Welcome to Episode 217: The Cursed Painting of The Crying Boy, featuring Tyler & Charlie of Believing The Bizarre! They say life imitates art, but what if the reverse were true? What if that unassuming piece of mass-produced art nailed to your wall could affect the very fabric of the reality around you? Could it even be possible for an inanimate piece of home decor to become imbued with agency, magic, or even, a curse? On this week’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we’ll be exploring the story behind a mass-produced painting that is said to have caused multiple tragedies around the United Kingdom in the 1980s.
