Synopsis Curses And Jinxes by : Vikas Khatri
We have heard of people cursing and casting spells in fits of anger or distress. But do these utterings really come to pass? And what would you call the song that prompts over 200 people to commit suicide? Jinxed or merely a coincidence? Legends and out of this world incidents have proved that such unnerving and bone-chilling phenomena do exist in this very scientifically evolved world of ours, whether we like it or not, whether we believe it or not! This book is a compilation of some of the incredibly creepy stories that have surfaced over the centuries. Tutankhamun's curse, Rasputin's utterings and stories of jinxed ships are twisted, enjoyable fast reads that will engross you from the first to the last page and leave you asking for more.

Synopsis The Baby Train and Other Lusty Urban Legends by : Jan Harold Brunvand
America's premier folk detective is back on the case, sniffing out those zany but dubious stories that "really happened" to a friend of your sister's boyfriend's accountant's mechanic. Jan Harold Brunvand—''Mr. Urban Legend" [Smithsonian]—tracks the most fabulous tales making today's cocktail-party circuit and shows why those stories that sound too good to be true probably are too good to be true. The eponymous episode—"The Baby Train"—sheds light on certain predawn activities that have linked unusually high birth rates to the whim of train schedule makers. Other stories offer a revealing peek behind the story of "The Exploding Bra," expose the embarrassing source of "The Hairdresser's Error," resurrect a "Failed Suicide" Buster Keaton would have died for, and show why adults are better off not bringing their comic book fantasies out of the closet. From "Superhero Hijinx" to "The Shocking Videotape" to "The Accidental Cannibal," The Baby Train uncovers the mysteries behind some of the bawdiest, goriest, funniest, most pyrotechnic urban legends yet.

Synopsis Cursed Are You! by : Anne Marie Kitz
This is a book about curses. It is not about curses as insults or offensive language but curses as petitions to the divine world to render judgment and execute harm on identified, hostile forces. In the ancient world, curses functioned in a way markedly different from our own, and it is into the world of the ancient Near East that we must go in order to appreciate the scope of their influence. For the ancient Near Easterners, curses had authentic meaning. Curses were part of their life and religion. They were not inherently magic or features of superstitions, nor were they mere curiosities or trifling antidotes. They were real and effective. They were employed proactively and reactively to manage life’s many vicissitudes and maintain social harmony. They were principally protective, but they were also the cause of misfortune, illness, depression, and anything else that undermined a comfortable, well-balanced life. Every member of society used them, from slave to king, from young to old, from men and women to the deities themselves. They crossed cultural lines and required little or no explanation, for curses were the source of great evil. In other words, curses were universal. Because curses were woven into the very fabric of every known ancient Near Eastern society, they emerge frequently and in a wide variety of venues. They appear on public and private display objects, on tomb stelae, tomb lintels, and sarcophagi, on ancient kudurrus and narûs. They are used in political, administrative, social, religious, and familial contexts. They are the subject of incantations. They are tools that exorcise demons and dispel disease; they ban, protect, and heal. This is the phenomenology of cursing in the ancient Near East, and this is what the present work explores.

Synopsis BLESSINGS, CURSES, AND SPIRITUAL ATTACKS by : GODSWORD GODSWILL ONU
All of us want blessings, while we detest curses and spiritual attacks. But how do blessings, curses, and spiritual attacks come? And, do we have any part to play as far as their coming is concerned? Though some blessings, curses, and spiritual attacks come without link to what we, as individuals, did and do, yet some of them are connected to our actions and speeches. And you can bless or curse yourself. Spiritual attacks are projected by the wicked spirits and their human agents. The devil has no true or real blessing. Even though God's Judgment does not come immediately because we are in the New Testament, God does punish sins and disobedience with curses, losses, death, and destruction. Sin and disobedience will open the door for the devil in your life.
