The Curse Painting of the Crying Boy

The Cursed Painting of the Crying Boy-

The Original First Painting of
The Cursed Crying Boy

For today's post in the spirit of Halloween I thought I would pull out one of my favorite stories
that I found years ago about a boy and a painting and how it caused so much pain with terrifying fires. The Painting of the Crying Boy was painted by an Italian painter Bruno Amadio - also known as Griovanni Bragolin. Who had the painting mass-produced many times over. It was widely distributed from the 1950's onwards to modern times. there are even numerous alternative versions of the original portrait of tearful young boys and girls. However the true original portraits of the Cursed Painted Crying Boy is of two Painting that I know of and that seems to show up in many of the stories of the burning buildings and as for the two portraits of the Painted Crying boys, well they are never touch by the fire. The legend around the Cursed Crying Boy Painting is a Grim tale and it gets worst before it get better. It seems the stories has started around the year 1985 even though these paintings started widely being distributed in the early 1950's.  What happened in 1985 was  a huge string of horrendous mysterious fires broke out all around England. It was said that after these terrible huge fires that had engulf the entree homes and the debris was shifted through, the only item that remained untouched/un-charred was the painting of a little boy with a tear rolling from his cheek in ever fire that broke-out in London. A good amount of the fires had even killed entire families too, but not the Paint of the Crying Boy. The good people of London were beginning to wonder was the painting cursed or was it just a coincidence?
It seems that it got the attention of the Yorkshire Fireman in England because of all the fires they had to deal with and the many burned victims.  They were so upset that they even talked with the Sun Newspaper in England. Told them their story's of the terrify cases of the Crying boy painting and the homes, building and all those dreadful fires they encounter. These Firemen of the Yorkshire fire-department had chilling stories to tell to the reporters. It was said one of the victims of the Curse of the painting, was an lady by the name of Dora Mann of Mitchum. The Fireman had quoted her saying' Only six months after I had bought the picture, my house was completely gutted by fire. All my paintings were destroyed, except the one of the crying boy."  It was soon after that when the Sun Newspaper, well about a month of hearing all the tales, of the true stories of folks around England homes being gutted out by fire within days after they have bought the painting of the Crying Boy and put it in their

