Here's a little historical tid bit for all of you. A&E did this story.
Brace yourself for this one!
Of all tales of the supernatural, this one is perhaps the best
documented, the most disturbing, and the most difficult to
explain.
The princess of Amen-Ra lived some 1,500 yrs. before Christ. When
she died she was laid in an ornate wooden sarcophagus and buried
deep in a vault at Luxor, on the banks of the Nile.
In the late 1890's, 4 rich young Englishmen visiting the excavations
at Luxor were invited to buy an exquisitely fashioned mummy case
containing the remains of the Princess of Amen-Ra. They drew lots.
The man who won paid several thousand pounds and had the coffin
taken to his hotel. A few hours later, he was seen walking out
towards the desert. He never returned.
The next day, one of the remaining 3 men was shot by an Egyptian
servant accidentally. His arm was so severely wounded it had to be
amputated. The 3rd man in the foursome found on his return home
that the bank holding his entire savings had failed. The 4th man
suffered a severe illness, lost his job and was reduced to selling
matches
in the street.
Nevertheless, the sarcophagus reached England (causing other
misfortunes along the way), where it was bought by a London
businessman. After 3 of his family members had been injured in a
road accident and his house damaged by fire, the businessman donated it
to the British Museum.
As the coffin was being unloaded from a truck in the museum
courtyard, the truck suddenly went into reverse and trapped a
passerby. Then as the casket was being lifted up the stairs by 2
workmen, 1 fell and broke his leg. The other, apparently in
perfect health, died unaccountably 2 days later.
Once the Princess was installed in the Egyptian room, trouble
really started. The museum's night watchmen frequently heard frantic
hammering and sobbing from the sarcophagus. Other exhibits in the
room were also often hurled about at night. One watchman died on
duty causing the other watchman to quit. Cleaners refused to go
near the Princess, too.
When a visitor derisively flicked a dust cloth at the face painted on
the sarcophagus, his child died of Measles soon afterwards.
Finally, the authorities had the mummy carried down the basement.
Figuring
it could not do any harm down there. Within a week, one of the
helpers was seriously ill, and the supervisor of the move was found dead
on his desk.
By now, the papers had heard of it. A journalist photographer was
said to have gone home, locked his bedroom door and shot himself.
Soon afterwards, the museum sold the mummy to a private collector.
After continual misfortune and deaths, the owner banished it to
the attic. A well known authority on the occult, Madame Helena
Blavatsky, visited the premises. Upon entry, she was seized with a
shivering fit and searched the house for the source of "an evil influence
of
incredible intensity." She finally came to the attic and found the
mummy case. "Can you exorcise this evil spirit?" asked the owner.
"There is no such thing as exorcism. Evil remains evil forever.
Nothing can be done about it. I implore you to get rid of this evil
as soon as possible."
But no British museum would take the mummy; the fact that almost
20 people had met with misfortune, disaster or death from handling
the casket in barely 10 yrs, was now well known.
Eventually, a hardheaded American archaeologist (who dismissed the
happenings as quirks of circumstance), paid a handsome price for
the mummy and arranged for its removal to New York.
In April 1912, the new owner escorted his treasure aboard a sparkling
new Ship Star liner about to make its maiden voyage to New York.
On the night of April 14, amid scenes of unprecedented horror, the
Princess Amen-Ra accompanied, 1,228 passengers to their deaths at
the bottom of the Atlantic.
The name of the ship was......... The RMS Titanic
