Cursed Objects Part 3: Marked by Tragedy | Ep 46

Some cursed objects are blamed for bad luck. These ones have something darker attached to them: real deaths, real tragedy, and a body count.

In Episode 3 of the Cursed Objects series on The Night Crew Podcast, Brad Ricks explores five infamous objects whose legends are tied to documented deaths, accidents, fires, and human suffering. From Busby’s Stoop Chair, supposedly cursed to kill anyone who sits in it, to James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder “Little Bastard,” whose wreckage became linked to a growing trail of racing deaths and strange accidents, this episode asks what happens when tragedy gets attached to an object—and the story becomes bigger than the facts.

Brad also dives into the infamous Myrtles Plantation mirror, separating the popular Chloe ghost story from the plantation’s real and far more difficult history; the Crying Boy paintings, which sparked a full-blown British tabloid panic after supposedly surviving house fires untouched; and two internet-era legends, The Hands Resist Him and The Anguished Man, whose haunted reputations exploded through eBay listings, viral stories, and paranormal claims.

Along the way, this episode uncovers how cursed-object legends are often built from a mixture of real tragedy, folklore, media sensationalism, tourism, money, coincidence, and our need to give suffering a villain. Sometimes the object is old. Sometimes the story is old. And sometimes the story was created long after the object ever entered the room.

If you love cursed objects, haunted artifacts, dark history, paranormal stories, ghost legends, James Dean, haunted paintings, true horror, urban legends, and the strange places where documented history collides with supernatural folklore, this episode is for you.
