The Freakyest Thing EVER! - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

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.

Sorry to be a bit of a kill joy, but I don't see anything scary about the picture and Yes! I was starring at it. The artist does show great skill in the optical illusion created of the darkening eyes over time and I could have sworn that the neck got slightly longer but nothing inherently suicide provoking. This sounds more like a case of groupthink or placebo effect.

Hmm... yeah, the picture does seem to change a bit once in a while. I did see the darkening around the eyes, and it seemed that her gaze shifted once in a while... although I have to wonder if there are a lot of pictures that appear to change if you stare at them that long. Not that I feel like testing that out... I'm not that motivated =P.

As far as the suicidal thoughts thing goes, I'm certainly not feeling suicidal now. It takes a lot to kill my mood; I'm usually pretty darned happy.

It's an interesting picture, though.

Would have been better if it was one of those "RARRR" things.

HalfInsane · 24th Mar 2008, 10:39 PM

Ahaha, yeah! It'd probably have made me jump through the ceiling, though. XD

I want my 5 minutes back...

Trumpetplyer23 · 26th Mar 2008, 11:46 AM

I couldn't stare at her for five minutes. Not because she was freaky, but because my damn contact keeps blurring whenever I stare at something.
