Cursed Histories

You don't have to believe, but you should beware...

You can’t out run a curse…

 

Was it bad luck? Or something more sinister? Harrowing tales linger like a poisonous cloud around places, people and objects that seem fraught with misfortune. A cursed item, a dangerous locale, or a dread-filled warning spark a series of tragedies and hardships. Too disturbing to be coincidence, what’s the truth behind history’s most macabre timelines?

 

As we separate myth, legend, and lore from reality, we break down the most dreadful of curses. From an insect-like man who brought tragedy to a small town, to a bloody signature that spelled disaster for a whole city, history brims with stories of wickedness inflicted on the living. What’s the truth behind the stories of the afflicted — whom did curse victims unwittingly anger? And what set off a dark chain of events

 

Learn how one misstep can set off a ripple of suffering. From the tomb of Tutankhamen to the Hope Diamond to the Lost City of Frenier, history is riddled with people, places, and objects that spread utterly wicked, unbridled chaos.

 

In the wake of death and disaster, how did these curses come to be? Whose wrath is responsible? What’s the truth behind the unlucky? And can anyone ever hope to contain it?
