The Hands Resist Him is a 1972 acrylic painting by the artist Bill Stoneham. Originally conceived as a painting that symbolizes the veil between awake and dreaming, and journey through the realm of other lives and impossibility. Though it is also quite creepy of a painting with and without that context. The haunting part of the painting involves the timeline of where it has been.

Back in 2000 a californian couple listed it on eBay aiming to sell but also warning of a curse that comes with it. This curse caused the characters in the painting to move around at night, sometimes leave the painting and enter the room it resides in. During the time that the painting was for sale over 30,000 views took place with some people claiming to feel ill or have unpleasent experiances after viewing it. Eventually the painting was sold for $1025.00 to a gallery in Michigan.
