Horror stories that hide the most creepy pictures

The creations of artists do not leave people indifferent and cause a storm of emotions - from joy to tears. But there are also such paintings, the very sight of which makes one shudder. They say about some canvases that spirits live in them: from these paintings it blows cold when you pass by, it seems that the heroes of the canvases are watching you. They can drive their owners crazy and even kill them. It is not dangerous to look at these paintings through a monitor (but this is not accurate), but we do not advise you to look for them, much less buy and hang them in the bedroom.
