Cursed Objects Part 1: The Classics | Ep 43

Can an object actually be cursed—or are we just very good at turning tragedy into a story?

In the first episode of a brand-new Cursed Objects series on The Night Crew Podcast, Brad Ricks digs into six of the most famous allegedly cursed artifacts in history: the Hope Diamond, the Koh-i-Noor, the Curse of Tutankhamun, the mysterious Basano Vase, the Delhi Purple Sapphire, and the Black Orlov Diamond.

But this isn’t just a collection of creepy legends. Brad separates the documented history from the folklore to uncover how these curses were actually built. Some were fueled by real deaths. Some were amplified by newspapers. One may have been deliberately embellished by Cartier to help sell a diamond. Another might never have existed at all.

From royal executions and colonial theft to mysterious suicides, pharaoh tombs, supposedly bloodstained gemstones, and objects people became convinced were trying to ruin their lives, this episode asks a bigger question: why do we need cursed objects in the first place?

If you love dark history, paranormal mysteries, haunted objects, occult legends, ancient curses, Egyptian mythology, true horror, and stories where folklore collides with documented history, this is the perfect place to start.
