5 Most Haunted Objects in the World You Should Never Touch
Most of us touch unknown objects without giving it a second thought, right? It might be something random at a friend’s house, a cultural artifact at a thrift shop, or even an old family possession that has been passed down through the generations. But what if some of those objects weren’t just “things”? Believe it or not, there are thousands of cursed objects around the world famous for being haunted. Out of curiosity, horror enthusiasts are still eager to have a look but the result? Mysteriously bad things start to happen to them. You know, like in the “Lord of the Rings,” the feel of the “precious” ring, the “forbidden fruit,” attracts people, only to destroy them later. That’s why we decided to let you know about 5 of these haunted objects you should not touch on any occasion. Once you glance at the Hope Diamond at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., it’s hard to believe something so beautiful could have such a dark past. This 45-carat violet diamond is supposed to be coming from India and it’s known to be haunted. People often compare looking at this mesmerizing diamond to the excitement of gambling, which is irresistibly tempting, yet full of potential risks. Unlike the eerie history behind this jewel, online gambling actually provides various options to dive into action without any initial investment and enjoy the thrill with no curse attached. As for the Hope Diamond, chances are that its look will also draw you in but be careful because the fates of each person who owned this diamond ended terribly. According to stories, originally the Hope Diamond was stolen from a statue and the thief ended up with a terrible death. After this, because of this diamond, Jaques Colet committed suicide, Princess de Lamballe died in a massacre, and a merchant named Jean Le Tavernier was killed by wild dogs. Today the diamond is stored at the Smithsonian Museum. For those who have watched the movie, Annabelle, the story of this doll must be familiar. The Annabelle Doll is popular for being the most haunted doll existing. According to a story, it used to be the property of a little girl with the same name, but its haunted story begins when the doll was gifted to paranormal investigators, named Ed and Lorraine. Not long after, this doll caused some seriously strange things to happen. It started with the doll moving to different spots in the apartment and changing the sitting position on its own. Later it was investigated that the doll was possessed by a demon from hell. The owners tried to exorcise the doll but it didn’t work and it was moved to a museum in Connecticut, stored inside a glass box for no one to touch. The Goddess of Death Statue was created around 3500 BC and in 1878 it was found in Cyprus. At first look, it’s uncommon to recognize what the object is exactly, considering it’s ancient and has a very unusual shape. The artifact is known to possess a dark curse that unleashes on the whole family of the owner. In the first family that owned The Goddess of Death Statue, all 7 members died within 6 years of unknown causes. The second owner was a man named Ivor Menucci and he died along with his family throughout 4 years. Finally, when the item was in the ownership of the last family, a few members died again but this time the family donated the statue to the Royal Scottish Museum. The Dark Mirror is one of the mysterious objects that appear to be alive and interacting with people. While it can be tempting to look inside, you might be putting yourself in danger. It had been reported that whoever looks inside the mirror gets terrible visions and nightmares, along with hearing creepy, uncomfortable noises that seem very real when they’re not. Some people have even mentioned that they saw their dead corpse while gazing into this mirror so if you want to avoid nightmares at night, you should probably stay away. As of today, The Dark Mirror is held by The World’s Only Mobile Museum of The Unexplained. This wine box is well-known for being possessed by a demon named Dybbuk. In Jewish mythology, a Dybbuk is an evil and controlling being. There’s even a film called The Possession, which was inspired by the Dybbuk box. The object became popular in 2001 when its current owner put it on eBay for auction and claimed many strange occurrences happened while he was in the presence of this box, including dreadful nightmares. The Dybbuk Box became even more recognized after its encounter with a famous singer, Post Malone. According to reports, he touched the artifact and has been suffering from its terrible consequences since. If you read this article carefully, by now you should be aware that some charming objects might be threatening, and no matter how enticing they can be, you need to take caution and stay away. Even though haunted artifacts might be exciting to come across, it can still be a big risk just to be around them. Our advice? Just admire these haunting objects from a safe distance but somehow resist the urge to touch them.
