S4 E29: The Mysterious Crying Boy Painting & Other Cursed...

What this episode covers

Welcome back to another spine-tingling episode of your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody dive into the enigmatic and chilling tale of "The Curse of the Crying Boy." Set against the backdrop of the hauntingly beautiful fall mornings, they explore the eerie legend surrounding a seemingly innocent painting that left a trail of destruction across England in the 1980s. Imagine a painting so cursed that it survives fires that destroy entire homes. This is the story of the Crying Boy, a portrait that has been linked to over 50 mysterious house fires, leaving only the painting unscathed amidst the ashes. Tyler and Woody unravel the layers of this mystery, questioning whether the painting is merely a victim of mass hysteria or if it holds a darker, supernatural power. As they delve deeper, they explore the possible connections between art and energy, pondering whether emotions can be trapped in brushstrokes and whether these emotions can manifest in the real world. They also touch on the fascinating world of chaos magic and its potential influence on this bizarre phenomenon. Join us for a captivating journey into the unknown as we examine cursed objects, from haunted paintings to sinister vases, and consider the possibility that some things are better left untouched. Whether you're here for the high strangeness, the eerie tales, or just to hear two best friends explore the unexplained, this episode promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.
