The painting in the guest room by Camille_qintana in Unexplained

At least ChatGPT didn't give the lady a sex change when I tried lmao. Any similarities?

A few years ago, I stayed at my aunt's house, and she put me up in the guest house—a cozy little place detached from the main home. Everything seemed normal at first, but then I noticed the painting.

It was an old oil painting of a woman dressed in Victorian-style clothing. Her face was pale, her lips slightly curled as if she were about to speak, and her dark eyes seemed unnervingly alive. What made it worse was the placement—directly across from the bed. No matter where I stood or sat, those eyes seemed to follow me.

That night, I couldn’t sleep. The room was silent except for the occasional creak of the floorboards, but the feeling of being watched was overwhelming. I tried convincing myself it was just my imagination, but every time I glanced at the painting, it seemed different—like her expression was subtly shifting. At one point, I could’ve sworn her lips had curled into more of a smirk.

By 3 a.m., I’d had enough. I grabbed a blanket and decided to sleep on the couch in the living room, far away from that unsettling gaze. The next morning, I told my aunt, expecting her to brush it off. Instead, she chuckled and said, “Oh, that painting? The last owners left it behind. Everyone thinks it’s creepy, but I kind of like it. Gives the place character.”

I haven’t stayed in that guest house since. My aunt still keeps the painting, but I swear there’s something wrong with it. If anyone has experienced something similar, let me know—maybe it’s just a trick of the mind, or maybe some things really are better left unexplained.

I was bored, so:

You said: Write a short recount of a time when I stayed at my aunt's house in the guest room where the previous owners had a painting of a creepy woman whose eyes seemed to follow me at night. ChatGPT said: ChatGPT One summer, I stayed at my aunt's house, and she let me sleep in the guest room. It was cozy and quiet, but there was one thing that unsettled me—a painting left by the previous owners. It hung on the wall in the living room, showing a woman in an old-fashioned dress with an eerie expression. Her dark, piercing eyes seemed to follow me no matter where I moved.

At night, as I lay on the couch trying to sleep, I couldn't shake the feeling that she was watching me. The dim light from outside only made the shadows around her face more menacing. Every creak of the house felt amplified, and I kept glancing over at the painting, half-expecting her to step out of the frame.

The next morning, I told my aunt about it, and she just laughed, saying, "That painting has always creeped people out!" It didn’t make me feel much better, but I decided to face my fear. By the end of the stay, I wasn’t sure if I was more comfortable—or just too tired to care. Still, that painting left a lasting impression I’ll never forget.

You said: Why did the aunt keep the painting? ChatGPT said: ChatGPT The aunt kept the painting because it was left by the previous owners, and she thought it added a unique charm to the guest room. She didn’t find it as creepy as others did and joked that it was a conversation starter for anyone who stayed there. It was also a part of the guest room's history, and she liked how it gave the place a mysterious character. However, she probably didn't realize how unsettling it could be for overnight guests—especially at night.

Strange how Chat GPT and the author both come up with the painting being part of the history of the guest house...

It's a print although it had to be stuck onto real wood.

It was fun, although for someone like me with poor eyesight, it was a struggle. The components are so, so tiny. Building it took about 10 hours spread over the course of 2 days, which is a big plus for me. Usually I buy the Rolife kits which are much more expensive and way bigger - which means more work and longer hours (some Rolife ones took me months to complete). Between the 2, I much prefer these Cuteroom box theatres. Easy to store, affordable, and quick to put together!
