Opening recently was a local star billed stage show called the innocents. At this stage is a picture, about which supernatural legends abound. The one who owns this picture, for many years now, chooses to not be known. She was traveling down the street when the picture in a shop window caught her eye and for some reason, still unknown to the owner she parked her car, went into the shop, and bought the picture. Waiting for the clerk to take it from the window, she wondered how can she possibly afford buying that picture. She thought of her children who needed books, clothes and school supplies soon for their classes. So thinking, she told the clerk, I've changed my mind, I just can't afford it even though it's a beautiful picture. The woman suddenly shrieked that she wanted the painting badly no matter what and so the clerk did not return the portrait in place anymore. She still could not fathom how she bought it as she was paying the clerk and then walked out of the antique shop then her thoughts led to her husband, certain that he would be so mad of her compulsion to buy that thing that she could barely afford at that time. It was a painting done around the late 1800's and early 1900's, featuring a Borzoi, a Russian wolfhound in oil. Even as one can easily see that it is a lovely picture, to someone trained will enough and knows a lot about the Borzoi, he would easily spot that the artist chose to paint in an almost straight on pose, where only the shoulders and head of the dog are captured. But as you look at the chest and shoulders, you will see it's not proportional. Even as the woman's eyes were extremely familiar with such a breed and knew exactly how it must look like, she still got it despite thinking that she should not. The husband came home that evening and contrary to what his wife thought, him blowing up upon learning that she overspent on it instead of spending it on their kids' needs, it was strange how he too began to feel the same magnetic attraction to it like she did that day. In the long span of so many photo enthusiasts taking photos of it, both amateurs and experts, it was amazing how no two shots of the portrait ever came out exactly similar. In some the dog appears to be almost three dimensional, in others flat, in almost all of the pictures whether they were in color or black and white there have been strange lights and in some cases a spectral face has been seen on the right side of the portrait. There was a time that the portrait owners were debating whether or not an entity came with the picture, the man replied that, I think that we are all just being too imaginative and everything is just caused by some sorts of light reflections for there is nothing mysterious or strange about this wolfhound painting. A large plate made of ceramic, with a loud crash, fell on the floor but it was not broken into pieces, which was truly a mystery. When the producer director of the playhouse heard about the portrait he approached the people who owned it and told them that he was doing the, a story of the supernatural, and asked if it could be used on the set, the owners were very pleased to loan the picture to the Innocents production. They shared to the producer that they never got to know who moved into the house on the day this portrait was bought by them and maybe if they loaned it for a show like the Innocents, they can determine who. They wish that this was true, at least.