The Cursed Crying Boy

homes or even business in some cases. The Sun Newspaper decided to give their readers the chance to bring their paintings that they had bought and agreed to have a very large Bon fire to rid of every last one in England these cursed painting.  So in fact at the time all the painting of the crying boy that were brought to the newspaper were burned in that huge Bon fire which everyone join and it seemed that there was peace for a while with no more fires.
However, the tale doesn't end there... Even though they thought they had burned all the cursed paintings of the Crying boy, there were reports of the crying boy being found in charred homes untouched as recent as 1985 to 1988! Yes Creepy Eh!
No one knows for sure who the artist might have been and where he/she got the idea to paint a portrait of a crying boy either. Yet there were rumors to this tale of course. And if you ever find one of these two different painting of the Crying boy! They are said to be beautiful paintings of a sad little boy with a very very realistic tear that, its like that painting is alive in a creepy kinda way... It was so creepy that the Crying Boy Painting actually appeared out of the blue one morning in 1985, in the Sun Newspaper which at the time was the most popular tabloid newspaper in the English-speaking world. It had published on page 13 on September 4, 1985 with the special Edition Story Headliner: "Blazing Curse of the Crying Boy''   . It told how Ron and May Hall blamed a cheap painting of  a toddler with tears rolling down his face for a fire which gutted their terraced council home in Rotherham, in a mining town in South Yorkshire. The blaze broke out in a chip span in the kitchen of their home of over 27years and spread rapidly. Although the downstairs rooms of the home were badly damaged, the frame of the Crying Boy escaped unscathed. It continued to hang there, surrounded by a scene of devastation. Normally a chip-pan blaze would merit nothing more than a couple of paragraphs in a local newspaper. However, the newspaper, ran their story about everything in the home and how it was consumed by fire except for the painting of the crying boy. There were at the time more than one of these paintings around and each seemed to have the same effect on each home and all the contents would be totally destroyed but, the painting of the little boy crying would show now sights of  going through a blazing fire. The newspaper began receiving television story headlined-Rapidly. It seems what had transformed from this story into a page, was also leading up to the Britain's leading Tabloids newspapers. They were working on a interview with Ron' Hall's brother Peter, a firefighter based in Rotherham. In this interview, a colleague of Peter's station officer Alan Wilkinson had said he known of numerous other cases where prints of the painting Crying Boy had turned up undamaged, in the ruins of homes destroyed by fires. Accompanying the article was photograph of a quote 'Crying Boy' with the caption: 'TEARS FOR FEARS...THE PORTRAIT THAT FIREMEN CLAIM IT WAS CURSED... However the fireman in in the article had not actually used the word Cursed! but even so, the newspaper reporter had help to give the story a certain level of credibility by adding the part about the fireman. The Newspaper also added that an estimated 50,000 'Crying Boy' prints signed by G Bragolin had been sold in branches of British department stores, particularly in the working class areas of Northern England. They went on saying that examples could be seen hanging in the front rooms of family homes across the nation and one story has suggested a quarter of a million of these Quote' Cursed! Paintings have been SOLD!  
I found that the additional stories about folks that came in contact with a Painting of a Crying Boy continued with the same horrible end. And with some of the fires the folks were either hurt or killed. So there was something to this painting of the Crying boy.  Here are a few more accounts of folks terrifying blast with the Curse Painting: '"Dora Mann, who had claim her house was gutted just six months after she bought a print of the painting [Could have been from one of those department stores?]. "All my Paintings were destroyed except the one of the Crying Boy,'"she claimed. 
''Sandra Kaske, of Kilburn North Yorkshire had said, 'Her sister-in-law and a friend had all suffered disastrous fires since they too acquired copies of the paintings too.''
''Finally there was another family from Nottingham who had bought a print of the Crying Boy and its blaze caused them to be homeless. There more to this story... It seems that the father,  Brian Parks, whose wife and three children who were being treated for smoke inhalation at the hospital, said he had destroyed the copy of the painting before he came to the hospital make sure his family was going to be alright. Creepy Yet!  on Brian's return from the hospital to his destroy home glutted of fire, he to his horror found that the painting hanging undamaged, of course , however the back of the painting where it hung was blackened as was the entire living room. Question? how did the painting get back there in one piece and not damage? "
As more stories emerged from folks, it seemed that the idea that if one was to posses a painting or even a print of the Crying Boy it could be a risk not only to their homes or business it could be to their very lives!
"More stories... One woman from London had claimed she had seen her 'print' of the Crying Boy swinging from side to side."
"While another lady from Paignton told her 11year old son had 'caught his private parts on a hook after she had bought the print of the Crying Boy."
