Do you believe in curses? Certainly you've heard or read stories and legends of curses placed on people by those who dabble in the occult or the dark arts, but do they really have any power? Or is it all just superstition? Or, if the victims of these curses believe in them, does it matter if they are supernatural in nature or not?

Consider these reports of curses and their sometimes devastating effects, and judge for yourself whether they are produced by dark, sinister, external forces, or are brought about from the minds of those who have been cursed. Read more.

I think the important thing is that the people who are cursed believe that they are and I think they either create the problem themselves or allow it to happen. Anyone who feels they are under a curse should go to a religious person or psychic they trust and have it broken. Maybe curses are real or maybe they are 100% in the mind of the cursed but either way they need to break the cycle once and for all.

So what they should do then if they’re cursed (which isn’t real) is go to a religious man and have God (who also isn’t real) remove the curse and cleanse them.

That makes about as much sense as reading a Mother Goose story to remove goblins from your closet. Get real, kid..

Visara I disagree with you that curses and God are not real but you are entitled to your opinion. It’s really moot when it comes to this issue. Have you ever heard of sugar pills? They “cure” people every day of illnesses. If someone is convinced that a curse is real then telling them it isn’t won’t help them. Sending them to a religious person to break the curse can convince them it is gone and they can move on with their lives. If it is a real curse then the religious leader can break it and even if it is just all in their mind they can let go of it mentally. Either way curse gone and they can live happily ever after.
