cursed ground
Soil under malediction
Cursed ground is land believed to carry a supernatural blight or divine punishment—places where bad things happen, crops fail, or evil lingers.
The concept appears across folklore, religion, and horror fiction: burial grounds disturbed, sites of atrocities, soil salted by conquering armies.
They say nothing grows on that cursed ground.
The phrase often implies that the land itself remembers wrongdoing.
