As Above So Below
Haunted Painting Scares Owner into Selling It at Auction
A painting put up for auction in New Zealand recently based its value on the idea that it is haunted and, no surprise here, someone bought it.
“Purchased in Pauanui at Antique shop, suspect it is haunted, not cursed but suspect something came into the house with it."
"Fell off the wall one night, and another night a shadowy figure was cast (moving) from the upstairs room window where painting is hung (no one in room) investigated and my own shadow was cast onto the driveway when I looked out the window….creepy….partner asleep and no one else in house."
"Selling as it’s just too creepy to have. Great for someone who is interested in the paranormal.”
Someone WAS interested in this painting, called “Haunted Painting – Soul Bowl (Acrylic)” on its TradeMe.com listing, and won the auction yesterday with a final bid of $150.
Perhaps it could have gone for more if the seller had taken a little more time and photographed the painting in a nicer setting – it was shown leaning against a car’s bumper in a garage and one picture included a set of bare feet.
An inscription on the side reads “Soul is a bowl” but no explanation is given or speculated. In the comments and FAQs, the seller says the artist’s name is Jill and is possibly local.
