A myriad of islands emerge from the ocean waves, while they differ in size, shape, and distance from the mainland, there are a few islands that harbor forbidden curses, dangerous creatures, and long-lost treasures. What can certain island locales reveal about the people who lived there or what they left behind? What happened at a once-opulent seaside villa where tragedy and misfortune followed residents? And can an island off the coast of Japan provide evidence of a once-lost civilization?
Upcoming
What does it mean when a certain location or mysterious object is referred to as "cursed"? Is it simply a creation of the human imagination mixed with myth, legends, and stories used to explain the common fears inside of us? Perhaps certain areas really are haunted or contain some dark energy emanating from a violent event in the past. Can possessing a dazzling diamond cause those who hold it to suffer misfortune, tragedy and death?
