5 Most Terrifying Cursed Object That Actually Exist!
1. The Dybbuk Box
In 2001, a man named Kevin Mannis purchased a wine cabinet at an estate sale, and immediately started having terrible nightmares as did the people around him. He decide to give away his cabinet to his mother who had a stroke the very same day she received it. Each owner since then has reported horrible events upon coming into possession of the cabinet. It's last owner, Jason Haxson developed a strange skin disease among other medical conditions. The origin of the box were traced back to a Holocaust survivor and is believed to be possessed by a Dybbuk, an evil spirit in Jewish mythology. The legend lives on and in fact become the inspiration for the 2012 movie "The Possession".
2. Annabelle the Doll
Annabelle the doll was originally discovered in an antique shop in 1970. After being purchased as a gift from a mother to her daughter Donna, strange happenings began occurring. Upon receiving it and bringing it home, she noticed that over time, the doll would appear in other rooms that she didn't put it. In addition, little notes would begin appearing around her apartment randomly and fresh droplets of blood would appear on the doll's dress. The girl finally contacted renowned psychic investigator Ed and Lorraine Warren that the doll was possessed by a demon. Annabelle the doll than become the inspiration of the movie "Annabelle" by James Wan with real life true story.
3. The Hands Resist Him Painting
Painted by artist Bill Stoneham, "The Hands Resist Him", is considered one of the world's most haunted pieces of art. Each owner has passed on a similar warning to the next potential buyer which is that, come nightfall, the figures within the painting either move or disappear entirely. Many people that have simply viewed the painting, have complained about immediately feeling sick or weak. According to the artist, the door represented a threshold between this world and another world.
4. The Crying Boy Painting
"The Crying Boy" painting was created by italian artist Giovanni Bragolin in 1950s, and quickly become infamous. Over the years, the painting become very popular and thus mass produced and was hung in many homes across Britain. However, it soon became widely reported that many of these homes began mysteriously catching fire with many of them burning to the ground. But as unsettling as that is, the most disturbing thing is in many of these homes, the painting was discovered and all untouched by the raging flames. Now, some attributes of these fires to pure coincidence, but the undamaged paintings have yet to be explained.
5. Busby's Stoop Chair
This notorious chair once belonged to convicted murderer Thomas Busby. Before he was hanged for his crimes, his final request was to have a meal at his favorite local pub. However, upon finishing his meal, he stood and proclaimed "May sudden death come to anyone who dares sit on my chair". Since then, a supposed 63 people who have sat on the chair met the untimely deaths, sometimes, mere moments after sitting on it. When the number of deaths become too coincidental, the pub owner donated the chair to the Thirsk Museum in the UK in 1972. The chair is still there today where it's hung 5 feet off the ground to prevent any further......coincidences.

WHY DID TITANIC........?
Titanic is one of the most famous ship in the history made in 1912. Designed by Naval Architect Thomas Andrews. Titanic sank in the middle of North Atlantic on April 15th 1912 because she was struck an iceberg that leaked more than two of its watertight compartments. Titanic has been found by Dr. Robert Ballard in 1985. Today, i will revealed some of the unique question that has been answered by the latest expedition before the 100th Anniversary of Titanic with goal of mapping the entire wreck site. Let's get started...
Q: Why did Titanic sank? Did Titanic has flaws in its design?
A: Titanic has no flaws in its design and the flaws statement has been disapproved by the test they did. They actually made a replica of Titanic steel wall with hammered rivets. Then, they gave the pressure to it to see if one rivet popped out, will the rest be popped out too? In fact, one rivet did popped out, but the rest of the rivets remained intact. No one knows how much pressure that the iceberg did, but it's definitely not because of the flaws design.
Q: Why did Titanic broke in half?
A: No one know how actually Titanic broke. Titanic broke in the middle of the second and the third funnel. It's completely different from what we saw in 1997 movie. James Cameron actually did the latest expedition too and admitted that the broke up he made in the movie was wrong. The found of the double bottom speaks the truth. But why Titanic broke in half? Because she was subjected with stress that no structure could withstand.
Q: Why did Titanic not bring more lifeboats?
