The Anguished Man

The Anguished Man

Good afternoon, souls. Today, I present to you a truly horrifying painting that is infamous for being cursed. Over the years, this notorious painting has become a cult phenomenon on the web. The work has a terrible history behind it.

This artwork depicts an apparently human figure characterized by truly disturbing and frightening features.

Techniques Used

The Anguished Man is one of the works that boasts a particular painting technique known as blood painting, which involves mixing blood with paint.

The Artist

The name of the artist is unknown, but it is known that he was a friend of the grandfather of the current owner, Sean Robinson. After creating the painting, the artist gave the artwork to the man and shortly after took his own life.

The Painting’s History

Sean’s grandmother decided to hang the painting in the living room, but it was not a happy choice. Strange screams and moans started to be heard from the room, along with a mysterious dark shadow moving around the house. The woman decided to put the painting in the attic, and it remained untouched for 25 years. Upon her death, Sean inherited the house, found the painting, and decided to hang it up again.

A Hell Just Beginning

Once again, moans, screams, and strange shadows began to reappear, and things took a turn for the worse when Sean’s son broke his femur after falling down the stairs. The child claimed that someone (or something) pushed him down the stairs. His wife also reported that during the night, she felt her hair being stroked. Sean decided to open a YouTube channel to document these paranormal phenomena but later decided to remove the painting and lock it in the basement.

Hypotheses

Scholars of esotericism and the paranormal hypothesize that the painting may emit a negative aura due to its creator, who died a violent death, and that through the painting, he has the power to materialize his spirit through these phenomena.
