Twitter user @dearlucy spotted the painting in a charity shop's window with a hilarious note attached.

You saw it once. You saw it again. The possibly cursed painting was returned to a charity shop twice, and now it has gone viral.

The Twitterverse has become fascinated with a painting after user @dearlucy tweeted a photo of the 'possibly cursed' art with an attached note that read:


“She’s back!!!”
“Sold twice and returned twice! Are you brave enough???”

This tweet in and of itself reeled people in, but then a new development had the social media platform completely enthralled.

It turns out, the second sale of the painting was documented in July.

A friend of the purchaser—and returner—confirmed "there is SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT PiCTURE."

But given the media frenzy surrounding the portrait, that purchaser bought the painting once more, this time to auction it on eBay and give proceeds to the charity shop.

The friend also revealed they inspected the painting and were even more disturbed.

"UPDATE!"
"She's more intense in person. Pastel. Original. Looks like facial bruising."
"We wondered why it's so heavy. There was dried tape over the seal behind the frame, so we peeled it back and THERE ARE LAYERS OF GLASS AND PLASTIC BEHIND THE PICTURE."
"What is in there?!"

But they didn't care to find out.

People on social media were both mesmerized and terrified.







And, as anticipated, others instantly turned the portrait (and the note) into hilarious memes.



The shop's manager Steve told The Telegraph that nothing out of the ordinary was observed about the painting until the first purchaser returned it.

“[She] said ‘I’ve got to get rid of this picture’ and that it had an ‘aura about it,’ so we put it in the window [with a sign] saying ‘possibly cursed.'"

And now we know how the rest played out.

For now...

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
