Cursed objects are items believed to bring misfortune, suffering, or supernatural harm to their owners.
The concept appears across folklore, horror fiction, and superstition—haunted dolls, unlucky diamonds, artifacts stolen from tombs.
In internet culture, cursed objects often describes things that are simply unsettling or wrong in some indefinable way: This taxidermy abomination is a cursed object.
