The ground floor of the home was reduced to rubble, yet on item remained unscathed by the devastation of the house fire. There hanging unaffected by the blazing fire was a framed reprint of the crying boy portrait.
There have been several stories and alleged cases related to “The Crying Boy Portrait” suggesting that this was not the first time a home or building was ablaze, and the only object remaining was an untouched portrait of the crying child.
The bizarre story caught the attention of “The Sun” a newspaper in the United Kingdom, the front page cover story read: “Blazing Curse of the Crying Boy”.
