Ireland's Scariest Fairy Tales & Myths and the Legends Behind Them


With st. Patrick's Day right around the corner we thought we would talk about some Irish fairy tales or more specifically the fairies that live inside the fairy tales just a fair warning though these fairies aren't quite as happy and helpful as our beloved tooth fairy or Tinkerbell in fact some of these fairies are downright scary and have got us thinking that we might just need to start celebrating Halloween on st. Patrick's Day instead so let's sit down and go through some Irish fairy tales the pooka the pooka could either be your best friend or your worst nightmare depending on their mood that day like a lot of Irish fairies they're said to be a shapeshifter but they often like to take the form of a dark black horse with golden or red glowing eyes if you find yourself lost and a horse like this offers you a ride you should probably politely decline hookahs love to trick humans into wild rides with the sole purpose of terrifying the rider then they dump them off exactly where they pick them up with nothing but a new terrible experience and a long walk home during these wild nights they also love to cause a little domestic chaos as well breaking down fences and ruining crops while they're at it there are all kinds of tales recounting not-so-great encounters with pookas stories like this one passed down from 1813 during a fox hunt a wild black horse with no rider appeared and began tempting the hounds to continue chasing the Fox even as they neared a dangerous Gorge ahead the horse easily leaped across the gorge disappearing into woodlands but the pack of hounds hard on scent of Fox went headlong into pool he wept as most of the pack went under suddenly his sorrow gave way to terror he heard a diabolical name like an animal laughing from woods opposite Brennan knew then that it was puka after a story like that it's pretty hard to find any redeeming qualities in the pooka they do however help out rural farmers from time to time as long as the farmers have made offerings to them of course it said the farmer should leave a few stalks behind during harvest as a puka share in order to appease them and stop any potential mischief from happening on their property some stories even tell the farmers being able to befriend the pooka who then helped the farmers with their crops and helped bring the family happiness and prosperity for the rest of their days so maybe this murderous and destructive prankster is just misunderstood after all either way we'll leave a few years of corn outside the door this year just to be safe d'leh hon sorry Ichabod Crane but Dullahan might have beat you to the punch on this whole Headless Horseman business de la Han carries his all-seeing head around with him as he travels the irish countryside on his devilish horse it's not always just one singular ghoulish horse though often times he's seen traveling on the black coach with as many as six horses in tow just in case that wasn't terrifying enough he also uses a human spine as a whip oh and did we mention that wherever he goes death follows you'll want to avoid eye contact with him at all costs if you look at him he might just use that whip of his to blind you either that or he will throw a bucket of blood all over you neither option really being the greatest but it could be worse though it could be you he's roaming the countryside for if he happens to call out your name well we hope your affairs are in order because death will immediately follow Hanlan's mill fairy urban legends of ireland describes a brief encounter with the Dullahan poor mix heart almost died within him but he said nothing only looked on and the black coach swept away and was soon lost among some distant trees next morning early he was standing at the roadside when he saw Dan Madden coming on to master's best horse down the hill Dan wiping the tears from his eye with the sleeve of his coat who'd have thought that the first thing I'd see this morning was the mistress standing at my bedside and bidding me get up and ride off like fire for dr. Johnson for the master had got a fit and poor Dan's grief choked his voice Oh Mick don't fret too much because even the scariest of the scary have things they're afraid of as it turns out della Han is terrified of gold even in small amounts which is great news for all of us penny-pinchers all you need to do is throw some on the ground and he is coming for you to scare him off your trail needless to say we may need to befriend some leprechauns too our hands on some extra gold the stay prepared banshees why have just one bringer of death when you can have two banshees are another infamous fairy from Ireland that death happens to be pretty close friends with unlike that last guy though banshees are simply warning of an upcoming death rather than bringing it along with them in the tale how Thomas Connelly met the banshee this type of fairy is described as as pale as a corpse and the two eyes sewn with thread from the terrible power of crying they had to do as blue as to forget-me-nots and as cold as the moon in a bog hole of a frosty night and a dead and alive look at them that sent a cold shiver through the marrow of my bones the Banshee is often described this way a woman dressed in white clothing that is usually blood stained with an incredibly pale complexion and all white hair urban legend says that if you hear the ear piercing cry of a banshee you or a relative will die within 24 hours so unlike that Dullahan guy at least the banshee gives you a little bit of time for some final goodbyes to your loved ones changelings as if raising a child isn't hard enough some fairies like to go ahead and throw changelings into the mix fairies are often envious of human children and like to swap out their own fairy children for their human counterparts fairy children aren't the typical bundles of joy that we're all used to know these guys are only ever happy when bad things happen in the household the changeling will screech and yell and take all happiness away from its unknowingly adoptive family some tales say one of the only ways to get your real child back are through extreme methods a tale passed on by Thomas Keatley in 1850 tells the story of two travelers who happened upon a child in the wilderness they brought the child back to his home only to find the mother and a changeling in the home already they're in a rather risky and potentially cruel test they lift the straw underneath the child on fire to get rid of the changeling who fled before being burned to end the matter at once the lads produced the real child healthy and Hardy and they forthwith proceeded to dispose of their new charge for this purpose they got an old Creole to put him in and some straw to light under it seeing the serious turn matters were likely to take he resolved not to await the trial but flew up the smoke hole and went at the top he cried out that things would have gone very differently with them had it not been for the arrival of their guests you don't need to jump straight into homemade witch