  1. If I were in the place of my aunt and saw how one eye moves, then I would not pay attention to it and look what happened to him next. Soon I would leave the room to call my servants, because I would just be very interested in who and why could follow me. I wouldn’t be scared, because I’m not a girl from those children who are afraid of everything.

  6. If I were the aunt and saw it, first I would get really frightened. May be after a few minutes I would understand that it isn't a film - it is the reality and I should act. First I would quickly and quietly leave the room and lock it. Then I would call other people in the house and the police. The police would examine the room.

  7. If I were an aunt and saw one of the portrait's eyes move, I'd be scared at first, because it's unusual for me. As an aunt, I thought there was something supernatural about this house, but I couldn't calm down and I probably would have screamed.The servants would have heard my cry and come running to my room. Then I would do what the woman did, because I think it's the best option. Klimovich Daria

  9. Of course, I would be scared, because I live alone, and the only thing I have is the memory of my loved husband, who died. And the moment when the eye begins to move on the portrait is like a moment from the horror of Steven King, but this is the story of O. Henry so you could be sure that this is some kind of secret, the end of which will surprise everyone as happened in this story.

  11. I think, if I were the aunt and saw how one of the eyes move, I wouldn't pay attention. Also maybe I would think what happened with my mind. Also if I noticed it again, I would call people for help. By the way there's also one choice to burn the house and never come back)))

  18. Of course I would be scared. I don't know was it paranormal activity or some kind of killer hiding behind the portrait. I think I would do the same thing that Aunt did, because I have opportunity to call servants and they will help me. But I think I wouldn't have thought of overturning box with jewels to pick them up and move to the door. Saveli Gavrin.

  19. I would try to keep my eye on portrait for some the time to make sure i am not being delusional. I wouldn't get frightened cause you should keep your mind clear in this kind of situation. There is no need to let your feelings prevail over you.

  20. It really depends on time. If it was for example the daytime or early evening or morning I'ld be only a little bit surprised, but not frightened, took a camera and try to take a video of that strange and suspicious event. But if it was dark... Of course I would jump out of my skin and beat the picture to hell!
