Summary

SKIP TO 00:06:00 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S STORY! Welcome to Episode 189: The Curse of the Hope Diamond! The diamond which would later come to be known as "The Hope Diamond" is said to be one of the most cursed objects in the world. Originating from the lost Golconda diamond mines of India, French merchant Jean Baptiste Tavernier acquired the 115 carat blue diamond under dubious circumstances to say the least. After the diamond was sold to King Louis the 14th, the diamond changed hands dozens of times over the next 350 years, with people who owned it - and even people who just touched it - suffering gruesome deaths, disfigurement, and bad luck. Join Nat and Aly on this week’s classic curse episode and learn why the Hope Diamond is so haunted.
