Cursed and Evil Things

The idea that certain objects can be cursed or even possessed by evil spirits is as old as mankind. In this book we will look at a few of the world's most dangerously cursed items such as Robert the Doll and Annabelle,

The Basano vase is an item that has killed almost everyone who purchased it. Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen tomb is believed to have been responsible for a number of deaths. The Ark of the Covenant is regarded as an intrinsically holy object in the Jewish faith and a physical manifestation of the presence of God among his people is also perhaps the most dangerous item in existence to those not of this faith. What you have seen in movies like Raiders of the lost Ark only hint at the power that this item contains.

The Thomas Busby's Chair also called the Dead Man's Chair is an oak chair which is said to be cursed by a murderer Thomas Busby. People who sit in this chair die, as many as 63 deaths. So many have died that the it can only be displayed to the public by suspending it from wires above the museum floor so that no one will be able to sit in it.

In this book we will also explore how to identify and dispose of cursed items safely.
