A woman has gone viral after purchasing a portrait containing real human hair and teeth for £280.
Beckie-Ann Galentine previously hit the headlines for sharing her home with a ghost, as well as purchasing supposedly haunted items from Facebook Marketplace.
Now the paranormal investigator has bought her perhaps most eerie item yet: a portrait of a Victorian boy which includes his hair and teeth.
Sharing her purchase on TikTok (@mybloodygalentine ), the clip has quickly racked up over 554,000 views.

“I usually see listings and decide I need to have them based on the general energy of the piece,” the 31-year-old, from Connecticut, USA, told What’s The Jam.
“I don’t believe the picture is as macabre as it sounds – as sensational as the posts made it seem, I believe it is a “coming of age” piece.
“He was transitioning from childhood and it would have been customary to cut his long hair.
“The teeth, I suspect are his baby teeth, although I haven’t opened the bag to find out, nor do I intend to.”
Despite a price tag marking the piece as £440 ($560), Beckie-Ann nabbed the strange object for only £280 ($360) on eBay.

She added: “To me, I don’t feel any of the objects are “creepy.”
“This one has certainly been the most controversial, but I shifted my perspective a long time ago and don’t apply today’s standards to them.
“I believe in respect and preserving memory.

“I don’t intend to exploit these stories and only share to allow a wider audience to gain perspective on the topic of Victorian mementos.”
