Woman Surprised as ‘Cursed’ Artwork Returns After Sale
A woman in the UK experienced an unusual incident after selling a piece of artwork on the online marketplace Vinted. The item, described as a “creepy” embroidered picture of a horse, was returned to her home despite the buyer having accepted the delivery and left positive feedback. This unexpected turn of events left Sarah McElliott feeling “spooked.”
Sarah, who shares content on TikTok under the username @sarahandherfriends, detailed the experience in a video. Her daughter had recently started using Vinted to sell items, and this particular picture, purchased from a charity shop due to her love of horses, was among the first listings. After the parcel was sent off and payment processed, Sarah was shocked to find it back on her doorstep.
The package had not only returned but was misdelivered to her ex-mother-in-law’s house before being brought to her. “What on earth? Has anyone else had this happen?” Sarah stated in her video, clearly perplexed by the situation. The buyer had given positive feedback, indicating they had received the item, yet Sarah held the parcel in her hands, suggesting otherwise.
As she unwrapped the package, Sarah confirmed that the contents were unharmed and bore the original packaging. The inscription on the back read: “Sarah McElliott age 14 years, 1981,” indicating that the embroidered piece had a personal history. “Now I think we can’t get rid of this; it keeps coming back to us even though we sold it,” she remarked, reflecting on the eerie nature of the situation.
Sarah expressed her unease, but viewers offered various interpretations. Some speculated that the buyer might have mistakenly accepted the wrong listing or completed feedback prematurely. Others suggested a more mystical explanation, with one viewer asserting, “This is a haunted picture, they exist! There is a spirit connected to this picture, and it wants to stay with you!”
The incident resonated with others online, prompting a TikTok user to share a similar experience. They recounted finding a wooden clog in their vehicle’s glove box after having discarded it. Despite their efforts to rid themselves of the item, it mysteriously reappeared, leading them to sell the car shortly thereafter.
As Sarah’s story circulates, it raises questions about the nature of items we acquire and the stories they carry. Whether a simple case of misdelivery or something more enigmatic, her experience highlights the unexpected surprises that can come from online transactions. For now, Sarah remains puzzled but entertained by the peculiar return of the “cursed” artwork.
