More Poems

-Banshee
Within my voice is the sound of bones
snapping, torsion of dry joints
grinding cupped sockets.
A fine ear may hear the high pitch of tension
bent before the relieving snap,
or like dice against dice
nubs crushed in a jaw
where wet teeth crack
as the tarsals split.
A mere whisper flays skin
paper-thin from hot flesh.
In my voice is the sound of valves
clogged in thickening drubs
of blood; the drowning fight
to force the silt slugging
dense as lead in the heart.
My scream stops birds dead in midair.
Crows fall to the ground like stones.

-Call of the Kindred
Come to me, little mortal
I can bring you to heaven's portal
There'll be no sorrow, there'll be no pain
Feelings of joy will fill your brain.
Come to me, sweet human thing
Give me your heart and I'll make it sing
Forget your fears, leave them behind
Forget the troubles of your kind.
Come to me... yes, that's right
Now hold still, it's no good to fight
I'll take your blood, and leave you dying
Didn't you realize I could be lying?

___________________________

-My Fate
Burn your fears in the eyes of death
collapsing dreams, dominating power
summoning lightning storms under silent breath
burning the weak under the church bell tower.
Army's of god rumbling in the distance
through the forest seeking my radiance
shining into lost souls of the all mighty one
dark rivers of blood streaming toward the sun .
Sun rises full of memories , enchanted stories
as carcasses disintegrate into the earth's crust
death became my living glory
until I meet my fate ill be swirling up the dust.
Taking satanic rituals into society's eyes
re-writing the holy book of lies
creating a new path for man kind
where only honor you can find.

-What's Wrong With Me?
Mom says where's your homework
And take a bath, you reek.
Mom says change your underwear
Jeez, I did that just last week.
It's strange I can't remember things
Now doesn't that seem weird?
My head is empty, dull and blank
My past had disappeared.
Maybe I'm a zombie kid
A dead amnesiac.
And when mommy's fast asleep tonight
Perhaps I'll have a snack.
Mom sounds quite delicious
I know I can't abstain.
A little bit of innards
A smorgasborg of brain.
So no more silly homework
No dumb bedtime curfew
And I'll never change my underwear
'Cause zombies never do.

-Not The Wind

Your body filled with a dreadful chill, 
Stared at your desk, and the white old quill. 
Windy night, the quill moved slight, 
You turned the switch, seeking light.

No light came, the bulb was dead, 
You thought of going back to bed. 
Suddenly noticed, quill moved slight, 
You approached, with all your might.

Not the wind, window was closed, 
Heart raced, a message exposed. 
You read in horror, ink was red, 
"Not the wind, go back to bed!"
_________________________

-Phone
That feeling like you're all alone, 
They're all gone, you grab your phone. 
Quickly scrolling through your list, 
Phone is bleeding down your wrist.

You bring the phone to your ear, 
Low sad voice, you begin to hear. 
Voice whispers, don't look back, 
You slowly glance, it's all black.

Dropped the phone, as you run, 
You fall over, a bloody gun. 
In your pocket, you hear a ring, 
You reach in, you feel a sting.

Poison hits you, right away, 
It is clear, you're the prey. 
You look back, they lay alone, 
Holding on, to their phone.

-Cries
As a child, I played in the forest nearby, 
One evening I heard, a little girl cry, 
It was obvious she was lost, 
In the middle of winters frost.

I ran out in a frantic search, 
Bells rang in our local church, 
Ran faster, followed the cries, 
My fear for her, began to rise.

Cries turned into a continuous weep, 
I never felt emotions so deep. 
Looked up, dropped to my knees, 
A dying crow, I saw in the trees.
_________________________

-Ghost
Woke one night, with a pain, 
Hair was soaked, pillow stain. 
There was nothing I could hear, 
A human shadow did appear.

Slowly crept out of bed, 
Stunned I stood, as I bled. 
Could not hear the dripping sound, 
As my blood, soaked the ground.

Could not move, I was engrossed, 
As I stared at the ghost. 
He was missing his right ear, 
The ghost was me, it was clear.
________________________

-Scary Room
There's a ghost in my room, 
And a Witch on a broom, 
Vampires under my bed, 
A headless monster in the shed.

All these characters are pretty scary, 
The Werewolf is very hairy, 
They always seem to appear at night, 
To protect me, I need a Knight.

Which one do I fear the most? 
It's gotta be that ugly ghost, 
Always walking without a head, 
He calls himself, Mr. Fred.
_____________________

-Butcher Shop
He lived on the east side of town, 
Anger filled his evil frown. 
20 years he worked the shop, 
Mastered threats and the chop.

He worked best during heavy fog, 
Searched for victims that would jog. 
Threw them right into his van, 
To cause sorrow was his plan.

He made sure to chop each limb, 
But first he'd tear off all their skin. 
When they yelled, oh please, oh stop, 
He'd smile and say - "Welcome to my butcher shop!"

