5 min readScary Stories: Cursed
A registered nurse working the ER in New Orleans watched a patient die despite his team's best efforts. The man's widow, a practitioner of Voodoo, screamed at the medical staff in French Creole, blaming them for her husband's death. She cursed them. The nurse and his colleagues laughed it off—except for Andre, a big linebacker of a man who spoke Creole and took the threat seriously. A few weeks later, the doctor who had treated the patient died in his sleep from a massive cerebral hemorrhage. He was young and healthy. Later that day, Andre cornered the nurse in the cafeteria and told him the curse had killed the doctor, and that one of them was next. That night, Andre fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into oncoming traffic. The nurse quit his job, moved back to the Midwest, and got a blessing from his priest. Nine years later, he still doesn't know if the deaths were coincidences.
