baby look away from there aunt familia warned it won't do you any good they concluded with their nightly offerings at their camadona a traditional shinto family shrine usami bade her aunt goodnight that night as she slept she heard a sweet loving whisper usami she sprang awake and saw that just outside her window was a beautiful woman she knew instantly it was her mother her mother told her how desperately she wanted to see her but her aunt familia forbade usumi was confused why would her aunt do that her mother explained that aunt familia was unable to have children of her own and was jealous of her brother's blessings her mother claimed that her aunt killed her own brother and banished her sister-in-law so she could raise usmi as her own suddenly anfamio turned on the lights what are you doing it's late usumi turned to the window to see her mother was gone the next day usumi couldn't think of anything else her mind was clouded with questions as well as rage at her aunt for lying at breakfast she coyly asked aunt familia to relay the story of her parents passing her aunt told the same story she always did that of a tragic avalanche and a child saved but unfamiliar's tone betrayed a distinct annoyance she told usumi she was tired of talking about Onibaba urban legend it her aunt then left for work but not before placing another offering at their shrine that night as her aunt slept usumi patiently waited at the window sure enough her mother reappeared usumi begged her to come inside her mother said she would but only if usumi destroyed the family shrine usumi didn't understand their camodona was sacred it contained amulets and keepsakes that protected the house poor girl aunt familio tricked you again she desecrates our cameldona with curses that trap you here and keep me from entering her mother explained usumi was furious filled with a desire for righteous vengeance she marched up to their shrine and angrily shoved it over it splintered and shattered sending shards of wood and porcelain flying everywhere anfamio ran into the room and exclaimed my dear usumi what have you done just then all the windows shattered and every door flung open as a shadow appeared over them the voice of usumi's mother thundered at last the shadow transformed until towering over niece and aunt was a hideous creature with a human head and a spider's body on familial cried out your mother is the juragumo an ancient goblin she made it with your father and killed him all i ever wanted was to shield you from such danger and tragedy usually stood between her mother and her aunt her mother beckoned and promised that now they could be together anfamio told her that the jury gumo has no love for anyone she would consume her daughter piece by piece just like her father before her then her aunt stopped talking and when usumi looked at the woman she found that she had been impaled by one of her own mother's legs her mother spun her dying aunt into a webbed cocoon and then instructed her daughter to come home with her to her real home on the mountain at that moment usumi was overwhelmed lied to traumatized she had no one anymore no one except her mother

Ireland's Scariest Fairy Tales & Myths and the Legends Behind Them

With st. Patrick's Day right around the corner we thought we would talk about some Irish fairy tales or more specifically the fairies that live inside the fairy tales just a fair warning though these fairies aren't quite as happy and helpful as our beloved tooth fairy or Tinkerbell in fact some of these fairies are downright scary and have got us thinking that we might just need to start celebrating Halloween on st. Patrick's Day instead so let's sit down and go through some Irish fairy tales the pooka the pooka could either be your best friend or your worst nightmare depending on their mood that day like a lot of Irish fairies they're said to be a shapeshifter but they often like to take the form of a dark black horse with golden or red glowing eyes if you find yourself lost and a horse like this offers you a ride you should probably politely decline hookahs love to trick humans into wild rides with the sole purpose of terrifying the rider then they dump them off exactly where they pick them up with nothing but a new terrible experience and a long walk home during these wild nights they also love to cause a little domestic chaos as well breaking down fences and ruining crops while they're at it there are all kinds of tales recounting not-so-great encounters with pookas stories like this one passed down from 1813 during a fox hunt a wild black horse with no rider appeared and began tempting the hounds to continue chasing the Fox even as they neared a dangerous Gorge ahead the horse easily leaped across the gorge disappearing into woodlands but the pack of hounds hard on scent of Fox went headlong into pool he wept as most of the pack went under suddenly his sorrow gave way to terror he heard a diabolical name like an animal laughing from woods opposite Brennan knew then that it was puka after a story like that it's pretty hard to find any redeeming qualities in the pooka they do however help out rural farmers from time to time as long as the farmers have made offerings to them of course it said the farmer should leave a few stalks behind during harvest as a puka share in order to appease them and stop any potential mischief from happening on their property some stories even tell the farmers being able to befriend the pooka who then helped the farmers with their crops and helped bring the family happiness and prosperity for the rest of their days so maybe this murderous and destructive prankster is just misunderstood after all either way we'll leave a few years of corn outside the door this year just to be safe d'leh hon sorry Ichabod Crane but Dullahan might have beat you to the punch on this whole Headless Horseman business de la Han carries his all-seeing head around with him as he travels the irish countryside on his devilish horse it's not always just one singular ghoulish horse though often times he's seen traveling on the black coach with as many as six horses in tow just in case that wasn't terrifying enough he also uses a human spine as a whip oh and did we mention that wherever he goes death follows you'll want to avoid eye contact with him at all costs if you look at him he might just use that whip of his to blind you either that or he will throw a bucket of blood all over you neither option really being the greatest but it could be worse though it could be you he's roaming the countryside for if he happens to call out your name well we hope your affairs are in order because death will immediately follow Hanlan's mill fairy urban legends of ireland describes a brief encounter with the Dullahan poor mix heart almost died within him but he said nothing only looked on and the black coach swept away and was soon lost among some distant trees next morning early he was standing at the roadside when he saw Dan Madden coming on to master's best horse down the hill Dan wiping the tears from his eye with the sleeve of his coat who'd have thought that the first thing I'd see this morning was the mistress standing at my bedside and bidding me get up and ride off like fire for dr. Johnson for the master had got a fit and poor Dan's grief choked his voice Oh Mick don't fret too much because even the scariest of the scary have things they're afraid of as it turns out della Han is terrified of gold even in small amounts which is great news for all of us penny-pinchers all you need to do is throw some on the ground and he is coming for you to scare him off your trail needless to say we may need to befriend some leprechauns too our hands on some extra gold the stay prepared banshees why have just one bringer of death when you can have two banshees are another infamous fairy from Ireland that death happens to be pretty close friends with unlike that last guy though banshees are simply warning of an upcoming death rather than bringing it along with them in the tale how Thomas Connelly met the banshee this type of fairy is described as as pale as a corpse and the two eyes sewn with thread from the terrible power of crying they had to do as blue as to forget-me-nots and as cold as the moon in a bog hole of a frosty night and a dead and alive look at them that sent a cold shiver through the marrow of my bones the Banshee is often described this way a woman dressed in white clothing that is usually blood stained with an incredibly pale complexion and all white hair urban legend says that if you hear the ear piercing cry of a banshee you or a relative will die within 24 hours so unlike that Dullahan guy at least the banshee gives you a little bit of time for some final goodbyes to your loved ones changelings as if raising a child isn't hard enough some fairies like to go ahead and throw changelings into the mix fairies are often envious of human children and like to swap out their own fairy children for their human counterparts fairy children aren't the typical bundles of joy that we're all used to know these guys are only ever happy when bad things happen in the household the changeling will screech and yell and take all happiness away from its unknowingly adoptive family some tales say one of the only ways to get your real child back are through extreme methods a tale passed on by Thomas Keatley in 1850 tells the story of two travelers who happened upon a child in the wilderness they brought the child back to his home only to find the mother and a changeling in the home already they're in a rather risky and potentially cruel test they lift the straw underneath the child on fire to get rid of the changeling who fled before being burned to end the matter at once the lads produced the real child healthy and Hardy and they forthwith proceeded to dispose of their new charge for this purpose they got an old Creole to put him in and some straw to light under it seeing the serious turn matters were likely to take he resolved not to await the trial but flew up the smoke hole and went at the top he cried out that things would have gone very differently with them had it not been for the arrival of their guests you don't need to jump straight into homemade witch trials though others have said that loving and caring for the changeling enough to see it become happy and healthy will make their fairy parents jealous and swap them back for your own happy and healthy child so put down the torches and pick up the changeling and you'll likely have your baby back in no time grow gawk we promise not all fairies are so bad though in fact the grow [ __ ] actually sounds like they may be a dream come true these fairies are said to possess the power of invisibility and will only finally reveal themselves to you once they know you are trustworthy once they do it's time to kick up your feet and let them take over some of your household chores they'll scurry around completing The Sluagh urban legend some of your dirty work and they'll do all of this for the simple payment of a jug of cream now let's say our new friend has worn out their welcome which is definitely a possibility as many stories like the one in leprechauns the myths legends and lore have been told over the years in spite of their stupidity the house of screaming skull urban legend grog rocks were extremely good hearted and eager to do good turns indeed they were so eager to please that they invariably became pests about the house they would run about often invisibly trying to do small chores for the woman of the house and would usually end up creating more mess than they cleared well if this is the case all you have to do is invite over your local priest bishop or anyone who is part of the church your new friend turned nuisance will tuck tail and run away as they are terrified of the clergy even if they quickly were out there welcome they'd still be welcomed guests compared to the other fairies we've mentioned after learning more about all of these fairies I think it's safe to say we'll try our best to steer clear of them for now and try and stick to the fairy godmothers we've grown accustomed to if you have another favorite Irish legend let us know down in the comments below a happy st. Patrick's Day and don't forget to carry around some spare gold just in case della Hahn wants to make a quick visit to your neighborhood this year.

