- The Cursed Mirror
Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana, United States, is claimed to be one of the world’s most haunted locales. However, the most eerie item in the house is a mirror. Locals claim that the mirror is cursed and has the spirits of Sara Woodruff and her two children who were poisoned by their slave Chloe trapped inside it.
- Baker’s Wedding Dress
The wedding attire of Anna Baker, who fell in love with an ironworker, can be found inside the Baker estate in Altoona, Pennsylvania. According to legend, Anna escaped from her house to marry her sweetheart, but her father forced her to return and confined her in the bedroom. She therefore refused to marry anybody else, living the remainder of her life alone. After Anna’s death, members of the Baker family reported seeing her bridal dress in various locations about the house. Some of them even saw Anna Baker’s soul roaming around the house in the same wedding outfit.
- Annabelle doll
This doll was discovered in 1970, when a mother purchased it from an antique shop as a birthday gift for her daughter. The family soon began to observe unusual occurrences happening inside the house in relation to the doll. The family then enlisted the services of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who discovered that the doll contains the ghost of Annabelle Higgins, a 7-year-old child who was brutally murdered. The doll is currently on display at the Occult Museum in Connecticut.
- Screaming Skull
The Burton Agnes Hall in Burton Agnes, England is home to a scary paranormal object nicknamed the screaming skull. The wailing skull is thought to be that of Katherine Anne Griffith, who died in the same house in 1620 after being attacked by bullies. Every night, a scary ghost roams around the skull, creating a lot of noise and scaring everyone who tries to remove it.
- ‘The Hand Resist Him’ Painting
The ‘Hand Resist Him’ artwork by Bill Stoneham is one of the most haunting works of art. According to the artist, this artwork depicts the doorway that connects our world to the world of spirits. The painting’s owners allege that the characters shift or disappear during the night.
- Bulgarian Telephone Number
The Bulgarian phone number +359 888 888 888 was in use for ten years before being terminated. The reason for deactivating the number was the death of the three people who used it. All of the owners of this number died soon after having it registered in their name. The first owner died of cancer, while the other two were shot down for no apparent reason.
- Letta The Gypsy Doll
According to residents, a Romanian guy created a doll for his son Letta. Unfortunately, the youngster perished while playing with the doll, and his spirit became stuck inside. The man decided to give the doll to the son of one of his employees. The boy claimed that the doll spoke to him, while other owners said that holding or being near the doll leads them to cry uncontrollably.
- Belcourt Castle Chairs
This historic summer home in Rhode Island features a ballroom with haunting chairs.

Others have described being forced down from their chairs by an unseen force.
- Terracotta Army
The Terracotta Army in Shaanxi, China, is a unique collection of 2,200 pieces of funerary art that is considered one of the most enormous archeological discoveries of modern times. However, it is nothing more than a source of ill luck for the seven farmers who discovered it in 1974. Soon after the discovery, the government claimed their farms and razed their dwellings to make place for exhibition halls and gift shops.
- Hope Diamond
The Hope diamond is another cursed object that must be kept out of humans’ reach. This remarkable jewel is an extremely enormous size with a soothing blue color and is valued $250 million. However, the diamond is thought to be cursed since the 17th century, bringing immense sorrow and unhappiness to its bearer. According to folklore, a French dealer plucked the gem from one of a Hindu idol’s eyes in 1653, and anyone who holds this 115-carat blue diamond is cursed.