trials though others have said that loving and caring for the changeling enough to see it become happy and healthy will make their fairy parents jealous and swap them back for your own happy and healthy child so put down the torches and pick up the changeling and you'll likely have your baby back in no time grow gawk we promise not all fairies are so bad though in fact the grow [ __ ] actually sounds like they may be a dream come true these fairies are said to possess the power of invisibility and will only finally reveal themselves to you once they know you are trustworthy once they do it's time to kick up your feet and let them take over some of your household chores they'll scurry around completing The Sluagh urban legend some of your dirty work and they'll do all of this for the simple payment of a jug of cream now let's say our new friend has worn out their welcome which is definitely a possibility as many stories like the one in leprechauns the myths legends and lore have been told over the years in spite of their stupidity the house of screaming skull urban legend grog rocks were extremely good hearted and eager to do good turns indeed they were so eager to please that they invariably became pests about the house they would run about often invisibly trying to do small chores for the woman of the house and would usually end up creating more mess than they cleared well if this is the case all you have to do is invite over your local priest bishop or anyone who is part of the church your new friend turned nuisance will tuck tail and run away as they are terrified of the clergy even if they quickly were out there welcome they'd still be welcomed guests compared to the other fairies we've mentioned after learning more about all of these fairies I think it's safe to say we'll try our best to steer clear of them for now and try and stick to the fairy godmothers we've grown accustomed to if you have another favorite Irish legend let us know down in the comments below a happy st. Patrick's Day and don't forget to carry around some spare gold just in case della Hahn wants to make a quick visit to your neighborhood this year.

Top 10 Elite Families Who Secretly Rule The World

Top 10 Elite Families Who Secretly Rule The World

 money media politics pick two of the  three and you can control the world  three out of three and you rule the  world welcome back to m.a everyone i'm  your host rachel fisher and today we are  discussing some of the richest and most  influential people of all time from old  to new money today we count down our  list of top 10 most powerful families  who secretly rule the world let's get  started number 10 the mars family i want  candy you want candy we all want candy  the mars family owns mars inc which is  and you guessed it the mars bar company  they are one of the world's largest  candy and pet food companies right like  what how do those go together you know  kind of weird the family themselves come  from humble beginnings frank mars  started mars inc way back in 1911 when  he started selling candy from his  kitchen in tacoma washington the malt  flavored nougat we all know and love  wasn't actually made until 1929 when  they came up with the milky way how  exactly they made the transition from  candy to pet food is like beyond me but  that aspect of the biz expanded in 2017.  they acquired the animal hospital  company vca making a 9 billion  investment overall the company is worth  get ready  40 billion dollars in sales what so  they're rich and they own candy well  okay they're really rich and they own  candy for one they can influence anyone  and consider the fact that sugar is  considered an addictive substance and  then also willy wonka right fiction or  non-fiction candy is a big deal imagine  a world without it number nine the  morgans the morgans sound like the  family that lives next door who outdo  everyone when it comes to like holiday  decorations but i'm talking about the jp  morgans who could probably do that and  control the world at the same time the  morgan family is one of the most  influential american families their  dynasty is tied to banking and you have  probably heard the name jp morgan over  like a hundred times in passing at the  turn of the century morgan was the most  influential businessman in america he  was so admired and respected that on the  day of his funeral the stock exchange  remained closed until 12 pm to give you  an idea about how much financial success  he attained he bailed out the us  treasury  twice his ability to do this no doubt  caused great uneasiness among other  people and resulted in the development  of the reserve system in late 1913.  today the morgans still maintain their  political and financial influence not  just in the u.s but also in europe as  their company is there as well so world  connections number eight pritzer  arriving from ukraine late in the 19th  century the pritzer family made everyone  believe that the american dream could be  reality 50 years into their journey as  entrepreneurs they finally started to  invest in real estate that one decision  led to over 900 hotels the family owns  today plus an airline and a cruise line  just for like extra pizzazz ever heard  of the hyatts that's them like many on  this list they are not without shares in  different financial institutions  amplifying their influence after all if  you've got your hands on someone else's  money well you can pretty much do what  you want jb pritzer was the governor of  illinois in 2019 so there's the  political influence and his sister penny  worked as the secretary of commerce in  the obama administration so not only are  they the ninth on the forbes list of  richest families their political  influence is even more obvious their net  worth is over 32.5 billion dollars which  they use to back the presidential  campaigns of obama and hillary clinton  an astounding astounding amount of  wealth which of course has been met with  competition and strife liesel pritzer  simmons once a child actress known for  little princess didn't know this now a  prominent impact investor actually sued  her own father along with her entire  family in 2002. her father and cousins  looted her and her brother's trust funds  so she filed a 6 billion lawsuit  settling with 500 million plus 280  million in cash plus more control over  her trust valued at 170 million so not  quite the six billion she wanted but  still  no complaints i hope no complaints  number seven the house of windsor  whether you consider that in the  figureheads of the monarchy the house of  windsor remains one of the most powerful  families in the world they are the  reigning family monarchy in great  britain and although they may not be the  richest on this list their wealth does  not simply lie in money the windsors  reigned over the entire british empire  which of course included the fruits of  the colonial pursuits of jolly old  england from years past their colonies  protectorates and dominion spread across  the world they were also recognized as  the official monarchy of several  independent