I usually listen to these while driving, so the description of “Robert” made me think of the brother from Everybody Loves Raymond but as a dangerous stalker
The portrait of the little boy was a very popular series 1970s. In fact, my older sisters bought one for my parents. It remained in place over the mantlepiece for decades. It's definitely not cursed or whatever, it is, as you said, essentially fireproof. Apparently the painting was covered by a varnish which was also a fire retardant. FYI, if something is reported by The Sun, give it no weight whatsoever. It's barely defined as a newspaper.
What's the appeal of looking at an image of an upset child? I mean, at least in a painting it's wailing can't be heard, but it's still an image of pain/frustration/exhaustion/anger/injustice... Wanting, and then keeping such a thing, regardless of whether a bunch of other people are doing it, seems absolutely insane to me. If anyone can help me understand the appeal, or the social context that led to people considering these decorative, rather than torture-pron, I'm deeply curious.
@@lynn858 don't ask me, my sisters were teens, the print was popular and probably cheap enough for them. My mum wouldn't have done anything to offend them so it went on the wall. The version we had wasn't particularly sad, it actually looked like a "proper painting", but I did occasionally wonder what it was about. I think it would have been binned when Mum went into a care home because I can't remember seeing it when visiting Dad after (I live a long way from home). It definitely wasn't there when he died.
Wonder if Robert inspired the BNL song "Just a toy"... My favorite line is "I call him liar, you call him son If I could move, I'd set him on fire and I'd run" and the refrain "I know you must've loved me sometime, but now I'm just a toy"
5:23 a kid was strangled to death when his bicycle chain became dislodged and got wrapped around his neck. The series of impossible events that would have to happen in order for that to happen are beyond the realm of even a Harry Potter series.
Can a person be a “cursed object”? A kid threw rocks at me-died from where someone suspended a wire or rope over an ATV trail he was on. Another kid years before jabbed me with a pencil during a prank and died when trying to jump a train and fell under it. A fast food place I worked for closed. Another allegedly burned down and was rebuilt (although that could also be because the fast food places in general revamped designs of buildings). A school district I worked for merged into another and no longer exists. A camera chain I worked for was acquired by another and after I left for another job, that one went out of business. A drug store chain I worked briefly went out of business. Two Halloween stores I worked for vanished from at least the region (not Spirit-they are everywhere!). A casino hotel I worked for closed (but reopened as just a hotel). Finally, a professional photolab I worked for closed and the building was bought by a microbrewery. Family history has mentioned an ancestor of a mysterious branch of the family tree was a witch who put a curse on her daughter and grandson, who are direct ancestors to me.
Ok i have a few thoughts. 1st i think all dolls are creepy and the way "Robert" is constructed is just creepy. Id have it in my apt. Just to dispell any curses that it might have on it. 2nd who would want a painting of a crying boy or girl or any crying anybody for that matter. They are just too stinking depressing. 3rd anyone who uses parts from a wrecked car, aircraft, boat, train, anything where a death is involved is asking for problems. A guy that found some bricks that was part of the wall were the victims of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre were lined up against before they were gunned down. There were bullett holes and splatters of blood on them. He brought home i think 3 of thes bricks (why? I have no idea) and his life went downhill after that 3 divorces, 3 seperate medical problems etc etc. He finally brought the bricks and back put them right were he found them. His life got increasingly better. There was an situation where an airplane crashed and alot of people lost their lives. Salvageable parts from the crashed airplane were used in another airplane. And the ghosts of the dead crew started showing up in the airplane that the parts were used in. Just food for thought. Have a great day everyone
5:07 "en flagrate delcatto" (that's what it sounds like, and that's how the captions read) ... Did you mean "en flagrante delicto"??? Flagrate versus flagrante is only one sound, an easy mistake. But what is delcatto? That's nothing LIKE delicto. Any way I try to Google en flagrate delcatto, it keeps returning to en flagrante delicto. Do you know of a Latin saying Google doesn't?
Yeh a few people reading these on screen likely haven't looked up pronunciations in many of these videos. I forget the one I heard the other day, it broke my brain a bit.
Its not quite an object... but my sister had chinchillas. They were never let out of their cage unsupervised, but when things went missing they were usually found under the cage. We figure it was probably my sisters' friends or a younger cousin who was playing a private game but honestly there is no evidence as to what the actual explanation is.
I know your saying the list show . Because I never heard the “T”in liste. I kept wondering why is this called the Liz show since the host name is not Liz.
Same sometimes, I feel like they are just doing the same over and over. I do enjoy the different host views though. But yea alot of information that we all know so well now.
Killing your contractor is obviously an American standard of customer redress. Many Americans revere the grifters' talent and will even elect them to public office, as long as he is a devout Christian. "I'm the most Christian POTUS in American history" said one grifter, and two Corinthians agreed with him.
I believe in these so-called curses also I need some last-minute items for the family are any of these available wells they love me, just showing some back :D, I wouldn't do that after all, I love them even though they loathe me.
The Ouija Board is another, it looks harmless, but by the time you try to use it communicate with spirits, it opens an invisible portal for a demon to enter the person's life who uses it, haunting him / her forever until the person is exorcised.

Personally I think more curses should manifest on objects in possession of various European/American museums
Well, there is a story about a Siberian shamans outfit in Copenhagen. But not that horrible.
How about a list about the origins of Animal Myths, like the groundhog seeing its shadow, or the ostrich burying its head in the sand?
I figured Busby's Chair would make the list.
How does a bicycle chain get around someone's neck
Return the amethyst, or find a girl named Abbigail to eat it.
still trying to figure out what makes Erin so pleasant to listen to and watch.
The minor use of "Vocal Fry".
Very easy on the eyes.
She's simply delightful 😊
Strangeling anybody with a dislodged bicycle chain is a remarkable feat.

The yogurt is also cursed...
Oh no
Can i go now?
I always look forward to your videos and you never disappoint
Thanks for handling Tom's death with nuance. He was my lecturer, half a lifetime ago.
I'm surprised no mention of the hope diamond

None of these artifacts have anything on Pelagius' Hip Bone.
List show about accidental discoveries
We did something like that way back: ua-cam.com/video/YgdDQWW-7gE/v-deo.html But could definitely consider another ep w/ the same theme!
@@MentalFloss that would be cool
I don't know which one I think is cursed most...

I came from watching chills 10 supposedly cursed UA-cam videos. It was really bizarre.

Full support and send love , I like your videos 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

In flagrante delicto, not delgado.
I was really hoping to hear about something new. These are well covered stories.
Same sometimes, I feel like they are just doing the same over and over. I do enjoy the different host views though. But yea alot of information that we all know so well now.
Or don't buy a painting of a crying child? That just seems weird.
Very weird. I'm hoping someone can explain the phenomena.

I don’t know what to do with my hands.
She has two first names
Your mom knows what you do with your hands! She just pretends she doesn't!
Never trust anyone with an Irish name.
Some trust me.

Lmao no. It's was created by a boardgame company and the name Quija is even trademarked.
You know spirits and demons aren't real, right? 😬
