I received a correspondence from a reader in the United Kingdom that centers around an odd painting aptly titled "The Anguished Man" which is supposedly haunted.
"Hi, Lon. I thought this might interest you. My Grandmother had this painting in her attic for twenty-five years. She said it was evil. She told us she used to see the dark figure of a man around the house and at night she heard strange noises and crying. She told me the artist committed suicide shortly after finishing it and that he had used his own blood mixed in with the oils. After she died we got the painting, it is currently in our basement. Shortly after we got the painting various members of the family started seeing the dark figure of a man. At night we began hearing noises and just recently we have heard crying and moaning. The painting is still in our house and although I never believed in the supernatural I am now convinced there is something evil about this painting. I am currently awaiting a full paranormal investigation being carried out." Sean Robinson, Cumbria, England

"12/19/2010: Things seemed to have settled down so I moved the painting again, and now it's started again with a vengeance. The noises are much worse, and I'm finding it difficult to get any sleep. I have no explanation for what is happening but I'm convinced it is all related to the painting. I'm going to set up a camera to try and capture some of the activity. l'll keep you updated."
"1/9/2011: I was recently looking at some photographs that were taken when I was transporting the painting in my car when I noticed something strange. My two sons were messing about in the back seat when one of them took this photograph of his younger brother. Is this a trick of the light or could this be the spirit that inhabits 'The Anguished Man'?"
"2/16/2011: I moved the painting back into the top bedroom. I set the video camera up and recorded for approx. eight hours over three consecutive nights. After spending several hours looking at the footage this is what I found. There were many other sounds recorded but they sounded like they came from outside, these were different. Shortly after moving the painting, my wife felt someone stroke her hair in the bathroom and I saw a strange fog-like mist at the top of the stairs that vanished as quickly as it came. The painting is now back in the cellar for the time being."
NOTE: Our team was the first to investigate this attachment case. The last that I heard, the painting remained in the attic. There had been no further reports of activity. The painting was eventually sold, and the new owners have been selling reproductions to the public. I lost touch with Sean eventually. Lon
