When we look back at the history of human development, we can find many interesting objects and stories. In many cases, when one is unable to explain a thing by common sense, one may explain it in terms of conspiracy theories, supernatural phenomena, or the "curse" we are referring to today. Today, we want to share with you, the terrible curse: the 8 most mysterious and terrible curses that are widely regarded in Western society.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, Bassano vase</h1>
Curses come in many forms, but most of the time they seem to get stuck in some sort of object that wreaks havoc on those who possess them, including a wedding gift for a bride in northern Italy. The item is a 15th-century vase carved from sterling silver. It was supposed to be a rather luxurious wedding gift, but on the bride's wedding night, she died, and people found her on the ground, and her hand clutched the vase deadly.
Later, the bride's family got the vase, which was passed from one member to another, but each of their contacts died in an abnormal way. Later, the vase, which was thought to be a curse, was buried in the ground. It wasn't until 1988 that it was excavated again. Text is also attached to it to remind people to beware of the death curse it brings.
The person who found the vase sold it to a pharmacist, who died 3 months later, and later doctors and archaeologists bought it, and all suffered misfortune. Eventually the police detained it and tried to donate it to the museum, but the museum was also afraid to keep it because of rumors of the curse. Eventually, the vase was buried in a lead box and buried in the ground, and has since disappeared.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder</h1>
There are many stories about the bizarre or unusual deaths of celebrities, but when it comes to Hollywood movie star James Dean, his death is haunting for many because the car he drove at the time of his death was very unlucky. James is a car fan who already owned a Porsche 356 by the time he made the legendary film Rebel Without a Cause, but he decided to upgrade his car to the Porsche 550 Spyder. But then James died in an accident while driving the Porsche 550 Spyder.
George Barris, who was originally customized for the 550, bought the wrecked car for $2500. It didn't take long for the car to slip off the trailer and break a repairman's leg. Soon after, Barrys sold the engine and drivetrain to Troy McHenry and William Escired. While the two were driving a car containing parts for James' crashed car, McHenry's car suddenly lost control, crashed into a tree, and died instantly. Esquery was also seriously injured, and his car suddenly lost control and overturned while cornering.
Barris also had two 550 tyres that hadn't been touched in Dean's accident. He sold them, and it wasn't long before they exploded at the same time, causing the new owner's car to run off the road. Barris had been hiding the car in his garage, and the parts on the car that were not for sale attracted the attention of two thieves. One of the thieves had his arm torn apart while trying to steal the steering wheel, and the other was injured while trying to remove the bloodstained plaid seat.
Since all the accidents were related to the car that was involved, Barrys decided to hide the car, but was persuaded by the California Highway Patrol to lend it to a road safety exhibit. As a result, the first exhibition was not successful, because the garage where the car was parked caught fire and was burned to the ground. Mysteriously, the car suffered almost no damage in the fire. The next exhibition ended abruptly at a local high school when the car fell off the stand and injured the buttocks of a nearby student.
The curse on the car continued, as the truck carrying it lost control during its transit, causing the driver to fall out and then somehow squashed by the car that fell from behind. Fortunately for many, it's gone, and people don't seem to have to worry about it anymore.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, the tomb of King Casimir</h1>
In 1973, the grave of the late King Casimir of Poland was discovered and a "curse" was born. Because 4 of the 12 people involved in the excavation of the tomb died within a few days. In the following years, more people died. Eventually, 15 people died because of the opening of the mausoleum. These 15 people were originally there, or who appeared after the burial chamber was opened, and were therefore all exposed to some form of "curse".
After years of speculation, the researchers finally found the true cause of the deaths of more than 15 people linked to the study. The culprit is the same killer as the killer in Egyptian tombs, Aspergillus aflex, which is a saprophytic and pathogenic fungus. This fungus can cause infection because it is toxic to mammals. It may cause some asthma and allergies. However, if a person's immunity is weak, Aspergillus aflex can lead to fatal consequences.
