Cursed Objects: Some Things Should Never Be Touched
About this episode
On this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits, the hosts explore alleged cursed objects—ordinary items rumored to bring tragedy or misfortune. They discuss famous tales and artifacts, from the Hope Diamond and Otzi the Iceman to Busby’s Chair, James Dean’s Porsche, the Crying Boy paintings, and more.
Through folklore, investigative skepticism, and listener reactions, the show examines how stories transform objects into legends and asks whether the real power lies in the artifacts or in the stories we tell about them.
