THE PHONE NUMBER +359 888 888 888

haunted phone number

You might think a cursed phone number sounds like the plot to an uninspired horror flick, but anyone who had the number listed above since its first issuing in the early 2000s has died.

That includes the CEO of a Bulgarian mobile phone company who died of cancer at 48, as well as two crooks—one a mafia boss and the other a cocaine-dealing estate agent, both of whom were “gunned down.” All three died within four years of one another. Since then, the telephone number has been suspended, and the company that owns it refuses to comment as to why.

The Superman Curse

George Reeves

Superman George Reeves - Circa 1951

Today in 1959, TV’s Superman, George Reeves, was found dead in an apparent suicide (gunshot wound). It started the urban legend known as the “Superman Curse.”

The Superman Curse refers to a superstition that is based on a series of misfortunes that have plagued creative people involved in adaptations of Superman in various media, particularly actors who have played the role of Superman on film and television.

The curse in a nutshell: If you play Superman, you will either die an untimely death or end up in the weakest position possible.

See a list of notable people who have fallen victim to the curse here.

Very strange even if you are not superstitious.
