Here are ten of the most horribly cursed objects that have caused great harm to people…
The real Annabelle doll looks very different from the evil one depicted in the movies The Conjuring and Annabelle. The doll is currently locked behind glass at Lorraine Warren’s museum in Monroe, Connecticut. Warren is the self-proclaimed “demonologist” who investigated the original case and was played by Vera Farmiga in The Conjuring. Supposedly someone who taunted the Raggedy Ann doll in its case died three hours later.
James Dean’s Porsche, which he called “Little Bastard,” is said to be cursed. Not only did James Dean die when it crashed, but a mechanic had his legs crushed afterwards while working around it. The transmission, engine and tires were all put onto cars that were soon involved in deadly accidents. Then a truck carrying the chassis fatally wrecked, and that was the last of Little Bastard ever seen.
In Judaism a Dybbuk is a restless spirit that possesses the living. The box, in this case, is an artifact that dates back to the time of the Holocaust. Previous owner Kevin Mannis listed the cursed box on E-bay, describing it as an old wine cabinet. It is claimed that whoever opens the box is met with misfortune. Past owners all claim to have had the same ghastly nightmares of an old hag haunting them. Some allege that the box burns out the lights in the room or causes bruises on their bodies. One owner died of a stroke the day they received it as a gift.
The curse of King Tut’s tomb is a tale that has caught the public eye for decades. An archaeologist known as Howard Carter found the tomb on 4th November 1922. It was a historically significant find for him and his crew. However, within seven years of the discovery, eleven people connected to Carter’s party died of some of the most bizarre causes. The number rose to 21 by the year 1935. Critics attribute the mysterious deaths to a fungus, but the inscription on the tomb says it all, “Death shall come on swift wings to anyone who disturbs the king’s peace.” And that’s exactly what Carter and his crew did.
When Key West artist Robert Eugene Otto — or Gene, as he was more commonly known to his family — was four years old, he was given a doll as a gift. As the story goes, the doll looked kind of human, but kind of not; he wore a sailor suit and carried a toy of his own, a miniature stuffed lion. Gene named him Robert, and from the moment he first appeared, weird events plagued the family’s home. Gene’s parents would periodically hear Gene giggling with someone — an unknown person with a deep-sounding voice — as they walked by his closed bedroom door; furniture overturned in rooms in which Robert sat; Gene began having horrible nightmares; toys would disappear and reappear, mutilated; and whenever something went wrong, Gene would utter the phrase, “Robert did it.” Even after Robert was banished to the attic, passersby claimed to see a small figure moving from window to window. Many believe the doll to be cursed.
