<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 4488463, member: 27"]Ive told this story before but here goes ! I was living in Orlando Fl and bought an antique print mainly for the frame from a garage sale. As I was taking it apart to clean it I found a turn of the century photo of a very handsome young man. I was thrilled but my partner said from the git go it gave him the creeps. I cared not (I was young and still selfish) and hung it . Immediately bad things started happening. </p><p><br /></p><p>We had moved there a few months prior for my partners job transfer,and suddenly they laid him off. The landlord told us he was selling the house and we had 30 days to find somewhere else. My partner fell and broke his wrist,the car started acting up,etc,etc. Im talking a serious run of bad luck ! Now Im superstitious though I know some think thats poppycock ,and I was convinced something was wrong. One day I was sitting there lamenting and I glanced at the picture of the young man and I just KNEW it had something to do with him! Silly,right ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I stood up,took him off the wall,went out to the back porch and threw him on the grill,frame and all,and burned it to ashes.The very next day partners job calls him back,then over the next week the landlord informs us he wasnt selling,the car repairs wich I feared would be horrendous turned out to be $50,everything did a complete 180. Coincidence? probably. But Im convinced that good looking young man was evil. As an aside,Ive never bought old portraits ever again ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
