We have often heard of inanimate objects acting ghostly. Through this article, I will specifically tell you about some paintings with dripping emotions that, if the evidence and stories are to be believed, are haunted.
5. Man Proposes, God Disposes: During every exam, the painting is covered in Union Jack flag so that it doesn’t impact the sanity of students.
Artist: Edwin Landseer
Over 160 years ago, an Arctic ship of Sir John Franklin had vanished. As per the recent findings, not everyone who was on the ship perished, in fact, some of them were cannibalised. This painting is in relevance to the same ship and is known to carry a strange curse.
The painting decorates (Read haunt) the picture gallery of Royal Holloway College at the University of London, the gallery which is used during exam times. And as the story goes, the painting is associated with students’ failure and so, every time an exam is conducted there, the painting is covered by Union Jack flag so that students don’t feel distressed.
A rumour goes that when the college first started as a women’s institution, a girl taking her exam in the same room got so frustrated by the painting that she killed herself, whilst still at her desk.

6. The Dead Mother: Owners report hearing the rustling of the bedsheets of the dead woman in the painting
Artist: Edvard Munch
The artist of the famed The Scream lost his mother to tuberculosis when he was just 5. Just like The Scream exhibits sheer agony in a man, this painting too is an attempt to capture the trauma a young one faces at the death of a parent. People who have owned the image have claimed that the wide eyes of the girl seem to follow their movements. More so, some have also claimed to have heard the rustling of the bed sheets of the dead women.
