The story is about a painting of a crying child, from an Italian painter (Giovanni Bragolin) very well known in Spain. The painting was found intact in several burned houses. Therefore the legend says that anyone owning this painting would one night hear the boy crying, so he can distract you and murder you, and burn down the house afterwards to erase the evidence.
