Painted by Bruno
Amadio, “The Crying Boy” painting isn’t just one painting, but a
mass-produced print with numerous alternative versions, all with young
boys or girls crying, distributed in the 1950s. The haunting stories
began in the 1980s after a fireman in England claimed he kept coming
across the paintings in burned houses, except the paintings were
remarkably untouched. People who owned the painting found their houses
burned down. It reached such a fervor that newspaper The Sun
gave
readers a chance to bring in the paintings and destroy them in a
bonfire. Psychics claim the painting is haunted by the spirit of the boy
or girl it depicts. Supposedly, to lift the curse, you must hang a boy
and girl crying together, or like the movie “The Ring,” give the
painting to another person. Comedian Steve Punt had another theory: many
of the paintings came from one person who never liked the picture and
saw a good opportunity to get rid of it. Check this link out
