All over the world, there are stories of haunted houses, objects, dolls and cars. Some Hollywood movies are based on some of these real stories. But in this post, we are listing top five cursed and haunted car stories. They are:

5. Archduke Franz Graf & Stift Death Limo (Austria)

Durung World War I, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were shot by a Bosnian anarchist. The crazy thing is, Ferdinand had already avoided an attempt on his life that day, and was actually on his way to the hospital to comfort those who had been injured in the crossfire. One of the would-be assassins simply walked out of a cafe and saw his intended target sitting in front of him where the open-air limo had stalled. The archduke and his wife were shot through their heads and throats. Their deaths would not be the last caused by the limo.

Throughout the war and into the 1920s, the limo was owned by fifteen different people and involved in six accidents and thirteen deaths, not counting the 17 million or so killed in the war triggered by the Archduke’s assassination. The first person to own the car after the Archduke was an Austrian general named Potiorek, who went insane while riding in the car through Vienna.[/b]

[b[It took four car accidents and the loss of an arm to convince its next owner, a governor of (former) Yugoslavia, that the car was bad luck.[/b] He sold it to a surgeon friend who died six months later in a crash. Next, a captain in the German army died while trying to avoid two pedestrians. All three were killed. Car accidents and suicides would go on to claim several more lives until 1926, when it ended up in the War History Museum of Vienna.


4. Surrey, England’s Ghost Crash (England)

Crashes are common on Britain’s A3 highway, so when police received multiple calls on December 11, 2002 about a set of headlights veering off the road, they rushed to the scene fearing the worst. When they arrived however, no crash was evident. Undeterred, police continued to search the scene until they stumbled upon a wrecked maroon Vauxhall Astra(Also Opel Astra), nose-down in a ditch, covered in undergrowth, with a decomposing human body inside.
The car had left the road and ended up in the ravine. Police estimated the young man crashed five months earlier and could find no evidence that any other car had been involved. It could be that the soul of this departed motorist drawing attention to his final resting place with ghostly headlights.


3. The Jumping Car Of Cape Town (South Africa)

On a sultry night in South Africa in 2004, a Renault Megane turned itself on and began jumping backwards, all on its own. This car is remarkable because there were multiple witnesses and news reports. Nine people, including two police officers, apparently heard the Megane’s engine start before it “jumped” backwards twice uphill. The technical coordinator of Renault in Cape Town was very suspicious of the story at the time, and even suggested the owners were drunk. The car apparently roared to life on its own, despite having no keys in the ignition and the parking brake engaged. Renault later blamed the car’s odd behavior on a rusty starter cable, which could have caused the car to short circuit and start on its own. The company couldn’t explain the revving engine. What was revving the car?


2. John F. Kennedy’s Limousine SS-100-X (United States Of America)

This car is said to be haunted by a former president, that is corroborated by that employees of the Henry Ford museum in Detroit, USA, to see “a gray presence” at the back passenger side seat. The SS-100-X was the Secret Service name given to President John F. Kennedy’s navy blue 1961 Lincoln 74A Convertible . The Lincoln featured $200,000 worth of modifications, but, no bulletproofing. There were several domes that fit over the top of the convertible, but all made the cabin extremely hot, without adding any real protection.

It was in this Lincoln that Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, the Texas governor and his wife sat in on November 22, 1963, when three shots fired by Lee Harvey Oswald from a book depository ended the President’s life.
Oddly, the Lincoln was kept in service another eight years after Kennedy’s death. A company called Hess & Eisenhardt added reinforcements and safety measures that were missing when Kennedy rode in the car. The Lincoln was outfitted with titanium armor plating, bullet-resistant glass, and a permanent bulletproof roof. It was also painted black by incoming President Lyndon Johnson, who thought the original navy blue paint would be too reminiscent of the assassination. In 1967 the presidential limo was replaced, but the 1961 Lincoln was kept in the fleet for less important duties, until it retired to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI, in 1978. The car is still on display there and is rumored to be haunted. An apparition dressed in grey has been seen standing near the car, especially in late November.


1. Actor James Dean’s Porsche 500 Spyder, “Little Bastard” (USA)

This is one of the most famous and well-documented cases of spooky cars. Actor James Dean, an actor in the 1950s, loved racing, and his love ultimately caused his death. In a horrific accident on his way to a race in Salinas, California, Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder lost control and flipped into a gully, killing Dean and severely injuring his passenger. The car dubbed “Little Bastard” by the actor would be nothing but bad luck after Dean’s death.

Dean’s friend and famous car customizer George Barris took the remains of the Spyder and sold parts out to other drivers. Barris sold the engine and drivetrain to two doctors who entered cars carrying the parts in the same race in Pomona, CA. During the race both crashed horribly, and one of the doctors was killed.

Barris eventually began to believe in the curse and gave the car to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). They attempted to display Dean’s car as a warning to careless drivers, but more bad luck followed. The first place it was displayed was a garage, which promptly burned down, leaving only Little Bastard standing in the burning debris.
On its way to a high school, Little Bastard broke free from the truck hauling it and cause another fatal accident. CHP moved it to a stand at yet another high school, where the car fell and broke a student’s hip. While in transit, the Spyder fell off of its trailer a total of three times, crushing a truck driver. The car also injured two thieves who tried to steal the steering wheel and bloodstained seats.

Finally, the CHP had had enough of Little Bastard and attempted to return the wreckage to Barris, but it vanished mysteriously of the back of a flatbed truck en-route and hasn’t been seen since then till date.
