When you think of Canada, you think of kind helpful, generous, hard working people. The sort of people who would gladly give you the shirt off their back if you were cold, give you their last piece of bread if you were hungry, and welcome you inside. It’s hard to imagine that Canada is also home to Willie Pickton, one of the most vile serial killers ever known.

The dream for any archaeologist is to find something that will change history forever. Remnants of ancient civilizations can change how we view the past. Relics can open our eyes to the beauty of the world. And while most who do this work are in it for the love of history, and ancient culture, there are some that just want that treasure. In some of those cases, fail-safes have been put in place, such as the mummy’s curse.

Imagine this. You just bought a new home for your family. The price was unbelievable, but real, and you quickly move in. But things are not all rainbows and unicorns. You start seeing and hearing things. The air suddenly smells strange, and when a priest comes over, a voice shouts, “Get out!” Less than four weeks later, you have no choice but to abandon your new home, and all your possessions, never to return again. The story of the Amityville House is one many of us have heard. We’ve seen the movies, read the books, discussed the likelihood of whether it’s real or not. One thing we can say for certain, is that the house the Lutz family moved into, did not come without its own history.

They were a churchgoing family, and were enjoying life.
In early February 1987, they purchased a bunk bed at a second-hand shop. They assembled it and stored it in their basement. Within weeks, their children, who had rarely been sick, suddenly were sick all the time. They were in the doctor’s office regularly, sometimes even all three at the same time. That May, they decided to move the bed upstairs, a decision they would later come to regret.