6 Japanese Urban Legends

yokoso peeps it's oz happy halloween and welcome to my halloween video in this video i'll be telling you about six monsters to look out for in japan so awesome this video is brought to you by all my patreon supporters go team awesome before i begin talking about these stories please make sure to subscribe to my channel because i'm almost at 24 000 subscribers also please join my free newsletter i send it out once a month the link is in the information section below if you subscribe to that newsletter you will get videos that are not available on youtube as well as our free articles to read that are about japan both the dark and the bright side of japan now as you know japan is famous for monsters like godzilla or ghosts like the the girl in juwon or sadako in the ring but i'm going to be talking about ancient japanese ghosts from japanese urban legends and folklore there's actually hundreds of these monsters ghosts beasts and mythical creatures but i'm going to be talking about six kuchisaki so the legend of kuchi sake ona actually started an edo period in the 17th and 19th century but it became really popular in the 70s in the 1970s these stories of this monster lady hit newspapers and weekly magazines and it was such a cause such a panic in japan at the time that a lot of kids were scared to walk alone to school and back so the pta the parent teacher association had to escort them or accompany them there's different variations of the legend but according to some of the stories i read it starts with a woman who was the wife of a samurai however she cheated on her samurai husband and she was caught being adulterous as a punishment for infidelity her husband the samurai slit her face for her mouth from ear to ear she was shamed and disfigured and when she died her ghost became a vengeful ghost her ghost continued to haunt japan and she would be out and about and she'd be wearing a surgical mask kind of like what all the japanese people were now and the world wears now because of corona she would also carry a large metal object some people say it's a knife other people say it's scissors or skype and usually she'd be walking around the town looking for victims most of whom were children she'd walk up to a victim and she would ask am i beautiful and if the person replied no she would slash them and kill them if they replied yes she would then remove her mask showing her disfigured mouth and open bloody wounds and gashes and all her like nasty teeth then she would ask again am i beautiful and if they answered no she would of course once again slash them and kill them however if you answered yes she would spare your life but she would use her weapon to slit your mouth from ear to ear however there was a way to escape kuchisaki onna legend when she asked am i beautiful instead of saying yes or no if you kind of did something that was kind of like an ambiguous answer she would get confused and that would give you time to run away another version of the story says that instead of answering if you give her caramel candies or throw caramel candies on the floor or money on the floor when she reaches down to pick them up you have a chance to escape either way because kuchi sakiona wore a mask it was hard to tell who she was until it was too late kappa are these weird mythical creatures that live in rivers and ponds across japan they are part amphibian and part human their skin is green and scaly they have webbed feet and arms and they also have a large shell on their back similar to a turtle they also have a dish indentation in their head where they place water this is the source of their power and must remain wet at all times though they're the size of children they're actually powerful much stronger than even men they thrive in the water they're excellent swimmers and for some reason they have three anuses they're known to be weak on land which is why they mostly stay in the river according to japanese legend kappas are actually very intelligent and very mischievous they love eating cucumbers and the innards of humans they do a lot of weird things like sometimes they make loud farting noises in public or they look up girls women's kimonos but other times they hate cows and horses and they usually like attack them so although kappas are are not that dangerous outside of water it's in the water where they're the most dangerous so if you're swimming in the water they will attack you especially children and women they love to attack them and eat them while someone is in the water or while they're swimming they'll come up from underneath and they'll bite your anus and they'll pull you in underwater until you drown and then they will eat your remains but despite being so violent against humans they can also be very loyal and friendly so it's said that if you meet a kappa on land the best thing to do is to greet it and to bow politely as low as possible and because kappas are so honorable and loyal they will bow back and when they bow down the water that's in their dish in their head will fall out and they'll grow weak this gives the humans the upper hand and if you offer them water and you offer to hydrate them again they will forever be loyal to you and japanese people really believe in the kappa so much that even to this day in the summer festivals they offer cucumbers as an act of kindness toward kappa [Music] akka means red and manto means cape so akamanto is a creature that wears a red cape it's actually a male spirit and he wears a mask and apparently he's a very good looking spirit when he was alive he was a good looking guy and he was a serial killer even after his death he continued to be a serial killer and he haunts bathrooms especially women's bathrooms and school bathrooms and he always waits in the last stall so it's recommended to not use the last doll if you don't want to come in contact with akamanto this story was actually quite popular in the 1930s especially with school children so the story goes once you're in the last stall akamanto approaches you and he gives you an option kind of like morpheus in the matrix with the blue pill or the red pill he gives you the option of the blue toilet paper or the red toilet paper if you ask for the red toilet paper he'll take out his knife and he'll slash you to death spraying your blood all over the entire stall however if you choose the blue toilet paper he'll either strangle you to your blue or he'll suck out your blood until you're drained and you're blue now the story says that some people try to trick him and try to use another color like white or yellow or purple or green or something but they say that if you do that he sucks you into the toilet into the into the mouth of hell apparently the only way to really escape him is once again not to answer and just try to get out of stall and escape however it's not a guarantee sometimes he'll block the exit and then you'll be killed anyway unfortunately facing the akamanto usually means death [Music] literally means like a mountain hag or mountain lady old lady so you might be able to spot yamauba at various mountain areas in hokkaido or shizuoka or nagano places like that across japan and the yamauba are old ladies that were originally cast away either they were single and they didn't have a husband or they were widowed or because of financial situations in the past the family couldn't take care of them anymore and they were kind of kicked out of the house and they were forced to live alone and so they made their way up to these mountains and they live alone in these huts and over time they've become monsters they're kind of like these sinister witches who prey on travelers or merchants or passing by their mountain area they usually have like disheveled hair disheveled kimono really wrinkled skin and a lot of them even have fangs and horns so what they'll do is when you're passing by they'll be nice to you they'll invite you in for dinner or if it's getting late at night they'll offer you shelter but eventually they'll attack you they'll poison you and they'll attempt to eat you there's no real method to really escape them except just by luck so people who escaped the survivors escaped have spread stories about the yamaouba even to this day a lot of parents when their kids are being disobedient will say go to sleep or you better not be a bad boy or a bad girl otherwise we'll send you to the yamauba out of all the creatures that i heard about this one seems to be the weirdest literally means ass eye and basically it's like a man-shaped creature without a face who has a giant yellow like shining eye that is in his anus so shirime is like i said has no face but has like a man like body and wears a kimono and kind of just waits around town for his victims they make strange noises and try to get someone's attention and once they can get someone's attention and they stop they suddenly rip off their kimono they're naked underneath then they bend over and they stretch out their anus and just show that person their giant yellow eye they don't attack they don't say anything and really there's no real reason why they do that except for the shock value i guess they're like today's versions of perverts who just go up to people on the street and then just flash them no one knows their real reason or origin or anything about them or why they have an eye in their anus of the toilet so similar to acamanto hanako also haunts the toilets specifically the girls toilets in schools this legend actually began in the 1950s after the war and they said that hanako was actually a little girl who died while she was hiding during a world war ii raid other people say that she was killed by either her family or somebody in a toilet which is why she haunts the toilet she's a young girl probably of elementary school age she has like a bobbed haircut and she wears a red dress or red skirt the difference between akamanto and her is where akamanto is waiting for victims hanako only comes when she's summoned to summon hanako you go to the girl's bathroom and you go to the third stall and you knock three times and then you ask are you there hanako-san if she's there she'll reply and you'll see a bloody hand come out and pull you into the toilet pulling you into the toilet will bring you into the mouth of hell there's alternative stories and in some stories when you say are you there she replies and a hand comes out but other times it's her who changed into a three-headed lizard and the lizard swallows you whole so there you go that's just six of the evil creatures or monsters that i found from japanese folklore or urban legends.

Top 10 People Who Claim To be Immortal

Top 10 People Who Claim To be Immortal
the oldest human being to ever live was Jeanne Calment she was born in 1875 and died in 1997 at the age of 122 everyone agrees this is the longest a human being has ever existed for well not everyone some people say there are others much older than that some people say there are humans who have become immortal some people even say that they themselves are immortal do you believe them let's find out my name is Danny Burke and this is the top ten people claimed to be immortal starting off at number 10 now we have Alex you he is a 46 year old man who claims to be immortal how has he achieved that for the use of his immortality rings he invented these small magnetic rings to be worn on people's fingers and toes to ensure that people's cells always heal properly and never die apparently if the cells constantly regenerate then the person never dies he says he has modernized ancient Chinese medicine to make immortality accessible for everyone you can actually buy these rings on Amazon right now although I don't recommend it they come in either black or white or the black one costs more because it's stronger apparently listen I don't know how it all works I'm just a mere mortal next up at number nine we have a Leonard Jones he was an American politician born in 1797 who claimed to be immortal more interestingly though he claimed that anyone else to be immortal you just need the right amount of fasting and praying he found a preacher that believed the same as him and together they found that the live forever faith and tried to recruit people to found a city of immortals while they were recruiting the preacher died apparently Leonard Jones was very much embarrassed when he had to speak at the funeral of his immortal partner he then switched to politics and tried to run for US terrifying kidnappings president many times with his main policy being you know his immortality suddenly he lost a lot of support when he died aged 71 and people say you can't trust politicians all right right now we have the wandering Jewish man in medieval Europe there was a story of a Jewish man who was there at the crucifixion of Jesus as he saw Jesus carrying the cross the man taught at him and told him to hurry up Jesus then turned to him and cursed him to walk the earth until he returned in the second coming his name was AHA Cirrus and countless people said they saw him wandering the earth hundreds of years later sometimes he was old sometimes young or even change between the two others say it's simply a story of symbolism for the Jewish Diaspora that has moved across the earth over the past millennia what do you guys think moving on to number seven now we have the immortal monk in 1927 the leader of a group of Russian Buddhist monks gathered his followers to announce his own death his name was dashi doors oh it eagle off he predicted that Stalin Russia's leader would persecute them and he warned them to flee then he said he would return in 75 years and in a deep meditation he passed away then many years later his body was exhumed the monks were amazed to find his body perfectly preserved his limbs were flexible and a skin was elastic in 2002 his body was put on display in the temple it was 75 years on and he had apparently returned the bullets believe that he remains in a deep meditative state on the edge of life and death makes the Panama six now we have Nicolas Flamel you might recognize this guy's name from Harry Potter as the immortal wizard who created the Philosopher's Stone and was a good friend of Dumbledore's well that fiction is based on the real Nicolas Flamel he was a French scribe born in 1340 and records show that he died in 1418 however hundreds of years later in the 1700s story started to emerge that he was still alive people said he was an alchemist who had discovered the real Philosopher's Stone and achieved immortality there are people who believe framel faked his own death and went into hiding to protect this powerful artifact from getting into the wrong hands and that he's still out there today coming up number five now we have Merlin Merlin was said to be the legendary wizard figure at the court of King Arthur King Arthur himself is a figure that is steeped in both history and legend it's often difficult to untwine the two Merlin was said to be half human half demon his demonic side was where he inherited his incredible powers and abilities but his human side put them to work for good one of these inherited powers was immortality believers and his existence say that you can find sightings of Merlin throughout British history many hundreds of years after his time with King Arthur others say this is just retellings of the same story the only way to find the truth is to keep picking apart the fact from the fiction Athen of a four-spot now we have the three Nephites according to Mormons Jesus visited what is now America after his resurrection he chose twelve apostles and real horror stories when his time came to leave three of them asked to stay behind forever to help humanity and watch over them Jesus was said to have granted this and Mormons believe the three Nephites still walk among us today as proof of this they point to stories of kind strangers helping people throughout history before disappearing without a trace next up at number three now we have Achilles I'm sure you've all heard of the phrase Achilles heel this is the guy it comes from he was said to be a legendary Greek hero of the Trojan War the story goes that when he was a baby he was dipped into the river Styx the river that separates Earth from the underworld this made him invulnerable to everything even death itself effectively making him immortal except for one tiny thing they held him in the river by his ankle meaning that his ankle was totally vulnerable he was killed by a poison arrow to the ankle in a battle thus bringing his immortality to a swift end Achilles heel really was his Achilles heel next up at number two now we have the count of st. Germain he was a European nobleman who was born in 1691 and was known for his works and science the arts and philosophy he was said to have attained immortality after drinking an elixir which he made through his mastery of alchemy he traveled European courts where Nobles were astonished to see he had not aged a single day in the 50 years since they last saw him many people said that he could live forever even himself having confessed on at least one occasion to be 300 years old using the secrets of universal medicine records show he died in 1784 at the age of 93 but there have been countless stories of his appearance since then even as recently as the 1970s all right finally another one now we have Quincy High he was a famous Chinese emperor whose dynasty lasted 400 years some of the most famous works under his rule include the Terracotta Army and parts of the Great Wall of China he was said to be so loved by his people for they thought of him as an immortal this was a prophecy Quinn she was more than happy to fulfill and he became obsessed with seeking immortality on two occasions he sent hundreds of people out into the world to find the legendary elixir of life both times were a failure in the end he died of mercury poisoning after he ate too many mercury pills given to him by his doctors to try and make him mortal oh dear well guys I'm not sure how I feel about some of those stories but you know there's no smoke without fire also if there are immortal people out there maybe staying hidden it's one of the reasons they live so long.

Top 10 Evil Experiments That Took Place In Texas

Top 10 Evil Experiments That Took Place In Texas

 There is so much we have learned through  science and medical experiments that  have changed our world and a lot of the  time it's for the better but sometimes  well let's just say some experiments  should have been left to the imagination  welcome back to the most amazing  everybody today I've got a crazy list  for you so buckle up and let's dive into  the top 10 evil experiments that took  place in Texas starting us off at number  10 dog experiments a few years back  Peter released a scathing expose on the  Texas A M University's Laboratories what  was branded as a breeding program turns  out to have been closer to a cruel  experiment under the guise of science it  turns out that they had been actively  lying about their dog breeding program  and were actually using the dogs for  cruel and painful experiments dogs under  their care were deliberately bred to  develop a crippling form of canine  muscular dystrophy that prevented most  of the dogs from walking eating properly  or having any kind of quality of life  from there they would use the dogs in  experiments involving biopsies and these  devices that stretched their muscle  tissue causing them not only incredible  pain during the procedures But  ultimately forcing many of the dogs to  be euthanized due to the toll it put on  their bodies apparently the university  had been doing these kinds of  experiments for nearly 40 years before  Peta was able to put an end to it and  thankfully all of the dogs have now been  rescued and are being sent to new homes  next up at number nine hepatitis in the  1950s one institution ran a very very  dark experiment that I honestly can't  quite believe was able to happen even  that long ago the institution was for  disabled people specifically

 those  deemed to have mental illnesses or  mental disorders at that time and due to  the highly unsanitary conditions of this  institution many contracted hepatitis  you would think that this would maybe  make them go oh maybe we should tidy up  around here protect those that are under  our care but that was not really their  approach instead Dr Saul Krugman  proposed an experiment to try and  develop a vaccine now while I can  appreciate the thought that was behind  his proposition rather than testing on  the already contracted citizens they  actually began purposefully infecting  people with the disease to assist in the  experiment now don't get it twisted  there were many folks against this from  the start but ultimately parents of the  admitted people gave their permission to  infect them and use them in the study so  fourth they went it's kind of crazy to  believe that someone would actually go  along with that but apparently they  didn't seem to care too much about  infecting disabled people with a deadly  disease so there you have it coming in  at number eight project artichoke in the  1950s the CIA ran a series of Mind  Control projects called project  artichoke and their goal was simple but  definitely

 unethical the primary goal  was to see if a person could  involuntarily be made to attempt an act  of assassination so essentially they  were trying to see if they could mind  control someone into killing another  person at first they went about trying  to gain mind control by studying the  test subjects via hypnosis and total  isolation as a means to break down the  subjects but soon they realized  something was missing in came forceding  addictions along with a slew of other  drugs followed by forced withdrawal they  would also use chemicals to incite  Amnesia on the human subjects and those  that got out were left incredibly foggy  and traumatized with little to no  recollection of what they had been  through the study was shut down by the  1960s likely due to the fact that they  were traumatizing and forcing Addiction  on unsuspecting innocent civilians but  it did open the door for more research  around the possibility of mind control  so you never know maybe someday it might  just be possible next up at number seven  the two-headed dog in 1959 Vladimir had  a truly evil Vision his experiments were  among some of the first organ and tissue  transplant research which ultimately  some have argued is obviously very  valuable information but his methods  were certainly unethical and definitely  controversial he started out  transplanting organs by sewing them onto  the outside of animals but ultimately  gained his notoriety for creating a  two-headed dog to make his Frankenstein  dog he removed the head and front legs  of a small dog from the rest of its body  and then transplanted it onto a larger  host dog the dogs actually lived for  four days after the experiment declaring  it seemingly

