The Conjured Chest Curse

from Ghosts In The Valley

Send us a textJacob Cooley was a plantation and slave owner just outside Frankfurt Kentucky around 1840. Jacob beat his slave Hosea to death after Hosea built a beautiful Chest for Jacob and his wife's new born baby. Jacob didn't like it which resulted in the beating. The other slaves were furious over this and one of the slaves was a conjured slave which could place spells and curses on people. A curse was placed on the chest that Hosea built so all future generations of Jacob's descendents would be cursed. And soon after the chest was put in Jacob Cooley's baby's room, the baby died a few days later. And so it begins. Curse number one. 17 deaths total. Listen and find out how the curse was lifted, or was it, and where the chest is today. Me being a Cooley myself, and having Ancestors that were plantation and slave owners back around that time and place, worries me a bit.