A: Titanic actually have more lifeboats than the law required. Experts assumed that they don't need to hold everyone, because radio will call other ship to the rescue. Today, lifeboats seats for everyone is the law. But what good with enough lifeboats if there's no time to launched them?
3 years after Titanic, Lusitania sank in 1915, The Andrea Doria in 1956, and Costa Concordia on January 2012. 3 of these ships rolled on their side as they sank, making many of their lifeboats unused. Titanic remain stable for 2 hours and 40 minutes as its sinking and all of her lifeboats were used. One of the researcher convinced that no other ship on the ocean would've perform under that circumstances as well....as Titanic.
I think there's a lot of evidences that Titanic was built a lot better than she has been given credit for.

FREDDY GLOVES AS SEEN IN "A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET" MOVIES AND THEIR REPLICAS
Okay no more chit chat, let's just start with the gloves
No Freddy Krueger fans who don't know this famous opening scene of the movie.
A Nightmare on Elm Street original released in....just the right time, just the right corner. I feel like this is a stand alone movie whether or not there are sequels for this movie. But this movie is just really stand out. The idea of the glove was made by Lou Carlucci, along with special mechanical effects Jim Doyle. The idea of this glove is to make silhouette of creepiness and talons.
This glove is being replicated until today to find a perfect match from the original glove. There are several glove makers tried to replicated this glove.
The best glove makers to get the exact replica of Part 1 glove is Jameson Michael Knapp over darkdreamdesign.com for $250 + shipping.
The second instalment from the first movie. The glove is pretty much the same, except cleaner.
After shooting the movie, the glove mysteriously disappear. No one know where it went and stay missing for two and a half decades. Then the glove was found by Mike Becker on an online auction for $650 because it was listed as A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 stunt glove.
There it is....the one and only original Freddy glove has been found.
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
The glove in this movie is different but still have the same design.
It's a lot smaller and the blades is shorter with rounded tips. It's also using different style leather glove. The stalls and backplate is more charred than ever.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of Part 3 glove is Robbie Atkinson over terrorgloves.com for $175 + shipping.
4. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master (1988)
Now this one look from the deepest hell. This glove is very different than the first 3 movie and the backplate is a lot bigger with much shorter finger stalls.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of Part 4 glove is Mike Becker, contact his facebook for pricing.
1. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
No Freddy Krueger fans who don't know this famous opening scene of the movie.
A Nightmare on Elm Street original released in....just the right time, just the right corner. I feel like this is a stand alone movie whether or not there are sequels for this movie. But this movie is just really stand out. The idea of the glove was made by Lou Carlucci, along with special mechanical effects Jim Doyle. The idea of this glove is to make silhouette of creepiness and talons.
This glove is being replicated until today to find a perfect match from the original glove. There are several glove makers tried to replicated this glove.
The best glove makers to get the exact replica of Part 1 glove is Jameson Michael Knapp over darkdreamdesign.com for $250 + shipping.
When the first film arrived on screen there was nothing like the
weapon seen here. It was primal and evoked images of talons and claws, but the
construction was conceived as using things found in a boiler room or basement,
hence the copper pipes and general “Scrap parts” look used in the opening scene
of the film. This glove is built using type-M copper pipe used to make the
original glove with brazing to affix the blades to the tips rather than solder
resulting in authentic red coloring specific to the glove used in the first
film and authentically colored and weathered Carolina leather including
additional hole patterns
2. A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)
The second instalment from the first movie. The glove is pretty much the same, except cleaner.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of Part 2 glove is Mark Petrie over knifegloves.com for $250 + shipping.
By the time the sequel film was made, many changes
appeared on the hero prop which are faithfully captured here. Many elements
only seen on the glove in the first film were changed, such as the removal of most
of the weathering, resulting in a lighter colored glove. Gone is much of the
backplate coloring and dark tones of the fingers as well as much of the reds on
the tips resulting in a more dirty brownish weathering, and new details
appeared such as small holes on the ring finger tip for a proposed ring replacement
using wire, new larger replacement cap leather rivets on the middle and pinkie
fingers used to affix the fingers to the back plate as well for the index
finger hinges were used. Additionally, the middle ring and pinkie finger tips
were reshaped. The backplate was also reshaped giving it a new bend profile.