 successful and they were  able to see and look around during that  time so all in all while it did help  chart the course of modern transplants  it was certainly viewed as a very  controversial study next up at number  six the Milgram experiment named after  the psychologist Stanley Milgram who  spearheaded the experiment this study  began in the summer of 1961 and it  looked at testing the limits of  obedience many academics at the time  wanted to take a look into what was at  the core of an authoritative personality  and how someone could be swayed to  commit something that ultimately they  didn't want to do simply because they  believed they had to a newspaper  advertisement was sent out but the  details were not provided until test  subjects arrived once the study began  the two groups were separated one group  was assigned to be an actor and the  other group was tasked with shocking the  person in the room after they answered a  question wrong what group two didn't  know was that group one was not actually  being shocked just acting as if they  were and as it turns out an incredibly  High proportion of the subjects  continued to shock the group despite  thinking they were hurting them simply  because they felt they had no other  choice and later another scientist  thought the experiment needed to be  amped up as he hypotheized people could  have felt the victim was faking it the  new study included real life dogs as the  subjects being shocked and test subjects  apparently openly wept while still  following orders to shock the dogs  apparently proving that many humans will  follow orders to a fault creepy urban legend

 coming in at  number five radiation after World War II  there were many questions surrounding  radioactive materials and the effects  these could have on humans moving  forward well apparently they decided the  best people to test out this incredibly  harmful and dangerous study on would of  course be pregnant women medical  researchers fed radioactive Edibles in  the form of energy drinks to  829 pregnant women and not only didn't  they tell them what they were giving  them but they straight up lied and said  that it would actually improve the  health of their babies many of the women  in the study became incredibly ill would  get covered in rashes and bruises and  some ultimately ended up developing  cancer but worst of all is that many of  the fetuses were in fact born with  leukemia or other forms of cancer and  the mothers didn't even know that they  had been involved in an experiment in  the first place that was until it was  much too late coming in at number four  the syphilis study back in 1932 the  United States Public Health Service  began to dive into the natural  progression of syphilis if left  untreated and listen like I understand  that these kinds of experiments provide  us with knowledge of how to help protect  people in the future but what I'm saying  is that there are better ways to go  about it in this study 600 poor and  illiterate men of which only 399  previously had syphilis were hired and  none of them were told about what the  experiment was going to be for or that  they had a life-threatening disease in  the first place the 600 men were instead  told that they were actually receiving  free health care meals and burial  insurance in exchange for their  participation what's even more sick is  that even though penicillin was proven  to be an effect of cure in 1947 this  study continued all the way until 1972.  essentially needlessly infecting  hundreds of people and watching them die  of a disease that already had a cure I  mean it's just insane that this went on  for so long and it's definitely

 one of  the most evil experiments to have seen  the light of day coming in at number  three Eugenics prior to World War II  there was actually many places around  the United States that were bro Eugenics  of course this all changed after the  infamous evil experiments performed in  the war but rewind to 1907 and it was  actually widely accepted Across the  Nation firstly sterilization was enacted  as a hypothesis to help reduce crime  rates and stop mental disabilities and  then not long after they began to bring  race in as a factor in the hopes to  improve genetic stock through the  sterilization of unpreferred races  because it is women who give birth they  were often the victims of these  experiments as eugenicists believed it  was the best way to protect and regulate  birth rates and weed out who they didn't  want to be able to reproduce although it  was first overturned in 1921 by 1927 the  Supreme Court actually ruled in favor of  forced sterilization believing it would  create a better Society for us all to  live in I mean it's truly horrid that  this was not only legal but encouraged  by so many coming in at number two a  cure for Insanity 1907 seems to have  been a busy year for evil scientists but  rather than Eugenics this doctor  believed he could actually cure Insanity  Dr Henry cotton was convinced that  internal organs upon developing a Hooked Urban Legend infection were the root cause of mental  disorders so cotton got involved with  the Asylum and got to researching on  what he refers to as patience but really  were victims of his cruel experiments he  believed that by removing the infected  organ he could not only cure his  patients of their disorders but then  step body that organ for further  research and that's all well and fine if  you're dealing with maybe a root canal  but when it comes to vital organs it's  not the same story dubbed surgical  bacteriology the procedures were often  done without the patient's consent and  he would remove teeth tonsils and even  colons and other organs of the leg to  further prove his point he even removed  his own teeth along with his wife and  sons too which I mean if he was trying  to prove a point does that mean he  thought he was insane because why else  would he remove his teeth but in the end  49 of his patients died which he chalked  up to end stage psychosis Texas Urban Legend

 and to this  day the project is viewed as incredibly  cruel last up in our number one spot the  aversion project led by Dr Aubry Levin  this program identified homosexual  soldiers from the Army and subjected  them to horrific medical tortures as a  means to try and change their sexual  orientation now at the time it was  believed that being gay was a a disease  that could be and should be cured and so  the experiment to convert soldiers began  the experiment lasted between 1971 to  1989 and the soldiers were submitted to  extensive electric shock treatment while  being forced to view explicit images of  the same sex trying to cause their brain  to make negative associations with  homosexuality when the subjects didn't  change or at least didn't admit to  changing their sexual orientation they  would force the victims into sex  changing operations making them  effectively straight women in their eyes  reportedly 900 gay men between 16 to 24  were surgically changed into women  against their will and once the  experiment was shut down Levin fled to  Canada and denied ever being a part of  the cruel and evil experiment well there  you have it guys thanks so much for  watching I'm Kennedy and I'll see you  next time  [Music]  thank you

Top 10 Elite Families Who Secretly Rule The World

Top 10 Elite Families Who Secretly Rule The World

 money media politics pick two of the  three and you can control the world  three out of three and you rule the  world welcome back to m.a everyone i'm  your host rachel fisher and today we are  discussing some of the richest and most  influential people of all time from old  to new money today we count down our  list of top 10 most powerful families  who secretly rule the world let's get  started number 10 the mars family i want  candy you want candy we all want candy  the mars family owns mars inc which is  and you guessed it the mars bar company  they are one of the world's largest  candy and pet food companies right like  what how do those go together you know  kind of weird the family themselves come  from humble beginnings frank mars  started mars inc way back in 1911 when  he started selling candy from his  kitchen in tacoma washington the malt  flavored nougat we all know and love  wasn't actually made until 1929 when  they came up with the milky way how  exactly they made the transition from  candy to pet food is like beyond me but  that aspect of the biz expanded in 2017.  they acquired the animal hospital  company vca making a 9 billion  investment overall the company is worth  get ready  40 billion dollars in sales what so  they're rich and they own candy well  okay they're really rich and they own  candy for one they can influence anyone  and consider the fact that sugar is  considered an addictive substance and  then also willy wonka right fiction or  non-fiction candy is a big deal imagine  a world without it number nine the  morgans the morgans sound like the  family that lives next door who outdo  everyone when it comes to like holiday  decorations but i'm talking about the jp  morgans who could probably do that and  control the world at the same time the  morgan family is one of the most  influential american families their  dynasty is tied to banking and you have  probably heard the name jp morgan over  like a hundred times in passing at the  turn of the century morgan was the most  influential businessman in america he  was so admired and respected that on the  day of his funeral the stock exchange  remained closed until 12 pm to give you  an idea about how much financial success  he attained he bailed out the us  treasury  twice his ability to do this no doubt  caused great uneasiness among other  people and resulted in the development  of the reserve system in late 1913.  today the morgans still maintain their  political and financial influence not  just in the u.s but also in europe as  their company is there as well so world  connections number eight pritzer  arriving from ukraine late in the 19th  century the pritzer family made everyone  believe that the american dream could be  reality 50 years into their journey as  entrepreneurs they finally started to  invest in real estate that one decision  led to over 900 hotels the family owns  today plus an airline and a cruise line  just for like extra pizzazz ever heard  of the hyatts that's them like many on  this list they are not without shares in  different financial institutions  amplifying their influence after all if  you've got your hands on someone else's  money well you can pretty much do what  you want jb pritzer was the governor of  illinois in 2019 so there's the  political influence and his sister penny  worked as the secretary of commerce in  the obama administration so not only are  they the ninth on the forbes list of  richest families their political  influence is even more obvious their net  worth is over 32.5 billion dollars which  they use to back the presidential  campaigns of obama and hillary clinton  an astounding astounding amount of  wealth which of course has been met with  competition and strife liesel pritzer  simmons once a child actress known for  little princess didn't know this now a  prominent impact investor actually sued  her own father along with her entire  family in 2002. her father and cousins  looted her and her brother's trust funds  so she filed a 6 billion lawsuit  settling with 500 million plus 280  million in cash plus more control over  her trust valued at 170 million so not  quite the six billion she wanted but  still  no complaints i hope no complaints  number seven the house of windsor  whether you consider that in the  figureheads of the monarchy the house of  windsor remains one of the most powerful  families in the world they are the  reigning family monarchy in great  britain and although they may not be the  richest on this list their wealth does  not simply lie in money the windsors  reigned over the entire british empire  which of course included the fruits of  the colonial pursuits of jolly old  england from years past their colonies  protectorates and dominion spread across  the world they were also recognized as  the official monarchy of several  independent countries therefore their  wealth is in many pies as it were along  with the fanfare that follows people are  obsessed with them like the whole meghan  markle thing it's nuts queen elizabeth  ii is the head of the family the church  and the commander-in-chief of great  britain's military troops along with  performing her duties as supreme ruler  of 15 autonomous countries fun fact um  this is a fun fact my grandparents met  her twice at the queen's garden party  and they said hi and she's very queenly  and that was all i really found out  about that but that was cool number six  rockefeller john davidson rockefeller  may have picked up a few tricks from his  dad when he started his american empire  son of a con man rockefeller bought out  several owners of cleveland's largest  oil refinery in 1865. then he just he  just kept going buying out competitors  left right and center which led him to  take over 90 of america's refineries and  pipelines but beneath all that success  were dubious dealings with corporate  spies secret railroad deals bribery  leading the u.s attorney to sue standard  oil after this came to light however the  trial only resulted in the company  breaking off into 34 sub companies and  allowed rockefeller to maintain  ownership by the time john d died his  assets equaled out to 1.5 percent of  america's total economic output that's  more than anybody has ever made today  today the 200 descendants of the  rockefeller family have a net worth of  over 11 billion which is significantly  less than what they had before though  their considerable wealth is not what it  once was their name still carries  immense weight to this day jon's  grandson david rockefeller is the man  who stirred up rumors of conspiracy in  the 1950s due to his highly secretive  meetings his enigmatic behavior added to  fuel to the fire towards the suspicion  that the rockefeller family seeks to  gain or maintain control of the world  number five the house of sod i feel like  if you even have your baby toe dipped in  oil somewhere in the world in a  metaphorical sense of horse you can  control the world it's just it's it's  the most important thing we use it all  the time the house of zod is the royal  family of saudi arabia they like many  powerful families on this list have old  money especially since they are  descendants of the founder of the first  saudi state the king of saudi arabia  reigns with absolute power meaning he  could make anything he want happen at  the snap of his fingers they could start  a war if they wanted to and that they  have they consider the country to be an  asset especially since they reign on  precious crude oil reserves about 20 of  the world's global resources the entire  house of sod has 15 000 members so to be  clear we are specifically talking about  the 2000 members of the inner circle the  actual family under the king of saudi  arabia can get any job they want so long  as it's in the country number four the  bush family yup we mean that one of  course you would expect the families on  this list to have political connections  otherwise how else would you rule the  world their family has made it into the  political offices for over 70 years with  good old g.w bush being the 43rd  president but of course we must discuss  a pretty cd scandal documents finally  declassified in 2003 revealed that  prescott sheldon bush had dealings with  the german army during world war ii the  guardian reported in 2004 that prescott  worked for and profited from companies  closely involved with the german  businesses that finance the man who  rhymes with mittler's rise to power  meaning he could have been prosecuted  for providing air and comfort to the  enemy that killed millions of innocents  additionally this is crazy additionally  he continued his support after it was  revealed what the yahtzees were doing  and you know what i mean by nazis i just  can't say it because youtube censorship  oh i hate it but anyways the documents  even imply that the u.s knew where the  camps were and could have disabled them  long before they were finally discovered  number three rothschild the conspiracies  surrounding this family appeared to me  never ending some of them may be right  after all the possibilities are endless  when you carry that much influence in  your wallet the rothschilds are one of  the most wealthy families in the world  and their legacy goes all the way back  to the 17th century that is the oldest  money i think we have on this list mayor  amsho rothschild established a banking  business back then and became the  personal banker for the german royal  families his five sons then took the  business and expanded it into london  paris frankfurt vienna and naples  british and french war evers have relied  on their funding including the  napoleonic MOST VENOMOUS SNAKES wars in 1803 to 1815. this  family literally had a hand in the  success of war if that's not power then  i don't know what is though their  business remains in control of banking  they also have hands in real estate oil  and construction so basically everything  around us number two the murdocks no  i'm not talking about the canadian  classic everybody watches on a sunday  that's been running forever murdoch  mysteries how are you but same name to  say the media plays a huge role in every  part of our lives is an understatement  even to say that it's at the rate we  consume media on our phones on the  subway on the street tv computer on  headphones you'd have to head to the  alaskan triangle just to get away from  it which is why the murdochs are so damn  powerful the murdochs controls several  broadcasting networks they're reach  stretching across three continents so  needless to say their influence has very  little borders their imperialism began  in australia by a political reporter for  the melbourne papers keith murdoch keith  climbed his way up to editor and after  he figured out how to double the sales  he became ceo his son robert followed in  his footsteps as a reporter and together  they formed the news corporation which  held the power of australia's media in  the palm of their hands but the  corporation now owns 20th century fox  fox news myspace and dow jones plus i  think a few more however there is no  fame without scandal and 2011 the news  corps was prosecuted for illegal phone  tapping of celebrities the royal family  and even bribe police and special units  people thought that maybe i don't know  like maybe this should topple the entire  empire but it didn't it remains standing  and who knows what's happening behind  the scenes and last but not least number  one the waltons and hitting in at number  one on the forbes list of america's  richest families we have the waltons  their net worth being  247 billion dollars fun fact if you were  to start counting to a billion today it  would take you 30 years to complete so  imagine counting to 247 billion dollars  somebody do the math for me down below  in the comments guess what they own  walmart which is the world's largest  retailer by sales however they also own  arvis bank MEXICAN URBAN LEGENDS banks right which operates 16  banks in arkansas oklahoma missouri and  kansas an unfathomable amount of wealth  of this family hoards and it looks like  they want to keep it that way the  waltons have played a lead role in  eliminating the federal estate tax which  would essentially help billionaires  evade estate tax entirely right their  influence also carries over easily into  politics considering the average  election campaign costs 10 million the  waltons could easily make that in under  a day on their business earnings alone  according to bloomberg they can make  around 100 million dollars a day who do  you think gets to dictate the terms when  your candidate needs money on top of  that though they also donate a lot of  money towards education and  environmental initiatives and of course  have their grand share of vintage cars  art and properties apparently it still  sucks to work at walmart though so and  that was our list from today i'm sure  you all have a lot to discuss so be sure  to leave your comments respectfully  below if you like this video show us  some love and be sure to subscribe to  stay up to date we welcome correction as  well if there's anything in here that  you're like i think this needs to be  expanded on do it go for it in the  comments i'm your host rachel fisher 

