00:06Welcome to my channel. I'm your host.

00:08In 1999, a woman named Helen Morris bought a painting at a flea market in rural Indiana.

00:14It was cheap, just $25, and oddly beautiful.

00:19It showed a child sitting in front of a window, head slightly tilted, eyes wide and glassy.

00:24There was something unsettling about it, but Helen couldn't explain why.

00:28She felt drawn to it, though, so she hung it in her living room that night.

00:32By the next morning, things had already started.

00:35She woke up to find the painting on the floor, face down.

00:38The nail was still in the wall.

00:40The hook hadn't broken.

00:42It was as if someone had removed it on purpose.

00:45At first, Helen thought she must have done it in her sleep, but she never had and she didn't do it on purpose.

00:51Over the next few nights, Helen started having strange dreams.

00:54In every one, the child in the painting was moving.

00:58Not fast, but subtly.

01:00First its eyes would shift, then its hand would raise.

01:03One night, she dreamt the child got up and walked to the window and just stared at her.

01:08After that, she stopped sleeping.

01:10Well, something always felt off at night, like she wasn't alone in her own house.

01:15Then came the sounds.

01:16Scratching from inside the walls.

01:18The soft creaking of floorboards.

01:20Not in random spots, but directly under the painting.

01:23And then one morning, she noticed something terrifying.

01:26There were tear streaks running down the child's S face in the painting.

01:30Paint that hadn't been there before.

01:32She tried to rub them off, but they wouldn't budge.

01:35Not paint, not water damage.

01:37Just perfectly thin, dark streaks coming down from the eyes.

01:41Panicked, she took the painting to an appraiser.

01:44He told her something strange.

01:45The canvas had multiple layers, older paintings beneath the current one, that wasn't unusual for reused canvas.

01:52But what was strange is that all three layers were portraits of the same child, painted in slightly different poses.

01:59And in every one of them, the eyes were staring directly forward.

02:02Not to the side, not at the viewer, straight through.

02:05That night, Helen locked the painting in her attic.

02:09And for a few months, nothing happened.

02:11Until she started hearing crying.

02:13Very soft.

02:14Always coming from the ceiling.

02:16Eventually, she couldn't take it.

02:18She tried to destroy the painting.

02:19But when she pulled it out, the tear streaks were still wet.

02:23She gave it away to a local collector, who hung it in his gallery.

02:26Three weeks later, his entire office burned down.

02:29The cause was never determined.

02:32Everything was destroyed.

02:33Except the painting.

02:34It was found intact, barely even singed, lying face up in the middle of the ashes.

02:39Now, I have a question for you.

02:41Would you hang this painting in your house, or would you destroy it?
