About this listen

 In 1972, artist Bill Stoneham painted The Hands Resist Him, a haunting image of a boy, a doll, and countless ghostly hands pressing against a glass door. Years later, the painting resurfaced on eBay with claims that its figures moved at night and even escaped the frame. In this episode of Hexed: Stories of Cursed Objects, Mark Houston explores how one work of art became known as the most haunted painting in the world, blurring the line between creation and curse.
