A supposedly “cursed” portrait of a young girl has fetched a staggering sum of over $2,000 in an online auction.
The eerie tale of the “cursed” portrait began when the painting gained notoriety while on display at an English charity shop, according to Sky News. A warning label attached to it declared, “She’s back!!! Sold twice and returned twice! Are you brave enough?”
Zoe Elliott-Brown, the most recent purchaser, told ITV’s This Morning, she had been chased by a “black figure” after acquiring the artwork, promptly returning it to the charity shop.
In a surprising twist, Elliott-Brown later repurchased the portrait and decided to auction it on eBay. The bidding fervor was undeniable, with the final offer soaring to $2097, three times the original purchase price.