Purple Forest (Japanese song)

In a certain place…
Long, long ago…
There was a certain forest. 
In this forest a voice could be constantly heard,
No one knew who this voice belonged,
For no matter whoever went into the forest,
That person never came out.
The people of the area grew to fear this place,
And named it the purple forest.
Dew to the gorgeous purple haze,
That constantly surrounded it.
A time came…
When a certain traveller by the name of Minato arrived in those parts.
Not aware of the customs warnings or even the traditions of the area,
He ventured into the forest,
Unaware of glorious eye's watching him as he went.

"Deep inside this dark forest"
"I sit all alone singing a tune"
"The gentle sound of the wind"
"Is a sacred whisper,"
"That heals that deep loneliness"
"Within my heart."

Upon hearing this strange voice the traveller Minato turned quickly,
And saw something very strange.
A woman…
A beautiful young woman with glorious crimson hair stood before him,
Smiling kindly at him,
She curtsied and said
"Hello dear traveller."
"My name is Kushina, how do you do?"
"You must be tired from walking so,"
"Come…sit by me and rest your weary legs,"
"And I shall sing you a lovely tune."
The traveller was at first cautious of this woman,
But her looks and charm quickly won him over,
And soon found himself sitting on the forest floor,
Captivated by her singing.
But the longer the traveller stayed…
The less he was able to notice his surroundings,
And he failed to see the violet mist hugging the two more and more than before…
The traveller grew weary and thought it best to rest his head on the woman's lap.
As she stroked his golden mane.
When the traveller came too,
He noticed the beautiful woman leading him somewhere,
"Where are we going? Where are you taking me?"
But the woman giggled at him,
And continued to lead him,
Until eventually they arrived at a place…
One would deem paradise.
The place was full of various flowers, 
Some of which the traveller had never seen before in his life,
A gorgeous rainbow waterfall was at its very heart,
And brilliant but bountiful fruit covered the various trees.

"Why don't you…"
"Stay with me…"
"Forever"
"You can stay here…"
And never have to worry about anything…"
"Ever, ever again."
"Wouldn't you like that…?"
"Minato?"

The traveller Minato…
Did not even ask…
How this strange woman knew his name,
But he instead agreed…
With that woman,
Kushina,
As she pulled him in,
To kiss him.

Deep…
Deep inside the purple forest…
You will find a lone woman today…
Still singing a glorious tune,
And on her lap… 
Is a tunic,
That belonged once upon a time,
To a man named Minato,
Who is, for reasons unknown,
No longer physically in the forest,
But his voice can be heard riding the wind,
As can several others be heard,
As the woman Kushina sings.
Waiting…
Some day,
For you to wander in…
So that she may never be alone.

The Story With No End


One Thursday afternoon when Casey came home from school 
she realized her mothers car was not in the drive way. At first 
she was startled but then she remembered that her mother had 
to work late and told her the spare key would be under the mat 
at the back door. 

She went to the back door and reached under the mat for it, 
but it was not there! She then reached up for the door knob 
and it surprisingly it was unlocked! She entered figuring her 
mother couldn't find the spare key and left the door open. 
Right away she noticed the radio blasting and the TV just as 
loud. Besides that, at first, everything was just fine. THUD! 
She suddenly heard a huge crashing noise from upstairs. 

After a while she got enough courage to go up there and see 
what it was. When she reached the top of the stairs she looked 
around for a while, everything was absolutely fine. She was so 
startled that she rushed down the stairs practically tripping 
over her own two feet. By this time she was completely 
freaked out. 

She left her house and ran next door to her neighbors for help. 
Without knocking she quickly entered to find her neighbor 
beaten and stabbed, laying on the kitchen floor. She reached 
for the nearest phone to immediately call 911. As she grabbed 
the cordless phone and turned it on, it felt as if she was being 
watched. First, she pressed 9 and heard thundering footsteps. 
Then as she dialed the first 1 the footsteps grew louder and 
closer and sounded as if they began to run towards her. Before 
she dialed the last number she froze and without thinking, she 
quickly spun around and was~

The Phone Call


A woman was at home alone one day,
The phone rang, she picked it up and said "Hello?" 
The voice on the phone answered "I'm the Viper I'm coming up the stairs I'm on the last step."
She was a little worried, but she shrugged it off and convinced herself it was just a prank call.
About 10 minutes later the phone rang again.
She picked it up and said "Hello?" the voice answered, "I'm the Viper I'm at the middle of the staircase."
She started thinking maybe this isn't a prank call and started to get really scared.
10 minutes later the phone rang yet a again.
The voice said "I'm the Viper I'm at your door."
She was about to dial the police when the door opened.
A short kind looking man stood at the door and said "I'm the Viper, I've come to vash your vindows."