"Yet another , Mrs Rose Farrington of Preston, wrote in a letter to the Sun Newspaper, which was then published by the Sun stating 'Since I bought the painting in 1959, my three sons and my husband have all died. I've often wondered if it had a curse." [You Think!]
From all these accounts I wonder do you believe the painting of the Crying Boy could be Curse? Well I believe ever since I found this story.. I would be curious to hear what you all  think? I do have a bit more to the tale.. We are going to go back to the Rotherham Fire station with the firefighter Alan Wilkinson who had personally logged 50+hours' during the fires back to 1973 by the famous Painting of the Crying Boy. It seems during that time when Officer Alan Wilkinson had did all those reports, that had the Crying Boy logged in as cause of fire, were either dismissed with no reason or dismissed of any connection with the supernatural and satisfied himself that most of the fires had been cause by human carelessness.  However, despite officer Alan Wilkinson fighter and his pragmatism, he couldn't explain how the prints of the 'Crying Boy' had survived the inferno which generated such a sufficient amount of heat that in one such fire the plaster was striped from the walls. But the Print of the Crying Boy was still untouched in all the inferno blaze! It seems that his wife had her own theory. "I always say its the tears that put the fire out."  Humm what do you think? The Sun Newspaper was not interested in finding a rational explanation. So they basically ignored the Fire Chiefs' Claims and Comments [Alan Wilkinson firefighter and Chief ]. It seems that later the Fire chief did admit that they had no logical explanation for a huge number of the recent incidents of fires that had the print of the Crying Boy in the home's. To make this post even  Creepier, it was found soon after the interview with Alan Wilkinson. All prints that were  in the department stores, an estimated 50,000 'Crying Boy' prints signed by G Bragolin had been sold in branches of British department stores, particularly in the working class areas of Northern England- are in-fact not prints! It gets better my dears. Its seems that all the cursed prints were not all copies of the same painting, nor were all the prints by the same artist.  The Painting or Print that survived the fire in the Rotherham London that initially triggered the scare, was signed by the Artist G. Bragolin.  Now It may be a bit confusing since above G.Bragolin had signed all those prints that sold in the British department stores of the working class areas of Northern England - an estimated 50,000 of the Painted Crying Boy'.
This is when the story of the Painted Crying Boy gets interesting....
The Sun newspaper had claimed the original Artist was done by an Italian Artist. In fact, 
Giovanni Bragolin was a pseudonym adopted by an Spanish painter Bruno Amadio who is also known as 'Franchot Seville'.  It gets better I promise... The Story was uncovered by an
well-respected researcher into occult matters, a retired schoolmaster from Devon named George Mallory in 1995.  What This retired schoolmaster would discover would change everything. Mallory has traced the Artist who had painted the original Painting of the  'Crying Boy'. Know one has done this till NOW!   Who is it? Well it ends-up to be an old Spanish Portrait by the named of Franchot Seville, who lives in Madrid. 
Franchot Seville, assures readers they will recognise one of the pseudonyms used by Bruno Amadio, otherwise known as 'G Bragolin' whose signature appears on some of the prints of the Crying Boy. I am sorry if it does get a bit confusing, but I did truly try write it in away that could be understood... However this is where it all began, I remember the tale now and it starts here... Well it seems that Seville/Amadio/Bragolin told Mallory the schoolmaster hope researched the whole mystery of the Painting of the Crying boy and the subject of the  paintings... Mallory was told by these three Seville/Amadio/Bragolin the subject of the paintings was a little street urchin he had found wandering around in Madrid in 1969. He never spoke, and had a very sorrowful look in his eyes. Seville painted the boy, and a Catholic priest identified him as Don Bonillo, a child who had run away after seeing his parents die in a huge fire blaze. "
"The priest told the artist to have nothing to do with the runaway, because wherever he settled down, fires of unknown origin would mysteriously break out; the villagers called him "Diablo" because of this. Nevertheless, the painter ignored the Priest's warnings and adopted the boy.
The Artist portraits sold well, but one day his studio was destroyed by fire and the Artist was ruined. He accused the little boy of arson and Bonillo ran off- naturally in tears and was never seen again. From all over Europe came the reports of the unlucky Crying boy painting causing blazes in homes all over Europe. Seville was also regarded as a jinx and no one commissioned to paint or would even look at any of his paintings. Then in 1976 , there was a terrible car accident where a car had exploded into a fireball, on the outskirts of Barcelona after crashing into a wall. The victim was charred beyond recognition, However part of the victims drivings license in the glove compartment was only partly burned. The name on the license was one of a 19year old Don Bonillo. Some have said that the boys spirit was trapped in all those paintings and that the curse extends to all the many different versions of the painting too. So there you have the true story of the Painting of the Crying Boy and how it came to be. As for now, if  any of the painting are still causing terrifying fires? Well the answer is Yes. There are still thousands of those prints and a few painting out there and even with him dieing in the car crash his spirit is still in all those prints and paintings that are left. that is the creepy part of this tale.

