Cursed Objects

-

I am a firm believer of energy. I believe that energy is never created nor destroyed and that it passes from one form to another.

I’m also a believer that objects can carry energy from previous owners as the following iO9 article shows: 7 Terrifying Cursed Objects That Actually Exist.

One of the items that is listed in the article is Annabelle, a raggedy Anne doll. According to the various stories I’ve read, the doll is the vessel for a demonic spirit that convinced her owners that it was the spirit of a young girl. Her owners tried many times to rid themselves of the doll for it to inexplicably reappear in their home. Sometimes it was accompanied with a note or writings on the wall!

The doll was eventually taken in by the famous paranormal couple, the Warrens, for display in their Occult Museum. During the drive to the Warren’s home, various unfortunate happenings occurred. One was a unexpected flat time. The doll is so cursed that ropes delineate a safe viewing distance.

I’ve heard of other stories of cursed objects. One that comes to mind is from a former friend who passed away a couple of years ago.

He and his boyfriend would visit estate sales on their days off. During one of their hunts they found a China set that belonged to a woman who had recently passed away. Her daughter eager to sell her house and her late mother’s belongings, sold the set for $300. When they arrived home, they put the box of China in another room to wait for another day to inspect the purchase.

That very night they heard the shuffling of plates in the room where they placed the box. Concerned that someone might have broken into their home, they walked in to see what was causing the noise to find that the plates were out of the box! For the next few nights they would hear the plates move and find them out. Luckily they were able to contact the daughter. She was leaving for a business trip in the next couple of days. They explained the nightly goings on and returned the China for a refund.

The late woman was so attached to the plates that she didn’t want anyone else to own them save for her daughter.

Word of advice: If you ever buy something that had a previous owner, “feel” it out first.

The Lingering Scent of Vanilla

"... The first thing to hit me was the strong scent of vanilla. I commented to Mike about the vanilla scent asking if it were a new car freshener. That's when Mike just came out with it: He had an attachment!" In this story, a friend had a paranormal experience in his early twenties under a bridge known for suicides. Fast forward years later, he wants to experience the same "thrill" of having a paranormal encounter, but this time he makes a serious mistake and the spirit attaches to him. Another Trip to the Bridge Last year, I hosted a small impromptu dinner of a few friends. It was October with Halloween drawing near. Our discussions around the table centered around ideas of what costumes we were going to wear on the 31st, if we were going watch the latest Paranormal Activity movie and the retelling of ghost stories. As usual for this time of year I told the story of the uninvited passenger to my guests, and how it was the closest encounter with the p

The Uninvited Passenger

Since it's October with Halloween at the end of this month, I decided to detail an experience I had with the paranormal around this time of year several years ago. The odd fact of the encounter was that it was not associated with any particular place. It was, in fact, connected with a particular person.   In the late Autumn of 2004, just before Halloween, I was in between jobs. I was not overly worried about my employment situation because I knew that it was just a matter of time. I had enough experience in my field that I was receiving e-mail messages from recruiters and companies that I could extend my "vacation" as I thought of it. Instead of looking over my messages or searching through job listings, I spent much of it with two friends: Tina and Yvette.   "... It was the drive that morning when something followed us..."    I met Tina through a mutual friend. She was living with her boyfriend in a house that our mutual friend's father owned. After tal

Just Say “No!” to Ouija - Part 3

[ The following story is a first-hand, cautionary account about the Ouija board and does not promote it’s casual use. It is NOT a game. It is NOT a toy. If you decide to use the board, please take spiritual precautions such as saying a prayer before use. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! All names are fictitious to protect the identities of those mentioned in the story. ] After contacting Ya-Ya we used the board less and less often. What we thought was fun and a curiosity at first start started to become serious. Yet, because of that same curiosity, we would ask Ya-Ya questions if something were to happen that we could not explain. One such reason was when one of the other cousins, who was not participating, came down with “something”. Background Although the Philippines is for the most part Christian and predominantly Catholic, each region’s animistic and shamanistic folk beliefs still continue until the present day. Aside from being religious, Filipinos tend to be very superstitious as well.
