*. James Dean's car curse
In September 1955, James Dean was killed in a
horrific car accident whilst he was driving his
Porsche sports car. After the crash the car was
seen as very unlucky.
a) When the car was towed away from accident
scene and taken to a garage, the engine slipped
out and fell onto a mechanic, shattering both of
his legs.
b) Eventually the engine was bought by a doctor,
who put it into his racing car and was killed
shortly afterwards, during a race. Another racing
driver, in the same race, was killed in his car,
which had James Dean's driveshaft fitted to it.
c) When James Dean's Porsche was later
repaired, the garage it was in was destroyed by
fire.
d) Later the car was displayed in Sacramento,
but it fell off it's mount and broke a teenager's
hip.
e) In Oregon, the trailer that the car was
mounted on slipped from it's towbar and
smashed through the front of a shop.
f) Finally, in 1959, the car mysteriously broke
into 11 pieces while it was sitting on steel
supports .
A falling baby, saved twice by
the same man
In Detroit sometime in the 1930s, a young (if
incredibly careless) mother must have been
eternally grateful to a man named Joseph
Figlock. As Figlock was walking down the street,
the mother's baby fell from a high window onto
Figlock. The baby's fall was broken and both
man and baby were unharmed. A stroke of luck
on its own, but a year later, the very same baby
fell from the very same window onto poor,
unsuspecting Joseph Figlock as he was again
passing beneath. And again, they both survived
the event. (Source: Mysteries of the
