The 10 most haunted objects in the world

Cape Town – The possessed doll that frightened audiences worldwide when she made her debut in The Conjuring served as the idea for the forthcoming Annabelle movie from forthcoming Line.

However, Annabelle is not the only demonic object that terrorizes people who come into contact with it. Household items that appear to be inhabited by supernatural beings have been reported throughout history.

Here are the 10 most haunted objects in the world:

1. The Myrtles Plantation Mirror

This antebellum mansion in St. Francisville, Louisiana, is renowned as one of America’s most haunted mansions and is thought to have been the scene of up to ten murders. It also has an eerie mirror. The mirror, bought by the current owners some three or four decades ago, is supposed to hold the ghosts of Sara Woodruff and her children, the house’s original mistress. Mirrors must be covered according to tradition so that the deceased’s soul doesn’t become trapped in the mirror and fail to ascend to paradise. Evidently, the grieving broke with convention after Sara passed away. Visitors to Myrtles Plantation have recently reported seeing handprints appear in the mirror and extensive drip marks that are impossible to wipe.

2. “The Hands Resist Him”

A frightening girl doll with a suspiciously ventriloquist smile and jointed limbs is next to a morose kid with blind eyes as they both stand in front of a door. Several sets of immature hands are pressed on the door’s glass behind them. The Bill Stoneham painting “The Hands Resist Him” is regarded as one of the most haunting pieces of art ever created. A California couple listed the unsettling image for sale on an internet auction site in 2000 with a disclaimer for prospective buyers. The figures in the painting appeared to move or vanish at dusk, or the strange-looking youngster would reportedly actually enter the room where the picture was hanging. People who looked at the painting expressed complaints about feeling ill, weak, or as though someone was grasping them from behind. Stoneham claims that the artwork is based on a snapshot of himself when he was five years old. The doorway represents a boundary between worlds. He uses the doll as a guide to navigate this world while he is awake and while he is dreaming. “Other lives” are symbolized by the hands. Despite being perplexed by the numerous paranormal theories surrounding the painting, Stoneham did admit that the proprietor of the first gallery to exhibit “The Hands Resist Him” and the art critic who wrote a review of it both passed away within a year of first viewing the work.

3. Thomas Busby’s Chair

Daniel Awety was killed by Thomas Busby in the summer of 1702 after he discovered Awety seated in Busby’s favorite oak chair. After being detained, tried, and given the death penalty at Thirsky, England, Busby’s final request was to stop at his favorite bar and sip ale in his favorite chair. The chair stayed in the tavern for centuries, and apparently everybody who sat in it eventually perished from some invisible disaster. When he finished his drink, he said, “May sudden death come to anyone who dare sit in my chair.” No one is allowed to sit on the chair, not even accidently, as it has been suspended from the ceiling of the Thirsk Museum in North Yorkshire, England, since 1972.

5. The Basano Vase

For the interior decorator with a penchant for the macabre, the Basana vase would make an excellent addition to Thomas busby’s killer chair. Made in the 15th century for an Italian bridal party on their wedding night, this vase was carried down the aisle by the bride, who died that night holding the vase in her arms as she vowed revenge. All the family members who inherited it died as well. The last owners were so eager to get rid of the vase that they tossed it out of the window, where the vase smashed into a police officer’s head, causing the officer’s death. The family then refused to return the vase. It’s unclear whether or not this vase was buried in holy ground, but in 1988 it was unearthed with an inscription written inside: “Be careful, this vase bring death.” The vase then went into a lead coffin, where it is believed to have been reburied. The pharmacist who owned it died three months after purchasing it, along with the 37 year old surgeon who then took possession of the vase.

6. The Dibbuk Box

The term ‘Dibbuk’ is derived from Jewish folklore and refers to a wine cabinet that is said to be haunted by an evil spirit. An antique dealer in Portland Oregon, in 2001, went to an estate sale for the box. The woman was 103 years old, the only survivor of her family in the Holocaust. The box was one of her possessions. “Her granddaughter told me that her grandmother always hid the box because it had a malevolent ghost inside,” the dealer said. “The doors and gates in my art studio were locked by themselves, and the air in my studio started to smell.” When the dealer gave the box as a gift to his mother, she suffered a massive stroke. She was in the hospital crying uncontrollably and spelled out the word “Dibbuk!” In a fit of panic, the dealer listed the box online with a story about its terrible history. Jason Haxton, a museum curator, bought the box and wrote a history book about it.

7. The Woman from Lemb

This pure limestone statue dates back to 3500 BC and was discovered in 1878 at Lemb in Cyprus. It’s believed to represent a fertility goddess, but instead of bringing life to the beholder, it’s said to bring death to anyone who comes into contact with it.

According to legend, the bad luck started with the first owner of the statue, a man named Lord Elphonte. Within six years of owning the idol, seven of his family members are said to have died in mysterious circumstances. Other owners of the statue also lost their loved ones. Eventually, the owner of the idol decided to donate it to Scotland’s Royal Scottish Museum, where it’s now kept under glass under the name of the “Goddess Of Death.”

8. The Chairs of Belcourt Castle

Belcourt Castle, in Newport, Rhode Island, isn’t haunted by the ghost of its former owner Oliver Hazard, Harry Belmont. It’s haunted by antiques. Belcourt’s gothic ballroom features a collection of “hostile” chairs. People who sit in these chairs say they feel resistance, and some even push people out of the chairs. If hostile chairs aren’t scary enough, there’s the screaming suit of armour, the original owner of which was killed by a spear that punctured its eye slit. There’s also the ghost of a monk in a brown robe. Photos taken before Belcourt curators banned photography showed many spirit orbs in the rooms.

9. Annabelle

For her daughter Donna, a nursing student in Hartford, Connecticut, a woman bought a Raggedy Ann doll in 1970 from a thrift shop. Soon after, Donna and Angie discovered the doll standing and kneeling by itself, with what appeared to be fresh blood droplets on the doll’s body. After consulting a medium in response to an increase in unexplained occurrences, Donna learned that the doll was actually haunted by the spirit of a young girl named Annabelle. However, as a result of Annabelle’s increasingly risky behavior, Donna was forced to contact paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who confirmed that a demon, not a young girl, was in control of Donna’s doll. In Lorraine Warren’s basement museum of cursed objects, where she is blessed twice a month by a priest, Annabelle still resides in a locked box.

10. The Kohinoor Diamond

The Kohinoor (“Mountain of Light”) Diamond, which is said to have been taken from the Hindu god Krishna, weighs an impressive 109 carats and is extremely expensive for a man to own. A Hindu text from 1306 contains the following proverb: “He who owns the diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God, or a woman, can wear it with impunity.”

Legend has it that the kings who have owned the KohiNoor diamond have led bloody, violent, and torturous lives. Since Queen Victoria’s time, the Kohinoor has been in the possession of the British Royal Family. The Royals have always left the Diamond to the male heir to the British throne out of fear of the fabled curse.