Top 10 Cursed Objects That Are Pure Evil

Top 10 Cursed Objects That Are Pure Evil

 coming in at number 10 we have the die  Buck box a normal object turns  Supernatural turned cursed what a  journey the dieback box is said to be a  haunted wine cabinet filled with a  Restless Spirit interestingly the wine  cabinet had a Jewish prayer carved into  the back of it which is maybe What  attracted the ghoul the spirit in  question is allegedly a holocaust  Survivor haveka who escapes to Spain the  box was famously sold on eBay in 2003  and has spent the past 16 years bouncing  between owners who don't want it and I  can understand why it seems each owner  has fallen on a horrifying Misfortune  and suffered reoccurring nightmares one  owner suffered a stroke shortly after  receiving the box as a gift apparently  the box has now been hidden by Jewish  rabbis thank goodness the Box actually  has a connected film with it the  possession which came out in 2012. I  think it was based on the wine box  events coming at number nine we have the  occult Museum voodoo dolls voodles in  general are Supernatural items they're  little Effigies created in magical kind  of practices and for the person on the  receiving end they're bad juju pins are  placed in the door in order to harm the  subject which isn't great not great at  all so with that in mind a supernatural  object used to invoke a curse do you  want to see the voodoo dolls from the Ed  and Lorraine Warren Museum guys you  don't know how hard it is to say Ed and  Lorraine Warren in one go it's a tongue  twister Ed and Lorraine Warren by the  way voodoo dolls so there is actually a  noose on the neck of one of the Dolls  which kind of indicates that somebody  might have died the other one has its  eyes gouged out which isn't great either  visually scary but also actually scary  it seems that the doll collector came  across these doors and bought them home  only to find that her son's Health began  deteriorating it seems that some of the  witches voodoo doll magic had been  retained and it was picked up the boy as  a new vessel The Collector contacted the  warrants who remove the doll after which  the boy made a full recovery thank  goodness however it seems that the story  continues there was a visitor to the  museum and they broke the rules by  touching one of the dolls and later they  were involved in a horrifying accident  who's to blame here coming in at number  eight we have the bassano vars at first  the basano vars is a sight to behold  it's a beautifully carved silver vase  from the 15th century it's antique but  as it's on this list you may have  realized that actually it's a  supernatural antique with a curse The  Story Goes that the vars was made for an  Italian wedding as a gift to the bride  who is to be wed in a traditional  ceremony in Napoli on her wedding night  she was excited but unfortunately an  intruder broke in and stabbed her she  was found bleeding to death clutching  the bars the legend has it that she  promised to return and seek Vengeance on  the person who stopped her marrying her  love after her death the vars was passed  down through the family but anyone who  came in contact with it mysteriously  fell ill or they were met with serious  Misfortune following that of ours was  wrapped up and packed away but  unfortunately it was Unearthed again  hundreds of years later in the late 80s  when it also started making headlines  for continuing its Spate of deadly bad  luck newspaper reports indicate that the  vars was buried again in an undisclosed  location hoping that it would stay out  of the way with human contact forever  this time coming in at number seven we  have the evil eye ah the curse of the  evil eye although actually this is an  interesting twist at this point because  these objects MOST CURSED OBJECTS actually protect against  curses the evil eye is a curse cast by a  malevolent and malicious glare given to  a person when they aren't looking if an  evil eye is cast upon you you are  susceptible to injury or Misfortune it  could even mean that you're set upon by  animals to protect yourself from the  evil eye usually people carry a Talisman  with an eye on it which in themselves  look pretty terrifying but actually  they're there to stare down a curse the  evil eye has been incorporated into a  lot of protective objects most popularly  jewelry also there are a lot of evil eye  wall hangings and wind chimes I feel  like I'd quite like an evil eye bracelet  so it can stare down a few evil eyes  I've been looking my way recently like  reflected Curse coming in at number six  we have cursed tarot cards tarot cards  aren't used in divination for  forecasting rather than predicting  usually a person formulates a question  and seeks an answer from the cards a  deck of 78 individual cards with  different meanings the most famous cards  are death the Tower and the devil all  thought to be bad Omens but of course  that depends on your interpretation some  people are convinced that their tarot  decks can become cursed and that  everything that's forecast will actually  happen badly there is also a  Superstition that burning tarot cards  will bring a curse upon you it seems  that the only way to be rid of a cursed  deck of tarots is to drown them soak  them all face down in water honestly I'm  not so sure about that I think they work MOST BIZARRE CURSES  by energy so if you have bad energy  maybe you'll get bad cards coming in at  number five we have Maori masks Maori is  the name of the indigenous people of New  Zealand and Polynesia masks are made to  honor their ancestors and they're often  beautifully carved and slightly  intimidating to look at the masks are  thought to contain the souls of Warriors  who died in battle so pretty  Supernatural and ghostly if you ask me  while men are fine to be going around  touching a Maori mask females have a  much more uncertain time Legend has it  you should never seek out a Maori mask  if you're pregnant or menstruating  because you could invoke an ancient  curse in October 2010 a museum in New  Zealand made headlines when it told a  pregnant woman to stay away from the  sacred artifacts speaking of sacred at  number four we have Uluru is a rock  formation an object either way I'm  putting it on this list  Uluru or airs rock is both sacred and  cursed if the stories are to be believed  the large Sandstone monolith in the  Northern Territory of central Australia  is sacred to Aboriginal try times the  first people of the land they believe  that it is inhabited by The ancestral  spirits of the land the Rocks started  forming 550 million years ago and it's  believed that if a visitor takes a rock  from the spot they will suffer serious  Misfortune sometimes even grave  Misfortune there have been reports that  people were returning stones that  they've taken from airs Rock to try and  end their suffering shouldn't be taking  the rocks in the first place coming in  at number three we have the Terracotta  Army I kind of believe that the  Terracotta Army have an heir of the  supernatural about them they were after  all a work of funeral art that were  buried with the purpose of protecting an  emperor in the afterlife the thousands  of terracotta Figures were buried with  the first emperor of China in 210 BCE  but they were rediscovered by local  farmers thousands of years later in 1974  in Yang Villages rural land for them  though the discovery was actually a  curse the government didn't pay them  well for their findings and then they  took their land and their home terms of  them in order to build a tourist center  the government made a lot of money they  didn't one of the farmers who discovered  the soldiers actually killed himself and  the others were met with bad luck many  of whom have died penniless coming into  number two whatever you do do not touch  the demon book the book of soyga is an  early 16th century treaties on  demonology written in Latin there are  only two copies of the book in the world  known to us and one was possessed by the  Elizabethan scholar John D D spent his  life trying to interpret the text which  was filled with spells and rituals he  had a good understanding of what was  happening apart from the final 36 Pages  which he just couldn't decipher he and  his trusted friend Edward Kelly summoned  the spirit of oriel to tell them the  meaning of the last pages the legend  says the Oriole then possessed Kelly and  spoke through him he claimed that the  book came into existence when Adam  entered paradise and that it could only  be properly interpreted by the arch and  Angel Michael himself he also said that  whoever deciphers the meaning of the  last 36 pages will be destined to die  two and a half years later why two and a  half we don't know but I wouldn't want  to be reading that book finally climbing  into number one we have the deli purple  sapphire also known as The Gem of Sorrow  the Delhi purple sapphire was housed in  a sacred temple in India the Temple of  Indra in kanpur Indra by the way is the  Hindu god of war and thunderstorms amid  the british-led turmoil in India it  wasn't uncommon for soldiers to loot  sacred temples stealing their jewels and  smuggling them back to Britain this is  exactly what happened with the purple  sapphire in question Colonel W Ferris  took it back to England only to be met  with terrible terrible luck Financial  misfortunes befell him his family got  very sick things started to fall apart  he gave the stone away and the person  who received it committed the next owner  of the sapphire was Edward Herron Allen  who was also met with really bad luck he  bound the stone with silver and attached  two scarab beetles and it seemed like  the bad luck was contained however his  dreams were frequently haunted by Hindu  yogis until he gave the stone away the  stone then was returned to him so he  threw it in Regent's canal in London no  prizes for guessing that actually it  came back the story continues over  another hundred or so years more  recently it found its way to a museum  and one night the museum curator was  traveling with the stone only to be  injured by a terrible storm with his  wife  on this list in our number 10 spot we  have Anna Baker's wedding dress in 1836  a man named Elias Baker purchased a  mansion in Altoona Pennsylvania and  moved his small family in Elias's oldest  daughter was named Anna and when she  fell in love with a steel worker things  took a very dark turn Anna's father  didn't want her dating this man but she  kept doing it in secret The Story Goes  that Anna and the man planned a secret  wedding and they were going to elope  unfortunately Elias found out and  freaked out he apparently purchased the  steel mill that this man worked for and  then forced him to have to move to an  entirely different city so as to prevent  him from being able to continue seeing  Anna Anna of course was furious with her  father and I'm sure this was only made  worse by his decision to offer other men  to her to which she of course declined  because that's just weird Anna instead  locked herself in her room with her  wedding dress that she never got to wear  Anna unfortunately never married after  that and spent the rest of her life  being terribly upset about out the whole  incident after her death it is said that  her anger and despair ended up going  into the wedding dress members of the  baker family reported seeing the dress  in different places around the house  despite no one moving it themselves some  have even reported seeing Anna's Spirit  dressed in the Gown around the house as  well in our number nine spot today we  have the hands resist him the hands  resist him as a painting created by  artist Bill Stoneham and it is supposed  to represent the doorway that connects  our world with the world of the spirits  the doorway to the other side this is  extra suspicious considering owners of  the painting have claimed that they have  seen the characters in the painting move  or sometimes even disappear at night the  painting is said to depict bill as a  child looking quite sad with a doll with  creepy hollow eyes in the background you  can see mysterious hands reaching out  towards the boy the creepiness of the  painting is only elevated when we hear  the stories of the reported three people  who passed away after coming into  contact with the painting it ended up  kind of appearing for around 15 years  until it popped back up on eBay even  then the seller warned potential buyers  that the painting was haunted and  claimed that the boy in the painting  would come out of it and scare their  child the painting ended up being sold  for 1025 dollars to a buyer in Michigan  and at this point it's unclear if  they've had any troubles with the  rumored hauntings and curses in our  number 8 spot today we have the cursed phone number I didn't know a phone  number could be cursed but apparently  it's true and I know a phone number  technically isn't an object but I still  feel like this had to be included today  because it's just too crazy to not there  was a Bulgarian phone number that is  said to have been in use for 10 years  before it was closed the reason why it  ended up being closed and put out of use  is because it is rumored to have  belonged to three separate people who  all died of mysterious circumstances  after having been assigned to the phone  number apparently all of the deaths took  place shortly after the person had been  assigned to the number and they were all  seemingly a bit suspicious thus the  rumors of the cursed telephone number  began to spread after this the company  made the decision to suspend the phone  number and they didn't give out details  as to why I wonder if the two are  related in our number seven support  today we have the Belcourt Castle chairs  Belcourt Castle is located in Newport  Rhode Island and it is a former summer  Cottage construction on the cottage  started in 1891 with it being completed  in 1894 and inside there is a ballroom  the ballroom is important because it is  said that it holds a group of haunted  chairs people who have visited the  castle have reported a ton of strange  happenings regarding this specific set  of chairs the reports include things  like feeling chills racing up and down  their spines or feeling a strange  sensation in a shift of energy while  standing near the chairs and some people  have even explained how they have been  pushed out of the chairs by an invisible  force I feel like just hearing stories  might be enough to explain the energy  shift some people are feeling but  actually being pushed out of a chair by  some sort of invisible force would be  absolutely terrifying in our number six  spot today we have the anguished man  while it is unknown who or when it was  created this painting is said to carry  some kind of a curse it is rumored that  whoever created it mixed his blood with  the oil paint and when he finished  creating it he ended up taking his own  life when a woman who is referred to as  Mrs Robinson originally took possession  of the painting after it was given to  her by a family friend she immediately  knew that something was wrong with it  she ended up passing it along to her  grandson Sean Who currently still owns  the painting when Sean hung the painting  up they apparently started experiencing  paranormal events the Robinson family  has reported many different strange  events that have happened in relation to  the painting such as hearing screams and  groans coming from it as well as hearing  Doris creaking when no one is around  them and being awoken in the middle of  the night by blood curdling screams that  they can't find the source of Sean has  even uploaded videos to YouTube where he  shows these paranormal events and it has  been reported that the family now keeps  the painting hidden away in the basement  which is probably for the best in our  number five spot today we have the dark  mirror this mirror now resides within  the traveling Museum of the Paranormal  and occult and just that alone is enough  to know it deserves a spot on today's  list the museum received this mirror  from the owner who had purchased it from  a psychic fair It is believed that this  mirror was created sometime around the  1820s or 30s and it is actually quite  beautiful to look at despite the  Sinister things it seems to hold the  owner who gave it to the museum  explained that every time they peered  into the mirror they saw these extremely  upsetting things while looking into the  dark mirror's reflection the museum has  said that since they added the mirror to  their collection there have been guests  who have also reported the same kind of  things guests have claimed to see things  reflected back at them like sightings of  their own corpse in our number four spot  today we have old Nick old Nick is often  referred to as the Swansea devil and his  story dates back to the 1890s although  he now resides in the Swansea Museum so  back in the 1890s there was the  prestigious Saint Mary's church located  right in the center of town the church  decided to do some Renovations and they  put out some ads to hire someone when a  local Builder applied for the job and  was turned down he had a major  overreaction and decided he want to get  some kind of Revenge he went and bought  the row of cottages that lay next to the  church and then demolished them all in  their place he built large brick offices  and then commissioned the carving of old  Nick and placed him right on top of the  office building looking down at Saint  Mary's Church Legend goes that he even  placed the curse himself by saying quote  when your church is destroyed and burnt  to the ground my devil will remain  laughing end quote some years later  during World War II a German Blitz came  through the town and it left most of it  including Saint Mary's completely  destroyed and burnt to the ground but  the office building with old Nick was  undamaged and remained standing for a  while old Nick seemed to kind of  disappear but once he resurfaced the  there was a petition to put him back to  where he was before as well as a  subsequent counter petition to put him  far far away from the rebuilt Saint  Mary's Church as of now old Nick resides  behind glass in the Swansea Museum and  it is said that he is enclosed in glass  more for our protection rather than his  in our number three spot today we have  the cursed portrait Bernardo de Galvez  was born in Spain in 1746 and he went on  to become a military leader he became  well known for helping American colonies  during the war of independence before he  apparently passed away under mysterious  circumstances in 1786. there is a  portrait of Bernardo that resides in the  Galvez hotel in Galveston Texas which is  said to be one of the most haunted  hotels in the world and that makes sense  because this portrait is said to be one  of the cursed objects that gives the  