[edit] Seen
I have seen the painting, and:
1. Although it looks scary, it doesn't seem haunted to me, and
2. Someone must have invented the story.

I've obviously seen it on here. Let's face it, the kid looks creepy. And the fact that's it's associated with bad luck is enough to spur the mind to become convinced it's haunted.--Spencer "The Belldog" Bermudez | (Complain here) 13:39, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Invent
But, why on earth would someone invent an elaborate fantasy like that? RocketMaster 11:46, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- How much did they want to sell it for. If it was a high price, it might well be a gimmick; if for dirt cheap or only moderate amount (especially in the world of art), it's much more likely that something did indeed unsettle the owners...whether from something psychosomatic, or truly anomalous, one can only guess without directly interviewing them or putting the painting under a prolonged study. --Chr.K. 23:49, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
It might not be a good idea to put the painting right on the right side of the left side of the screen, considering the legend that it is haunted, i would think it would be best that it would have a link.

- The Hope Diamond is said to be haunted, but Smithsonian hasn't suffered from its curse. Perhaps Wikipedia is likewise free. --Chr.K. 19:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page name
"EBay Haunted Painting" and "Haunted eBay Painting" should redirect to Hands Resist Him, the work's actual name. --Chr.K. 23:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- I concur. --InShaneee 22:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Me three. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that. Can you do it for us InShaneee? Lisapollison 05:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
It's accomplished with the 'move' tab at the top of the article, which I've now taken care of. --InShaneee 14:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] OK
Was it okay for me to put this image here, because of it's, um, legal status? RocketMaster 14:21, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Is it still on? It freaks me out so much I never went back ot this page. --Spencer "The Belldog" Bermudez | (Complain here) 20:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- I would say it qualifies for fair use, as an encyclopedic entry. --Chr.K. 19:09, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] expanding the article
members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Paranormal have suggested expanding this article. I did some work on it this morning and invite others to help me out by fleshing out the details of the internet legend that built up around this and any news articles about it. If you don't know how to list sources, feel free to list them here or on my talk page and I can help you.Lisapollison 16:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'd take another look at those sources, a few of them seem kind of redundant. --InShaneee 15:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Witnesses?
Are there any references, apart from the seller's say-so, to say it's cursed or haunted? Are there any witnesses to say they saw the figures moving? If not, something should be said to this effect - otherwise it could be just a clever way to advertise an ebay item. Totnesmartin 21:32, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
