“My great great grandmother, Jane, fell madly in love with a man... she was so angry with her ex-lover that as her daughter was placed in her arms, she cursed all men who had come into their lives.” That single, furious declaration, made in a convent after being left at the altar, is the origin point for a listener’s family curse that has killed husbands, doomed sons, and left the women of the bloodline with powerful psychic gifts.

Show Notes

Things are getting dark this week, as we dive into all things curses: generational curses, cursed objects, theater curses, dark magic and the terrifying possibility that some bad luck might be way more than coincidence. Listener stories reveal families plagued by misfortune, haunted stage disasters, sinister attachments, ghostly protectors, and objects that refuse to stay buried.

Stories include:

  • A listener from a long line of witches shares a family curse where nearly every man connected to their bloodline suffers tragic or mysterious deaths.

  • After someone utters the name of the cursed Scottish play, a musical spirals into chaos with wardrobe malfunctions, missed cues, and a near-deadly stage accident.

  • After a violent breakup, a mother and her children experience terrifying paranormal activity, but may have gained justice when a curse placed on them backfires.

  • A grandmother known for house blessings identifies cursed objects, including a chocolate cake and an eerie mask that would not burn.

  • Shamans uncover a curse spanning multiple past lives, with rituals revealing powerful entities that refuse to let go.