Krampus


He sees you when you’re sleeping. The Krampus that is. You all know who the Krampus is, right? That diabolical figure covered in black fur, with horns like a goat, cloven hooves and a long red tongue? You better watch out. The Krampus is the legendary Christmas counterpart to Saint Nicholas, who punishes the naughty children while Nick gives the good ones gifts. Sure, he didn’t really make the trip across the pond, but over in Europe he was and still is a popular part of the holiday season. You better not cry, you better not pout. The spooky figure dragging rusty chains who snatches up bad children, swatting the naughty with birch switches, stuffing the worst in his sack to carry off.
He’s the central figure of theKrampuslaufen, when people dress up like devils, get drunk on schnapps, and run through town. This is the myth that artist-turned-author Brom decided to revitalize with the nice holiday story,Krampus: The Yule Lord. Weaving the folklore in with ethnography and more than a few very clever pieces of Norse mythology, he delivers a story that will make you a fan and celebrant ofKrampusnacht and Yule. Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.
I’ve liked Brom for a while now…in fact, I think I can tell you the year I became a fan of Brom: 1994. I had probably seen his work before then, but when I picked up the newest Shadowrun module, Harlequin’s Back, I knew I had to find out more about the cover artist. That moment there crystalized a broader awareness of how roleplaying books and roleplaying illustration exist in a symbiosis, a gestalt, and made me take active note of people like Tony DiTerlizzi and Larry MacDougall and to just start paying attention to who was putting those pictures next to the statistics and game mechanics.
The relationship between the pagan Yule traditions—at least, Brom’s version of them, which he talks about in more depth in the book’s appendix—and the Christian heritage of Santa Claus is at the root of the book, which deal with the appropriation of winter solstice rituals into Christianity on a fictionalized, supernatural level. Krampus begins chained, hidden away, a heathen creature forgotten, betrayed by Santa Claus, shoved under the rug in order to focus on a sanitized version of the former fertility festival. Locked up, the Krampus has plenty of time to focus on one thing: Revenge!
How the Norse mythology gets dragged into the book is actually really the brilliant bit. I suppose it is a bit of a spoiler, but again, since I just read Song of the Vikings, I sort of need to talk about it; you could skip this paragraph and the next, if you are concerned about remaining in the dark, but I don’t think it will ruin your enjoyment of the story if you don’t. Because the Germanic traditions of Yule are connected to Norse mythology, Brom draws two elegant lines, connecting both Krampus and Santa to the gods of Asgard. Krampus is the son of Hel, daughter of Loki, queen of the underworld. He is the Horned Lord, the revitalizer of the Earth when the dark of winter lays upon the land.
Now, the twist behind Santa Claus is the more contentious and cunning origin if you ask me. You know the story of Baldr the Brave, Baldr the Beautiful, Baldr the Best, beloved son of Odin and Frigg. Everything loved Baldr…except Loki. Because Baldr was so adored, everything in the world swore to his mother Frigg that it would never harm Baldr…except Frigg didn’t bother to get little old harmless mistletoe to agree. Add in Loki, the blind god Hoder, and as you’d expect…that sprig of mistletoe kills off Baldr. Chekhov’s Herb, if you will. Well, that ain’t all she wrote for Baldr; after Ragnarok, when everyone dies? He comes back to life…and that, my friends, is the secret origin of Santa Claus.
The biggest problem I have with Krampus is the same problem I have with a few other of Brom’s novels: the human element. I realize that the no-account young man who over the course of a novel learns an important lesson about standing up for himself is a major theme of literature. Heck, I realize that the Refusal of the Call is standard fare for the Campbellian Hero’s Journey, one of the mythic underpinnings of narrative. I just…don’t like the protagonist for the bulk of the book. Jesse’s just too sniveling, too full of self-loathing and self-doubt. I agree with the villains when they talk down to him; he deserves it! I don’t find the character likable, not for a long stretch of the book. Luckily, once the Krampus comes onto the page, he just chews up the scenery: Jesse’s pathetic but the Krampus is delightful.
What this book achieved, in the end, is something important, I think: it made me want to put out shoes for the Krampus to fill with gold coins. It made me want to get gelt, those chocolate gold coins, to put in other people’s shoes. The Krampus made me want to drink Schnaps—the German stuff, not the sugary American stuff—put on horns and run around in the snow. Ultimately, it made me want to participate in the holiday tradition of the Krampus, to put him side by side with Santa Claus and Rudolph and George Bailey and John McClane and the Doctor Who Christmas Special.
he knows if you’ve been bad or good…so be good for goodness sake!

The Telephone Police

2 years ago, a kid called Martin Mcdowell and Simon Lao use to play by the telephone, they used to try numbers on thier telephone and if the number dialed correctly they used to say something scarey and then hang up. So once, Simon Lao dialed 0581028 and the number dialed correctly.
"Hello." answered the woman on the telephone.
"Your son just fell off the cliff." Simon replied and the hanged the phone.
"How about that?" Simon asked Martin.
"It was so boring, man. I'll show you how to do it right." replied Martin.Then Martin dialed 0619015.
Then a lady answered.
"hello" said the lady.
"hey you! you better give me the money before i kill you" said Martin.
"i am sorry, this is a wrong number" said the lady in a shaking voice.
Then Martin hanged up.
Then suddenly the bell rang. " I'll get it" said Martin.
After a few minutes Simon heard Martin shrieking for help.
Simon ran to see what happened. But there was no one. There was a trail of blood. So Simon followed it and after thirty minutes of following the trail there was a telephone. It started ringing. Simon stepped towards the phone slowly and picked it up.
"He-ll-o" Simon said while he was shaking.
"Help!, Help me please!" said Martin the hanged up. So the trail of blood went on, and Simon followed it more and more. And then he found ten men. One of them picked him up and threw in the back of the truck. He found Martin there too but he was dead.
But then Simon woke up from his nightmare.
" thanks god it was a nightmare" said Simon. But when he woke up he saw that Martin was dead for real.

