Haunted Objects, Part 1: Dybbuk Box, Cursed Paintings and Mirrors

The featured artworks are Bill Stoneham’s The Hands Resist Him, Bruno Amadio’s Crying Boy series, a Painting of a Headless Man attributed in the source to Laura P. and Edvard Munch’s The Dead Mother. The episode then turns to Kentucky’s Conjured Chest and the so-called Chair of Death in Philadelphia.

The final objects are the mirror at Myrtles Plantation, the Dybbuk Box, a mirror associated with Bela Lugosi and a mirror said to have belonged to Titanic captain Edward Smith. Provenance and supernatural claims vary widely, so the episode treats the alleged curses as stories while identifying artists and historical figures where the record permits.
