Ten Infamous Haunted Objects Plagued With Death

This creepy painting was kept in Sean Robinson’s grandmother’s attic for twenty-five years before he inherited it from her. She had always told Robinson that the painting was evil, explaining how the artist who created it had used his own blood mixed with the paint, and had killed himself shortly after completing it.

She claimed to hear voices and crying when the painting was displayed, and to see the shadowy figure of a man in her house, which is why she locked it away in the attic. As soon as Robinson took the painting into his home, he and his family started experiencing the same kinds of creepy phenomenon. His son fell down the stairs, his wife felt something stroking her hair, and they supposedly saw the shadow man and heard crying.

In 2000, an anonymous eBay seller listed a painting created by artist Bill Stoneham called “The Hands Resist Him.” This painting is now largely considered to be one of the world’s most haunted works of art. The painting features a boy and a creepy doll standing in front of a glass door.

The painting was created in 1972 and purchased by Hollywood actor John Marley. It was then bought by a California couple before going up for sale on eBay along with a dire warning about the problems involved with owning the object.  According to the couple, the figures in the painting moved around at night, sometimes disappearing from the canvas entirely.

The boy in the painting was said to actually enter the room where the painting hung, and everyone who viewed the painting reported feeling sick and weak. Small children would take one look at the painting and run from the room screaming. Adults sometimes felt like unseen hands were grabbing them, and others said that they felt a blast of hot air.

Myrtles Plantation is an allegedly haunted bed and breakfast that is largely considered to be the most haunted home in the United States, as well as one of the most haunted houses in the world.

The plantation dates back to 1796, and it was built on a Native American burial ground. Additionally, it is rumored to be the location of at least ten murders, and paranormal events are frequent. Perhaps the most haunted item on the premises is a mirror that was added to the home in 1980.

Guests of the plantation have reported seeing figures lurking in the mirror, as well as child-sized handprints on the glass. There have been claims that the mirror contains the spirits of Sara Woodruff and her children. The Woodruffs were poisoned to death.

This famously haunted castle has been around since 1894. The most famous of paranormal activity is a particular set of chairs which are said to have spirits attached to them. Anyone who sits in these chairs feels uneasy and as if there is someone present. A few visitors have even been ejected from the chairs entirely by an unseen force.

Mass-produced and widely distributed, copies upon copies of “The Crying Boy” have circulated around the world since the 1950s. But in 1985, stories of “The Crying Boy” painting being found in the ruins of burned houses, utterly unscathed, kept surfacing.

It is said that this painting will burn down any building it resides in. It is even said that tears have occasionally been seen dripping from this painting as well.

Created in Italy during the 15th century, the Basano Vase was re-discovered in 1988 and came with a note that read “Beware, this vase brings death,”. It would eventually be auctioned it off. It sold for $2,300 and three months later, its new owner was found dead.

The next owner similarly passed away, this time after two months. The pattern continued, owner to owner, until eventually the police reportedly buried the vase no where to be found again.