Daughters Nightmare


"Daddy, I had a bad dream." You blink your eyes and pull up on your elbows. Your clock glows red in the darkness - it's 3:23.

"Do you want to climb into bed and tell me about it?"

"No, Daddy."

The oddness of the situation wakes you up more fully. You can barely make out your daughter's pale form in the darkness of your room.

"Why not, sweetie?"

"Because, in my dream, when I told you about the dream, the thing wearing Mommy's skin sat up." For a moment, you feel paralyzed; you can't take your eyes off of your daughter. The covers behind you shift.


(Basically the daughter's just told him that whatever's in the bed next to him isn't his wife. Someone gave me the idea. i dont know...... Just pretend it wasnt a waste of your time lol.)

Dream Girl


The first time I dreamed about her, she was naked. Her body was wrapped in movie film, like some kind of sexy mummy. She didn't say anything to me; she just turned to me and started crying, her big eyes filling up then overflowing with huge, shiny tears. Kids' tears, I thought in my dream.
She wasn't the kind of girl I usually dream about. She was slender, with hardly any breasts and only the barest hint of hips. She had a small, heart-shaped face with a splatter of light freckles across her small, upturned nose. Her eyes were a deep green and her hair was cut in one of those bobs that are longer in the front. I remember thinking she was too cute for a wet dream.
The film was wrapped around her torso, but it shifted as she moved, revealing glimpses of her teacup breasts and the dark hair below, winding down to her thighs and trailing onto the floor behind her.
I woke up the next morning feeling depressed and worn out, which was odd. Normally, I woke up from naked girl dreams feeling ready to face the day - kick ass and take names. That morning, however, I felt like I was dragging myself through my morning routine. I couldn't shake the crying girl's face out of my mind.
As I lethargically tapped buttons on my keyboard at work, I tried to place her face. Had I seen her here at work? Was she at the coffee shop downstairs? I felt like I knew her from somewhere...high school? It was driving me nuts.
I was still brooding about it on my way home, leaning against the glass wall of the bus stop and chewing on the corner of my lip. Suddenly, something caught my eye on the ground. There was a little cluster of litter trapped in the corner: a coffee cup, a flier for some rock concert, cigarette butts, and a short strip of film. My heart shivered a little, but I bent down and picked it up. It was six frames of a dark movie. I held it up to the sunlight and there she was...my dream girl.
The first frame showed her cowering in a corner, trying to cover her nakedness with her arms, her feet pulled up under her and her face turned to the wall. Her neck was pale and smooth, but there was a bruise rising there as if someone had grabbed her roughly where her neck met her shoulder.
There was a shadow cast over her. It got bigger in each frame and, in the sixth, I could see the barest sliver of an arm. It was a big, muscular one covered in dense, dark hair. the girl hardly moved in the frames, just curling deeper into the corner.
I looked around but couldn't find any more film on the ground. I went home feeling ill, my heart heavier than ever. I tossed and turned all light and when I was finally asleep, I dreamed of her again. She turned toward me again, her big eyes full of tears. "Who are you?" I tried to ask, but couldn't make any sound. She began crying. "Help me," she said, her voice thick with sadness.
I woke up with my pillow soaked with tears.
I called out of work that day. I felt like my heart was breaking. I hadn't felt that way since my dad's funeral, three years before. I stayed in bed, curled up and moping, until ten or so, when I got up to use the bathroom. I stood over the toilet and noticed that peeking out from behind the tank was a strip of film. My hands shook as I picked it up. It was longer than the first at a whole twenty frames.
The man drew closer to the girl in each frame, his hand reaching for her. The angle of the camera cut him off at chest level, never showing his face. He was of broad build and covered in dark hair. He was naked, too, so I could even see the hair covering his ass. The girl cringed further down but, in the last frame, his hand closed around her upper arm.
I was shaking all over. My heart seemed to actually ache in my chest. I could feel it throb with each beat. I spent the day in bed, with my blanket pulled over my head. I drowsed a little in the afternoon...and dreamed.
The girl was crying harder than ever, her whole body shaking and her chest hitching madly in and out. "Stop!" I tried to scream at her. "Stop crying! You're breaking my heart" The girl only looked at me with those big eyes filled with tears. "Please," she sobbed, "Please help me."
I woke up, my own chest hitching with tears. "Who the hell are you?" I yelled, the sound of my own voice scaring me enough to let out a thin shriek. My neighbor pounded on the wall in retaliation. I jumped out of bed and threw on clothes. I needed to get out of the apartment, feeling I'd suffocate if I didn't.
I pounded down the two flights of stairs to the lobby and ran out into the twilight. I stood on the bottom stair for a moment, sucking in deep breaths and trying to calm myself when...there, on the ground, fluttering in the light breeze, was another strip of film. This time, it was over six feet long.
I held it up and the streetlight above me flickered on. The man was dragging the girl across the room, throwing her face down across a table. He yanked her legs around and began to rape her. My stomach turned and I had to look away, but I felt my eyes drawn back, dragged back, and ran them down the rest of the film.
The girl tried to fight and crawl away, but the man punched her hard in the back, grabbed her by the hair, and slammed her face down onto the table. In the last frame, there was a trickle of blood running across the table, dripping from her nose and mouth.
I threw the film back on the ground. The breeze picked it up and it went curling down the street, tangling around a stop sign. I followed it and saw another strip down the street tied to a sign reading, "SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY." The film wound and curled its way around the corner and disappeared on the next street. My feet began walking that way. I tried to stop, as I didn't want to know where that film led, but I continued moving anyway.
It felt like I followed that film for miles, weaving through neighborhoods I didn't know and stepping over hobos sleeping on sidewalks. Sometimes the film wound around poles and signs and I caught bits of the images it held: he raped her, beat her, raped her some more, and beat her some more; she was covered in cuts and welt and was hardly recognizeable by the end.
Finally, the film began winding down a narrow alley choked with garbage. It dove under a pile of metal scraps that had fallen against a wall and disappeared there. I began pulling the metal aside; it was heavy and there was a lot of it. I uncovered a rusty steel door, held shut by the debris for god knows how long. I kept pulling the metal aside until I could yank the door open.
It was dark inside and I could hear a fan blowing endlessly. I went in, pulling my lighter from my coat pocket as I did. I flicked the wheel and saw the movie from the film strips. There was an old projector set up on the table and a man sitting in a chair next to it, facing the blank white wall.
"Hey, I said. The man didn't move. The fans whirred on and on. I stepped closer. "Hey." Nothing. I drew closer and my lighter's flame finally fell on him. He was dead - long dead. The fans whirring endlessly somewhere in the darkness had dried him out completely; his skin was stretched tight over bones and his pants were a moldy puddle around his ankles. His left hand was lying on the reel of film in the projector, like he'd died caressing it.
Someone sobbed softly behind me.
I spun around so fast that my lighter blew out. I fumbled with it again, trying to light it, but my shaking hands only spun the wheel and slipped off the button.
"Help me." It was her voice. The dream girl. The film girl. I knew what moving that man had been watching as he died, trapped in this room by the pile of metal that had fallen over, trapped in here with his dying, broken toy and his sick masterpiece.
I finally struck the lighter and saw a bundle of cloth in the corner. My heart gave a final lurching bolt of agony before falling back to the normal, steady rhythm it hd been keeping for the past 27 years. I knelt at the cloth and peeled it back.
She was cringing in the corner, her skin pale white and those big tears running down her cheeks. She turned her face to mine and whispered, "Take me out of here, please. I don't want to be in here anymore with him."
"Okay," I said, wrapping the cloth around her and covering her naked body. "Okay, let's get out of here." I picked her up; she was so light, she hardly seemed to weigh anything. She pressed her face into my neck, her tears beginning to slow and then stop.
I carried her through the door and she sighed as we passed out of that awful chamber. She seemed to get lighter still and I looked down at her.
She was gone. I was carrying a pile of bones, broken and splintered from all the beatings. A single tear rolled down my cheek and struck the top of her skull, ran into a wide fissure, and disappeared. The skull caved in with a soft whispering sound, then crumbled into find dust. As I watched, the rest of her bones broke apart into dust and blew away in the night breeze.


