I was given this by a relative because I collect antique photos. Ever since it's been in our home, everyone has had a bad feeling about it. My dog barks at it anytime he's in the room with it.
My son (3 at the time) told us the guys name is Joseph (we do not know a Joseph) and that he and his family were very poor and they died of starvation during the winter.
My husband has always hated it so I finally gave in and told him to take it to the garage until garbage day. When I came time to throw it out, my husband for some reason saved it and kept it in the garage.
Then finally last week, he decided he was throwing it out and while on the phone with me (I was out of town), he walked it to the end of the driveway and left it with the garbage.
Well today I sent my husband downstairs to get a small chalkboard to take my sons end of the year school picture. I told him it was behind the door in our laundry room. I heard him yell "What the hell!" He came upstairs with the chalkboard and proceeded to tell me Joseph's picture is back and behind the door in our laundry room just hanging out there.
My husband swears up and down that he 100% threw the picture away and that was that. Now a week later it's back in my house and hidden behind a door in my laundry room.
Tonight is garbage night again so I watched my husband walk it to the garbage and throw it on the pile. Let's see if Joseph comes back. What could this be? Is the picture haunted? How the hell did it get back into my house? I have so many questions but don't know where to turn so I figured I would try here. I find it weird that I've always been attached to it and at one point my husband who hated it felt that he couldn't part with it. I felt bad tonight watching him take it out.

I'd just hang onto it. Put it in a closet or something. It's not like it would take up that much room and clearly getting rid of it isn't what it wants. Why invite trouble? Put it in the attic or something and don't worry about it.

If you absolutely have to get rid of it, dump ammonia mixed with salt onto the painting. Ammonia by itself will fuck the picture up beyond all recognition, the salt is just there to dispel any spooky shit that might be going on.

I'd DEFINATELY hang onto it
It might not be the person in the picture who wants it saved. It might be someone who loved him and that's their only memory.
Like the other guy said just put it in the attic or something.

your husband may be having a laugh.
still, ask your relative who this guy was. he may be a distant relative of yours, in which case keep the photo and try to find out what's going on with that family story if you are so inclined.
keep us posted anon!

OP again. I unfortunately cannot hang on to Joseph. My husband took him out last night for garbage night. I'm curious to see if we find him back in the house.
I couldn't get much info on him. My Aunt found him in a house my family owned. It was there as long as anyone could remember. It used to be a very prominent family that lived there. She said that the house had blackened walls from burning wood in the house. My picture had a black film still on it. The back was starting to tear and it was covered with soot inside when I looked. No one knows who he is or what his name is. I just know what my son randomly said one day about him. He will forever be Joseph to our family.

Picture is from the 1910s judging by his facial hair. Very few men were shaved before 1910. His age is between 15 and 22. Looks like a sharp guy. I had a reallllly old picture of relatives had I known from the same era on my wall and it freaked my girlfriend at the time out. It's just a culture clash from different eras. Your husband is also fucking with you for giggles. When i was a kid I made up morbid storys all the time. Kids watch tv and overhear their parents talking about buring a ghost picture to death, kids come up with stuff.

Edit. Picture was in my house. Suicide was not, I just thought I would make that clear. He was exceptionally close with my mom, they had a sort of spooky psychic connection to the point where she called the police while she was at work when he died because, and to quote her, she "just knew something was wrong, like bad wrong."