hotel its spooky title the portrait is  located at the end of a hallway in the  hotel and guests have reported the eyes  following their every move people also  report a cold or uncomfortable feeling  when they get close to the painting and  this is said to be bernardo's Spirit  some people even swear they can feel him  following them around the hotel it is  also said that any picture you try to  take of the portrait will come out  blurry and distorted unless you ask  Bernardo for permission first in our  number two spot today we have the  Kohinoor Diamond this diamond has an  extremely controversial history and is  the source of a lot of debate but  regardless of the ongoing conversations  over who really owns it we are here to  talk about the curse that this stone is  set to hold this diamond dates back  thousands of years and its curse is said  to only affect men it is said that the  jewel can bring about great wealth but  it can also bring great Misfortune as  well to those who own it folklore states  that he who owns this diamond will own  the world but will also know all of its  misfortunes only God or women can wear  it with impunity throughout the history  of the diamond it was passed among many  people and rulers who all fought bloody  battles while in possession of it every  prince who had it is said to have  ultimately lost either their power or  their life while in possession of it as  well part of the controversy of the  diamond is how it ended up in the hands  of the British royal family during  colonization in the 1800s ever since  then it has only been worn by female  monarchs including Queen Victoria and  Queen Elizabeth in our number one spot  today we have James Dean's car okay this  one might seem like a bit of a wild card  but hear me out famous actor James Dean  passed away from a car accident on  September 30th 1955. at the time he was  driving his silver Porsche 550 spider  which he had just recently purchased  this was only the beginning of the car's  curse however as after James passing the  remnants of the totaled car were bought  by a man named George Barris he decided  to sell parts of the car to James fans  but when the car was being worked on and  taken apart it ended up falling on a  mechanic and it crushed him to death  these two incidents are more than enough  to now consider the car cursed but it  still continues on once the people who  had purchased some of the car parts  began receiving them more strange things  happened three of the people who  received Parts ended up in car accidents  all of which were sadly quite severe the  shell of the car was also stolen and to  this day it has never been recovered in  our number 10 spot today we have the  divk box the box which was originally  just a plain old wine box is said to  have been possessed by a dybic which in  Jewish mythology is a malicious demon  that takes over the bodies of living  people and uses them for evil the Box  began to gain attention in 2001 when it  was being auctioned off on eBay the  seller explained that he had bought it  at an estate sale of a woman who had  survived the Holocaust when he first  opened the box he found two 1920s  pennies a lock of blonde hair bound with  a cord a lock of black hair bound with a  cord a small statue engraved with the  Hebrew word Shalom a small golden wine  goblet one dried Rosebud and a single  candle holder with four octopus shaped  legs since he bought the box he reported  that strange things began happening such  as really horrific nightmares for him  and anyone who would stay date around or  touched the box and when he gave the box  to his mother as a birthday gift she  suffered a stroke the same day the Box  ended up in the hands of Zach Bagan who  was a Paranormal Investigator and it now  resides in his haunted Museum the box  also gained even more attention in 2018  when post Malone touched it and has  apparently been dealing with the  repercussions of that ever since in our  number nine spot today we have the  Iceman okay this one is not an object  because it is rather a mummy who was  once a real living person but I still  had to include him on this list today  because this story is wild The Mummy of  oatsi who is also referred to as the  Iceman was found in 1991 in the outsole  Alps in Italy It is believed that oatsi  lived around 3000 BCE and his body  became mummified and preserved because  of the glacier that surrounded him  post-mortem while this is an incredibly  interesting Discovery the finding of  oatsi may have come in a package with an  old curse just waiting to be released  here's the thing the people who helped  with the discovery of otsi are all dying  under mystery serious circumstances I  mean we're currently at person number  seven within one year so that's very  suspicious when molecular archaeologist  Tom Loy was writing a book about otsi he  passed away from a blood related  condition that he was diagnosed with  shortly after becoming involved with the  Iceman the German tourist helmet Simon  who discovered the mummy fell to his  death while hiking in the same spot he  saw otsi Dieter Warnick who was the head  of the Mountain Rescue Team that was  assigned to find the mummy died of a  heart attack at age 45 just an hour  after Simon's funeral to avoid this  becoming an hour-long list I'll stop  here but that is just half of those who  seemingly fell victim to the curse of  the Iceman I don't know maybe disturbing  a man who's been in the same spot for 53  centuries wasn't the best idea anyone  has ever had in our number eight spot  today we have the Hope Diamond this  gorgeous unusually large diamond is a  blue color and worth an insane 250  million dollars in the off chance you  have that kind of money laying around I  still wouldn't recommend purchasing it  because it is said to be cursed the  curse dates back to the 17th century and  it is said that whoever wears the  diamond will have great Misfortune and  misery Legend goes that the diamond was  stolen from the eye of a sculpted statue  of the Hindu goddess Sita and since then  it has been cursing whoever owns or  possesses the 115 carat diamond stories  of the horrible fates of those who have  since owned the diamond include people  taking their own lives people being  killed intentionally by others and some  accounts even claim that the owner was  quote Torn to Pieces which sounds like  one of the worst Fates out there there  have since been replicas made of the  stone and I think just to be as safe as  possible I'll probably stay away from  those just in case in our number seven  spot today we have Robert the doll  Annabelle gets a lot of attention for  being a haunted doll but Robert is just  as terrifying Robert the doll was a  childhood birthday gift from a  grandfather to his grandson who was also  named Robert but more often went by Gene  the story claims that while growing up  with Robert Jean would often be heard by  his parents in his bedrooms having  conversations with himself in two  entirely different voices his parents  would sometimes be woken up in the  middle of the night to the sound of Gene  screaming only to find him completely  frightened in bed with overturned  furniture around him Gene would then  blame Robert for all of the strange  happenings and at the time no one really  believed him Gene kept Robert into  adulthood and it became what people  would describe as an unhealthy  relationship apparently Gene took Robert  everywhere with him and spoke as if he  was a living entity rather than a doll  okay this story is already not great but  it gets worse Jean lived in a house as  an adult that was called the artist's  house Robert would be left in the  upstairs window where children in the  area reported seeing the doll disappear  and reappear and they all chose to just  stay clear of the house after Gene  passed away in 1974 a woman named Myrtle  purchased the house and apparently  Robert as well visitors of the house  could swear that they could hear  footsteps and giggling coming from the  attic where Robert was and some even  claimed to see the doll's expression  changed if someone spoke poorly of Gene  Myrtle reported Robert moving around the  house on his own and after 20 years she  decided she had had enough and donated  him to a museum Robert still lives in  the museum where he is safely locked up  but it is said that he still likes to  place a little curse on those who take  his photo without permission the walls  of the museum near Robert's Glass case  are riddled with notes from previous  visitors and naysayers who are begging  Robert for his forgiveness and asking  him to remove any curse he has placed on  them in our number six spot today we  have the Atlantis ring the Atlantis ring  was originally made of clay and it was  found in 1860 in the Valley of the Kings  in a tomb of an Egyptian high priest it  was then passed on to Howard Carter who  kept it until he passed away in 1939.  the ring was believed to be at least  five thousand years old and it had  geometric symbols carved into it that  were unlike anything known in Egypt  here's where the story gets a little  weird though Howard is one of the people  who discovered King Tut's tomb and he  would later tell people he was wearing a  Talisman when the tomb was was opened  also known as the Atlantis ring he  claimed that the ring gave him  protection and that just might be true  because he is the only member of the  team who didn't die a mysterious death  after the opening of the Tomb even those  who visited shortly after the opening of  the tomb were subject to this curse with  a total of 18 victims in the end Howard  said that the ring is what protected him  against whatever evil forces were at  play so I guess maybe the Atlantis ring  is more like an anti-cursed object I  don't know but what I do know is that it  is all quite curious there are now  replicas that are sold but I'm not sure  if any hold the power of the real deal  in our number 5 spot today we have  Thomas Busby's chair Thomas was a man  who lived in thirsk North Yorkshire and  wasn't known as a very nice man but he  really loved his chair I guess we all  gotta have something in 1702 he found  his father-in-law sitting in it and it  sparked an argument between the two the  father-in-law threatened to take his  daughter back which like should have  never been a threat considering she's a  own woman but I guess that's what went  on in 1702 anyway that's when Busby  kicked him out of the house after this  Busby ended up going over to the  father-in-law's house and actually  killed him with a hammer and then hid  his body in the woods of course the body  ended up being found and this led to  Busby getting convicted and sentenced to  death it is said that on his ride to the  execution he asked to stop by his  favorite Pub for a beer and this request  was fulfilled apparently as he finished  his drink he said May sudden death come  to anyone who dares sit in my chair I  really don't know what it is with this  guy in his chair but while it currently  resides in The Thirst Museum it has been  recorded that many terrible Fates have  been met by the people who have sat in  the chair in 1972 it was decided to hang  the chair from the ceiling so that no  one could ever sit in it again which is  probably for the best so now knowing  this story I want you to let me know in  the comments if you had the chance would  you sit in the chair I wouldn't  in our number four spot today we have  Annabelle the doll when I saw the 2014  Annabelle movie I had no idea it was  actually based on a real life doll but  since starting my job here at most  amazing top 10 I know all about the real  story this doll now resides inside of  the Warrens occult Museum where it  absolutely belongs but this story starts  off with a college student named Donna  who received the doll as a gift from her  mother who had purchased it from an  antique store Donna and her roommate  started to notice some pretty creepy  things happening and swore that the doll  was moving they said it would appear in  different places and positions  throughout their apartment before things  began to escalate Donna began to find  notes that said help in her apartment  and one night found the doll in a  different position and covered in some  sort of red substance the girls then  decided to contact a medium who  solidified all of their beliefs and told  them that the doll had been possessed by  the spirit of someone who was killed in  their apartment building for some reason  the girls didn't immediately get rid of  the doll and The Story Goes that their  friend Lou Who was at the girl's  apartment her heard strange noises one  night and went to investigate and he was  then attacked and killed by Annabelle  the girls finally contacted a priest who  told them that the doll was possessed by  a demon Straight From Hell and then put  them in contact with Ed and Lorraine  Warren they tried to do an exorcism on  the doll but it apparently failed and  now it is kept in a glass box in the  museum where it hopefully cannot and  will never do any more damage in our  number three spot today we have the  Uluru Rock the Uluru rock is a large  Sandstone formation that is located in  the southern part of the Northern  Territory in Australia it is sometimes  known as Ayers Rock but regardless of  what it is called this area is sacred  for the people indigenous to this place  this is part of the reason that those  who visit the rock are asked not to take  anything from the site despite this  people of course still choose to smuggle  pieces of the rock out of the area and  home with them well other than the Bad  Karma and just in general feeling like a  bad person for doing the one thing  you're asked not to do as it turns out  this rock may hold a more sinister or  secret those who have stolen rocks from  the Uluru have experienced things like  extremely bad luck severe illness and  even sometimes the death of those they  love the curse these rocks hold is  seemingly so bad that it is very common  for the company that runs the tours of  the formation to receive letters of  apology that contain the stolen rocks  apparently these letters come so often  at least one a day is expected maybe  this is a weird coincidence but it just  seems to be happening a little too often  for that to be the explanation in our  number two spot today we have the bizano  vase the bizano vase was cast from  Silver in the 15th century and was  apparently a wedding present for a bride  who lived in a small village in Napoli  on the wedding night however the bride  was found dying on the floor with her  hands wrapped around the vase with her  last breath she vowed to have her  revenge and at this point it became  unclear whether the vase was already  cursed or perhaps if this may be what  caused the curse in the first place as  time went on the vase was handed from  person to person within her family and  with each new owner came a mysterious  death because of this the family decided  to hide the vase away in some sort of  secret location and this worked for a  while until the vase was Unearthed once  more in 1988. the vase also contained a  piece of paper from the family that  warned beware this vase brings death  well of course whoever found the vase  did not listen and instead they sold it  once again the first buyer who is said  to have been a pharmacist owned the vase  for three months before passing away  under mysterious circumstances then  there was the 37 year old surgeon who  died after having the vase for two  months after this was the archaeologist  who only made it three months with this  vase in his possession and at this point  you get where this is going we don't  know exactly where the vase ended up but  I'm hoping it's somewhere deep  underground or maybe in space or maybe  in the Mariana Trench just anywhere far  away from all of us in our number one  spot today we have the goddess of death  this statue is sometimes also known as  the woman from Lem this artifact made  out of limestone was created aided  sometime around 3500 BC and it was found  in Cyprus in 1878. over the years it has  belonged to many different families who  have all been ruined and dismantled by  death after the first six years of  ownership all seven members of The First  Family died it then moved on to a second  owner and after four years death began  to come to him and his family there was  then a long period where it was  unclaimed but once the third family got  a hold of it several members of that  family began to die as well the third  family ended up turning it over to the  Royal Scottish Museum where it  thankfully still resides however the  museum curator who handled the item was  mysteriously killed a few days after it  is clear whatever curse this statue  holds it is strong and frightening  number 10 the Busby stoop chair yeah  we're kicking this haunted list off with  a chair it's pretty spooky let's do it  the Busby stoop chair comes from 1702 10  years after the Salem witch trial so  take this one with a grain of salt you  know what I mean people made odd choices  back then women were witches and chairs  were evil welcome to 1702 folks  Englishman Thomas Bubsy had some issues  with his father-in-law and he didn't  handle them too well so now he has to be  you know hanged for it yeah you can't  just kill people for no reason Thomas  what is this 1692 he was hanged near the  humble Inn ironic but a chair that was  nearby is now said to hold a spirit of  one Thomas Busby if you sit on this  chair you are set to die in a frightful  accident so the chair was declared  haunted but did anything actually happen  honestly yeah kind of locals say that  during World War II Airmen from a nearby  base came to the pub the Inn rather and  those who sat on it never returned in  the 70s more accidents were connected  but they still kept the chair around  until 1978. it stayed in the Inn for  that long until it was donated to The  Thirst Museum honestly it's not even a  rocking chair it looks like it should be  a rocking chair but it's not a rocking  chair that's the scariest part if you  ask me number nine the hands resist him  I listed off some dark paintings not too  long ago but somehow I forgot the hands  resisting him painter Bill Stoneham  created this work of art back in 1972.  