After shooting the movie, the glove mysteriously disappear. No one know where it went and stay missing for two and a half decades. Then the glove was found by Mike Becker on an online auction for $650 because it was listed as A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 stunt glove.
There it is....the one and only original Freddy glove has been found.
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
It's a lot smaller and the blades is shorter with rounded tips. It's also using different style leather glove. The stalls and backplate is more charred than ever.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of Part 3 glove is Robbie Atkinson over terrorgloves.com for $175 + shipping.
This
glove is replicated as seen worn by Freddy Krueger in Nightmare on Elm St 3
Dream Warriors. The finger stalls are cut and hand shaped from Type M copper
pipe. The Back plate is cut and hand shaped from Brass. The blades are 16 gauge
laser cut stainless steel so they will never rust or corrode. The leather on
this glove has the correct inner seam on the index finger.
4. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master (1988)
Now this one look from the deepest hell. This glove is very different than the first 3 movie and the backplate is a lot bigger with much shorter finger stalls.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of Part 4 glove is Mike Becker, contact his facebook for pricing.
Coming from the
burned corpse of a madman buried in consecrated ground in a junk yard comes
this charred masterpiece. In the fourth outing the glove changed yet again. No
longer resembling it’s original incarnations, this glove features a more
battered look with heavily dented fingers as well as the first appearance of
the “solder spills” that will dominate the look of the glove for the next two
films. Additionally this glove features a heavily charred weathering on the
backplate and even more red staining on the tips that continues on the stalls
which now feature specific dark staining on the flats and meticulously
replicated dark staining resulting in the famous black swirls on the index and
middle finger stalls.
5. A Nightmare on Elm
Street 5: Dream Child (1989)
I'm not sure about this one, this glove was made....not a straight up when you think of Freddy Krueger, even the movie itself but whatever. There it is.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of Part 5 glove is Brian Sills over DGW (Demented Glove Works), contact his facebook for pricing.
Continuing on many
of the design elements of the Part 5, this glove features
similar shaping along with continuing with the solder spills seen in the
previous film but with a new backplate shape marking the first appearance of
the “six point fold” creases that will continue on into the next film. One of
the biggest changes that sets this glove apart is a more “clean look” with
minimal weathering to the entire armature and leather as well as shortened
tangs on the blades that no longer reach all the way to the stalls.
6. Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
(1991)
Don't even start with this one. The worst Nightmare movie of all time and poorly written script, even poor Freddy's makeup and funky looking glove, but.....there it is.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of Part 6 glove is Jameson Michael Knapp over darkdreamdesign.com for $250 + shipping.
While very similar to
one of the gloves used in the previous film, this glove features all new finger
tips with heavily soldered on blades, this time carved from butter knives that
have been shaped with a very unique profile with no two blades being the same.
The fingers themselves are some of the most warped and misshaped ever seen in
the film series with very specific build characteristics giving the fingers a
much longer look ending as much as 3/4 inch past the leather which now is
colored to a more faded tan leaning towards gray. Additionally the glove has a
more dirty weathering than the previous film, especially on the tips where the
heavy solder spills add to the more rough look of the glove.
7. Wes Craven's New
Nightmare (1994)
This movie is better than Part 5 and Part 6. Much more demonic and yes...created by the man Wes Craven (RIP). The Claw is more than just a glove, it's a flesh claw with bones, steel claws coming out of finger tips also for the thumb.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of New Nightmare glove is Anders Eriksen over nightmaregloves, contact his facebook for pricing (about $700 + shipping).
For the last movie Wes Craven made, the glove is menacing and the steel claws is much more ferocious. The hand part is made out of silicone and the resin bones are molded for accuracy. The paint job is just spot on and dead on as we see on screen. Anders goes beasting making a true replica of New Nightmare glove. Once you put it on, you never wanna take it off.
8. Freddy VS Jason (2003)
This movie is not better than New Nightmare and goes out ridiculous but...still cool to see them fight. The glove however...is a beast.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of VS glove is Robbie Atkinson over terrorgloves.com for $275 + shipping.