countries therefore their  wealth is in many pies as it were along  with the fanfare that follows people are  obsessed with them like the whole meghan  markle thing it's nuts queen elizabeth  ii is the head of the family the church  and the commander-in-chief of great  britain's military troops along with  performing her duties as supreme ruler  of 15 autonomous countries fun fact um  this is a fun fact my grandparents met  her twice at the queen's garden party  and they said hi and she's very queenly  and that was all i really found out  about that but that was cool number six  rockefeller john davidson rockefeller  may have picked up a few tricks from his  dad when he started his american empire  son of a con man rockefeller bought out  several owners of cleveland's largest  oil refinery in 1865. then he just he  just kept going buying out competitors  left right and center which led him to  take over 90 of america's refineries and  pipelines but beneath all that success  were dubious dealings with corporate  spies secret railroad deals bribery  leading the u.s attorney to sue standard  oil after this came to light however the  trial only resulted in the company  breaking off into 34 sub companies and  allowed rockefeller to maintain  ownership by the time john d died his  assets equaled out to 1.5 percent of  america's total economic output that's  more than anybody has ever made today  today the 200 descendants of the  rockefeller family have a net worth of  over 11 billion which is significantly  less than what they had before though  their considerable wealth is not what it  once was their name still carries  immense weight to this day jon's  grandson david rockefeller is the man  who stirred up rumors of conspiracy in  the 1950s due to his highly secretive  meetings his enigmatic behavior added to  fuel to the fire towards the suspicion  that the rockefeller family seeks to  gain or maintain control of the world  number five the house of sod i feel like  if you even have your baby toe dipped in  oil somewhere in the world in a  metaphorical sense of horse you can  control the world it's just it's it's  the most important thing we use it all  the time the house of zod is the royal  family of saudi arabia they like many  powerful families on this list have old  money especially since they are  descendants of the founder of the first  saudi state the king of saudi arabia  reigns with absolute power meaning he  could make anything he want happen at  the snap of his fingers they could start  a war if they wanted to and that they  have they consider the country to be an  asset especially since they reign on  precious crude oil reserves about 20 of  the world's global resources the entire  house of sod has 15 000 members so to be  clear we are specifically talking about  the 2000 members of the inner circle the  actual family under the king of saudi  arabia can get any job they want so long  as it's in the country number four the  bush family yup we mean that one of  course you would expect the families on  this list to have political connections  otherwise how else would you rule the  world their family has made it into the  political offices for over 70 years with  good old g.w bush being the 43rd  president but of course we must discuss  a pretty cd scandal documents finally  declassified in 2003 revealed that  prescott sheldon bush had dealings with  the german army during world war ii the  guardian reported in 2004 that prescott  worked for and profited from companies  closely involved with the german  businesses that finance the man who  rhymes with mittler's rise to power  meaning he could have been prosecuted  for providing air and comfort to the  enemy that killed millions of innocents  additionally this is crazy additionally  he continued his support after it was  revealed what the yahtzees were doing  and you know what i mean by nazis i just  can't say it because youtube censorship  oh i hate it but anyways the documents  even imply that the u.s knew where the  camps were and could have disabled them  long before they were finally discovered  number three rothschild the conspiracies  surrounding this family appeared to me  never ending some of them may be right  after all the possibilities are endless  when you carry that much influence in  your wallet the rothschilds are one of  the most wealthy families in the world  and their legacy goes all the way back  to the 17th century that is the oldest  money i think we have on this list mayor  amsho rothschild established a banking  business back then and became the  personal banker for the german royal  families his five sons then took the  business and expanded it into london  paris frankfurt vienna and naples  british and french war evers have relied  on their funding including the  napoleonic MOST VENOMOUS SNAKES wars in 1803 to 1815. this  family literally had a hand in the  success of war if that's not power then  i don't know what is though their  business remains in control of banking  they also have hands in real estate oil  and construction so basically everything  around us number two the murdocks no  i'm not talking about the canadian  classic everybody watches on a sunday  that's been running forever murdoch  mysteries how are you but same name to  say the media plays a huge role in every  part of our lives is an understatement  even to say that it's at the rate we  consume media on our phones on the  subway on the street tv computer on  headphones you'd have to head to the  alaskan triangle just to get away from  it which is why the murdochs are so damn  powerful the murdochs controls several  broadcasting networks they're reach  stretching across three continents so  needless to say their influence has very  little borders their imperialism began  in australia by a political reporter for  the melbourne papers keith murdoch keith  climbed his way up to editor and after  he figured out how to double the sales  he became ceo his son robert followed in  his footsteps as a reporter and together  they formed the news corporation which  held the power of australia's media in  the palm of their hands but the  corporation now owns 20th century fox  fox news myspace and dow jones plus i  think a few more however there is no  fame without scandal and 2011 the news  corps was prosecuted for illegal phone  tapping of celebrities the royal family  and even bribe police and special units  people thought that maybe i don't know  like maybe this should topple the entire  empire but it didn't it remains standing  and who knows what's happening behind  the scenes and last but not least number  one the waltons and hitting in at number  one on the forbes list of america's  richest families we have the waltons  their net worth being  247 billion dollars fun fact if you were  to start counting to a billion today it  would take you 30 years to complete so  imagine counting to 247 billion dollars  somebody do the math for me down below  in the comments guess what they own  walmart which is the world's largest  retailer by sales however they also own  arvis