it's most famously belonged to actor  John Marley from the Godfather he's the  guy who wakes up with the horse's head  in his bed in case you have seen that  movie so that actor got this painting at  one point but later it was found on eBay  with claims that it was cursed from an  anonymous previous seller and the  painting was found abandoned in an alley  behind a brewery so that sounds pretty  promising almost immediately the new  owner of the painting The Family their  daughter claimed to have seen people in  the painting move yeah on top of that  apparently the figures would leave the  painting and mess up the house I mean as  far as excuses go that's not bad for a  messy house oh I cleaned up earlier but  those damn paintings number eight curse  phone number the song  867-5309 has been stuck in my head for  about 18 years now that song is a banger  honestly great jingle too if a pizza  place had thought of that jingle at  first would have been game over if you  ask me a cursed phone number is there  such a thing apparently yes 359 888 and  then a bunch of eights afterwards I  don't want to say it out loud you know  so what's the deal here well anybody  who's had this phone number in the last  20 years or so has met their fate almost  immediately after CEO of a Bulgarian  phone company cancer at 48 that's how he  passed away two criminals later on both  a little more mysterious than cancer  they both passed away afterwards all  these deaths happened within four years  that's the cursed aspect of it all the  phone number was suspended so nobody's  able to use it now in case you're  thinking about it don't do it maybe it's  because of this curse or maybe it has  ties to Crime either way  867-5309 is still stuck in my head I'm  gonna go down with that song right as  soon as we're done here number seven the  basanovas this base  18th century it made for an excellent  wedding gift in Italy but the night  before the big day the bride sadly lost  her life with the vase still in her  hands the family kept it afterwards of  course but as the vase was passed down  the family line a pattern began to  unveil itself whomever held possession  of the pasano vase died shortly  afterwards now keep in mind this was the  15th century so the average lifespan  around then was like I don't know 30  years old but after that many deaths in  the family it was packed away for good  just to be safe or so they thought the  vase showed up again in 1988 alongside a  note the note was pretty to the point it  said Beware this base it brings death  whoever found it was probably like okay  they continued on with the vase and  later it was auctioned for over two  thousand dollars Sans note of course you  don't want to throw that in there the  pharmacist who won the auction you  guessed it passed away within months  number six Baker's wedding dress why is  it in so many horror movies that The  Ghost is always a lady in a white dress  why are there so many ghosts and  nightgowns what's going on why are you  also sleepy maybe they're taken out  before their wedding night over a Vaz or  maybe it's this one back in 1849 in the  small town town of Altoona Pennsylvania  Elias Baker and his wife Hedy lived in  the baker Mansion they had two sons and  one daughter named Anna and had fallen  in love with one of her father's  employees another steel worker but after  her father wouldn't allow the  relationship to take off classic and a  vowed to never marry anybody she locked  herself away in her room now when her  father passed away in 1848 she went to  go find her true love again but he had  since settled down with somebody else so  she spent the rest of her days behaving  erratically and her soul still haunts  that same wedding dress today the  wedding dress she never ended abusing  not just a dress the Mansion is haunted  as well guests would report furniture  moving around by itself honestly it's  not a bad haunting if you ask me moving  couches that would be a great help I  have a terrible back I would love that  number five the crying Boy painting just  the name alone okay I want nothing to do  with this one yeah we're back with  another haunted painting what is this  Hogwarts why are so many paintings  moving around at night this English  curse kicked off in the 50s now this is  a reproduction of Bruno amadio's the  crying Boy painting but this painting is  apparently responsible for lots of fires  in September 1985 a family's home burnt  down everything was gone but the  painting looked untouched British  tabloid the sun even published a story  on it which I'm sure helped the  situation it read blazing curse at the  crying boy picture now we laugh at  beliefs from the Middle Ages and all  that but we're not really much further  here are we people smoking in every  house in the 50s we're like yeah maybe  it was a painting it was probably that  number four the Hope Diamond coming from  the 1660s this curse began when a gem  dealer named Jean Baptiste tavarnier  bought this large Diamond when visiting  India he bought it apparently okay the  origins of the diamond were unknown but  it didn't matter this beauty was just  sitting there and he had to well later  on after tavarnier got the diamond rumor  spread throughout Europe and the United  States that Tavernier actually stole the  diamond from the statue of a Hindu  goddess the newspapers actually kicked  this one off by publishing the Hope  Diamond as an ancient curse the diamond  at one point ended up in the hands of  King Louis XVI and his wife Marie  Antoinette now if you don't know about  them in history they were they lost  their lives during the French Revolution  we'll say that the old Guillotine Dream  Team this Stone then went to Lord  France's Hope come 1839 and by that  point it was deemed cursed officially  this is when it got the name the Hope  Diamond right they ended up selling the  diamond shortly after being reduced to  Poverty then Evelyn Walsh McLean bought  the stone in 1912. shortly after her son  was killed in a car accident so just bad  news all around when the stone was  delivered to its final and current home  the Smithsonian back in 1958 the driver  delivering the package was later hit by  a truck he survived but shortly after  his house caught fire moral of the story  you don't need diamonds for more reasons  than one number three the anguished man  historical paintings are cool but this  is the first time I've read up on the  anguished man myself gotta admit it's  pretty unsettling wow it's considered  one of the most haunted objects in the  world and it looks like it too  definitely would I would guess I'd pick  it out of the crowd this oil painting  was created by an unknown artist but the  actual paint is mixed with their blood  so their legit DNA is in this painting  Blood Sweat and Tears literally not much  is known to the Artist as he passed away  shortly after but the current owner is  Sean Robinson from Cumbria England his  grandmother had given him the painting  there wasn't much known beforehand but  his grandmother warned him that it was  cursed hey here's some Werther's  Originals and a cursed painting classic  grandmas you know how they do Sean had  to leave it in his basement at first  because his wife wasn't a fan more than  fair but when the basement flooded which  is also mysterious and that sucks okay I  did then move it upstairs after that  point the couple heard crying screams  Whispering all throughout the house  things you don't want to hear alone in a  house with a haunted painting it got so  bad Robinson uploaded time-lapse footage  to YouTube in 2011 and it shows the door  closing by itself next to the painting  check it out also yeah keep this in the  basement for sure I agree with the  misses on this one number two broken  mirrors it doesn't matter who you are  you've heard of this one at some point  you break a mirror and what do you get  bad luck he had seven years of bad luck  has this happened to you if so what year  are you on are you close how close are  you to the seven year mark we got your  back you got this you're so close  ancient Romans kicked this one off  they'll believe that the human soul  would renew every seven years that's  where the whole seven year thing comes  into play it takes time to repair the  human soul apparently that combined with  the belief that Amira's reflection was a  way into the soil while now we have one  guy who feels really bad for breaking a  mirror essentially therefore a curse if  you break a mirror you're tearing the  soul from the body and abandoning it in  Kazakhstan if you break a mirror evil  spirits would haunt the person  responsible for the damage that's a  pretty scary deal you gotta keep those  hands grippy they say you can't look  into broken mirror pieces afterwards or  else that's bad luck in itself there's  too many mirrors now honestly cut to  today I'm sure ancient Romans had no  idea what 2022 would look like we have  phone cases with mirrors in them now  that's a lot of bad luck and Jean  Pockets my friends and coming in number  one curse of the billy goat can a team  be cursed is that such a thing here we  go I mean I live in Toronto home of the  Maple Leafs and we don't we don't see a  lot of winds on that side but the  Chicago Cubs curse well that was a huge  deal for a very long time the Chicago  Cubs curse comes from 1945 when a man  named Bill Sionis nicknamed billy goat  he was kicked out of a Chicago Cubs game  yeah he actually didn't even get into  game four to begin with was he too  intoxicated no did he bring a live go  with him to this game yes that was why  yeah Bill brought with him his pet goat  for good luck so after the staff said no  you can't enter the the 1945 World  Series with a live goat he then cursed  the club over and over on the way out  what a guy saying the Cubs ain't gonna  win no more over and over again and that  was the game that they dropped the ball  so something kind of happened the  Detroit Tigers won in the curse of the  billy goat kicked off and it got so out  of hand that come 1994. the Cubs had  lost 12 games in a row their worst home  start in history so Sam sayanus went to  Wrigley Field everybody was chanting to  let the goat in and then the Cubs won  5-2 I don't know humans in the 1700s  were like oh that woman's cursed she's a  witch for sure then humans stay or like  ah that Stadium's cursed for sure cursed  we haven't changed moral the story I  don't know starting off this list in our  number 10 spot we have the Belcourt  Castle chairs Belcourt Castle is located  in Newport Rhode Island and it is a  former summer Cottage construction on  the cottage started in 1891 with it  being completed in 1894 and inside there  is a ballroom this Ballroom is important  because it is said that it holds a group  of haunted chairs people who have  visited the castle have reported a ton  of strange happenings regarding this  specific set of chairs the report  includes things like feeling chills  racing up and down their spines or  feeling a strange sensation in a shift  of energy while standing near the chairs  and some people have even explained how  they have been pushed out of the chairs  by an invisible force I feel  hearing these stories might be enough to  explain the energy shift some people are  feeling but I actually being pushed out  of a chair by some sort of invisible  force would be absolutely terrifying and  simply unexplainable what's going on  there in our number nine spot today we  have the orphan story this is a book  that was originally written in the early  1600s but it didn't end up getting  published until 2018. the orphan story  is about a 14 year old Spanish boy who  heads to the Americas you know a classic  kind of coming-of-age feel-good story  right well not exactly and that is  exactly the reason it took so long for  this book to be published while the  curse in this book doesn't come from the  story itself there is something dark  lurking in those pages the book's  publisher Belinda Palacios who worked on  the book for two years explained that  throughout those years she was often  warned of the cursed book and how every  publisher who had tried to work on it  before ended up passing away in a  mysterious way before they could finish  the book when Belinda looked into this  it turned out to be true her research  showed that those who had tried to edit  the book before her either found  themselves in horrible accidents or with  strange illnesses luckily Belinda made  it through the process unscathed so  let's hope that maybe the curse has been  lifted either way it's probably one I'll  personally stay away from in our number  8 spot today we have the divot box this  box which was originally just a plain  old wine box is said to have been  possessed by a divok which in Jewish  mythology is a malicious demon that  takes over the bodies of living people  and uses them for evil the Box began to  gain attention in 2001 when it was being  auctioned off on eBay the seller  explained that he had bought it at an  estate sale of a woman who had survive  to the Holocaust when he first opened  the box he found two 1920s pennies a  lock of blonde hair bound with a cord a  lock of black or brown hair bound with a  cord a small statue engraved with the  Hebrew word Shalom a small golden wine  goblet one dried Rosebud and a single  candle holder with four octopus shaped  legs since he bought the box he reported  that strange things began happening such  as really horrific nightmares for him  and anyone who had stayed around or  touched the box and when he gave this  box to his mother as a birthday gift she  suffered a stroke the same day the Box  ended up in the hands of Zak Bagan who  is a Paranormal Investigator and it now  resides in his haunted Museum the box  also gained even more attention in 2018  when post Malone touched it and has  apparently been dealing with the  repercussions of that ever since in our  number seven spot today we have the  Iceman okay this one is not an object  because it is rather a mummy who was  once a real living person but I still  had to include him on this list because  this story is wild The Mummy of oatsi  who is referred to as the Iceman was  found in 1991 in the otso Alps in Italy  It is believed that oatsi lived around  3000 BC and his body became mummified  and preserved because of the glacier  that surrounded him post-mortem while  this is an incredibly interesting  Discovery the finding of oatsi may have  come in a package with an old curse just  waiting to be released here's the thing  the people who helped with the discovery  of otsi are all dying under very  mysterious circumstances I mean we are  currently at person number seven within  one year so that's very suspicious when  molecular archaeologist Tom Loy was  writing a book about oatsi he passed  away from a blood-related condition that  he was diagnosed with shortly after  becoming involved with the Iceman the  German tourist helmet sign men who  discovered the mummy fell to his death  while hiking in the same spot he saw  otsi Dieter warnek who was the head of  the Mountain Rescue Team that was  assigned to find the mummy died of a  heart attack at age 45 just an hour  after Simon's funeral to avoid this  becoming an hour-long list I'll stop  here but that is just half of those who  seemingly fell victim to the curse of  the Iceman I don't know maybe disturbing  a man who's been in the same spot for 53  centuries wasn't the best idea anyone's  ever had in our number 5 spot today we  have the ballista balls a Ballista was  used in the Roman military and it was  kind of similar to a crossbow but was  much larger and could shoot arrows or  stones in 1989 there was archaeologists  that were working by the Israeli Syrian  border when they found these large  Stones close to what seemed to be the  remains of a Ballista but around 1995  the stones ended up getting stolen but  it took a while for anyone to notice  fast forward to 2015 in the same stones  that were stolen ended up in the  courtyard of the museum in Israel with a  note left from the person who stole them  the note explained that ever since they  took them he had experienced terrible  luck and believed the stones were the  reason he had a very successful business  that suddenly began to fail after he  took the stones and later his family  abandoned him and he was forced to get  rid of almost all of his possessions to  settle all of his debts so as to not go  bankrupt he mentioned that he believed  the stones were cursed and that they  were the root of all of his problems  whether or not these stones are actually  cursed or this was just some pretty  heavy Karma I hope this guy's been able  to get his life back on track in our  number 4 spot today we have James Dean's  car okay this might seem like a bit of a  wild card but hear me out famous actor  James Dean passed away from a car  accident on September 30th 1955. he was  driving his silver Porsche 550 spider  which he had just purchased recently  this was only the beginning of the car's  curse however as after James passing the  remnants of the totaled car were bought  by a man named George Barris he decided  to sell the parts of the car to James  fans but when the car was being worked  on and taken apart and ended up falling  on the mechanic and crushed him to death  these two incidents are more than enough  to now consider this car cursed but it  still continues on once the people who  had purchased some of the car parts  began receiving them more strange things  happened three of the people who  received Parts ended up in car accidents  all of which were sadly quite severe the  shell of the car was also stolen and to  this day it has never been recovered in  at number two spot today we have old  Nick oldnick is often referred to as the  Swansea devil in history dates back to  the 1890s although he now resides in the  Swansea Museum so back in the 1890s  there was the prestigious Saint Mary's  church located right in the center of  town the church decided to do some  Renovations and they put out some ads to  hire someone when a local Builder  applied for the job and was turned down  he had a major overreaction and decided  he wanted to get some kind of Revenge he  went and bought the row of cottages that  lay next to the church and then  demolished them all in their place he  built large brick offices and then he  commissioned the carving of old Nick and  placed him right on top of the office  building looking down at St Mary's  Church Legend goes that he even placed  the curse himself by saying when your  church is destroyed and burnt to the  ground my devil will remain laughing  some years later during World War II a  German Blitz came through the town and  it left most of the Town including Saint  Mary's completely destroyed and burnt to  the ground but the office building with  old Nick was undamaged and remained  standing for a while old Nick seemed to  kind of disappear but once he resurfaced  there was a petition to put him back  where he was before as well as a  subsequent counter petition to put him  far far away from the rebuilt Saint  Mary's Church as of now old Nick resides  behind glass in the Swansea Museum and  it is said that he is enclosed in glass  more for our protection than his in our  number one spot today we have the  Blarney Stone own for hundreds of years  the Blarney Stone has resided within  Blarney Castle which is near Cork  Ireland this stone is a piece of  limestone and Legend says