Cursed: The Anguished Man

In 2010, Sean Robinson reported strange activity in his home. Sean blamed the eerie events on a painting known as “The Anguished Man” and set up a camera to share the paranormal activity with viewers.

According to Robinson, his grandmother originally owned the painting and believed it was cursed. She told Sean she saw dark figures near the painting and heard moans and cries in the night. She also claimed the artist had committed suicide after finishing “The Anguished Man” and that he had mixed his own blood with the paint. Sean inherited the painting after his grandmother’s death and experienced the strange events for himself.

Sean had posted videos on youtube of paranormal activity surrounding the painting.

Cursed? The Hands Resist Him a.k.a. eBay haunted painting

Bill Stoneham’s “The Hands Resist Him,” a.k.a. the “eBay Haunted Painting” is one of the world’s most haunted works of art.

“The Hands Resist Him” features a boy and creepy doll standing in front of a glass paneled door. Stoneham created the painting in 1972, and The Godfather actor John Marley purchased it a few years later. A couple in California eventually acquired the painting and put on eBay in February 2000. Though the painting is creepy, the story behind it is even more so.

According to the couple, the figures in the painting moved around at night and even left the canvas altogether. However, the boy and doll didn’t simply disappear from view. They entered the room in which the painting was displayed. It seems the artwork’s curse didn’t just affect the owners. People who viewed the painting online reported feeling sick and faint. Some people claimed their children ran away screaming after seeing “The Hands Resist Him,” while others claimed to be gripped by an unseen entity. One person tried to print a downloaded image of the painting, but their brand new printer refused to cooperate.

An art gallery in Grand Rapids, MI purchased the painting for just over $1,000 and eventually tracked down Bill Stoneham. The artist was surprised by the haunting stories, but did note that the gallery owner who displayed the “The Hands Resist Him,” and the art critic who reviewed it, both died within a year of viewing the painting. Stoneham has since painted two sequel works, “Resistance at the Threshold” and “Threshold of Revolution.”

The cursed chair of the Busby Stoop Inn

The Thirsk Museum, England, hangs the chair of Thomas Busby. The chair hangs on a wall, about five to six feet up, in order to prevent anyone from sitting on it. Legend holds that the chair is cursed, and anyone who dares sit in it will meet an untimely end soon after.

In the summer of 1702, coin-forger Daniel Awety moved to the rural area of Kirby Wiske, where he bought a farm and renamed it ”Danotty Hall”. From there, he would continue his illicit coin-forging business. Awety partnered with his son-in-law, Thomas Busby. Busby, owned a inn just down the road from Danotty Hall he was also a reputed thief as well as a drunk and a bully.

The story goes Busby found Awety sitting in his favorite chair, a heated argument ensued in which Busby kicked Awety out. Awety threatened to take Busbys daughter with him to Danotty Hall. Later that night, Busby snuck into Danotty Hall, murdered Daniel Awety, and hid his body in the woods.

The dissapearance of Awety was suspicious and police organized a search, they found his body and Thomas Busby was arrested and sentenced to death by hanging.

On the day of his execution, a drunken Busby had to be pulled and dragged from his favorite chair. As he was being led to the gallows, he cursed the chair, vowing that anyone who dared sit in it would die a sudden and violent death.

After Busby’s death, the inn was renamed the Busby Stoop Inn.

More than 300 years later, the Busby Stoop Inn still stands and the tale of Busby’s cursed chair continues to dare the foolhardy and fill men’s hearts with fear. When the inn was taken over, the new owners kept Busby’s chair out on display. Stories about the curse, as well as alleged sightings of Busby’s ghost wandering the second floor, drew many curious customers to the inn. Friends stopping by for a drink would dare one another to sit on the chair, though very few did.

But according to several reports and eyewitnesses, those who were brave enough to sit in Busby’s chair all met an untimely demise.

The legend around The Crying Boy painting.

The stories began around 1985, when several mysterious fires occurred all around England. When the debris was sifted through the only item that remained uncharred was a painting of a little boy with a tear rolling down his cheek in every fire.

Background: Bruno Amadio an italian painter was in Spain when he noticed a boy crying, he then asked him what's wrong, the boy continued crying and didn't talk. Bruno took him to the his apartment, the boy didn't stop crying. Bruno found out about the boy from his nieghbours that the boy had saw his parents being burnt during a fire at thier home, the boy's name is Don Bonillo. Noone wanted to do anything with the boy, because he is know whereever he goes a fire would start for no reason.

He drew around 27 portraits of the boy, all of them sold. Bruno became rich and living luxuriously.
Bruno had gone for a trip and on arrival he saw that his apartment which was also his studio was burnt to the grown, all his painting were ruined, he blamed Don, Don ran away and wasnt seen again.

In 1976, barcelona had witnessed one of the most awful car crashs. After the car crashed, it was on fire, the body couldn't be identified, but in the glove compartment was a license which was partly burnied. It was Don, 19 years old.

Shortly after this incident there were mysterious fires all over england, the fires have turned everything into a rubble expect the portraits of the crying boy.

In 1988, a mysterious explosion destroyed the home of the Amos family in Heswall, England. When firemen sifted through the burnt-out shell of the house, they found a framed picture, entitled ‘The Crying Boy’, which was a portrait of an angelic-looking boy with a sorrowful expression and a tear rolling down his cheek. But the picture was not even singed by the blaze.

Not long afterwards in Bradford, there was another blaze, and again a picture of the crying child was found intact among the smoldering ruins. The head of the Yorkshire Fire Brigade told the national newspapers that pictures of the weird Crying Boy were frequently found intact in the rubble of houses. Journalists asked him if he thought that the picture was evil and could somehow start the fires, but the fire-chief refused to comment.

There have been reports of the crying boy painting being found in charred homes untouched since 1985 and as recent as 1988.
