| ArtofAngels said: The story is this, in Japan shortly before a teenage girl comitted suicide, she drew this picture, scanned it and posted it online. In korea this story broke out and it spread like wildfire. There are various posts around in korean forums that say that the viewer gets drawn to the girls blue eyes, they say they can detect a hint of wraith and sadness within the eyes. Maybe the girl had died with so much sadness and anger that her spirit haunts the image, or maybe the image provoke sadness, similar to the song 'Gloomy Sunday'. |
seen that pic years ago, however, the story i read was a lot different; taking place in Thailand (or some other country near it, if i'm mistaken), its one of those tragic stories of a man, an artist, who lost his girlfriend, became so depressed, and committed suicide, painting this picture before that...
another story behind it that i read a few years back was that it was from america. apparently, a man was greatly obsessed with a truly beautiful women. strangely, the people who were close to him have never heard, seen or met her, despite his constant mention of her (btw, as for her name, it was some common name like julia or alice or something like that). one day, strangely, the guy was deeply depressed, painted the picture and.... well, y'know......
if there's anything to conclude right now, it'd be that, as creepy as that pic is, there is no definitive story behind it. heck, for all we know, it could be some who's still happily alive who was drawing a portrait of someone and made it creepy by accident, and had his/her friends made stories out of it that kinda spread out of hand....
