I read about this before. I saw one pic and I thought OMG THIS IS BEAUTIFULLY DONE! I was about to save the pic on my computer and then actually read the article. XD I'm afraid if I save it my house will burn!!!

also bad parenting! if your children are scared of something why would you expose them to it!!!!

Haha, I was thinking the same thing when saving the picture to upload to Tinypic, but in the end I decided that if there is a so-called curse, I've already been exposed to it. XD

Well, I was afraid of really obnoxious things when I was little and it was hard to "protect" me from all of it. Like the heater in my room, the fire extinguisher and as I said in the post, pigs breaking in at night.

what if you made a house out of this photo? Like, plastered hundreds of this photo together? maybe the house wouldn't burn down...

OMG why would anyone would buy that! (other than the creepy factor, I mean)

In the Spanish radio programm Milenio 3 that was mentioned in this post they told once a legend explaining why the paintings were so creepy which the Spanish Wikipedia confirms! (great source, yeah). It goes like this: the painter wanted talent and made a deal with the devil for it. The he created those paintings and the one in the OP is said to be from a child in an orphanage. Said orphanage later burnt down and the spirit of the child now hunts the painting.

The wiki also says that those paintings were believed to protect children, maybe explaining why they were hung in children's bedrooms.

In any case, the painter was good. At least he knew how to capture the eys of a hurt but defiant child.