bank MEXICAN URBAN LEGENDS banks right which operates 16  banks in arkansas oklahoma missouri and  kansas an unfathomable amount of wealth  of this family hoards and it looks like  they want to keep it that way the  waltons have played a lead role in  eliminating the federal estate tax which  would essentially help billionaires  evade estate tax entirely right their  influence also carries over easily into  politics considering the average  election campaign costs 10 million the  waltons could easily make that in under  a day on their business earnings alone  according to bloomberg they can make  around 100 million dollars a day who do  you think gets to dictate the terms when  your candidate needs money on top of  that though they also donate a lot of  money towards education and  environmental initiatives and of course  have their grand share of vintage cars  art and properties apparently it still  sucks to work at walmart though so and  that was our list from today i'm sure  you all have a lot to discuss so be sure  to leave your comments respectfully  below if you like this video show us  some love and be sure to subscribe to  stay up to date we welcome correction as  well if there's anything in here that  you're like i think this needs to be  expanded on do it go for it in the  comments i'm your host rachel fisher

Top 10 Dark Urban Legends Of Celtic Folklore


i have been looking forward to doing this video for so long i love celtic folklore i also may be putting myself at risk by saying some of these names so like make sure to like this video because otherwise i didn't die for nothing hey guys it's rachel fisher and today we are doing our top 10 dark urban legends of celtic folklore i'm excited let's get started number 10 the deer do i always find it fascinating how we can find similar breadcrumbs around the world that depict urban legends of vampires the celtic depiction of the vampire is the deer do and the story behind her is heartbreaking the dear dew once was a breathtaking beautiful woman who had given her love to an innocent farm boy but her father was greedy and arranged her to marry an abusive chieftain for wealth and land no amount of begging could save her from her fate and unfortunately the marriage went through after the wedding day the woman fell into a deep depression not eating or drinking until her body wasted away her lost love visited the grave every single day wishing her to return but come the year anniversary of her death it was revenge that brought her back she went straight to her father's bed and sucked the life from him not yet stated she went of course to her brutal husband and finding him surrounded by women in lustful acts flew into a rage and not only sucked out a soul but drained all the blood from his body every year on the anniversary of her death she rises to seduce young men before devouring their blood so to this day on the anniversary of her death in waterford people place rocks on her grave so she cannot rise from the earth but sometimes if the rocks aren't heavy enough the deer dew escapes seeking to sate her bloodlust number nine the dullahan abdullahan is a foreboding headless horseman who's set to ride during festival days he is said to be one of the most terrifying creatures who resides in the spirit world some consider him the angel of death he rides a jet black stallion and his flowing black cape blazes behind him while he rides but his head does not sit on his shoulders but is held in his hand it is said that his eyes can see for miles at night but the most terrifying thing about him is if you see him if you don't avert your eyes as he rides past you may get struck by a bucket of blood or lose sight in one of your eyes but beware if his steed begins to slow and approach you for if he stops before you and calls your name your soul will be sucked from your body his only weakness is gold so instead of trying to outrun him carry a piece of gold in your pocket to ward him off you know just because everybody has gold i guess number eight speaking of creatures you don't want to encounter at night next up we have the banshee the banshee can appear in many forms so some say she appears as a beautiful woman in a shroud or a headless naked hag holding a bucket of blood but even more terrifying that her appearance is her song the banshee is an omen of death and is said to appear to warn of violent death either of a loved one or for the listener some banshees even do the killing themselves while other legends say they are spirits tied to their loved ones and sing songs of care and concern for the ones about to pass at one time in ireland it was considered blasphemous not to believe in banshees and some older generations still believe to this day real or superstition the urban legend of the banshee is a haunting story of an inescapable fate number seven balor and the evil eye balor was a legendary ancient being who existed long before the tuatha dudunan a race of godlike people with supernatural powers when baylor was a young man he spied on his father and his druids as they performed a spell to lay waste the land vapors from the spell infected his eye enlarging it and granting it the power of death baylor himself was said to be enormous so large in fact that it took four men to lift his eyelid open for use whatever met his gaze would wither and die including grass trees and even turn men to stone but on the same day he was created the druids prophesied he would be killed by his grandson so of course he locked his daughter away but of course someone snuck in had three babies with her and though baylor drowned two of them the third snuck away and finally killed him one day in battle number six the kelpie also known as the nope horse this is the creature grannies warned their grandchildren about to keep them away from the water and no i'm not talking about the australian dog free that's adorable kelpies are horses that linger near rivers and bodies of water that seem harmless at first but if you try and ride them you will stick to them and they will drag you to the depths to consume you like a sticky horse but if horses don't tempt you they also can appear as beautiful women to lure you in with their feminine wiles or they can appear as hairy humanoids that wait in trees and leaf on unsuspecting travelers and smash them depictions of these creatures are absolutely terrifying and i can't even imagine what it would be like to be dragged underwater by a very sticky horse they can also summon up sudden floods and rapids to drown unsuspecting victims however kelpies do have a weak spot if you do find them disguised as horses if you get a hold of their bridle it must serve you giving you the strength and stamina of over 10 horses number 5 carmen if you're keeping track of evil witches make sure to add this woman to your list carmen was an evil witch who terrorized the land along with her four sons darkness evil and violence yeah she placed a vicious blight on the crops of ireland until the gods of tuatha to danan brought their magic against her they drove her sons across