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...

Texas Republicans Lock Dem State Rep. In Capitol After She Refuses To Leave With Mandatory Police Escort

Democratic Texas state Representative Nicole Collier is making national headlines for refusing to cede to Republicans' demands that she sign a permission slip to be under escort by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Collier was among dozens of Democrats who bolted from Texas earlier this month to block a Trump-backed redistricting plan designed to tilt the 2026 midterms toward Republicans. Some lawmakers returned Monday for a second special session, but GOP House Speaker Dustin Burrows ordered state troopers to escort them out of the chamber to stop another walkout.
