1.The Anguished Man: Sean Robinson’s grandmother gave him the “Anguished Man” which was made by an unidentified artist who mixed his blood with paint in making this piece of art after which he committed suicide. Shawn uploaded a video on the paranormal activities regarding this painting where he felt a presence and saw the shadow of what he believes to be the artist himself. His wife even felt a hand stroking her hair. The painting is still in their possession.
2.The Hands Resist Him: The painting itself is creepy because there is a life-size doll beside the boy and there are countless number of hands behind the boy. Are these supposed to disembodied? Are these hands attached to imprisoned humans? No one knows. The first 3 people known to have come in contact with the painting died shortly. The several owners it had claimed to have seen the doll disappearing from the painting entirely. The last owners who sold it on eBay talked about how their little daughter saw little children inside the painting fighting. The last place it was known to be in was Perception Gallery in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
3.The Crying Boy:This is allegedly a painting of an orphan during the World War 2. Many houses which caught on fire had unburnt copies of the painting. The Sun, a newspaper, called in all the cursed copies and mass-burnt them.
4.The Portrait of Bernardo de Galvez: The portrait is said to be of a Spanish Military Leader which is hung at the Hotel Galvez.
It is rumoured that he did not like his portraits made or pictures taken hence if tourists take pictures with the painting without asking for permission, the picture will not come out right- it will either be blurry and once it had a skeleton instead of Galvez.
5.The Headless Man: This was based on a photograph taken by a commercial photographer whose art was on exhibition.
Laura requested the photographer to make an oil painting of the picture and took it to her office. Her appointments got mixed up, papers started going missing. She took it home and more severe things started happening- her glasses would start breaking while she’d be drinking from them, her wall clocks started falling and breaking out of the blue. She still has the painting till date.
