| The Hands Resist Him |
In 1972, the Hands Resist Him Painted by Bill Stoneham is a painting that has another name that many of those who believe in legend call The Haunted eBay painting. The artwork depicts a young boy and a life-size doll, both standing in a doorway in front of a dark glass window, which has several hands reaching forward as if trying to grab them. In February of 2000, a couple from California put the painting up on eBay to claim that it haunted by something truly evil. At night, it said that the boy who is allegedly scared of the doll next to him exits the canvas into whatever room displayed. The owner of the first gallery that it was in, plus the first art critic to review it, both died the same year that they laid eyes on it.

The royal holloway is one of the most advanced learning institutions in all of the United Kingdom, training the next generation of management experts, artists, and scientists on how to become great leaders of tomorrow, these students are some of the brightest folks in the entire country, and they won't hesitate to tell you all about a cursed painting that's capable of turning their minds into mush. This scary Painting created by Edwin Henry Landseer, a talented whose animal paintings were so realistic that they attracted attention from Queen Victoria herself. In 1864 he painted his darkest piece yet in it, two ferocious arctic polar bears feast on the remains of a frozen shipwreck, one of them looks straight at the viewer while the other is busy gnashing on human bones with glee, the tattered sail of the boat rises to form death's, and the fallen mast looks like death's scythe, it's called Man proposes God disposes, and Edwin Henry Landseer based this painting on Franklin's expedition, this was a real-life tragedy where over 100 men became trapped in the ice and died before their two boats could find a trade route in the artic, this horror painting has been causing academic problems for students going as far back as the 1920s, it is known to curse the entire class with bad luck, but how close you sit it seems to matter too, any student unlucky enough to sit right in front of it is guaranteed to fail their exams, as history shows, however, the polar bear's stare can make students lose a lot more than their grade point average like their sanity. In 1970, one student just couldn't take it anymore and demanded to sit farther away from the haunted painting, the professor refused to change their seating arrangements, only when the painting was covered with a flag would the student sit down and take their test, since then, covering the painting has become a tradition every year. This story is the one that the college has no problem admitting, but there's the darker example, that Royal Holloway administrators will never own up to, at one point, a student is said to have been taking their exam while sitting directly in front of the painting, they glanced up from their paper and found themselves entranced by the polar bear's savage eye. The student scribbled, "the polar bears made me do it" on the school exam and went back to their dorm room to commit suicide. Of course, Royal Holloway denies that this legend is real, but the students swear it's true, and they have no problem sharing what really happened with anyone who is willing to listen.

3-Ivan The Terrible Kills His Son - horror painting

| Ivan The Terrible Kills His Son |
Ivan the terrible was a Russian czar, who beat his son to death after he tried to protect his own wife. A famous artist named Ilay Repin recaptured the moment his painting called Ivan the Terrible Kills His Son, shows the crazed leader cradling his son while straight ahead with a crazed look. When the painting first unveiled at the Tretyakov Gallery, it caused the crowd to go into hysterics. Some people wept, some went into a coma-like state, and others became murderously angry. It evoked such a strong reaction that it was as if Ivan's son himself had possessed the painting. In 1913, a fellow painter named Abram Bachalov took one look at this scary painting and went insane. He took out a pocket knife and slashed the canvas three times while shouting "stop the bloodshed"; what he could have been seeing is anyone's guess. He was slicing directly into Ivan's staring face while he screamed. Abram was taken away to a mental institution and never let out, many say that he was crazy, to begin with, but many others say that the man was of sound mind on that day until he saw Ivan's eyes staring back at him. The painting's creator was getting older at this point, but he wanted to prove that he still had his talents. Ilay Repin calmly repainted the slashed face into its former horrifying expression, it has been restored since and continues to haunt spectators to this day.

| Bernardo De Galves |
hangs in the Galvez Hotel in Galveston Texas, both the hotel and the entire city named after this crucial Spanish general, who helped America gain independence by fighting alongside American troops against the British, his military campaign took from the state of Mississippi to Florida, and he even took out a British naval base in the Bahamas, as you can imagine. This famous commander gave a lot of respect throughout his life, and now he continues to demand it even in death, it seems as if the great general is always sizing people up to see if they would make for a good soldier to serve in his ranks, his watchful gaze follows hotel guests as they pass by in the hall, on the other hand, anyone who looks at the portrait of Bernardo de Galvez the wrong way can expect to be quickly put in their place, the general does not tolerate any insubordination and will cast a disciplinary glare that has sent shivers down the spine of many hotel visitors before, this goes double if you want to take the general's picture. Bernardo de Galvez requires that you first politely if it is okay to photograph him before doing so if you don't correctly obtain his permission then the photograph never comes out correctly, this was confirmed on tow separate occasion: first by a Houston news reporter and then later by a paranormal investigator, the news reporter's camera simply locked up and refused to take the shot, when the paranormal investigator tried, all they ended up with was a blurry photo when they took a closer look however, it was clear that they were looking at a side profile of the general's angry skull.

7-The Crying Boy Painting

| The Crying Boy Painting |
In the 1950s, artist Giovanni Bragolin created a series of paintings that included one of the strangest, most weird portraits ever to grace a wall, The Crying Boy. An image of a young boy crying, this painting appears to draw severe misfortune to whoever hangs it in their home. Devastating house fires followed not only the original painting but also many of the copies that have made of it. And in all of them, the unsetting portrait somehow survives, even when the whole room turned to ashes. In 1985, a story in the sun, a tabloid paper in the United Kingdom, showed the curse of the crying children paintings, and their popularity plummeted. Still, the curse is said to remain with those that are still hanging on the walls.

| The Anguished Man |
In June of 2010, a man named Sean Robinson posted a video onto YouTube where he claimed that he was in possession of a cursed painting known as The Anguished Man. Robinson stated that painting was given to him by his grandmother and that the artist had actually mixed in his own blood onto this horror painting and then committed suicide after finishing it. He also claimed that ever since he brought the painting into his home, a number of strange things began to occur, from seeing shadowy figures of a man to hearing screams and cries inside the house. Obviously, a lot of people believed that this was fake as Sean hadn't provided any evidence to these claims, so he made a follow-up video where he put a camera the painting for three days, and at this time, a number of strange things happened. A nearby door would randomly open and close, and the sounds of scratches and bangs could be heard from time to time. This video was much more successful than the first, getting over 1.5 million views to its name. The Anguished Man became a well-known painting on the internet because of the success of this video, and people began to report that this scary painting had a strange effect on them. This ranged from feeling nauseous to having full-blown nose bleeds after viewing the painting. The piece is obviously dark, so the idea that it had a negative mental effect on its viewers is not that far fetched, as for the rest of the story, people are understandably skeptical, but most people remain open-minded and are anxious to find out if there are developments to be made when it comes to The Anguished Man.