Scary Dancing Clown


not scary. But, then again, some people fear clowns.

The Old Lady


One day at a shopping mall in the afternoon, a woman was coming out of the mall from a shopping spree. She was in a happy mood. She had gotten to her car and loaded her stuff that she had bought into her trunk. When she was done loading, she shut the door of her trunk and she saw an old lady standing by the passenger side of her car.The old woman said "Would you be a darling and give me a lift home? I don't have a car and I was walking all day." The woman said "I'd be happy to." So she unlocked the door for the old woman.As she started to make her way around the car to the driver's side, she started to feel uncomfortable. So when she got in the car, she looked in her purse and said "Darn, I can't find my credit card. I'm going inside to see if anybody found it." The old woman said "I'll wait for you here."The woman left to go look for help. Then she found a security guard and told him the situation. They went back to the woman's car and the passenger door was wide open. On the seat of the car was a shopping bag that the old woman had been carrying. Inside of the bag was the old woman's dress and a gray haired wig, along with a huge butcher's knife, a video camera, and a roll of duct tape.

The Picture


A couple of months ago, my friend's cousin (a single mother) had gotten a new cell phone. After a long day of work, she placed her phone down on the counter and started to watch TV. Her son came to her and asked if he could play with her new phone. She told him not to call anyone or mess with her text messages, which he agreed to do so.

At around 11:20 P.M., when she was getting tired, she decided to tuck her son in and go to bed herself. She proceeded to his room to see he wasn't there. She went to her room to find him sleeping on her bed with her phone in his hand. Browsing through her phone, she noticed only minor changes such as a new background, banner, etc. and headed toward the pictures section. She began deleting the pictures he took when she came across the last one...

