Many stories from history involve those who have brought upon themselves ill fortune by their endeavours. Cursed Histories investigates these frightening tales from the past. And I’m one of the experts so make sure to watch the Super Channel in Canada over the next few weeks to catch this amazing series.
The show was nominated in the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards and the producers, Go Button describe it thus:
Was it bad luck? Or something more sinister? Harrowing tales linger like a poisonous cloud around places, people and objects that seem fraught with misfortune. A cursed item, a dangerous locale, or a dread-filled warning spark a series of tragedies and hardships. Too disturbing to be coincidence, what’s the truth behind history’s most macabre timelines?
As we separate myth, legend, and lore from reality, we break down the most dreadful of curses. From an insect-like man who brought tragedy to a small town, to a bloody signature that spelled disaster for a whole city, history brims with stories of wickedness inflicted on the living. What’s the truth behind the stories of the afflicted — whom did curse victims unwittingly anger? And what set off a dark chain of events.
