The Curse of King Tut
The Curse of King Tut
Some stories of alleged supernatural occurrences cannot really be classified as either urban legends or hoaxes, but as accounts that have been told so often that the truth of the original report has become obscured over the years. Perhaps a classic story of this type would be the curse of King Tut.
The following individuals have been linked to Tut's curse:
- Howard Carter's canary