It is believed that this fungus appeared in the tombs of kings during the medieval period, and when the tombs were opened, it attacked everything around it. It also made researchers realize that researchers who entered the tomb should be healthy enough, and if the resistance was too low, there was a risk of infection.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >4, Kennedy Curse</h1>
The Kennedy family has a long history of politics, with its most famous member, John F. Kennedy, a former president of the United States. But after his assassination, it seems that history, fate, and even higher power are playing tricks on his family and making them suffer. This is where the Kennedy curse begins.
The Kennedy Curse first began with President Kennedy's brother, Robert Kennedy, who was beloved but was shot dead in 1986. Robert Kennedy's fourth son, David Kennedy, died of a drug overdose in a hotel room in Florida in 1984. Then in 1997, another son of Robert F. Kennedy, Michael Kennedy, was killed while hitting a tree during a skiing.
In 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., the son of John F. Kennedy, was killed in a plane crash off the coast of Martha's Vineyard island, Massachusetts, which brought the Kennedy family the next major misfortune. Because in the accident, in addition to John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife and children died.
In short, since then, the Kennedy family has had a large number of unnatural deaths, and until today in 2020, there have also been the deaths of Meve Kennedy Townsend McKean and his son in a canoe overturn.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >5, The Curse of the Tippercanu River</h1>
The curse of the Tippakanu River is said to have followed an act by the President of the United States, and it all began with President William Harrison, who led the U.S. army in the titular Tippakanu River against the Indian chief Tekumsai. Since Harrison became president in 1840, every 20 years, the elected president has been assassinated. Lincoln was killed five years after the Election in 1860, and two other assassinations against James Garfield and William McKinley occurred in 1880 and 1900. Of course, some people think that this so-called curse is just a coincidence.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >6, chairs on the Busby porch</h1>
At the end of the 17th century, Daniel Aveti had a business relationship with a man named Thomas Busby. But two quarrels changed their lives forever.
Aveti was angry that Busby had married his daughter, and Busby was angry that Aveti was sitting in his favorite chair. Busby then kills Aveti, who is arrested and sentenced to death by hanging. After their deaths, the chairs that Busby left behind began to be associated with many deaths. Because many of the people who sat on the chairs later died mysteriously, legend has it that 63 people died because of the chairs. As the legend of the curse continued to expand, the chair was hung so that no one sat on it again, thus ending the curse.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >7, the curse of the pharaoh</h1>
Few curses are as legendary and infamous as the curse of King Tutankhamun's tomb. It is said that the people who opened the tomb were slowly killed one by one in order to open the tomb. The curse was real in the ten years after the tomb was opened. In 1923, 5 of the 23 people present died. Not all people die normally, for example one person died from a mosquito bite. Soon the curse of the pharaoh was hyped up by the media. Especially when all the deaths were confirmed to be real, it brought great panic. But in fact, before many tombs, some ancient pathogens were preserved inside. Over time, when people open tombs, they may become infected by contact with them and eventually cause death.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >8, The Curse of the Hope Diamond</h1>
Of the historically cursed items, few have been so widely believed as the Diamond of Hope. So many people began to refuse to touch the diamond, because in the curse legend, anyone who touched it would perish in one form or another.
Legend has it that a Hindu stole the gem at a temple in India, but was discovered the next day. In order to prevent greed, the temple priests cursed him, cursing anyone who got him for an ominous ending.
Legend has it that it entered Europe around 1642, a French merchant bought it, and eventually it was sold to Louis XIV, and later, the man who sold the gem to Louis XIV was executed. Louis XVI inherited the gem and gave it to the queen, who later died on the guillotine. Many of those who came into contact with the diamond died for various reasons, and it wasn't until it was later taken in by a jeweler named Winston that the curse seemed to end. Later, he donated it to the National Museum of Natural History.
Although these curses contain a large number of real events, in the editor's opinion, the so-called curses are either related to scientific facts, such as germs in tombs, or coincidences that have been deliberately amplified. What do you think of these curses?