Upon the burned
maniac’s return in 2003, a new glove was built hearkening back to some earlier
designs but this time, built for war. Made using MUCH thicker 1/8th inch steel
blades with hand ground, heavy double beveled edges, mirrored and soldered to
an all Type-L Copper pipe construction used for the fingers, backplate and
rings which have been aged to a nearly black finish, makes this glove a beast.
To top it all off, Versus uses a specific style leather glove with three seams
running down the back and featuring a palm hole and cut off finger tips
authentic to the make and model production used gloves.
9.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) > Remake
Still better than Part 5 and Part 6 even better than Freddy VS Jason.
Even Robert Englund not playing in this movie, this movie still much darker and
mysterious. Freddy played by Jackie Earl Haley. Even still not as good as
Robert, but decent. The glove man.....killer.
The best glove maker to get the exact replica of Remake glove is Joe D. Mack over k4fgloves.com. for $450 + shipping.
Joe D Mack DELUXE
Remake glove is finally here! Made by the master glove maker of the 2010
Nightmare On Elm Street remake, the DELUXE is Joe's most "accurate"
glove to date. No short cuts, no rushing, all the details are here... straight
from movie templates, hand and machined parts just like the production gloves.
Lathed finger caps, lathed cuff hinges, correct copper thickness, beautifully
weathered, deep blade bevels, correct leather and more.... This is as close as
you are going to get to owning a production glove PERIOD. Each glove is signed and
numbered by Joe on the cuff.
There are other Freddy gloves out there used for the films such as stunt gloves, secondary hero gloves. But all the gloves i mentioned above are the one that iconic from each movie.
Description for part 1, part 2, part 4, part 5, part 6 and Versus made by Jameson
Description for part 3, made by Robbie
Description for New Nightmare made by me
Description for Remake made by Andy
Enjoy and hope you know that each movie have different gloves. :)

BINUS FEP (Freshmen Enrichment Program)
Hai, It's me....Seno. Saya hari ini mau memberikan sedikit cerita selama saya di FEP, bahasa jaman dulunya.....perploncoan, bahasa anak senior....ospek, bahasa anak juniornya....masa-masa takut senior. Udah berapa lama anak Indonesia sekolah dan hidup dalam dunia persekolahan dibawah bayang-bayang senior yang menakutkan. Saya pernah dibully dulu sekali. Jadi saya tahu rasanya di ospek tuh kayak gimana. Belom lama ini, di SMA, SMP, kuliah pun ada
yang meninggal gara-gara Ospek.
Alhasil, murid takut ospek. Saya bingung, senior kok seneng banget ya ngospek anak-anak ga bersalah? Yang masih ada di benak saya, ada senior biadab di facebook yang komen soal ospek yang menghilangkan nyawa dan ia berkata "Kalu ga mau ospek yang begini, gausah sekolah di indonesia". Jujur, kalo saya ketemu orangnya, saya mau tampar. Orang biadab! bukannya membenci kekerasan ospek, tapi malah mendukungnya.
Gurupun belom ada kesadaran, belom ada yang mau turun tangan tentang Ospek. Mudah-mudahan anak-anak biadab itu diberikan hidayah, kalo ga....mahasiswa abadi, kalo ga....penjara seumur hidup.
Tapi bro, gua disini mau ngasih tau perbedaan ospek BINUS dengan ospek PTN lainnya. Baru-baru ini, title BINUS jadi "World Class University" keren kan?
