The Hands Resist Him

It appeared on eBay in 2,000. The sellers claimed it was a haunted painting and it was an instant eBay hit. The listing had over 30,000 page views and the winning bid was for a staggering $1,025. Rather a lot of money for a painting that was found discarded behind a brewery. The Hands Resist Him is now one of the most famous haunted paintings in the world, and this is regardless of the fact that is would appear that it is nothing more than a normal painting with an unusual theme. Hype sells and some people just cannot resist getting their hands on something that is believed to have a supernatural bonus thrown in for free: The Hands Resist Him, a Lesson in Hype.
