Bizarre search keyphrases

I was rummaging through the baltiblogs global search stats and found this gem:

there was this dude in the 70s who painted a painting called hands resist him. it later resurfaced recently 2000 ish on e bay as the haunted painting! ppl who look at it have fallen ill passed out gone nuts or died shortly after within a year . the

No joke - the whole thing was one search phrase. When I tried re-googling it, eebmore came up as #10.

Now I'm curious to know if there's an actual story behind that, or if it's just some kid messing with people's stats.

???!!!! I've never seen a sentence even remotely similar to this. But, cool, completely unrelated google searches are leading people to my site.
