Laurah is recovering from Covid. Thanks for your patience!  Back in 2000, one of the first viral “haunted” Ebay auctions listed an allegedly cursed painting titled The Hands Resist Him; it was alleged to spark all kinds of supernatural activity, which surprised exactly no one who’d gazed upon the spooky work. But was it actually plagued by any sort of ill-luck or tied to true ghostly activity?   Hosted and Written by Laurah Norton Research by Laurah Norton and Bryan Worters  Produced by Maura Currie  Engineered by Brandon Schexnayder    Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Join us on Patreon for early release and ad-free episodes, exclusive stories, and bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OneStrangeThing You can also subscribe to premium episodes on Apple Premium and Supercast!

We are very sorry we missed it.  Hosted and Written by Laurah Norton Research by Laurah Norton and Bryan Worters  Produced by Maura Currie  Engineered by Brandon Schexnayder    Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Join us on Patreon for early release and ad-free episodes, exclusive stories, and bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OneStrangeThing You can also subscribe to premium episodes on Apple Premium and Supercast!
