Curse and legend
The "Curse of the Crying Boy"
Around 1985, a series of mysterious house fires were reported, in which everything was said to have burned except for a painting: The Crying Boy. This remained undamaged. In the following years, approximately 40 to 50 cases were recorded in which a house fire destroyed everything except the aforementioned painting. The phenomenon became known as the "Curse of the Crying Boy" and made headlines worldwide. The painting itself was a portrait by the Italian artist Giovanni Bragolin. It was said that his studio burned down and the boy was later killed in a car accident. This painting was one of the first to be mass-produced, but the curse seems to extend to all copies circulating worldwide. It is said that the curse only takes effect when the owner of the painting becomes aware of it. It is also claimed that the painting is possessed by the spirit of the boy depicted. One eyewitness reported having had such a copy hanging in his house for 15 years. Although it never burned, he never liked it, and it always sent a shiver down his spine when he looked at it. But that was a long time ago. Still, he wondered who might own the picture now. But one thing was certain: he himself would never hang that picture in his house again.
The "cursed doll"
This story is based on true events from the 1970s. At that time, Donna Bernard received a doll as a birthday present. Later, she reported unusual occurrences involving the doll. These included reports of the doll moving, disturbing written messages, and the appearance of blood. Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren examined the doll and concluded that it was possessed by a demon, performing several exorcisms on it. The doll is still kept in a locked display case. It is believed to this day that the doll remains possessed by a demon.
Der "Slenderman"
This modern legend is based on events in Scotland. In 1986, fourteen children vanished without a trace from a playground. A photograph taken a week later became legendary. It showed a large, blurry figure next to a tree—the first image of Slenderman! He is described as being up to 4 meters tall, with long, thin arms and legs and no facial features. Long tentacles are also said to grow from his back. He typically wears a black suit. The children have never been found. According to one myth, he prefers to lurk at night in dark forests or wooded parks. He moves silently and has the ability to teleport to different locations. His victims are stalked for some time before he captures them, disembowels them, and impales them on trees. Many disappear forever.
The "Necronomicon - Book of Death"
The Necronomicon, also known as the Book of the Dead, was written around 700 AD in what is now Yemen. Legend has it that it was made of human skin and written in blood. The book recounts the cults of the demon gods Azathoth, Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Tsathoggua, and Yog-Sothoth. The Necronomicon not only describes their origins and history but also contains numerous spells and rituals for summoning these demons. In total, the book contains symbols, curses, a hierarchy of demons, summoning formulas, spells, and portals to other dimensions. To this day, no one knows the whereabouts of the Necronomicon. Should this book fall into human hands, even reading a single line could have devastating consequences and summon countless demons and spirits.
