The story goes like this, A teenage girl from Japan drew the haunted picture, scanned it on her computer and posted it online to spread the curse. She killed herself after posting it online. Her curse was that whoever sees the picture on the internet will feel the same pain she felt and take their own lives as well.

The picture even made them feel hopeless on their lives. The story isn't only big locally, the haunted picture even spread like wildfire to its neighboring countries such as Korea, Philippines, Thailand, etc. There are even various posts around Korean forums that says that anyone who sees the video gets too drawn to the girl in the picture's blue eyes. They even claimed that they can see a hint of wrath and frustration within those eyes. Therefore, The picture gained its reputation of injecting and translating pain to anyone, that it can provoke sadness just the same to the song ‘Gloomy Sunday," that had its unexplained way of making them feel sad.
Another creepy tidbit to the story is that when a person looks straight into the girls' blue eyes for more than 5 minutes, you will see it move and change from her calm look to distraught look. The said video got popular and the rest is history. There are different reactions from users around the world to this picture. Some are scared, pissed off and making fun of the said picture.