Hari pertama FEP, jujur...gua rada takut pas ketemu kakak senior yang briefing. Tapi, gua ga nyangka..kakak-kakak seniornya baik-baik, keren-keren. Yang junior dipanggil BUDDY, kakak-kakak senior yang bimbing dipanggil BC (Buddy Coordinator) gila, mantab, superb! Lu ga bakal salah kalo milih BINUS buat jadi universitas masa depan lo! Lu gabakal dibotakin, tenang aja yang udah ganteng kayak anime gabakal dibotakin! Beda deh! Lu bakalan jadi bro ama kakak-kakak senior. Tenang, yang takut bully...ntar senior yang nge-bully di D.O kok ama rektornya :)

V for Vendetta
V brings Evey back to his lair, the Shadow Gallery, where she is told she must stay in hiding until the fifth of November, Guy Fawkes Night, the following year. After learning that V is killing government officials, she escapes to the home of her boss, comedian and talk show host Gordon Deitrich. In return for Evey's trusting him with her safety, Deitrich reveals to her a collection of prohibited materials such as subversive paintings, an antique Quran, and homoerotic photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe. Deitrich explains that he has to conceal his sexuality to retain his television career. After he does an over-the-top satire of the government on his television show, his home is raided, and Evey is captured while trying to escape. She is incarcerated and tortured for days for information about V, with her only solace in the notes written by another prisoner, an actress named Valerie Page, who was arrested for being a lesbian.
Evey is told that she will be executed unless she reveals V's location, but when she says she would rather die she is immediately released, at which point it is revealed that her imprisonment and torture were staged by V as an exercise to free her from her fears. The notes are real, having been passed by Valerie to V years earlier when he was similarly imprisoned. Although Evey initially hates V for what he did to her, she realizes she is a stronger person. She leaves him with a promise to return before November 5.
Inspector Finch, Scotland Yard's chief of police, searches for the true identity of V, eventually tracing him back to a bioweaponsprogram at a detention centre for "social deviants" and political dissidents in Larkhill. Finch eventually realizes that the program, directed by then-under secretary Adam Sutler, resulted in the creation of the "St. Mary's Virus" and its release in a false flag terrorist attack. The deaths of 80,000 people and the resulting fear allowed the Norsefire party to win the next election, thereafter silencing all opposition and turning the United Kingdom into a totalitarian state.
As November 5 nears, V's distribution of thousands of Guy Fawkes masks begins causing chaos in the UK and the population starts questioning Norsefire's rule. On the eve of the 5th, Evey visits V, who shows her an explosive-laden train in the abandoned London Underground set to destroy Parliament. He leaves it up to Evey to decide whether to use it, believing that he is unfit to decide. V leaves to meet secret police chief Creedy, who made a deal with V to hand over Sutler in exchange for V's surrender. When Creedy executes Sutler as V watches, V refuses to surrender and is shot by Creedy's bodyguards. V survives, partially because of his concealed armour, and kills Creedy and his men. Mortally wounded, V returns to Evey to thank her and admits he is in love with her before dying in her arms.

Krakatoa (Indonesian: Krakatau), is a volcanic island made of a'a lava in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. The name is used for the island group, the main island (also called Rakata), and the volcano as a whole. The island exploded in 1883, killing approximately 40,000 people, although some estimates put the death toll much higher. The explosion is considered to be the loudest sound ever heard in modern history, with reports of it being heard nearly 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from its point of origin. The shock wave from the explosion was recorded on barographs around the globe.
Historical significance
The best known eruption of Krakatoa culminated in a series of massive explosions on August 26–27, 1883, which was among the most violent volcanic events in modern and recorded history.
With a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 6, the eruption was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT (840 PJ) – about 13,000 times the nuclear yield of the Little Boy bomb (13 to 16 kt) that devastated Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II and four times the yield of the Tsar Bomba (50 Mt), the largest nuclear device ever detonated.
The 1883 eruption ejected approximately 21 km3 (5.0 cu mi) of rock, ash, and pumice. The cataclysmic explosion was distinctly heard as far away as Perth in Western Australia, about 1,930 miles (3,110 km) away, and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, about 3,000 miles (5,000 km) away. Near Krakatoa, according to official records, 165 villages and towns were destroyed and 132 seriously damaged, at least 21,007 (official toll) people died, and many thousands were injured by the eruption, mostly from the tsunamis that followed the explosion. The eruption destroyed two-thirds of the island of Krakatoa.
Eruptions at the volcano since 1927 have built a new island in the same location, named Anak Krakatau (which is Indonesian for "Child of Krakatoa"). This island currently has a radius of roughly 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) and a high point around 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level, growing 5 metres (16 ft) each year.
