Cursed by Love (season 4 episode 1)

Our Shack door is creaking open on a brand-new season — and this time, we’re diving headfirst into the world of cursed objects. What exactly makes an object cursed? Can bad luck really cling to a mirror, a ring, or even a typewriter? In this episode, we explore where these stories come from, why and who may have created them, and what they say about us. And just to set the tone, we end with a tale of love and death tied to one of history’s most infamous cursed relics — the Basano Vase. Of course, Mortimer can’t resist chiming in with his ghostly perspective… whether we asked for it or not. Info included from the episode: The 'Clair I suggested in the episode was linked to Clairsentience, but this refers more to an empathetic intuition of emotions and energy of spirit. The ability to sense things through touch (holding an object) is actually called Psychometry.  How you can Support Us: We don’t run ads — the best way you can keep the Shack lanterns burning is to:  • Follow/Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss an episode  • Leave a rating & review — it helps more curious minds find us  • Share this episode with a friend who loves strange stories Got a cursed object story of your own?
