The painting by Zdzislaw Beksiński has no title. Some seriously believe that those who see his canvases will soon die. However, they are currently on display in Poland in a museum named after the artist. For those who are inclined to believe in such mysticism, we remind you that there are no paintings in this article, but only their photographs, so there is no danger.
This work is supposedly written in the artist's own blood. The painting, titled "A Man in Torment," was created by an unknown author who committed suicide immediately after its completion. The owner of the painting, Sean Robinson, inherited it from his grandmother. At first he kept the canvas in the basement, but one day a flood forced Robinson to move it into the house. The portrait currently hangs in the guest bedroom on the third floor. After the move, members of the Robinson family said they heard muffled sobs and strange noises at night, as if someone was scratching wood. Robinson's wife said that one day she went to the matrimonial bed (not in the room where the painting was), and was horrified to find another person, a stranger, instead of her husband. When she jumped out of bed and was about to call the police, the stranger disappeared.
Edwin Henry Landseer's painting Man Proposes, God Disposes (1864) is at Royal Holloway, London University. According to rumors, in the seventies of the last century, one of the students committed suicide after seeing this work. His suicide note was found during an initial medical examination. It read: "The polar bears made me do it." Because of this incident, after 1984, the university administration began to hide the picture so that no one could see it. However, a replica titled "Vanishing Ice: Alpine and Polar Landscapes in Art" is currently on display at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary. Gloomy mystical rumors surround the replica, like the original painting.
Artist Laura P. painted this watercolor from a photograph taken in the tourist town of Tumston, Arizona by professional photographer James Kidd. If you look closely, you can see a headless man standing to the left of the van. Laura swears that she did not draw it on purpose and that this figure was not in the original photo. After hanging the watercolor in her house, strange things began to happen. The time of appointments was mysteriously changed, important papers disappeared without a trace, and an antique clock that had hung on the wall for 40 years fell and shattered. Moreover, various objects in a completely incomprehensible way flew at the hostess, as if someone had thrown them, including dried starfish nailed to the walls of the garage for decorative purposes.

The Crying Boy by Bruno Amadio is not a particularly expensive painting by a British couple, Ron and May Hall. In the mid-eighties, their house burned down. The only item that remained completely intact after the fire was this painting. As a result, she was blamed for the fire. There are several reproductions of this painting, and strangely enough, similar stories are also associated with them. It's hard to believe, but in the homes of people who had the misfortune to hang them on the wall, there was a fire, in which reproductions were the only surviving item. Other reproduction owners reported that they practically drove them to poverty.
Bill Stoneham created his painting Hands Resist Him in 1972. The people who owned this painting said that the doll and the little boy on the canvas sometimes changed their positions and positions, and sometimes they were found even outside the painting, for example, on the wall where it hung. According to the then owner of the painting, who was trying to sell it through ebay, he hoped to help his little daughter get rid of her fears, for which he placed a camera in the room that reacts to movement. Thus, he hoped to show his daughter that she had nothing to fear. Instead, he said, they saw the boy slowly move away from the painting.
Presumably, this portrait, by Bernardo de Galvez, who died in 1786, is the abode of the artist's ghost and cannot be photographed unless the painting is first asked for permission. Any attempt to photograph the work without permission will result in the photo being blurred regardless of the focus of the lens.
The painting "Love Letters" hangs at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas. She allegedly caused the four-year-old daughter of a US senator to fall down stairs and die. The girl in question bore a striking resemblance to the one depicted on the canvas. Recently, people have reported that the girl's face in the painting, as well as her location, change from time to time. Overly curious viewers who stare at her for too long at some point begin to feel physically sick or dizzy.
The painting "Dead Mother" was painted by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, the author of the famous painting "The Scream". The people who own this work claim that the sheets in the picture sometimes make rustling sounds or move, and the child from time to time completely disappears from his place.
