear to be following you as you walk. That is what the people could be experiencing as a haunting.

the kid looks demented, ill be seeing him in my nightmares (good) other then the kid i would be happy to buy it if the auction was still open though...

perhaps part of the art is the thought of seeing it before seeing it, if you follow. kinda like the blair witch project. i was shetting coins before i seen it. after i saw it i was like "theres £3 and 2 hours i wont get back"
kinda like this. i sat here for minutes and then nothing.
i feel cheated
and i want the 2p i am due for wasted interner usage

The only thing i found scary about it is that its now my avatar.

I have never managed to get rid of the picture from my computer.

I enjoyed it as wall paper but after a while got bored so changed it, next time I booted up, the picture was back.
I was a briefly freeked but it looked like a computer glitch so I moved the picture file to another folder and again put new wall paper up. a solar eclipse. This woked until I shut down, at which point a few secs before the puter shut off the picture appeared again.

Same thing happened to me with a different picture, my friend was on my comp and thought it'd be funny to change my backdrop to four short obese men in tight shiny leotards. I personally found that picture to be more disturbing than the one at hand... But anywho I changed my wallpaper back and deleted the file from my folders but everytime I rebooted it'd come back for months. Finally it went away but my same friend still uses a smaller version of the pic that as his AIM icon and uses it as his message board avatars.

I was just thinking about this, is this picture actually a unique picture, in the sense that only one has even been printed, cos if there are more than one in the world, are they all supposidly prossed.

I must agree, my first impressions when viewing the close up of the boy was that it resembled Bush. And how unusual the stacking of bodies behind the glass door was. Causes one to wonder at the coincidence of it all.
