1. The Grateful Dead Curse

The famous American rock band called the Grateful Dead had fans who called themselves Deadheads. It was around the 1970s, at the height of the group's popularity, that these fans began to travel to see them perform in as many shows as they could.
As the population continued to grow, a community of like-minded individuals developed. They basically dedicated their whole lives to their love of the band. But amidst this untamed devotion is a string of tragedies that even contemporary crime experts couldn’t seem to figure out.
In 1990, Douglas Simmons, a man from Florida, traveled to see a Grateful Dead show held at a university in Raleigh, North Carolina. During the event, Simmons told a few of his companions at the concert that he was leaving the area and heading to his car parked in a nearby lot. He was never again seen.

2. Murder of a Bridesmaid in Texas
On January 13, 1995, second-grade teacher Mary Catherine Edwards arrived home from school. She went out to take her dog for a quick walk. She got home again and poured herself a glass of wine. She then called her boyfriend. Unknowingly, this would be the last time she would be heard of alive.
The following day, the parents of the 31-year-old decided to go over to her place to check when she failed to return their calls. They were met with an inexplicable sight of their dead daughter in the bathroom upstairs. As described by the report, she was "draped over the edge of the bathtub with her head in the water, and her legs on the floor." She was found naked from the waist down and her hands were handcuffed behind her back.
