10. Leopold II of Belgium

Its impressive that from such a small
country could come such a colossal
tyrant. Deciding that his country wasn’t
big enough Leopold did what any leader
would do and went to Africa…to start
his own. In what is present day
Democratic Republic of the Congo, he
managed to enslave, torture, and kill
over 3 million people just so he could
sell some ivory.

9. Osama bin Laden
As the face of modern terrorism and the founder of al-Qaeda he lived a good portion of his life with a $25 million dollar bounty placed on his head by the FBI. In spite of that, he managed to evade capture for the better part of three presidential administrations before tasting American steel.

8. Dr. H. H. Holmes
One of the first documented serial killers in American history, he built a hotel specifically for the purpose of killing his guests. Located less than 2 miles from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, he would lure guests to “Murder Castle” where he had rigged all of the bedrooms with gas lines, soundproofing, lime pits, etc.. He would then proceed to torture and kill them, ultimately dissecting their bodies and selling the pieces to medical schools.

7. Vlad the Impaler
You know you belong on this list when you are the sole inspiration for the most famous vampire novel of all time – Dracula. And to give you an idea of why, here is a list of some of his favorite pastimes: nails in heads, cutting off of limbs, blinding, strangulation, burning, cutting off of noses and ears, mutilation of sexual organs (especially in the case of women), scalping, skinning, exposure to the elements or to animals, and boiling alive

6. Pol Pot

The leader of the Khmer Rouge and Prime Minister of Cambodia in the 1970s, he actually managed to relocate the entire population of Cambodia onto farms where they slaved away planting seeds that would grow into food that no one would be allowed to eat. And this is why we study economics…so that unlike our pal Pol Pot, we don’t starve one- third of our population to death. But that’s not all, Pot and the Khmer Rouge were also responsible for mass executions in places known as Killing Fields. And although no one can be certain of the death toll, it has been said that in order to save ammunition, the executions were often carried out using spades, axes, hammers, and sharpened bamboo sticks.

5. Elizabeth Bathory

A Hungarian countess from the 1500’s
who has been labeled the “most prolific
female serial killer in history” and has
come to be known as the “Blood
Countess” or “Blood Queen”. We
believe those to be appropriate
titles for someone alleged to bathe in
the blood of virgins in order to maintain
their youth. According to court records,
Elizabeth and several accomplices would
lure young girls to their lair and then
proceed to beat them, burn them, bite
the flesh of their faces, freeze them,
perform surgery on them, starve them,
and abuse them sexually.

4. Adolf Hitler
Ruining the lives of tens of millions of people, being responsible for more deaths than anybody else in history, and destroying an entire continent…all within 6 years? Words cannot describe

3. Ivan IV
He was the first of the Tsars and with his resume its surprising that the Russians allowed there to be anymore. During one of his escapades to Poland he had 1000 prisoners brought before him everyday to be executed. Assuming that he got a full nights sleep (8 hours) that would mean witnessing 1 execution for every minute he was awake.

2. Joseph Stalin

To start with, he actually managed to
starve an entire country (The Ukraine).
But as bad as that is, it falls far short of
showcasing the level of badness this
man was capable of. In classic dictator
fashion, he had many of his closest
friends and confidants executed. Total
kill count: around 60 million.

1. Heinrich Himmler

As the leader of the SS, Chief of German
Police, and head of the Gestapo, he
personally coordinated the deaths of
nearly 10 million people and when the
war was over not even his former
colleagues wanted anything to do with
him. Cyanide anyone?

Cars are sometimes referred to as whips because steering wheels were called whips when they were first introduced. This was because steering wheels were used to control cars in the same way that whips were used to control horses in horse- drawn buggies or carriages. The term “whip” was used in early rap and hip-hop music to mean “an expensive car,” but has since evolved to mean “a car.” According to urban legend, rap and hip-hop artists noted that the Mercedes-Benz logo looks like a steering wheel and began calling Mercedes- Benzs and other expensive cars whips. In the automotive industry, “WHIPS” also refers to Volvo’s whiplash protection system, which is designed to reduce the risk of whiplash injuries in car accidents.

