cursed souls
Eternally tormented beings
Cursed souls are spirits condemned to suffering, typically through divine punishment, supernatural curse, or their own misdeeds in life.
The phrase appears in religious contexts, fantasy literature, and video games, describing beings trapped in torment or forced to wander: The cursed souls of the damned cried out from the pit.
It can describe living people metaphorically—those burdened by terrible fate or chronic misfortune.
