Summary

During the 1980’s, a series of mysterious fires ripped across England, each with one eerie detail in common: every charred home contained the same painting, all untouched by the flames. In this episode, we investigate the curse of the infamous "Crying Boy" paintings now housed in the Newkirk Museum of the Paranormal. Plus, we phone Kindred Spirits' Amy Bruni for details on a spontaneously combusting doll, Greg admits to beating up children, and Connor takes on yet another alter-ego. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, because this episode gets heated!
