Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing
Channel on the internet! I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I
am talking the Top 10 Supernatural Objects That Are Cursed…. Which really is kind of a double pronged attack
is it not? Firstly…they’re supernatural….secondly
they are CURSED! What a way to level up! 10 - Dybbuk Box
A normal object turned supernatural, turned cursed. What a journey. The Dybbuk 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 perhaps what attracted the ghoul. The spirit in question is allegedly a holocaust
survivor, Havakeh, who escaped to Spain. The box was famously sold on ebay in 2003
and has spent the past 16 years bouncing between owners who do not want it. It seems a each owner has fallen on horrifying
misfortune and suffered recurring nightmares. One owner suffered a stroke after receiving
it as a gift. Apparently, the box has now been hidden by
Jewish Rabbis. The box has a connection with the 2012 film
The Possession, which seems to have been based on the wine box events. 9 - The Voodoo Dolls
Voodoo Dolls in general are supernatural items – they are little effigies created in magic
practices and for the person on the receiving end, they are certainly bad juju. Pins are placed in the dolls in order to harm
the subject. Its not great. Not great at all! SO….with that in mind…… a supernatural
object used to invoke a curse….do you want to see some Voodoo dolls from one of the most
cursed places in the world – The Ed and Lorraine Warren Occult museum. The noose on the neck of one of the dolls
probably indicates that someone died…and gouged out eyes… well, that isn’t so great
either! It seems a doll collector came across these
dolls and brought them home, only to find her sons health deteriorating. It seems some of the witches voodoo doll magic
had retained and picked the boy as its new vessel. The collector contacted the warrens who removed
the dolls, after which the boy recovered. The story continues, it seems that a visitor
to the museum broke the rules and touched one of the dolls and was later involved in
a horrifying accident. 8 - Basano Vase
At first the Basano Vase is a sight to behold. It is a carved silver vase from the 15th Century
– an antique…. But as it is on this list you may have indeed
realized that it is a supernatural antique with a curse. The story goes that the vase was made for
an Italian wedding as a gift to the bride, who was to be wed in a traditional ceremony
in Napoli. On her wedding night, she was stabbed and
she was found bleeding and clutching the vase. The legend has it that she promised to return
and seek vegence on the person who stopped her marrying her love. After her death, the vase was passed down
through the family, but anyone who came into contact with the vase mysteriously fell upon
serious misfortune. Following that, the vase was wrapped up and
packed away, but unfortunately it was unearthed again hundreds of years later in the late
80s, when it started making headlines for continuing its spate of deadly bad luck. Newspaper reports indicate the vase was later
buried in an undisclosed location, hoping it will stay out of the way of human contact. 7 - Evil Eye
Ah, the curse of the evil eye….although in an interesting twist, as these objects
protect against curses…. SO The Evil eye is a curse cast by a malevolent
glare, given to a person when they aren’t looking. If an evil eye is cast on you, you are susceptible
to injury or misfortune – it could even set animals upon you! To protect yourself from the evil eye, usually
people carry a talisman with an eye on it – Which in themselves look prettttttty terrifying
but actually, but they’re there to stare down any evil. The evil eye has been incorporated into a
lot of protective objects – most popularly jewellery, but also wall hangungs and wind
chimes. I feel like I want an evil eye bracelet so
it can stare down a few evil eyes that have been looking my way recently. 6 - Cursed Tarot Deck
Tarot cards are used in divination – 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, however, are convinced that their
tarot decks can become cursed and all that is forecasted will happen …badly! There is also a superstition that burning
tarot cards will bring a curse upon you. It seems the only way to be rid of a cursed
deck of tarots is to drown them….soak them all face down in water… but… I’m not so sure about that! 5 - Maori Masks
Maori is the name of the indigenous people of New Zealand and Polynesia. Masks are made to honour their ancestors and
are often beautifully carved and slightly intimidating. 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 more uncertain time. Legend has it you shouldn’t seek one out
if you are pregnant or menstruating as you can become cursed. In October 2010 a museum in Newzealand made
headlines when it told a pregnant woman to stay away from a sacred artifact. 4- Uluru
Is a rock formation an object?! Either way, Uluru…or Ayres Rock is both
sacred and cursed. The large sandstone monolith in the Northern
Territory of Central Australia is sacred to Aboriginal tribes, the first people of the
land. They believe it is inhabited by the ancestral
spirits of the land. The rock started forming 550 million years
ago and it is believed that if a visitor takes a rock from the spot, they will suffer serious
misfortune, sometimes even grave misfortune. There have been reports of people returning
stones they have taken from Ayres Rock to try and end their suffering. 3 - Terracotta Army
I believe that the Terracotta army have an air 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 rediscovered by local farmers In 1974
in Yang Village’s rural land. For them, though, the discovery was a curse. The government didn’t pay them well for
their findings and they took their land and homes off them in order to build a tourist
centre. One of the farmers who discovered the soldiers
killed himself an d the others met bad luck, with many dying penniless. 2 - The Demon Book
The Book of Soyga is an early 16th Century Treatise on Demonology Written in Latin. There are only two copies of the book in the
world, and one was possessed by Elizabethan Scholar, John Dee, who spent his life trying
to interpret the text, which was filled with spells and rituals. He had a pretty good grasp of what was happening,
save for the final 36 pages, which he simply couldn’t decipher. He and his trusted friend, Edward Kelly summoned
the spirit Uriel to tell them the meaning of the last pages. The legend says that Uriel 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 Archangel
Michael himself. He also said that who ever deciphers the meaning
of the 36 pages will be destined to die two and a half years later. 1 - The Delhi Purple Sapphire
Also known as the gem of sorrow, the Dehli 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 taking
them back to Britain. This is 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 began to fall apart. He gave the stone away and the person who
received it committed suicide. The next owner of the Sapphire was Edward
Heron Allen who also met bad luck. He bound the stone with silver and attached
two scarab beetles and it seemed like the bad luck was contain…however his dreams
were frequently haunted by a Hindu Yogi until he gave the stone away. The stone was returned to him so he threw
it in regents canal. No prizes for guessing it came back…. Oh… go on then…you can have a prizes. The story continues over another hundred years. More recently it found its way to a museum
and one night the museum curator was travelling with the stone only to be injured
in a terrible storm with his wife. \
