Shane Dawson's "The Demon in my House"



Shane Dawson's latest video (above) is so cool. He talks about making his lifelong dream of making a horror movie come true, which I'm so proud of as a fan. Then, he talks about the haunting at his house. The story of his haunting is so fascinating and creepy. Check out the video!  


This painting is part of his haunting. I googled some info on it because it and his story intrigues me. 

The Portrait of Irène Cahen d’Anvers, or The Little Girl with the Blue Ribbon (FrenchLa Petite Fille au ruban bleu) or Little Irène (FrenchLa Petite Irène), is an oil painting by French Impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Commissioned by the wealthy French Jewish banker Louis Cahen d'Anvers in 1880, the painting depicts his daughter Irène Cahen d'Anvers at the age of 8. During World War II, the painting was stolen by the Nazis during their organized looting of European countries. In 1946 it resurfaced and was exhibited in Paris as one of the "French masterpieces found in Germany".
Irène Cahen d’Anvers (1872–1963), the subject of this painting, was 8 years old at the time of the portrait. The eldest daughter of the wealthy Jewish French banker Count Louis Cahen d'Anvers, she married Count Moïse de Camondo in 1891. They separated in August 1897 after her affair with de Camondo's stable master, Count Charles Sampieri, whom she would later marry and divorce.
Irène had two children with de Camondo, Nissim and Béatrice. During World War I Nissim became a fighter pilot of the French Air Force and was killed in action in 1917 over Lorraine.[5] In 1935, Moïse de Camondo bequeathed his Parisian mansion, at 63 rue de Monceau, including its contents and a major collection of art, to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs to be used to create the Musée Nissim de Camondo in honour of his and Irène's son. During World War II, Béatrice, her ex-husband and their two children were murdered by the Nazis in Auschwitz because of their Jewish ancestry.[6] As her daughter Béatrice's sole inheritor, Irène received the large de Camondo fortune. Irène also had a daughter with Sampieri, Claude, who would marry the French fighter ace and race car driver André Dubonnet. Irène lived until 1963 and died in Paris, aged 91.