I have seen Crying boy painting with either with companion of an Crying Girl or another Boy within the painting. These are not the same thing. Anyways I hope that you Enjoyed the tale. Happy Early Halloween....

TipsFromtheGarden-Composting

TipsFromtheGarden-

Composting- 

For Composting For my Tips for the Garden today I thought I would give you all an easy way to compost your own garden clippings,flowers trimmings, vegetables from the garden and of course all those veggie scraps, egg shells, stall breads, banana peels, old coffee grinds and Tea bags to be a few. Of course you can use all your use used fruited and vegetables after cooking too. It 

is can be very simple to make your own compost bin. 

In this post I have found a few images along the way to help you with

the building of your own compost bins too.

For the folks like myself that have lived in apt for over 18years its kinda hard

to figure out where or how to start a compost area - Now if you have your 

own yard that is a whole different kind of composting and if you all are 

interested in that type of composting too! please let me know by just writing me in the 

comments or by email which is on my blog and I will go over the kind to in a 

other post too. 

However for most folks that live in apt or smaller homes/condos with not much

of a backyard for a garden or an compost- I have found away and I have lived 

in a 1bedroom apt for years and been composting for almost 10year on my

small porch Garden. I have even adopted a couple of Anne' Hummingbirds 

that have made their home on my porch and they don't go away for the 

winter her in Seattle WA. and it can get cold her and sometimes even snow!

Anne' Hummingbird

These Anne' Hummingbirds have made their home here for the past 7-10years. 

So how to make a easy compost? What I have used for the last 10years plus+ is 2 blue very

thick plastic bins from any local market that sell containers.
What you will need; 1) 2 very large thick plastic Bins, with their lids.
2)6-8 short ceramic (I like ceramic because they don't rust but this is just a personal thing) or just empty food cans. Note the ceramic one I used old ceramic coffee mugs that we just didn't used any more, but you can always go to your local goodwill or
second hand store for cheap coffee much that are about tops 4inches high.
3)To start your compost, you will need to get a good bag of dirt to start - so 1 bag of either a small or medium dirt at your local store where sell soil of flowers etc. 
4) You will need to drill small holes in one of the plastic bins that you have bought 
at the local store and the other keep hole free. Note here is an image for 
an idea of what it is to look like.. 
5)You'll need a plastic shovel. Why? because a metal one 
will harm your Earth worm/Red worms. And you don't want
to harm your critters that are going to make great 
dirt for you and eat your compost Eh!
6)Lastly You'll need to buy the worms for your new compost bin
that you have made, which in fact can last for years if you take care of 
the bin and the worm inside. Like myself I have had the same blue 
bin for over 10years and have had lots of great compost dirt
for my flowering plants, herbs, small tree and this year 
a great Vegetable garden too.
Later in another post for TipsfromtheGarden I will share this 
with you. As for the type of worms that you choose for you
compost bin - Its really a matter of a option.
Some folks love the Earth worms which you can get at any plant section
of any store near you where you live. They also like them for fishing I am told too.
Just ask for Earthworm at your local planting store or fishing area of the store
and you should find them in a refrigerator to keep them cool. I have seen them
in white containers of either 15 to 30 Earthworms.
Another that my husband and I discovered just a couple for
years ago but just tried this year is the Red worms. This were at the time
a bit harder to find and expense too. However, how! they arent' and are
easy to find at your local plant nursery and they work AWESOME!
I have now tried both and I must say the the Red worms work much faster than
the Earthworms, since my husband surprised me with a container of
30 red worms. And since then the make more too. hehehheh.
In my bin I have both the Red worms and the Earth worms and they
get along just fine. However I would try the red worms if they are available to you.
I must say from the 10year of composting I have got the most rich soil
for my plants that I would never find at any store anywhere and they have
lasted years to here in my small apt for almost 18years this Nov.
Also I feel that I am helping in my own small way of our mother Gaea.
We all need to do something however BIG or small.
So I hope that my Composting post inspires lots of you out there to
find your ways to help our Earth Mother Gaea for the Children of tomorrow.

This is what my Compost bin looks
like and it sits on my porch with my
plastic shovel. 

The Red worms

THIS IS KIND LIKE WHAT
SHOULD HAVE AFTER YOU
GO TO MARKET FOR
YOUR COMPOST BIN

How what this is use for?
You can use any type of
large coffee can that you used up
and emptied and put your
varies food scraps in this
so you don't have to go to
your compost bin every time.
Its what I do

This should help you
in what you can and cannot
but in your compost bin

Earth Worms
Container 

As to Making sure your
Compost is moist, but not too
wet I just add a cup of
water once a week depending
on how much compost I have
put into that week. (Basically
you have to eyeball it yourself) During the
winter times I don't need to add as
much and for times so the dirt doest
freeze I put a blanket on the bin.

