The Curse of the Luck Spell | A True Horror Story
True Horror Story | Summary: Gambling addict Hande’s dream of getting rich via a luck spell turns into a nightmare. Affliction by ifrits and the heavy price she paid… A cautionary true horror story.
Hello, my name is Hande. I live in Istanbul. I’m not very sorry for doing these things, but I paid the price very heavily. I am someone who has been interested in betting for a very long time. If I won one day, I lost for ten days; my days passed like this. I worked as an editor at an advertising agency, but I often neglected my work; I was constantly preoccupied with which football players would play in the matches, who was injured, which match’s odds increased. I thought about these things even while working. My boyfriend also complained a lot about this situation, but I didn’t care much. Besides, I can’t say we had a very healthy relationship. Sometimes, as soon as I received my salary, I would bet my entire salary on a match I felt strongly about. When I lost, I would rely heavily on banks and credit cards that month. When I won, I would be quite happy.
I will take you back exactly 7 years ago. I experienced very enjoyable, yet simultaneously very difficult days. I was someone who didn’t like working; conversely, I wasn’t someone who believed money could be earned through working. Working only feeds you. I haven’t seen anyone around me get rich by working either. Sometimes I came across examples on the internet or in the news; I saw people who got rich by working, but it was very rare. Betting was an ideal place for me; I thought, “If I have a little luck, I’ll make it big.”
I did some research on the internet, planning what could be done for luck. Some examples came up: A man in Costa Rica drank mosquito oil from the devil’s hand on Devil’s Island and hit the lottery in America, becoming rich. In Iceland, a statistics graduate combined statistics with football knowledge, became very rich, and bought a club in Denmark. Examples like people in India getting rich through ‘jinn’s hand’ caught my attention. These were a bit extreme; I needed something simpler and more feasible.
One day, a very old friend called, her name was Esra. We arranged to meet. Many years had passed; I was very happy to see her. We started talking about the old days. The conversation eventually turned to marriage. She said she was with a guy named Sercan and they had set a wedding date. When I asked how they met etc., she told me everything. She jumped in and said, “He didn’t love me at all, Hande, I couldn’t catch his attention. But between us, I went to a sorcerer and made him fall in love with me, and now we’re getting married, I’m very happy.” Hearing the word ‘sorcerer’, my interest suddenly peaked. I asked her, “Does the sorcerer cast spells for luck?” She replied, “Maybe, we’d have to ask.”
I took leave from work, and we went together from Istanbul to Muğla. In Muğla, we immediately went to the sorcerer, and I explained what I wanted. The sorcerer said, “Okay, we’ll do a luck spell, but jinn might bother you later, just so you know.” “Okay, no problem,” I said, “We’ll deal with that too.” He handed me a list: “Go buy these from the market. I will also gather some herbs. Come back here in two days, and we’ll do the spell,” he said. Meanwhile, he asked for a considerable amount of money from me. I agreed to pay that too. Kayżu, my own hair, cat’s head herb, underwear I wore, and snake oil… I gathered these and took them to the sorcerer. The sorcerer made a kind of mixture with the herbs he brought. With the materials he received, he gave me two amulet-like things. “Hide one in your home and one at your workplace,” he said. “Whatever happens, don’t check if they are still in place, okay?” he asked. I nodded. He also gave me a small bottle containing a mixture. “Put five drops of this mixture into your drinks every day for a week. You must finish this mixture within a week. After that, your luck will turn, don’t worry. Under certain circumstances, you must absolutely not bet: When you see a black cat on the street, don’t share it with anyone, and make absolutely sure there is no horseshoe around you. Then you won’t have any problems. With this spell you’ve done, a few ifrit jinn will help you. You will trick them with this spell and achieve what you desire,” he said.
What he said seemed nonsensical, ridiculous, but I accepted, “Okay,” I said. I particularly didn’t understand the horseshoe and black cat issue. Still, I had to follow his instructions. I immediately went to Istanbul and started doing what the sorcerer said. I placed one of the amulet-like spells in my home and the other at my workplace. I finished the mixture by adding it to my drinks within a week. I called the sorcerer. “Alright girl, you’re ready now. Let’s see what happens next, good luck,” he said and hung up.
I deposited money into many legal and illegal betting sites. I started analyzing matches from newspapers and my phone. I also listened to commentators and started placing bets. My life began to change; almost every bet was winning! Slowly, I started making small improvements in my life. First, I bought better clothes, shopped constantly, spent excessively. I started to feel happy. Bets kept coming in, and the money in my account increasingly made me smile. Within a short time, all my debts were paid off. I bought myself a very nice jeep. It was literally perfect! Everyone at work admired me. I began to understand that money was power. All the employees’ attention suddenly turned to me. I had become a very different, distinct woman.
Our boss also noticed these happenings and called me to his office. “What’s this charm you have, tell me?” he asked. “It’s nothing,” I said, “I just made some investments and got returns,” I replied. “What investments?” he asked. “I can’t tell you that,” I said and walked away. After that day, my boss started following me constantly; I noticed it. One day, he took the papers from the trash bin under my desk and checked them all, figuring out I got rich from betting! He placed a hidden camera at my desk and started obtaining the bets I placed. I would learn about this much later. Along with me, he also started adding fortune to his fortune. He also had a changing life, but as I said, I hadn’t yet realized he was getting rich thanks to me.
