The infamous painting of a little girl, which has been deemed 'cursed', has been making headlines recently. After it was put up for sale in a charity shop in Hastings, East Sussex, with the warning: 'She's back!!! Sold twice and returned twice! Are you brave enough?', the painting has sparked much intrigue.
The new owner of the painting, James Kislingbury, the managing director of The London Bridge Experience, has faced plenty of misfortune since buying the painting. After it was put up in the entrance of the tourist attraction, James claims he and his staff have been 'blighted with bad luck.' He says the attraction has flooded twice since the painting arrived, and that on the day he brought the painting to the London Bridge Experience, their Wi-Fi went down and one of their TVs suffered an electrical fault.
James took the painting back to his family home in Reading one evening in late October to do a radio interview. He claims two of his appliances 'blew up' and his father-in-law was taken ill the same day. When he went on holiday with his family two weeks after buying the portrait, James says their trip was 'blighted' by the curse of the painting.
The painting has brought misery to whoever has owned it, but it has brought some good to the charity shop who sold it. A medium was hired to do a reading of the painting in November. She said the portrait has links to a hotel in Eastbourne, East Sussex and that the subject was likely dead when it was painted.
James said visitors have heard whispers and seen shadow people, as well as claiming their own appliances have blown up when they've returned home. He says he has no plans to part with the 'cursed' painting anytime soon, and has left it up in the reception area, despite taking down the other Halloween decorations.
It looks like this mysterious painting is here to stay, and despite the 'curse', James seems to have made peace with it. Let's hope it brings more luck than bad to him and his staff.
