Take a look at the picture below,I recently discovered this image and its tale in a korean publication.
The story is this, in Japan shortly before a teenage girl comitted suicide, she drew this picture, scanned it and posted it online. In korea this story broke out and it spread like wildfire. There are various posts around in korean forums that say that the viewer gets drawn to the girls blue eyes, they say they can detect a hint of wraith and sadness within the eyes. Maybe the girl had died with so much sadness and anger that her spirit haunts the image, or maybe the image provoke sadness, similar to the song 'Gloomy Sunday'.
The freaky bit is this, they say it is hard for a person to stare into the girls eyes for longer than 5 minutes, there are reports that some people have taken their own lives after doing so. People say the picture changes, as you view it there is a hint of a growing taunting smirk appearing on the girls lips or a dark ring grows around the girl or her eyes.
One thing is for sure, the picture has sparked a curiosity in me that I must find out, i do feel a presence when I look at the image, whether it is evil or not I can not judge. I would like to know what the esato community feels and maybe even experts in art would be able to resolve why the eyes of this image can draw the viewer in so deeply?

Yeah I've seen this, though a smaller picture so thanks for the larger image. I dunno, my level of patience isn't big enough for me to test that five minutes though after a little bit it does become a bit freaky, such as slight smirks and winks etc. I don't know if its true, it would be cool if it was, obviously from the curiosity of the picture point of view, not the girls death. But if its not then its definately an optical illusion produced because of the slight blur to the picture, as our eyes are trying to focus it makes things seem as if they are moving, also because we want the face to move so much our mind creates this illusion. But as I said I am open minded to this...
EDIT: Axxxr, please can I have the link to the original picture of this size so that I can have it without the esato mark on it, thanks.

Stare closely enough and focus on her whole face rather than a specific feature and if you manage to try and control your eyes trying to focus and water you can make out an Asian/Japanese girl, really wierd. Thats after the scaryness of her eyes and hair going black that is... damn!

Spooky my arse. If you stare at anything for more than five minutes your eyes are going to go funny. It'll be on ebay next, just like the infamous haunted ebay painting:

Nothing like an urban legend to bump the price of something up.