the sea and imprisoned her but were tasked with throwing a festival in her name each year otherwise the land would be faced with a blight carmen reportedly died of grief in 600 bce and the festival is held every three years on august 1st number four the fae if you're already a fan of irish folklore then you may already be familiar with imps or the phage and the reasons why we fear them fairy lore i think is the next vampire craze they're mysterious immortal powerful and very sexy what else could you want but you may want to think twice before wandering into the woods hoping for some handsome fae man to take you away probably not a good idea anyone who knows the lore of the fae will warn you not to take them lightly they love to mess with mortals and are notoriously known for stealing babies in the dead of night to replace them with possessed changelings though they could sometimes be friendly they often look for ways to trick you so if you do want to get on their good side here are a few very important rules to follow number one do not call them fairy it is an insult call them good neighbor imp elf or sealy white number two always turn your socks inside out when going for a hike the imps will not be able to lead you astray and make you impossibly lost number three if they offer you food deny it it's a sure way to become trapped in the fairy realm but like if that's what you want and do it though i would expect some torment if you do so probably don't number four never lie to them they will never lie to you but they have a way of twisting words but if you want respect you gotta give respect number five if you accept a gift you must give one greater in return but do not say thank you it means you owe whatever they ask in return and lastly number six carry iron or salt with you to protect against the darker imps anyways there is a couple tips for you but if you do come across one don't brag about it they hate that number three the dark man now i mentioned that some imps are mischievous and even dangerous but there is one being even they fear the dark man he who lurks he who stalks the dark druid even whispering his name invites his attention so let's hope i'm not in trouble here guys some say he is a shadow man with malevolent powers others say he serves the queen of the sid coldly and without remorse claiming anyone she calls for those he took were never heard from again the fact that our good neighbors fear him so much is enough to say that we should too especially considering the story of the taking of a finn's wife the dark man fell in love with a beautiful woman who spurned his love so of course he cursed her by turning her into a fawn the only way she could be released was if she found her true love and that she did once she entered the house of the wise finn mccool she was safe for years they lived together until finn went off to battle when he returned home he discovered that she'd be deceived and taken by the dark druid who appeared in his likeness finn never saw her again number 2 the avertalk some may know vlad the impaler as the main inspiration for the character of dracula but considering bram stroker's irish heritage the origins of this famous villain may have been closer to home the irish king avertak ruled between gut dun given and garva and was abhorred by his people but despite his awful reputation his name isn't that intimidating it's actually an old irish name that means deaf fellow and many believe he was also a man of small statures some say he was a dwarf others say that he just lost his legs in an accident so he was shorter he was an evil and cruel wizard hated and feared by his clans he was also insanely jealous and suspected his wife of having an affair so one night he slipped out a window and tried to peer into her room to catch from the act but instead he slipped and fell to his death yay i guess the people relieved to see his demise buried him right away standing upright in the ground as for his kingliness he needed to be sitting upright in the ground which was tradition but the next morning he appeared demanding bowls of blood from his people freshly poured from their wrists the people begged a neighboring chieftain to save them and he tried to kill him not once but three times yet still he would appear the next morning demanding blood the chieftain sought the advice from a neighboring saint and this time when he killed him he buried him upside down stabbed him in the heart with a steak from the yew tree piled ash wood on top of him and placed atop the grave a heavy stone slab you can still visit the grave to this day but locals still fear the sight and some have even had very eerie experiences number one the slua there's one night a year that you should fear the slua spirits of death who show no mercy to whoever crosses their path the only way to dissuade them from taking your soul is if you offer up another soul in return you may know this night as halloween but those who

Top 10 Cursed Objects That Are Pure Evil


cpower of being able to talk your way out of any situation which would be incredibly useful but there are always those who try to indulge in too much of a good thing the issues start when you attempt to take a piece of the stone no matter how small away from its home those who don't follow the rules and take the stone end up being cursed with bad luck every year the castle receives Parcels from greedy tourists who tried their luck at stealing portions of the stone these Parcels are returned with the intention of lifting the curse of Misfortune it is said that once the stone is returned the curse will be lifted which is most definitely good news I guess the moral of this curse however is to not be greedy and just follow the rules starting off this list in our number 10 spot we have the crying children paintings these paintings were a series created by an Italian painter who is known as Giovanni but his real name was Bruno Amarillo Bruno was born in Venice in 1911 and fought in World War II which ended up being the inspiration for a lot of his paintings during his time in the war he saw a lot of suffering children and this is where he got the idea for the series of crying children paintings after the paintings were sold there began to be reports of fires and all of the places where the paintings were held while this could have just been a strange coincidence the weirdest part is that the paintings always remained intact while everything else around them was burned this quickly became the most talked about thing and was on the front of every newspaper and the paintings quickly gained the nickname Diablo it caused these paintings to end up being replicated and mass-produced but none of the replicas hold quite the same power as the originals in our number nine spot today we have the Blarney Stone for hundreds of years the Blarney Stone has resided within Blarney Castle which is near Cork Ireland this stone is a piece of limestone and Legend says that those who give the stone a smooch will then be given the gift of the gab this little smooch can bestow the power of being