that those who  give the stone a smooch will then be  given the Gift of Gab this little smooch  can bestow the power of being able to  talk your way out of any situation which  would be incredibly useful but there are  always those who try to indulge in too  much of a good thing the issues start  when you attempt to take a piece of the  stone no matter how small away from its  home those who don't follow the rules  and take the stone end up being cursed  with bad luck every year the castle  receives Parcels from greedy tourists  who tried their luck at stealing  portions of the stone these Parcels are  returned with the intention of lifting  the curse of Misfortune it is said that  once the stone is returned the curse  will be lifted which is most definitely  good news I guess the moral of this  curse however is to not be greedy and  just follow the rules starting off this  list in our number 10 spot we have the  crying children paintings these  paintings were a series created by an  Italian painter who is known as Giovanni  but his real name was Bruno Amarillo  Bruno was born in Venice in 1911 and  fought in World War II which ended up  being the inspiration for a lot of his  paintings during his time in the war he  saw a lot of suffering children and this  is where he got the idea for the series  of crying children paintings after the  paintings were sold there began to be  reports of fires and all of the places  where the paintings were held while this  could have just been a strange  coincidence the weirdest part is that  the paintings always remained intact  while everything else around them was  burned this quickly became the most  talked about thing and was on the front  of every newspaper and the paintings  quickly gained the nickname Diablo it  caused these paintings to end up being  replicated and mass-produced but none of  the replicas hold quite the same power  as the originals in our number nine spot  today we have the Blarney Stone for  hundreds of years the Blarney Stone has  resided within Blarney Castle which is  near Cork Ireland this stone is a piece  of limestone and Legend says that those  who give the stone a smooch will then be  given the gift of the gab this little  smooch can bestow the power of being  able to talk your way out of any  situation which would be incredibly  useful but there are always those who  try to indulge in too much of a good  thing the issues start when you attempt  to take a piece of the stone no matter  how small away from its home those who  don't follow the rules and take the  stone end up being cursed with bad luck  every year the castle receives Parcels  from greedy tourists who tread their  luck at stealing portions of the stone  these Parcels are returned with the  intention of lifting the curse of  Misfortune it is said that once the  stone is returned the curse will be  lifted which is most definitely good  news I guess the moral of this curse  however is to not be greedient to just  follow the rules in our number eight  spot today we have the screaming skull  the screaming skull resides in the  Burton Agnes Hall in England and it is  thought to have belonged to Catherine  Ann Griffith they said that Catherine  was the youngest in the family and she  was the one who enjoyed wandering around  the property the most one day While She  Was Out strolling around she ended up  being surrounded by a group of robbers  who took all of her possessions and then  vicious harmed her and left her for dead  she was found and brought back to the  hall to be tended to but unfortunately a  few days later she succumbed to her  injuries before she died she was upset  about the thought of leaving her family  so she asked them to remove her head  after death and keep her skull so that  they would always have a piece of her  around the family agreed to her face but  after her passing they buried her body  head still intact because to be fair it  was an odd request after her burial the  family began experiencing some extremely  strange things around the house like  bumps and moans and horrible blood  curdling screams that they could not  find the source of this is when they  decided to follow through with the  request Catherine had left them and the  strange occurrences suddenly stopped  after this at one point a maid had found  the skull and in her surprise she threw  it out of a nearby open window and alas  the strange occurrences began again in  the end it was decided that the best  policy was to place the skull in a  secret spot within the walls of the  house probably behind some paneling in  the Great Hall so that its presence  could be be easily ignored and so that  Catherine's Spirit could reside in peace  in her beloved home I guess the lesson  of this one is to follow the wishes of  those who have passed because you never  know if their spirit is gonna stay  lingering around afterwards in our  number seven spot today we have the  haunted doll there's quite a few haunted  dolls kicking around out there  apparently but this one doesn't exactly  have a name the doll's owners say that  this doll is possessed and causes lots  of troubles at night the incredibly  creepy thing about this one is that it  is said that you don't need to do  anything in order for this doll to  decide it wants to haunt you you just  simply need to be around it and that is  more than enough for the torment to  start owners of the doll have reported  getting a bunch of strange scratches  which they believe are because of the  doll it isn't exactly clear where the  spirit or spirits that reside in this  doll have come from or what happened but  the doll was bought from its previous  owners by a woman named Deborah Davies  who is a psychic Deborah reported the  same scratches as the previous owners  but she also may have been able to  contact this beer residing in the doll  she claimed that the spirit was that of  a young girl who had her life taken from  her but she also reported that the nasty  evil energy within the doll is a male  and she believes that this energy is  that of the man who took the life of the  girl at the end of the day whatever is  haunting this doll is certainly a spirit  I would like to stay far far away from  in our number six spot today we have the  ballista balls a Ballista was used in  the Roman military and it was kind of  similar to a crossbow but much larger  and it could shoot arrows or stones in  1989 there were archaeologists that were  working by the Israeli Syrian border  when they found these large Stones close  to what seemed to be the remains of a  Ballista but around 1995 the stones  ended up getting stolen and it took a  while for anyone to notice fast forward  to 2015 and the same stones that were  stolen ended up in the courtyard of a  museum in Israel with a note left from  the person who stole them the note  explained that ever since they took them  he had experienced terrible luck and  believed the stones were reason he had a  very successful business that suddenly  began to fail after he took the stones  and later his family abandoned him and  he was forced to get rid of almost all  of his possessions to settle all of his  debts so as to not go bankrupt he  mentioned that he believed the stones  were cursed and that they were the root  of all of his problems whether or not  these stones are actually cursed or if  this was just some pretty heavy Karma I  hope this guy has been able to get his  life back on track in our number 5 spot  today we have the golden eagle this car  was a 1964 Dodge 330 limited edition and  it has been blamed for the death of  around 14 people which is 14 too many if  you ask me it was said that this car  started out as a police car originally  but then there were three officers  assigned to this car who all ended up  taking their lives and other people's  lives in horribly violent ways not in  the car but still super weird that this  all seemed to happen after they had been  using the car for work because of this  strange correlation it ended up being  sold off to another man throughout the  80s and 90s it was said that because of  the rumored cursed car it became a point  of interest for vandals people began  vandalizing the car only to meet their  own untimely Fates which were all met in  strange ways for example it was said  that one Vandal died from being struck  by lightning and another ended up being  decapitated by an 18-wheeler it is said  that the curse is so strong that one kid  decided to merely touch the car and it  sent him into madness as he went on to  commit atrocious crimes that I can't  even detail here on YouTube the card now  belongs to Wendy Allen who supposedly  collects and decorates haunted cars for  a living so it seems as though it's  finally found its home far far far away  from everyone else in our number four  spot today we have the Myrtles  Plantation mirror Myrtle's plantation is  located in Saint Francisville Louisiana  and it is said to be one of the most  haunted places in the entire world one  of the reasons for this spooky  reputation is because of a mirror that  resides inside it is said that this  mirror holds the spirit of Sarah  Woodruff and her two children Legend  goes that woman named Chloe was a slave  at the plantation who drew up a plan to  get revenge on the owners of the  plantation Sarah and her husband Chloe  baked a cake full of poison for them but  it ended up only being Sarah and two of  her children who consumed the poisonous  cake when they passed away it is said  that their Spirits went into the only  mirror that was uncovered at the time  thus the haunted mirror was born people  who have since visited the plantation  have claimed to see the family in the  reflection as well as the handprints of  small children on the glass despite  continuous polishing in our number three  spot today we have the Surrey ghost car  on December 11th of 2002 A call came  into the Surrey Police Department the  caller reported that they had just seen  a car lose control and run off the road  and then presumably crash it was of  course an emergency call but not  necessarily anything out of the ordinary  that was until authorities got to the  location and realized that they couldn't  find any kind of evidence of a crash  they kept searching and ended up finding  a maroon colored car that was nosed down  in a ditch nearby but this car was  covered in so much on undergrowth that  it must have been here for months this  meant that somehow this crash went  undetected for five months and worst of  all so did the body that lay nearby  using dental records they were able to  identify the body as a man who had been  wanted for robbery since July of that  year it is said that the sighting of the  car leaving the road was a ghostly  replay of the events that had taken  place five months prior what do you guys  think let me know Down Below in the  comments if you think the witness saw a  cursed reenactment of the fatal crash or  if you think something else is at play  here in our number two spot today we  have the destiny ring Rudolph Valentino  was an incredibly famous silent film  star before he passed away at the  incredibly young age of just 31 years  old and there are many out there who  believe his untimely death was caused by  the destiny ring this ring was one that  he picked up from a California Jeweler  before purchasing it there were warnings  of the stories which claimed this ring  was cursed but Rudolph decided to go  ahead with the purchase anyway it is  said that after this ring came into his  possession his luck began to turn term  the movies he starred in started to do  poorly some even flopping and his career  began to struggle from there he felt  incredibly ill and when he passed away  he was wearing this cursed ring from  there after his death his lover ended up  receiving the ring but once it was in  her possession she too felt extremely  ill and decided to give the ring away  all the owners after that were reported  to have died in strange ways or under  mysterious circumstances which has led  the ring to now being placed in a bank  vault all locked up so that it hopefully  can never cause harm to anyone ever  again in our number one spot today we  have Letta the doll why do all the  cursed dolls look like they would be  cursed you know what I mean like there's  no cursed doll out there that is  surprisingly cursed they all look creepy  to begin with anyway Letta is a doll  that is said to be around 200 years old  and extremely cursed this doll is called  Letta for short as its full name is  letting me out of here really clever the  doll was originally found underneath a  house which definitely feels like the  origins story of a haunted doll This  creepy Discovery came 47 years ago and  apparently let us still lives with the  man who found him the hauntings of Letta  include things like the doll walking  around on its own at night the owners  finding objects around the house that  have been moved into odd places some  people have seen let him move right in  front of their own eyes and the owner  also reports finding little doll-sized  scuff marks around the house as well it  is said that this doll once belonged to  a child who passed away while holding it  thus their Spirit became trapped inside  of the doll Apparently one day in an  interview about Letta as the interviewer  was asking questions about the little  boy the doll began to move in her lap  yeah no thank you let it has his own  Instagram and Facebook page in case you  want to hear more about all the  creepiness surrounding this cursed doll  kicking off this list in her number 10  spot we have the crying children  paintings these paintings were a series  created by an Italian painter who is  known as Giovanni braglan but his real  name was Bruno Amarillo Bruno was born  in Venice in 11 and fought in World War  II which ended up being the inspiration  for a lot of his paintings during his  time in the war he saw a lot of  suffering children and this is where he  got the idea for the series of the  crying children paintings after the  paintings were sold there began to be  reports of fires in all of the places  where the paintings were held while this  could have just been a strange  coincidence the weirdest part is that  the paintings always remained intact  while everything else around them was  burned this quickly became the most  talked about thing and was on the front  of every newspaper and the paintings  quickly gained to the nickname Diablo it  caused these paintings to end up being  replicated and mass-produced but none of  the replicas hold quite the same Powers  as The Originals moving on to number  nine we have the stoop chair that once  belonged to Thomas Busby Thomas was a  man who lived in thirsk North Yorkshire  and wasn't known as a very nice man but  he really loved his chair in 1702 he  found his father-in-law sitting in it  and it sparked in argument between the  two the father-in-law threatened to take  his daughter back and that's when Busby  kicked him out of the house after this  Busby ended up going over to the  father-in-law's house and actually kills  him with a hammer and then hid the body  in the woods of course the body ended up  being found and this led to Busby  getting convicted and sentenced to death  it is said that on his ride to his  execution he asked to stop by his  favorite Pub for a beer and this request  was fulfilled apparently as he finished  his drink he said May sudden death come  to anyone who dare sit in my chair I  really don't know what it is with this  guy in his chair but while it currently  resides in The Thirst Museum it has been  recorded that many terrible Fates have  been met by the people who have sat in  the chair in 1972 it was decided to hang  the chair from the ceiling so that no  one could sit in it again which is  probably for the best would you have sat  in the chair if you had the chance  moving on to number eight we have the  anguished man while it is unknown who  and when it was created this painting is  set to carry some kind of curse it is  rumored that whoever created it mixed  his blood in with the oil paint and when  it was finished being created he ended  up committing inside when a woman who is  referred to as Mrs Robinson originally  took possession of the painting after it  was given to her by a family friend she  immediately knew that something was  wrong with it she ended up passing it  along to her grandson Sean Who currently  still owns the painting The Robinson  family has reported many different  strange events that have happened in  relation to the painting such as hearing  screams and groans coming from it Sean  has even uploaded videos to YouTube  where he shows these paranormal events  I'm not sure why the family has decided  to keep the painting but I guess as long  as it's not hurting anyone it's okay  continuing on to number seven we have  the real life Annabelle doll when I saw  the 2014 Annabelle movie I had no idea  it was actually based on a real life  doll the doll now resides inside of  Warren's occult Museum where it  absolutely belongs there was a college  student named Donna who received the  doll as a gift from her mother who had  purchased it from an antique store Donna  and her roommate started to notice some  pretty creepy things happening and swore  that the doll was moving they said it  would appear in different places and  positions throughout their apartment  before things began to escalate Donna  began to find notes that said help in  her apartment and one night found the  doll in a different position and covered  in some sort of red substance the girls  then decided to contact a medium who  solidified all of their beliefs and told  them that the doll had been possessed by  the spirit of someone who was killed in  their apartment building for some reason  the girls didn't immediately get rid of  the doll and The Story Goes that their  friend Lou Who was at the girl's  apartment heard strange noises one night  and went to investigate and he was then  attacked and killed by Annabelle the  girls finally contacted a priest who  told them that the doll was possessed by  a demon Straight From Hell and then put  them in contact with Ed and Lorraine  Warren who are paranormal investigators  they tried to do an exorcism on the doll  but it apparently failed and now it is  kept in a glass box in the museum I  didn't know that a glass box is the  safest place for a paranormal item but  as long as it isn't hurting anyone  that's the important thing moving on to  number six we have the ballista balls a  Ballista was used in the Roman military  and it was kind of similar to a crossbow  but much larger and could shoot arrows  and stones in 1989 there were some  archaeologists that were working by the  Israeli Syrian border when they found  these large Stones close to what seemed  to be the remains of a Ballista but  around 1995 the stones ended up

