When the girl awoke in the hospital she knew she was dying, she was told that they guy she'd been with had died in the accident and so had the couple in the other car. She begged a nurse to tell her parents that she was very sorry she'd disobeyed them, the nurse just looked at her. After the girl died another nurse asked why she hadn't said anything with the teen had asked her to give the message to her parents.

The Fatal Boot Over a hundred years ago, a cowboy shot a rattlesnake. It wasn't dead, so he stomped it to death. Within a few days, the man took ill and died mysteriously. When his son was grown, he proudly took his fathers favorite boots as his own, a few days later he turned grey and died. His wife had been pregnant at the time, and when her son was grown she gave him the boots, telling him "You're father and your grandfather died in these boots, take good care of them." A few days later he died. Finally someone noticed that in the heel of the boot was the rattlesnake's fang, and it had enough venom left for several more generations.

The Shadow Cross An atheist who was training for the olympics had been given special pool priveliges at the university he was attending. Late one night he was considering the arguments a religious friend had been confronting him with as he climbed the high-dive for a little late-night practice. He stood on the board and prepared for a backward flip when he noticed the shadow he was casting on the wall formed a perfect cross in the partially-lit room. Shaken, he sat down on the board to think. As he sat there a maintenance worker came into the pool area and turned on the rest of lights and the diver saw that the pool had been drained for maintenance.

The Titanic The construction of the ship was at such a fast pace that at least one worker was accidentally walled up in hull and left to die. Catholic workers in Belfast almost stopped construction on the ship because the hull number 3909 04 seemed to spell out "NO POPE" when viewed in a mirror. A cursed mummy that had already caused several deaths was in the cargo hold when the ship sunk. The Titanic was the first ship to use SOS as a distress call. |