Drill and put holes
also on all the sides
of the plastic bin too! 

Here is a image showing
the holes on the side however,
I would make them much
smaller because the worm
would get through THESE!

This will help with more items that you can Compost

This is kinda like how I hope I
have my compost set-up on my
porch. although I have the lid on and
its full of dirt food scrap/ and red/earth
worms. You must find a place
that is permit ant that the bin
will not be moved because it will
be very HEAVY!
1-The No-holes bin
2- Put the bin that has
all the hole in the No-holes bin.
on-top of the cans or ceramic mugs.
3-Find that place on your porch for
its permit home
4-Add the bag of new dirt inside the
inside bin - then add your food
scraps and then the worms.
This could be either the
Red worms or Earth worms
5- add your veggies Scrap and
more and always keep the lid on
to keep out the pests.

In this image It shows you how the
ceramic mugs/ or can go on the
bottom of the FIRST BIN WITHOUT!
THE HOLE VERY IMPORTANT!
THESE WILL HOLD THE
BIN WITH ALL THE HOLE THAT
YOU HAVE DRILLED HOLES IN AND
 PUT DIRT, VEG SCRAPS, AND
YOUR WORMS TO MAKE
COMPOST AWESOME DIRT

This is an example of what the
inside of your compost bin
should look like with all the
drilled holes on the sides and
the bottom even thought you
can't see. And the new bag of good
dirt.  What is on top is the first
of your composting of your
scraps from you kitchen foods
that you might have normally
thrown away...

The Havfrue of Denmark

The Havfrue of Denmark-

The Havfrue Mermaid of Denmark

For my next post my dears, I found an Mermaid from Denmark that is rather interesting. I hope all will stop by to have a good read... It seems that the mermaid of Denmark, 'The Havfrue' is her traditional name and from what I found out about the Havfrue Mermaid is that she is very beautiful as most legends of female mermaids are. Some folks of Denmark have said to seen the Havfrue combing her long golden hair whilst floating just barely on the surface of the ocean waves. Some have said that the Havfrue is both helpful and malevolent. These Mermaids of Denmark are regarded as being able to foretell events of importance. Once such thing was the birth of the Danish King Christian lV of Denmark was foretold by a Havfrue Mermaid.  The different sightings of the Havfrue in Denmark have been: She may be seen driving her milk-white cattle over the dunes to feed on the shores - or you might get a glimpsed of the Havfrue through the early summer mists, as she hovers on the surface of the ocean waters, but these sighting are usually portents of  wild and stormy weather as the legends say. The Havfrue has also been reported visiting fishermen nighttime fires on the shore, in guise of a beautiful maiden who is wet and suffering from a cold. Also with not much clothing on either. Any of the fishermen who are unwary and are enticed by her charms, that take a walk away from the safety of the fire and other men, are likely to be brought to her watery underworld with all the other bodies of the drowned who never to resurrected. For a bit of history in Denmark there is a  Bronze Sculpture of a Mermaid in Copenhagen harbour of a Mermaid, it seems that the Author Hans Christian Andersen story of  'the Little Mermaid' in 1836 it was influenced a little bit from that...  I am sure there is more to the story. but I thought I would share that with you all. As for the Havfrue Mermaid I believe that she is still swimming in the waters of Denmark and that she is helpful to humans when they are kind to her race as we should be to all races.

The Blue Men of the Muir Scotland-

The Blue Men of the Muir Scotland- 

The Blue Men
of the Muir

For today's post my dears, I am going to bring you to the ancient lands and seas of Scotland. We will venture the legend of the Blue Men of the Muir. In the Gaelic language the word 'Muir' means 'Sea'. So the Blue Mean of the Muir tells us that these creatures live in the sea and were in fact mermen. They lived off the northern coast of Scotland in a body of water between the western Hebrides islands called the Minch Channel. Further along the Hebrides Islands there was chain of Islands, between the Shiant which - meant 'Charmed' in Gaelic' Islands and the Isle of Lewis. There is what they would of called a waterway called the Struth na Fear Gorma. That name would be translated to 'in Gaelic language ' The stream of the Blue Men.' There have been many tales of the Blue Men of the Muir. They have had many Gaelic translations from their homeland Scotland, some of which I've given to you already. However these Gaelic Scott's men had other mans for their Blue Men of Muir legend - which was 'the Na Fir Ghorma' meaning they are only found in the outer Hebrides islands off the shores of Scotland where they have been known to be seen floating in the Minch Passage of Scotland, which is sometime called the 'Channel of the Blue Men of Muir'. (In Gaelic language its 'Sruth Nam Fear Gorma.) Now this Minch Passage that the Blue Men of Muir love to float about in the seas is said to be located between the Isle of Lewis and the Shiant isles off the Mainland of Scotland.  The Blue Men of