began to fail after he  took the stones and later his family  abandoned him and he was forced to get  rid of almost all all of his possessions  to settle all of his debts so as to not  go bankrupt he mentioned that he  believed the stones were cursed and that  they were the root of all of his  problems whether or not these stones are  actually cursed or this was just some  pretty heavy Karma I hope this guy has  been able to get his life back on track  halfway down the list in our number five  spot we have the goddess of death statue  who is also known as the woman from the  Lem this artifact made out of limestone  was created sometime around 3500 BC and  was found in Cyprus in 1878. over the  years it has belonged to many different  families who all have been ruined and  dismantled by death after the first six  years of ownership all seven members of  The First Family died it then moved on  to a second owner and after four years  death began to come to him and his  family there was then a long period  where it was unclaimed but once the  third family got a hold of it several  members of that family began to die as  well the third family ended up turning  it over to the Royal Scottish Museum  where it's thankfully still resides  moving on to number four we have the  Hope Diamond the Hope Diamond was most  likely cut from a mine in India and  placed in a statue it is a huge 45  carats and has a beautiful rare blue  color it is one of the most famous  diamonds in the world partially for its  beauty but also because of all of the  mysterious happenings surrounding it one  day a thief stole the diamond and is  said to have died quite soon after from  then on anyone who owned or even touched  the diamond was said to have met an ill  fate whether it was side a massacre or a  pack of wild dogs the diamond seemed to  have placed a curse on any and everyone  who got near it in 1958 it was  fortunately donated to the Smithsonian  and has been safe there ever since I  wonder if it got moved from the museum  if the curse would continue moving on to  number three we have the dibbuk box the  box which was originally just a plain  old wine box is said to have been  possessed by a dibbuk which in Jewish  mythology is a malicious demon the Box  began to gain attention in 2001 when it  was being auctioned off on eBay the  seller explained that he had bought it  at an estate sale of a woman who had  survived the Holocaust when he first  opened the book he found two 1920s  pennies a lock of blonde hair bound with  a cord a lock of black or brown hair  bound with a cord a small statue  engraved with the Hebrew word Shalom a  small golden wine goblet one dried  Rosebud and a single candle holder with  four octopus shaped legs since he bought  the box he reported that strange things  began happening such as really horrific  nightmares for him and anyone who had  stayed around or touched the box and  when he gave the box to his mother as a  birthday gift she suffered a stroke the  same day the Box ended up in the hands  of Zach Bagan who is a Paranormal  Investigator and it now resides in his  haunted Museum the box also gained even  more attention in 2018 when post Malone  touched it and has apparently been  dealing with the repercussions of that  ever since coming on to number two we  have the dark mirror the dark mirror now  belongs to the traveling Muse Museum of  the occult who got it from The Mirror's  original owner the mirror is said to  show some pretty unsettling images when  you stare into it the original owner  said that they purchased it from a  psychic fair in the Columbus area and  were shocked with the Visions they saw  when looking into the glass visitors to  the traveling Museum have claimed to see  some pretty crazy things such as their  own corpse when they gaze into the  mirror it's pretty creepy stuff in our  number one spot today we have the cursed  portrait of Spanish military leader  Bernardo de Galvez Bernardo was born in  Spain in 1746 and died under strange  circumstances in 1786 and was famous for  helping American colonies in the war of  independence the painting is on display  at the Galvis hotel in Galveston Texas  which is said to be one of the most  haunted hotels in part because of this  portrait the portrait is at the end of a  hallway in the hotel and guests have  reported the eyes following their every  move people also report a cold or  uncomfortable feeling when they get  close to the painting and and this is  said to be bernardo's Spirit some people  even swear they can feel him following  them around the hotel it is also said  that any picture you try and take of the  portrait will come out blurry and  distorted unless you ask Bernardo for  permission  foreign  [Music]