One day, I got out of my car to buy something from the market. Just then, I locked eyes with a black cat! It hissed at me and tried to attack! I quickly got back into my car and drove home. That day, the elevator in our apartment building was broken, and I started climbing the stairs. At that moment, I saw a horseshoe above the gas meters! I entered my home and immediately got under cold water for a shower. Later, I placed bets on the night matches. It was quite late. I went to bed and started to sleep.
From that day on, I began experiencing the worst days of my life. I had terrible nightmares. It felt like someone was covering my mouth and nose, I couldn’t breathe; I woke up with great difficulty. At work, everyone started looking at me and bursting into laughter. Melahat Hanım, who served tea, brought me tea and spilled it on me. “What are you doing?!” I yelled, “I’m ruined!” But when I looked again, the tea was still on the tray, and she hadn’t even served it yet. That is, I started seeing events that hadn’t happened as if they had. I began experiencing sudden sleep episodes at work. One day, when I went to the cafeteria for lunch, I saw some of my colleagues had horns! The human resources manager sitting in front of me, his hair turned completely white, and he turned his head 180 degrees back to look at me! At that moment, I fled from there with a loud scream!
I immediately called the sorcerer and told him what was happening. “They’ve become attached to you (musallat)! You didn’t do what I said! Now you have to find the solution yourself!” he said. I hung up and cursed that excuse for a sorcerer heavily. Then I called Esra and told her everything too. “I’m coming right away!” she said. I got in my car and started heading home. I was seeing very strange things on the road. Black cats started attacking my car! I tried to drive faster, but their numbers increased, and I crashed into a tree! People immediately gathered around me, trying to help, asking if I was okay. “I’m fine,” I said. Just then, Esra called; I told her I had an accident. “Okay, don’t worry, I know a hodja in Istanbul, we must go to him immediately. He will solve our problem. I’ll be there tonight,” she said.
I had the car towed and took a taxi home. I thought I’d take a cold shower to pull myself together, but I felt someone touch me in the bathroom! I immediately got out of there. I went to the living room, but the water was left running. I had to go turn it off. I slowly entered and looked; there was nothing. I turned off the water and immediately fled the bathroom as if escaping. I changed my clothes in my room and went back to the living room. I called Esra. “Come on, where are you? Come quickly!” I said, “I’m scared!” She said she had spoken with the hodja, he was available, the hodja lived in Fatih, and she would pick him up and come right away. “Hold on a little longer,” she added.
I lay down on the sofa in the living room and put the phone by my head. As I wondered, “What am I going to do?” I drifted off, succumbing to sleep. That ifrit jinn came into my dream and started talking to me: “You became a very rich person thanks to me! Now it’s time to pay the price!” it said. It started biting all over my body! “Don’t!” I screamed. I couldn’t quite tell if it was a dream or real, but it felt real! It hurt when it bit! Meanwhile, my phone was ringing on one side, and the doorbell was ringing on the other! I woke up as if falling off a cliff! I immediately checked my body. My lower body was completely swollen! “What happened?” I wondered. I immediately picked up the phone; it was Esra. “Open the door quickly! We’ve been waiting at the door for half an hour! Hurry up!” she said. “Okay,” I said, but I couldn’t get up from where I was! Esra and the hodja broke down the door and came inside. The hodja immediately came in and took a look. “Don’t worry, we will save you from this situation,” he said. “Is there anything related to magic in the house?” he asked. I told him there was something like an amulet and described its location to the hodja. The hodja immediately took it and looked at it. He took a pot from the kitchen, put water in it, burned the spell item, and threw it into the pot. He continuously recited prayers meanwhile. We heard a scream-like sound inside the house! The hodja said, “Okay.” “Is there another one?” he asked. “There’s one at the workplace too,” I said. “We must go there immediately! I will retrieve it from there and free you from this affliction,” he said.
I called the company’s security guard from my phone and asked, “A guest of mine is coming, can you let them into the company?” “I can’t, Ms. Hande, it will be recorded on the cameras, I’m sorry,” he said. I immediately sent a hefty tip to the security guard’s account, and he said, “Okay, let them come right away, I’ll help.” The hodja took a container and a bottle of water with him. He called us from there; I told him the location of the spell item. He burned that spell item there too and came back to us. “Get well soon, my daughter,” he said. “May Allah not let this happen again.” Lying there, I hugged the hodja and wept.
Yes, I was saved now. There were no more dreams or strange visions, but I was paralyzed! I had paid the price for my betting addiction by becoming paralyzed. I quit my job and started fighting for my health. Esra stayed with me for a few weeks and helped me. I found a caregiver for myself. I received physiotherapy for about 2 and a half years. I started walking, albeit with difficulty. I hope to regain my former health over time. Some nights, I continued to live in fear, wondering if it would happen again. Thank God, nothing was happening. I wanted to share all this as a cautionary tale. I hope no one makes the same mistake I did.
