Based around a true story of a painting called 'the crying boy' painted by Bruno Amadio after the second world war. The portrait represented the children orphaned after the war. The prints made their way into the Uk and Europe and many house fires were blamed on the picture which came out unscathed. My story is fictional and has no connection to the facts of the pictures that were soon thought of as cursed. It begins in 1915 when children go missing in a residential area of Deadwood in Pinestork. Soon a body of a man is found at his burnt down house with a painting which survived the fire which resembles one of the missing children. Many decades later the ghost of one of the missing children try's to warn a blind girl Rosie of an evil that lurks beyond the cursed painting of the Crying Boy.