6). Robert the Doll

Robert the Doll is a life-like, straw-filled
doll that was once given to a boy named
Robert Otto by his fired Haitian nanny.
The doll soon became Robert’s loyal
companion; he even named it after
himself. However, people in the house
soon began noticing sings of the doll’s
evil nature. The family would often hear
and see paranormal things such as the
boy having conversations with himself in
two entirely different voices, furniture in
his room getting overturned on its own
etc. The cursed doll was then moved to
the attic, but it continued to bring
misfortunes upon Robert and his family,
even after he grew up and got married.


7). Surrey Ghost Car
Crashes are common on the A3 Highway
in England, so it looked like a routine
matter when police in Surrey received
calls that a car had veered off the A3
with its headlights blazing. But when
officers went to investigate, they found
no signs of the reported vehicle.
However, a further search revealed
chilling results. Just 60 ft from the
reported ‘crash scene’ and buried in
twisted undergrowth was the remains of
a wrecked car containing a
decomposing body of a young man,
who, as the police estimated, had
crashed there 5 months earlier.
Therefore, what the witnesses reported,
might have been a ghostly apparition of
the original car.



. Cursed Phone Number


Technically, a phone number is not a
physical object but obviously, it can be
still cursed so we included this item in
our list. We are talking about a
particular Bulgarian phone number +359
888 888 888. The number was in use for
just 10 years, during which it was
successively assigned to 3 people. All of
the owners of this number died shortly
thereafter. The first owner died of
cancer, while the other two were both
gunned down. No wonder the Bulgarian
mobile phone company decided to
suspend this number.

4). Hope Diamond
One of the most famous jewels in the
world, the Hope Diamond is an
unusually large, blue gem reportedly
worth $250 million. With first ownership
records dating back to 17th century, this
diamond is believed to be cursed,
supposedly causing great misfortune
and misery to whoever wears it. The
most commonly accepted origin of the
curse dates back to 1653, when a
French merchant obtained the original
115-carat blue diamond in India where
he plucked the gem from one of the eyes
of a Hindu idol and, for this sacrilege,
was later mauled to death by dogs.


5). King Tutankhamun's To

Ever since the King Tutankhamun’s
Tomb was discovered in Egypt’s Valley
of the Kings in 1923, stories have
circulated that those who dared to
violate the boy king’s final resting place
faced a terrible curse. It is widely
claimed that many people associated
with opening the tomb fell soon victim
to the curse, dying under mysterious
circumstances.

1). CURSED MIRROR AT MYRTLES PLANTATION
A historic home and former plantation,
the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville,
Louisiana, is considered one of
America’s most haunted places. There
are many creepy legends surrounding
the property. The tale of the cursed
mirror is one of the most famous.
According to the legend, the former
owner of the house, Sara Woodruff, and
her two daughters were poisoned by
their slave and are trapped inside the
mirror. Visitors of the house report
seeing hand prints, strange marks, and
even figures dressed in old-fashioned
clothes lurking in the mirror.



2). Haunted Wedding Dress
In 1849, a girl (Anna Baker) from a rich
Pennsylvania family fell in love with a
low class iron worker. Anna’s father did
not want her to marry a man from the
lower class, and he forbid the wedding,
for which Anna had already bought a
dress. Heartbroken and disappointed,
Anna decided to remain single for the
rest of her life; she died as an old maid
in 1914. Since then, her wedding dress
has been allegedly cursed as visitors of
Anna’s house (that was turned into a
museum) often report seeing the dress
moving within the glass box in which it
was put on display.


3). The Anguished Man Pain
One of the world’s most famous
haunted paintings, The Anguished Man
was allegedly created by an extremely
disturbed individual who mixed his own
blood in with the oil paint while painting
the piece. He committed suicide
immediately following its completion.
The painting is owned by Sean
Robinson, who heard strange noises and
saw terrifying sights as long as the
painting was hanging in his bedroom in
his house in Cumbria, England.
