Do you believe in curses?

One Canadian woman has recently returned 5 artifacts she took from Pompeii 15 years ago, saying they have plagued her with bad luck ever since. She sent the artifacts back with a letter that explained she was young and dumb at the time and wanted to have a piece of history that couldn’t be bought. Since returning to Canada she has suffered two bouts of breast cancer and her family has faced a lot of financial trouble.

This isn’t the first time this has happened. In fact, so many visitors have returned small artifacts stolen from Pompeii that there is an entire display of their letters at the Pompeii Antiquarium!
