Believe it or not....
Of all tales of the supernatural, this one is perhaps the best
documented, the most disturbing and the most difficult to
explain.
The Princess of Amen-Ra
lived some 1500 years before Christ. When she died, she was laid
in an ornate wooden coffin and buried deep in a vault at Luxor,
on the banks of the Nile. In the late 1890's, 4 rich young
Englishmen visiting the excavations at Luxor were invited to buy
an exquisitely fashioned mummy case containing the remains of
Princess Amen-Ra. They drew lots. The man who won paid several
thousand pounds and had the coffin taken to his hotel. A few
hours later, he was seen walking out towards the desert. He never
returned.
The next day, one of the
remaining 3 men was shot by an Egyptian servant accidentally. His
arm was so severely wounded it had to be amputated.
The 3rd man in the foursome
found on his return home that the bank holding his entire savings
had failed. The 4th guy suffered a severe illness, lost his job
and was reduced to selling matches in the street.
Nevertheless, the coffin
reached England (causing other misfortunes along the way), where
it was bought by a London businessman. After 3 of his family
members had been injured in a road accident and his house damaged
by fire, the man donated it to the British Museum. As the coffin
was being unloaded from a truck in the museum courtyard, the
truck suddenly went into reverse and trapped a passer-by. Then as
the casket was being lifted up the stairs by 2 workman, 1 fell
and broke his leg. The other, apparently in perfect health, died
with no explanation two days later.
Once the Princess was
installed in the Egyptian Room, trouble really started. The
museum's night watchmen frequently heard frantic hammering and
sobbing from the coffin. Also, other exhibits in the room were
often hurled about at night. One watchman died on duty; causing
the other watchmen to quit.
Cleaners refused to go near
the Princess too. When a visitor derisively flicked a dustcloth
at the face painted on the coffin, his child died of measles soon
afterwards.
Finally, the authorities had
the mummy carried down to the basement, figuring it could not do
any harm down there. Within a week, one of the helpers was
seriously ill, and the supervisor of the move was found dead on
his desk.
By now, the papers had heard
of it. A journalist photographer took a picture of the mummy case
and when he developed it, the painting on the coffin was a
horrifying human face. The photographer was said to have gone
home, locked his bedroom door, and shot himself. Soon afterwards,
the museum sold the mummy to a private collector. After continual
misfortune (and deaths), the owner banished it to his attic. A
well know authority on the occult, Madame Helena Blavatsky,
visited the premises. Upon entry, she was seized with a shivering
fit and searched the house for a source of "an evil
influence of incredible intensity."
She finally came to the
attic and found the mummy case. "Can you exorcise this evil
spirit?" asked the owner. Her response was "There is no
such thing as exorcism. Evil remains evil forever. Nothing can be
done about it. I implore you to get rid of this evil as soon as
possible."
However, no British museum
would take the mummy. The fact that almost 20 people had met with
misfortune, disaster, or death from handling the casket, in 10
years, was now well known. Eventually, a hard-headed American
archaeologist (who dismissed the happenings as quirks of
circumstance), paid a handsome price for the mummy and arranged
for it's removal to New York. In April 1912, the owner escorted
his treasure aboard a sparkling, new White Star liner about to
make it's maiden voyage to New York. On the night of April 14th,
amid scenes of unprecedented horror, the Princess of Amen-Ra
accompanied 1,500 passengers to their deaths at the bottom of the
Atlantic Ocean.
The name of the ship was Titanic.
