If there's any evidence for curses being real, THE 2016 WORLD SERIES IS SOME DAMN GOOD EVIDENCE.

An official Major League Baseball baseball has 108 stitches.[15]
In 2016 the Chicago Cubs (MLB) won the World Series for the first time in 108 years, ending the longest championship drought in North American professional sports. The Cubs' win came in the 10th inning with 8 runs (108).

Yes in fact I'm cursed to continue to browse this forum after sealing my fate creating an account here. It's also the case with Twitter too, so I'm double cursed.

i think the victim of the curse can unconsciously doing a self fulfilling prophecy due to being aware and intimidated by it . a lot of pro athletes are superstitious  kind because they follow routines and listen too deep into their own psyche probably doing self hypnotize to give out every last bit of  extra performance they can squeeze out of their tired body, so a negative influence I suppose can affect those extra last bit and cause a loss.

a cursed couch potatoes on the other hand won't do any worse than their usual selves. I think hahah

Interesting topic. But I think a curse is just paranoid. What did you do? Broke a mirror in pieces and now being cursed for 7 years. That's just a old saying.

Of course they are. You take damage equal to 1/4th of your maximum health each turn.

There's a famous Spanish saying in Latin America and Spain that says something like "I don't believe in witches, but that they exist, they exist". I believe in that saying, and I think the same for curses. I personally don't believe in them, but I know they exist and they're real, so I won't tempt if there's any close to me, that's for sure

I believe sometime people project their own mistake as being cursed or have a bad luck.

I remember the time my younger brother just started his pork jerky business, he somehow failed to make a good jerky that day, then he drove around town to find a catholic church with mary statue on the front of the building to light candle and do some prayers, ... there might be something with the pork, or maybe with one of the ingredients he mixed that day, maybe wrong composition, or too little or too much of something, maybe he forgot to wash the tool he used, but being cursed by competitor or how lighting a candle in front of random mary statue in front of a church would be the answer to his problem all to me sound extremely ridiculous, and for him a university graduate to believe such thing is amazing...
