So, you know that creepy painting?
I'm sure its just coincidental, cause i've looked at it close up and its a print of the original, but dude... last night creepy shit happened.
My mom asked me when i got up 'why were you up so late? i was sure you'd go to bed early since you got up so early yesterday' and i told her 'well, it was earlier than usual' and she went "You were walking around at five in the morning!" and i was all '.... i was asleep by four...'
And she just looked at me and said 'the door shook the way it does when someone shuts another door and the vacuum rattles the door, so i went to see if your dad went outside and he was on the couch and said you were walking around opening and closing the kitchen cabinets and that you went and opened and shut the bathroom door.'
... i was ASLEEP... my brother was in the bed with my mom after a bad dream and my sisters dont ever get up in the middle of the night.... WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!
I seriously thought that painting was haunted, but i looked and its a print, i doubt its really old or haunted, lmao.
But dude, FREAAAAKKYYYYY!!!
...even more freaky, i looked up the artist (my dad wanted to see if it was worth anything, but as a Print i doubt its worth much) and turns out its a print of 'cursed' paintings called the Crying Boy paintings.

The story of curse of the Crying Boy Painting.
The legend around this painting is as grim as it gets. The stories began around 1985, when several mysterious fires occurred all around England. When the debris was sifted through the only item that remained un-charred was a painting of a little boy with a tear rolling his cheek in every fire. Could this all be coincidence?
Whether real or not a Yorkshire fireman was so upset that he talked with the “Sun” newspaper in England. They ran his story about how everything in the home was consumed by fire except for a painting of a crying boy. There were at that time more than one of these paintings around and each seemed to have the same effect. The home and all contents would be totally destroyed but the painting of the little crying boy would not show any sign at all of going through a fire. The newspaper began receiving telephone calls from people all over the area that had similar stories to tell about the crying boy painting. One person that called the “Sun” was Dora Mann of Mitcham and she has been quoted as saying "Only six months after I had bought the picture, my house was completely gutted by fire. All my paintings were destroyed, except the one of the crying boy." After one month of hearing all the tales, the “Sun” gave their readers the chance to bring their crying boy paintings and agreed to have a very large bon fire to rid everyone of this cursed or jinxed painting. All paintings that were brought to the newspaper were in fact burned and everyone rejoiced.
However, the story goes on. There have been reports of the crying boy painting being found in charred homes untouched since 1985 and as recent as 1988.