When she saw it, she couldn't believe it. It was her son, sleeping on her bed, but it was as if the picture was taken by someone else above him. It shows the left half of what seems to be an elderly woman's face.

The Hands Resist Him

Taken from Wikipedia....
"The Hands Resist Him, also known as the eBay Haunted Painting, is a painting created by Oakland, California artist Bill Stoneham in 1972. It depicts a young boy and female doll standing in front of a glass paneled door against which many hands are pressed. According to the artist, the boy is based on a photograph of himself aged 5, the doorway is a representation of the dividing line between the waking world and the world of dreams and possibilities, and the doll is a guide who will escort the boy through it. The hands themselves represent alternate lives or possibilities. It became the subject of an urban legend and a viral internet meme in February 2000, when it was posted for sale on eBay along with an elaborate back-story implying that it was haunted."



Original eBay Description....
WHEN WE RECEIVED THIS PAINTING, WE THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY GOOD ART. A " PICKER " HAD FOUND IT ABANDONNED BEHIND AN OLD BREWERY.

Demonic Teddy Bear For Sale

When I was a young child, I had a large stuffed toy bear, and named him "Baron". Baron was the one I always blamed for stolen candy and broken dishes, dressed in a button up shirt to imitate Calvin dressing up Hobbes, that kind of best imaginary friend who I would talk out loud to. I don't remember a whole lot about what went on, but some things (which they will not discuss with me) happened to make them get rid of Baron and take me for counseling, and then to several religious figures in the local community. This didn't last long, and I turned into (according to everyone else) a healthy, well adjusted young man.Two weeks ago, I was in Cleveland on business. There was a small antique shop on the other side of the street where I was parked, and after finishing what I was there for, I walked up to the door for a quick peek. "Merryweather Curiosities" was not only closed but in a severe state of disrepair, and very dim inside, but I could swear that back in the shadows I saw movement once or twice. As my eyes adjusted to peering through the glass into the darkness, shielded by my hands, I saw a stuffed bear that looked very much like Baron tucked away in one of the corners. Nothing of note happened and I went home, only to come back the next day to retrieve my clip-on sunglasses that I had accidentally left in the waiting room of the office.Baron, and it was indeed my childhood friend, was on the sidewalk outside the shop, a McDonald's hamburger wrapper plastered around his leg by the wind. There was no price tag  On closer inspection, his fur was ragged and worn in some places, mostly on the extremities of the fore paws  and most oddly, his eyes were gone.I looked up and down the street and put him in the back of my Isuzu Trooper.At home, I hurried in to check my email and phone messages. I forgot to bring Baron in, which I sometimes do with groceries if I don't need them right away. In the morning, I went out to the car. Opening the door, I was practically bowled over by a very powerful stench of rust, mold, and what can only be described as the scent of a filthy wet dog. A dead filthy wet dog.The back lining of my trooper had been torn out after it started to mold from being used as a work truck (hauling firewood in the winter got it wet and dirty), so I figured that maybe the carpet up between the seats needed cleaning, and that some of the smell might be coming from Baron who if I remembered properly from the tag, was machine washable. I pulled him out, put him on the porch, stuck my bike in the back of the trooper, and drove down to the local car wash and auto detailing place to have the interior steam cleaned to see if that would help. My seat was slightly maladjusted and some of the controls were sticky for no apparent reason. The cycling ride home was uneventful. The bear was still in the same position where I left him.Once I got home, I snapped a quick photo with my camera phone just for fun, and stuffed Baron into my Stabler washing machine, which is an expensive high quality washer, and ran him as a light cold water load. Afterwards, I spread him over a laundry rack outside to dry because it was such a nice sunny day. Right after coming inside, the phone started ringing. It was the auto detail-er, and they wanted me to pick up my car (this was much earlier than expected).On arriving, I found the Trooper to be only partly cleaned but the smell was greatly diminished. None of the college students who worked there would look me in the eye or give me more than a monosyllabic reply. The manager pulled me aside, told me that he wanted me to take my car and leave, that he wasn't willing to discuss anything about it, and that there would be no charge. This made me feel very uncomfortable and embarrassed, and I tried to think of what might have happened. The Trooper had the windows rolled up tightly while sitting in the sun and was very warm, so I put on the air conditioning on the drive back. There was almost no airflow, and then a few dried feathers started to spiral out of the vents, followed by a shaking rustle and a dead baby bird dropping onto the carpet from the under-dash air vent I immediately pulled into the Target parking lot, locked my car, and spent an hour pacing and then looking underneath the car. I decided that the source of the stench and problems with the car wash had been birds nesting in the air conditioning ducts, which then died. I finally scooped up the dead hatch ling with a plastic bag, dropped it in one of the errant shopping carts and got back in my car. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something looking at me from in back. Not malevolently, but accusingly. Like I had done something wrong.At home, I worked outside for a while cutting down some new brush growth and dragging it down to the ditch by the road, then went inside and out into the back yard to check on Baron drying. The rack had collapsed and he was sprawled on the ground several feet away, but completely dry. It almost felt as though there were hard objects inside him, just deep enough to be difficult to feel under the padding. There was no smell. I put most of my problems outside of my mind and carried him upstairs to be stowed away in the guest bedroom, with some of my other old stuff.For a few days, nothing happened. Then I began feeling like I wasn't alone in the house. My girlfriend came over, and started to mention seeing things out of the corner of her eye. I said they must have been my cat Harlequin, but we found her upstairs asleep on my bed. That night when we were watching The Island, we both heard a very loud banging sound coming from upstairs. Later, she swore she heard footsteps descending the basement stairs and then sounds coming from underneath us. I was still trying my best to be skeptical about the odd things happening, and made fun of her being easily spooked. Our night didn't last much longer, she went home and I stayed up listening to every single sound - and this is an old house, it DOES have some creaks from the heat making it expand and contract - with my hair slowly prickling up on the back of my neck. Some of the pieces from my chess set were missing.I went to sleep with a small light on for the first time in years, and finally drifted off around 3 am. I can't remember much from my dreams from that night, but I woke up with most of the coverings balled up on the floor and dark bags under my eyes. The one mental image that remained was the lingering sensation of being trapped deep underground in a space too small to pass through, with the knowledge that something was coming after me.Harlequin didn't show up for her breakfast, but I figured she was just out sleeping in the bushes or in a sunny spot. I realized that I hadn't seen any birds or squirrels around lately, and there hadn't been any bird calls in the morning. Harley takes a bird now and then, but not enough to silence them all. Walking out the front door, I saw a massive puddle under the back of the trooper. It was something like motor oil but was dried and blackish brown. Test driving it showed no problems and there was no longer any smell at all. Also, the feathers were gone. At this point, I began questioning whether some of the events were just my overactive imagination running wild after a period of stress and extra work. I decided to take the car for a drive to make sure nothing was wrong, and ended up heading toward Cleveland again. The antique shop popped into my mind, and I made a beeline for it, thinking maybe I could ask where they found Baron. I was starting to put some of these strange occurrences together.At the corner where I had picked up Baron, there was only brick wall at the section where the shop had been. I thought I was going nuts. It was the exact same place, but nothing was there. I walked to the next door down, a local coffeehouse. The gray haired lady behind the counter told me that there never had been any "Merryweather" shop there.Sure that I was going mad, I came back home to see the local utilities board scooping up all the brush I had been cutting over the past week. One of the orange hard-hat wearing workers flagged me over and pointed at what the backhoe claw had unearthed pulling up branches. There was a good four or five cubic feet of small bones mixed in with the twigs and saplings, drying white and brown. Feathers, fur, and scraps of flesh still clung to most of them. Among the bones was a pink flea collar exactly the same as the one Harlequin had been wearing.This incident caused me a great deal of difficulty with the city, fortunately some of the executives on the utilities board and city council members were close friends of my parents and didn't take to any wild flights of fancy as to why a small animal graveyard might have appeared in my discarded branches. I was beginning to be terrified about the possibilities. My house was rapidly taking on a very uncomfortable feeling, and no one came inside without commenting on feeling unease or even outright fear. At several times I heard low moans uttered from other parts and this happened once while a guest was over. The shuffling sounds increased in frequency, always happening on a floor I wasn't on until one day they started happening several rooms over on the same story. This set me on edge like nothing you would believe. It was worse than hearing the scraping sounds inside the walls at night had been. Sometimes I would wake up with a few scratches on my face, or feel something jump up onto my bed at night. I started to question my sanity more and more. The next night my girlfriend was sitting on the couch while I stepped into the kitchen for a drink of water. I heard a low thump and dragging sound, and then the wind howled around the house. Coming back into the living room, I discovered her laying limp with her eyes staring into space, monotonously repeating "there is a way out. there is a way out. there is a way out," over and over. The altered voice I could rationalize away. The chorus in the background, I couldn't. She has since refused to talk or have any contact with me.Up to this time, I had only looked in the spare bedroom a few times, and Baron was always in his place, eyeless sockets staring into space. I looked at him that day I heard the shuffling, and caught myself starting to talk to him. This time it wasn't a pair of child friends, it was me threatening him with the evisceration of his stuffing and the fate of being stuffed into my wood chipper if he didn't stop whatever was going on, if it was related to him and I was sure it was. As I spoke, I felt chills trace up and down my spine and tears jumped into my eyes for no reason. The room felt twenty degrees colder and visibly darkened. My heart was in my throat and I felt an incredibly palpable sensation of hostility spreading through the air like waves.Shakily I backed out of the room, slammed the door, and ran downstairs to fix myself some tequila. I noticed in the kitchen that most if not nearly all of my knives were missing, and that there were chunks of wood missing out of the locked cupboard under the sink, a holdover from when the previous owners had had small children to keep away from drain cleaner, almost as if a very short person had been gleefully chipping away to try to break past the latch.After drinking for a good twenty minutes, I started to rationalize everything that had happened. The feeling that washed over me had been a natural reaction, all part