Outer Islands of Hebrides off the shores of Scotland

Muir have earned their name and have have been known in legend because of their blue-gray skin. And having the appearance of male humans even though been blue skin from head to fin of sorts with grey beards. From what the legend says about these blue men of Muir, they live in the most treacherous and dangerous parts of the ocean of Scotland. Its also the deepest and coldest area of the Scotland isles too.  It seems that the seas that surrounds these Scots Isles will remain calm and the weather too, as long as the Blue Men of the Muir and their Chief Tain are in their underwater caves. However, the moment that they appear, they will summon up fearsome sea storms and swim out to any vessel whose captain who might be foolhardy enough to attempt to make a run through the Minch Passage. The intention of the Blue Men is to wreck the ships/sailors to their doom who try. This is by asking the seamen a question. if they aren't able to answer the question correctly, the Blue men mermen will destroy their ship and drag the sailors and the captain down to their watery underworld. However, I have heard another tale that Blue Men merman have been tricked by a few cleaver skippers and Captains in their Treacherous and deathly waters of the Minch Passage. And that is where the Blue

The Blue Men of Muir

Men of Muir might be thwarted, since they love rhyming contests and will love a challenge with an Captain or Skipper of an Ship before condemning all crew to their watery deaths. If the Captain has an agile tongue and can always get the last word with these Magick Blue Men of the sea then they will spare the ship and his crew.  
It is said for centuries that many fishermen and sailors have said they have seen the Blue Men of the Muir 'riding the Waves around the Shiant Islands.' These mermen are considered very magical spirits who control the violent tides throughout the area even today.
There is another group of Murderous menfolk that live near the Orkney Islands, also off the shores of Scotland. These creatures are called the Finfolk and they were reportedly lively deep in the sea in an area called Finfolkaheem. They are malicious, dangerous and mysterious too. The finfolk like to sneak to the shore, either by swimming or stealing boats to get there. Once they have made

Scotland 

 it to the shore, they look for unsuspecting humans who get too near the waters edge. Then they will snatch them and take them to their home Finfolkaheem to enslave them forever. There is one way to escape the finfolk. They love silver, so if one approaches you, it is recommended you throw any silver you have as far away from yourself as you can. The  merman will lunge for the silver first , giving you a chance to run and escape their clutches. There certainly seems to be a lot of action in those cold , frigid waters off of Scotland...  Now this are just the Mermen of the frigid waters of Scotland..Who is to say about any of the other parts of the world in the very deep waters where mermen and mermaids may have a different attitude toward humans. However I wouldn't be surprise either with all the stuff that we have done to different species in the pass. Its is very sad in a way, you see I truly believe that there are Mermaids and mermen that live in the depth of our oceans, probably in the more colder deeper area's of the oceans of Greenland, Ireland and Scotland being that its more safe and it where the whales are too. but that is only my opinion. I am always curious what might you

The Passage of the Minch of the Blue Men

think to.  I have found some more information on this subject that I will be sharing with you soon in another post... Before I end this post I most add the other part I had found about the 

Blue Men of the Muir and their connection or belief that they were derived from the Moorish Slaves who were forced into sailing the Viking long ships centuries ago, then were left and marooned by the Norsemen in the Minch Passage during the 9th century. These unfortunates people wore the long blue robes and grey-blue veils as do their descendants did as do present day Tuaregs of North Africa does too. So there you have the Blue Men of Muir & and the 

different views of the Mermen of the cold deep waters of the Scotland Islands and

Greenland .. I leave you ideas and though to comments our to yourself 

For I know it is a very hard subject to talke about ...
