Some Curses surrounding Celebrities include James Dean - Silver Porsche Spyder, Billy Bob Thornton and the Wiccan Rule of Three.
Curses can be short-lived or extremely long running spanning many generations. It can be applied to objects, people, places and animals. But where did they originate, how do they start and who can place a curse?
The Kennedy curse is probably the most well-known of possible curses that has ever struck an entire family.
Back in the year 1811 a curse was placed on the US Presidency by a Native American Chieftain. It is known as the Tecumseh or Tippecanoe curse. The Governor of India in 1811, William Harrison, bribed Native Americans to give lands to the US government, and then handed out free whiskey to all of the tribes.
However, this angered the Shawnee Chief Tecumseh and he, along with the remaining braves, defended their land. In return, Harrison attacked Tecumseh's village and broke the resistance. The Chief's brother, Tenskwatawa, placed a curse on Harrison. When Harrison was elected US president in 1840 the curse finally took affect.
Harrison died of pneumonia 31 days after taking office. From then on, for 120 years, every president elected in a year ending in a zero died in office.

Online sources appear to associate animal cursedness with (all? some?) snakes.
They cite for serpentine cursedness Genesis 3:14-15, "So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
But have you heard about what Tibetan Buddhism identifies as animal cursedness? It's shaggy-coated, sharp-clawed, sharp-toothed animals!
The second sentence in the second paragraph to your introduction clarifies that "It can be applied to objects, people, places and animals."
What might be examples of animals, objects and places that appear to be, or to have been, cursed?
According to science this sort of thing should not happen, but I cannot rid myself of the feeling that something odd is going on. Remember, we do not understand the world as we think we do.
As a Christian, my nightly prayers include prayers for my enemies [yes, there are people who don't like me.] This is the opposite of cursing.
Very interesting cases you mention in your article. One can only wonder if it is only bad lack or if there is something else behind these cases.
