About this listen
Zoinks, Gang! In this episode of Mystery Inc, we’re stepping into the smoldering urban legend of The Crying Boy—a mass-produced painting that seemingly refused to burn, no matter how many house fires it endured. Join us as we trace the painting’s origins in post-war Europe, delve into the bizarre string of fires reported across Britain in the 1980s, and uncover the spooky tales that convinced thousands it was cursed. Was it supernatural, media hysteria, or just an unlucky coincidence involving a fire-retardant coating? Tune in to find out—because sometimes, a picture is worth more than just a thousand words; it might even be worth a houseful of flames!
