Hands Resist Him' by Bill Stoneham |

This
is a transcript of the original advert for the 'haunted' painting,
placed on E-bay in February 2000. |

"When
we received this painting, we thought it was really good art. A 'picker'
had found it abandoned behind an old brewery.

At the
time we wondered a little why a seemingly perfectly fine painting
would be discarded like that (today we don't!)
One
morning our four and a half year-old daughter claimed that the children
in the picture were fighting and coming into the room during the night.
Now I don't believe in UFOs or Elvis being alive but my husband was
alarmed. To my amusement he set up a motion-triggered camera for the
nights.

After
three nights there were pictures, the last two pictures shown are
from that 'stakeout'
After seeing the boy seemingly exiting the picture under threat, we
decided the painting has to go.
Please judge for yourself, but before you do, please read the following
warning and disclaimer.... "
