In the 80s, a "series" of fires broke out and destroyed many homes and businesses in England, all of which having a print of a painting known as 'The Crying Boy'. The painting has ever since been rumoured to be haunted.

Obviously, 'The Crying Boy' was not the cause of the fires, it was just that most homes in the 80s England had that print, as it was a popular one, and people found a pattern where there wasn't one.