able to talk your way out of any situation which would be incredibly useful but there are always those who try to indulge in too much of a good thing the issues start when you attempt to take a piece of the stone no matter how small away from its home those who don't follow the rules and take the stone end up being cursed with bad luck every year the castle receives Parcels from greedy tourists who tread their luck at stealing portions of the stone these Parcels are returned with the intention of lifting the curse of Misfortune it is said that once the stone is returned the curse will be lifted which is most definitely good news I guess the moral of this curse however is to not be greedient to just follow the rules in our number eight spot today we have the screaming skull the screaming skull resides in the Burton Agnes Hall in England and it is thought to have belonged to Catherine Ann Griffith they said that Catherine was the youngest in the family and she was the one who enjoyed wandering around the property the most one day While She Was Out strolling around she ended up being surrounded by a group of robbers who took all of her possessions and then vicious harmed her and left her for dead she was found and brought back to the hall to be tended to but unfortunately a few days later she succumbed to her injuries before she died she was upset about the thought of leaving her family so she asked them to remove her head after death and keep her skull so that they would always have a piece of her around the family agreed to her face but after her passing they buried her body head still intact because to be fair it was an odd request after her burial the family began experiencing some extremely strange things around the house like bumps and moans and horrible blood curdling screams that they could not find the source of this is when they decided to follow through with the request Catherine had left them and the strange occurrences suddenly stopped after this at one point a maid had found the skull and in her surprise she threw it out of a nearby open window and alas the strange occurrences began again in the end it was decided that the best policy was to place the skull in a secret spot within the walls of the house probably behind some paneling in the Great Hall so that its presence could be be easily ignored and so that Catherine's Spirit could reside in peace in her beloved home I guess the lesson of this one is to follow the wishes of those who have passed because you never know if their spirit is gonna stay lingering around afterwards in our number seven spot today we have the haunted doll there's quite a few haunted dolls kicking around out there apparently but this one doesn't exactly have a name the doll's owners say that this doll is possessed and causes lots of troubles at night the incredibly creepy thing about this one is that it is said that you don't need to do anything in order for this doll to decide it wants to haunt you you just simply need to be around it and that is more than enough for the torment to start owners of the doll have reported getting a bunch of strange scratches which they believe are because of the doll it isn't exactly clear where the spirit or spirits that reside in this doll have come from or what happened but the doll was bought from its previous owners by a woman named Deborah Davies who is a psychic Deborah reported the same scratches as the previous owners but she also may have been able to contact this beer residing in the doll she claimed that the spirit was that of a young girl who had her life taken from her but she also reported that the nasty evil energy within the doll is a male and she believes that this energy is that of the man who took the life of the girl at the end of the day whatever is haunting this doll is certainly a spirit I would like to stay far far away from in our number six spot today we have the ballista balls a Ballista was used in the Roman military and it was kind of similar to a crossbow but much larger and it could shoot arrows or stones in 1989 there were archaeologists that were working by the Israeli Syrian border when they found these large Stones close to what seemed to be the remains of a Ballista but around 1995 the stones ended up getting stolen and it took a while for anyone to notice fast forward to 2015 and the same stones that were stolen ended up in the courtyard of a museum in Israel with a note left from the person who stole them the note explained that ever since they took them he had experienced terrible luck and believed the stones were reason he had a very successful business that suddenly began to fail after he took the stones and later his family abandoned him and he was forced to get rid of almost all of his possessions to settle all of his debts so as to not go bankrupt he mentioned that he believed the stones were cursed and that they were the root of all of his problems whether or not these stones are actually cursed or if this was just some pretty heavy Karma I hope this guy has been able to get his life back on track in our number 5 spot today we have the golden eagle this car was a 1964 Dodge 330 limited edition and it has been blamed for the death of around 14 people which is 14 too many if you ask me it was said that this car started out as a police car originally but then there were three officers assigned to this car who all ended up taking their lives and other people's lives in horribly violent ways not in the car but still super weird that this all seemed to happen after they had been using the car for work because of this strange correlation it ended up being sold off to another man throughout the 80s and 90s it was said that because of the rumored cursed car it became a point of interest for vandals people began vandalizing the car only to meet their own untimely Fates which were all met in strange ways for example it was said that one Vandal died from being struck by lightning and another ended up being decapitated by an 18-wheeler it is said that the curse is so strong that one kid decided to merely touch the car and it sent him into madness as he went on to commit atrocious crimes that I can't even detail here on YouTube the card now belongs to Wendy Allen who supposedly collects and decorates haunted cars for a living so it seems as though it's finally found its home far far far away from everyone else in our number four spot today we have the Myrtles Plantation mirror Myrtle's plantation is located in Saint Francisville Louisiana and it is said to be one of the most haunted places in the entire world one of the reasons for this spooky reputation is because of a mirror that resides inside it is said that this mirror holds the spirit of Sarah Woodruff and her two children Legend goes that woman named Chloe was a slave at the plantation who drew up a plan to get revenge on the owners of the plantation Sarah and her husband Chloe baked a cake full of poison for them but it ended up only being Sarah and two of her children who consumed the poisonous cake when they passed away it is said that their Spirits