A CURSED painting of a young girl has caused havoc at a morbid London tourist attraction, staff fear.
The London Bridge Experience bought the portrait for £1,600 – and workers’ lives have been blighted since.

Kennedy NewsZoe Elliott-Brown, from Hastings, East Sussex, bought the painting in September and said it turned her life upside down[/caption]
Manager James Kislingbury’s car broke down on his way to collect the piece before he injured his collar bone.
At the venue – which covers the capital’s history of death – cameras have switched off and Wifi has stopped working.
All their TV’s in the attraction went down and again the tech team came in and couldn’t find a reason.
Lights have flickered and a figure in a black skirt was spotted by staff member Shannon Fagan in the morning.
Shannon told The Sun: “We searched on eBay for some props for our new show and came across the portrait. It sort of lured James in.
“When he went into the previous owner’s home the dog was going mad and on his way back his car started having issues.
“We’ve had it for a month now and things have gotten worse since we unwrapped it for the shoe and placed it on the wall.
“Without any warning the Wi-Fi and the TV have turned off and stopped working.”
Shannon said staff are used to spooky goings-on because of the grim history around the attraction’s site at London Bridge.
But she says the venue has no plans to ditch the painting, which was crafted by an unknown artist.
Shannon added: “We are used to having activity here where we are located but this is something else.
“A pair of handcuffs were swinging this morning and I saw a woman in a black skirt out of the corner of my eye.
“One of the members of staff came running in and said ‘oh my God’! Since we’ve had the painting it’s just been worse.”
It comes after a mum was forced to flog the artwork after her house in Hastings, East Sussex, nearly burnt down.
Last month Zoe Elliot-Brown said the portrait ruined her family’s life.
It was previously returned twice by terrified customers at a charity shop and carried the warning “possibly cursed”.
It was among half-a-dozen pictures donated by a grey-haired man at the Hastings Advice Representation Centre in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex.
A cheeky note on the front of the item read: “Are you brave enough?”
