studying Indian

curses Indian curses you see that the

most powerful and fear curs is of B when

an individual takes an item from a

sacred Indian burial ground like say an

ancient Indian

Arrowhead the end result typically is

that the individual is forced to live

out his worst

nightmare

whated happened to me yes yes I'm cursed

I'm cursed and I'm living out My Own

Worst Nightmare oh my God and I'm I'm

trapped forever what will I

do the only way to lick the curse is to

return the stolen object to the sacred

burial ground within 24 hours of its

theft if the person does not the curse

is permanent and

irrevocable

it can't be changed