went into the only mirror that was uncovered at the time thus the haunted mirror was born people who have since visited the plantation have claimed to see the family in the reflection as well as the handprints of small children on the glass despite continuous polishing in our number three spot today we have the Surrey ghost car on December 11th of 2002 A call came into the Surrey Police Department the caller reported that they had just seen a car lose control and run off the road and then presumably crash it was of course an emergency call but not necessarily anything out of the ordinary that was until authorities got to the location and realized that they couldn't find any kind of evidence of a crash they kept searching and ended up finding a maroon colored car that was nosed down in a ditch nearby but this car was covered in so much on undergrowth that it must have been here for months this meant that somehow this crash went undetected for five months and worst of all so did the body that lay nearby using dental records they were able to identify the body as a man who had been wanted for robbery since July of that year it is said that the sighting of the car leaving the road was a ghostly replay of the events that had taken place five months prior what do you guys think let me know Down Below in the comments if you think the witness saw a cursed reenactment of the fatal crash or if you think something else is at play here in our number two spot today we have the destiny ring Rudolph Valentino was an incredibly famous silent film star before he passed away at the incredibly young age of just 31 years old and there are many out there who believe his untimely death was caused by the destiny ring this ring was one that he picked up from a California Jeweler before purchasing it there were warnings of the stories which claimed this ring was cursed but Rudolph decided to go ahead with the purchase anyway it is said that after this ring came into his possession his luck began to turn term the movies he starred in started to do poorly some even flopping and his career began to struggle from there he felt incredibly ill and when he passed away he was wearing this cursed ring from there after his death his lover ended up receiving the ring but once it was in her possession she too felt extremely ill and decided to give the ring away all the owners after that were reported to have died in strange ways or under mysterious circumstances which has led the ring to now being placed in a bank vault all locked up so that it hopefully can never cause harm to anyone ever again in our number one spot today we have Letta the doll why do all the cursed dolls look like they would be cursed you know what I mean like there's no cursed doll out there that is surprisingly cursed they all look creepy to begin with anyway Letta is a doll that is said to be around 200 years old and extremely cursed this doll is called Letta for short as its full name is letting me out of here really clever the doll was originally found underneath a house which definitely feels like the origins story of a haunted doll This creepy Discovery came 47 years ago and apparently let us still lives with the man who found him the hauntings of Letta include things like the doll walking around on its own at night the owners finding objects around the house that have been moved into odd places some people have seen let him move right in front of their own eyes and the owner also reports finding little doll-sized scuff marks around the house as well it is said that this doll once belonged to a child who passed away while holding it thus their Spirit became trapped inside of the doll Apparently one day in an interview about Letta as the interviewer was asking questions about the little boy the doll began to move in her lap yeah no thank you let it has his own Instagram and Facebook page in case you want to hear more about all the creepiness surrounding this cursed doll kicking off this list in her number 10 spot we have the crying children paintings these paintings were a series created by an Italian painter who is known as Giovanni braglan but his real name was Bruno Amarillo Bruno was born in Venice in 11 and fought in World War II which ended up being the inspiration for a lot of his paintings during his time in the war he saw a lot of suffering children and this is where he got the idea for the series of the crying children paintings after the paintings were sold there began to be reports of fires in all of the places where the paintings were held while this could have just been a strange coincidence the weirdest part is that the paintings always remained intact while everything else around them was burned this quickly became the most talked about thing and was on the front of every newspaper and the paintings quickly gained to the nickname Diablo it caused these paintings to end up being replicated and mass-produced but none of the replicas hold quite the same Powers as The Originals moving on to number nine we have the stoop chair that once belonged to Thomas Busby Thomas was a man who lived in thirsk North Yorkshire and wasn't known as a very nice man but he really loved his chair in 1702 he found his father-in-law sitting in it and it sparked in argument between the two the father-in-law threatened to take his daughter back and that's when Busby kicked him out of the house after this Busby ended up going over to the father-in-law's house and actually kills him with a hammer and then hid the body in the woods of course the body ended up being found and this led to Busby getting convicted and sentenced to death it is said that on his ride to his execution he asked to stop by his favorite Pub for a beer and this request was fulfilled apparently as he finished his drink he said May sudden death come to anyone who dare sit in my chair I really don't know what it is with this guy in his chair but while it currently resides in The Thirst Museum it has been recorded that many terrible Fates have been met by the people who have sat in the chair in 1972 it was decided to hang the chair from the ceiling so that no one could sit in it again which is probably for the best would you have sat in the chair if you had the chance moving on to number eight we have the anguished man while it is unknown who and when it was created this painting is set to carry some kind of curse it is rumored that whoever created it mixed his blood in with the oil paint and when it was finished being created he ended up committing inside when a woman who is referred to as Mrs Robinson originally took possession of the painting after it was given to her by a family friend she immediately knew that something was wrong with it she ended up passing it along to her grandson Sean Who currently still owns the painting The Robinson family has reported many different strange events that have happened in relation to the painting such as hearing screams and groans coming from it Sean has even uploaded videos to YouTube where he shows these paranormal events I'm not sure why the family has decided to