of my mind spooking itself and reacting on cue to my subconscious desires to find strange and scary things. Emboldened by liquor, I strode back upstairs and decided for no apparent reason to repair Barons eyes. I remembered that once, long after Baron disappeared but still in my childhood, that I had found a small box with a pair of stuffed animal type eyes in it, nestled in strips of paper with scrawled writing, and then was scolded heavily for snooping. As if my hands found it unbidden, it only took a few minutes of searching in one of the upstairs closets. The box was wooden with inlaid crucifixes and a carving of the Virgin Mary, which struck me very oddly as my parents had most definitely not been Catholic. Inside were many little strips of parchment, almost as if it had been put through a shredder. Written on each one was a Latin phrase, repeated over and over from one strip to another. Underneath a wrapping of these were a pair of simple button eyes that I recognized as definitely having belonged to Baron in the past. They felt very, very cold.I took a needle and thread left over from my last shirt repair and took Baron downstairs. Slamming him onto the dining room table, I roughly stabbed the needle into the sockets, laced in the eyes, and sewed them both tight. Again, I felt as if there almost might be an actual skeletal structure under his padding, but after prodding quite hardly, found nothing. After taking a few pictures of my handiwork, tired of the whole thing and wondering why I had done what I did, I opened the basement door, threw him down the stairs, and locked it.Nothing happened all day and all night. Maybe I had solved the problem. Loading my week's laundry into the machine, I noticed that it was already full of liquid. Looking closer with a flashlight revealed a layer of scum floating on oily water, glinting red under the beam from my mini mag. My reflection swirled and distorted in the water, and I heard whispering, not just one voice but one main tone with a whole chorus of others in the background. I slammed the lid down and put a cinder block on top of it, and ran the machine empty. Five minutes later all of the power to that side of my house went out and I have still not been able to find the circuit fault. I called up an electrician the next morning, after a tormented night of sounds and bumps, and then tried looking up an exorcist. Exorcists unfortunately aren't in the yellow pages. The workman came around noon and went down to the basement (where I had not gone) to check the breakers. He left shortly after going down and told me that he was never coming back and that he had a good mind to hit me with his wrench for calling him here. The shadows in the corners of the house seemed bigger than before, and I don't like shadows that shift and adjust when you aren't looking. There was a puddle slowly forming under the washer.I went outside to pace under the sun, and started to notice odd scraps of ragged fabric stuck to some of the trees and brambles edging my property. One of them was recognizable as part of one of my much older stuffed animals, from when I was a toddler. There must have still been a box of them tucked away somewhere. I went upstairs to look, and found only a decapitated Pooh in an otherwise empty cardboard box. Pooh's eyeless, mouth less head was on the seat of my car. The rest of the never-alive animals slowly came to view as I dug through some of the uncleared thickets, some of them with their heads separated, some of them much worse. I saw the entrance to the crawlspace under the side porch was open. This crawlspace leads directly to another crawlspace that goes to the basement. I saw some scraps of fur and stuffing laying in the entrance and was sure that I heard heavy, animal breathing deeper inside.Inside, as the sun faded, the noises started again. I looked at some other pictures I had taken before and found one I hadn't noticed where Baron's eyes glowed a faint eerie red. Staying in the house for another night was a terrifying prospect. I was being forced to accept that some sort of evil supernatural entity was making a residence and destroying my life and my well being. Looking in the downstairs bathroom mirror, my skin was almost china-pale, with dark veins showing through. The corruption that was overtaking the house was starting to get me as well. As I looked at my face in the mirror in the dim fluorescent light (I needed to change one of the pair and hadn't) the reflection slowly faded to grayish dark, and swirled into ornate patterns that gave way to a pure blackness that looked back at me through a pair of bright red eyes, the only thing I could see. I heard a horrible scream that might have been my own, as the lights went off through the entire house. The bathroom door is opposite the basement door, only a few feet to the other side and back a bit. I could hear slow shuffling sounds coming up them. My mag lite was in my hand and my adrenaline was on full fight or flight mode. I chose fight.I shone the light into the door and pulled it open. I swear to god I'm not crazy, and this is what I saw. There below me on the steps was Baron slowly walking up on two legs, one of my kitchen knives in his paws, scraps of other animals hanging off him. I yelled at the top of my lungs and shut the door, but it bounced back open. I was already several yards away, running upstairs for my guns. In my bedroom, the moonlight filtered through my curtains and I quickly grabbed my 870 and prepared to charge back down. I felt prickles on my neck and turned to see the eyes outside my window. They winked out into nothing with an unearthly moan and I left the house as fast as I could. I did not see 'Baron' on the way out.The rest is too difficult for me to write down just now, from the ordeal under the cellar to what we found in the crawlspaces. With the help of a Wiccan acquaintance  my house is partially cleansed (thank God!) and the bear is now locked up in a box. I need to sell it, for someone to willfully accept it. Please help me.There is a large rip on the back, a small one on the belly that is sealed up with red thread. The eyes are firmly attached and for reasons I am not willing to discuss should not be removed under any circumstances. I am not a professional ebayer or anything like that. I just want some peace in my life again.
