Laurah is recovering from Covid. Thanks for your patience!
Back in 2000, one of the first viral “haunted” Ebay auctions listed an allegedly cursed painting titled The Hands Resist Him; it was alleged to spark all kinds of supernatural activity, which surprised exactly no one who’d gazed upon the spooky work.