keep the painting but I guess as long as it's not hurting anyone it's okay continuing on to number seven we have the real life Annabelle doll when I saw the 2014 Annabelle movie I had no idea it was actually based on a real life doll the doll now resides inside of Warren's occult Museum where it absolutely belongs there was a college student named Donna who received the doll as a gift from her mother who had purchased it from an antique store Donna and her roommate started to notice some pretty creepy things happening and swore that the doll was moving they said it would appear in different places and positions throughout their apartment before things began to escalate Donna began to find notes that said help in her apartment and one night found the doll in a different position and covered in some sort of red substance the girls then decided to contact a medium who solidified all of their beliefs and told them that the doll had been possessed by the spirit of someone who was killed in their apartment building for some reason the girls didn't immediately get rid of the doll and The Story Goes that their friend Lou Who was at the girl's apartment heard strange noises one night and went to investigate and he was then attacked and killed by Annabelle the girls finally contacted a priest who told them that the doll was possessed by a demon Straight From Hell and then put them in contact with Ed and Lorraine Warren who are paranormal investigators they tried to do an exorcism on the doll but it apparently failed and now it is kept in a glass box in the museum I didn't know that a glass box is the safest place for a paranormal item but as long as it isn't hurting anyone that's the important thing moving on to number six we have the ballista balls a Ballista was used in the Roman military and it was kind of similar to a crossbow but much larger and could shoot arrows and stones in 1989 there were some archaeologists that were working by the Israeli Syrian border when they found these large Stones close to what seemed to be the remains of a Ballista but around 1995 the stones ended up getting stolen but it took a while for anyone to notice fast forward to 2015 and the same stones that were stolen ended up in the courtyard of the museum in Israel with a note left from the person who stole them the note explained that ever since they took them he had experienced terrible luck and believed the stones were the reason he had a very successful business that suddenly began to fail after he took the stones and later his family abandoned him and he was forced to get rid of almost all all of his possessions to settle all of his debts so as to not go bankrupt he mentioned that he believed the stones were cursed and that they were the root of all of his problems whether or not these stones are actually cursed or this was just some pretty heavy Karma I hope this guy has been able to get his life back on track halfway down the list in our number five spot we have the goddess of death statue who is also known as the woman from the Lem this artifact made out of limestone was created sometime around 3500 BC and was found in Cyprus in 1878. over the years it has belonged to many different families who all have been ruined and dismantled by death after the first six years of ownership all seven members of The First Family died it then moved on to a second owner and after four years death began to come to him and his family there was then a long period where it was unclaimed but once the third family got a hold of it several members of that family began to die as well the third family ended up turning it over to the Royal Scottish Museum where it's thankfully still resides moving on to number four we have the Hope Diamond the Hope Diamond was most likely cut from a mine in India and placed in a statue it is a huge 45 carats and has a beautiful rare blue color it is one of the most famous diamonds in the world partially for its beauty but also because of all of the mysterious happenings surrounding it one day a thief stole the diamond and is said to have died quite soon after from then on anyone who owned or even touched the diamond was said to have met an ill fate whether it was side a massacre or a pack of wild dogs the diamond seemed to have placed a curse on any and everyone who got near it in 1958 it was fortunately donated to the Smithsonian and has been safe there ever since I wonder if it got moved from the museum if the curse would continue moving on to number three we have the dibbuk box the box which was originally just a plain old wine box is said to have been possessed by a dibbuk which in Jewish mythology is a malicious demon the Box began to gain attention in 2001 when it was being auctioned off on eBay the seller explained that he had bought it at an estate sale of a woman who had survived the Holocaust when he first opened the book he found two 1920s pennies a lock of blonde hair bound with a cord a lock of black or brown hair bound with a cord a small statue engraved with the Hebrew word Shalom a small golden wine goblet one dried Rosebud and a single candle holder with four octopus shaped legs since he bought the box he reported that strange things began happening such as really horrific nightmares for him and anyone who had stayed around or touched the box and when he gave the box to his mother as a birthday gift she suffered a stroke the same day the Box ended up in the hands of Zach Bagan who is a Paranormal Investigator and it now resides in his haunted Museum the box also gained even more attention in 2018 when post Malone touched it and has apparently been dealing with the repercussions of that ever since coming on to number two we have the dark mirror the dark mirror now belongs to the traveling Muse Museum of the occult who got it from The Mirror's original owner the mirror is said to show some pretty unsettling images when you stare into it the original owner said that they purchased it from a psychic fair in the Columbus area and were shocked with the Visions they saw when looking into the glass visitors to the traveling Museum have claimed to see some pretty crazy things such as their own corpse when they gaze into the mirror it's pretty creepy stuff in our number one spot today we have the cursed portrait of Spanish military leader Bernardo de Galvez Bernardo was born in Spain in 1746 and died under strange circumstances in 1786 and was famous for helping American colonies in the war of independence the painting is on display at the Galvis hotel in Galveston Texas which is said to be one of the most haunted hotels in part because of this portrait the portrait is at the end of a hallway in the hotel and guests have reported the eyes following their every move people also report a cold or uncomfortable feeling when they get close to the painting and and this is said to be bernardo's Spirit some people even swear they can feel him following them around the hotel it is also said that any picture you try and take of the portrait will come out blurry and distorted unless you ask Bernardo for permission foreign.
