Atlas Obscura presents a chilling collection of nine cursed objects that have left a trail of misfortune in their wake. From a stained gravestone in Maine to a haunted doll in Florida, these items carry with them tales of death, disease, and supernatural occurrences.
The Cursed Memorial of Colonel Buck in Bucksport, Maine, features a witch-boot shaped stain and a curse that has plagued the town for years. Meanwhile, in Key West, Florida, Robert the Doll is a sinister figure that has terrorized locals for over a century, believed to be possessed by an evil spirit.
Traveling across the globe, one encounters The Chained Oak in Alton, England, where a deadly curse led to the chaining of its branches, and the Forres Witches Stone in Scotland, warning against the theft of its stones. In Chigasaki, Japan, the grave of Ochobamba is said to be cursed, stemming from an old woman’s miraculous cure of cholera.
Spain’s The Pools of Castellnou, an abandoned swimming pool with a dark past, and Paris’s Witch Rock of Montmartre, rumored to carry a curse, add to the list of haunted objects. In Swansea, Wales, the Swansea Devil, a wooden figure, witnessed the burning of a church, fulfilling a century-old prophecy.
Wrapping up the eerie inventory are Saint Salvator’s Unlucky PH in Saint Andrews, Scotland, known for a martyr’s curse that students fear, and the mysterious Owosso, Michigan, Grave of Felix Schlag, with its enigmatic aura.
These cursed objects serve as cautionary tales, warning against meddling with forces beyond our understanding. Each item on this list carries a legacy of tragedy and misfortune, inviting brave souls to explore their haunted histories and unravel the mysteries that shroud them.
Whether driven by curiosity or a thirst for the supernatural, those who dare to venture near these objects must be prepared to face the consequences of disturbing the spirits that linger within.
