Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing  Channel on the Internet. I am your host Rebecca
  Felgate and today, by popular demand, I am  bringing you the Top 10 Cursed books part
  2.  *what is the scariest book you have ever read?
  I just listened to Salam's lot on audiobook  by Stephen King.
  Comments section down below. Like & Share.  10 - Real life Death Notes
  Death Note is a Japanese Manga series written  by Tsugumi Ohba. The story is about a high
  school student who comes across a mysterious  note book, the death note. He soon finds that
  he can use the notebook to kill people, by  simply writing their names down. The series
  was actually adapted into an American movie  – its on Netflix. Anyway, a LOT of teenagers
  have been inspired by the Manga series and  the film and have started their own Death
  Note books in real life. There have been countless  incidents, for example in 2007 Pingtung County
  in Taiwan saw a string of Death Note inspired  issues. In 2015, a middle school student in
  Pennsylvania was suspended for making his  own Death Note book and writing the names
  of 15 students in it. Some people say the  story of Death Note stems back to some truth,
  too, with legends circulating that in ancient  Chinese civilisation, the yellow emperor had
  a notebook of death.
  I actually have to thank one of our subscribers  for bringing this book to my attention – I
  was reading the comments on the top 10 cursed  books part one and one of our subscribers
  highlighted this to me – thanks Kim Jana  for the recommendations.
  9 - The Book of the Sun of Gnosis  This is a 13th Century Grimorie containing
  Arabic magic spells and provides guidance  for the afterlife. The book is all about demons
  and jins and evil beings and despite being  a highly influential text in the Arab and
  Muslim worlds, it has long been banned in  a lot of Islamic cultures for its subject
  matter. The book allows the reader to communicate  with spirits but that doesn't always mean
  good spirits….
  8- The Cursed Babylonian Tablets  Babylon was said to be an ancient city in
  what is present day Iraq. The Babylonian Era  ran from 1895 BCE to around 7 BCE, so hundreds
  of years. Back in those days, books weren't  really a thing. Instead, people read from
  inscriptions on tablets – so rocks, or stones.  These tablets were often known to carry a
  curse. A Babylonian king placed a curse on  a set of clay tablets back in the 7th century
  B.C.E – having his text inscribed with:  Whosoever shall carry off this tablet, or
  shall inscribe hisname on it, side by side  with mine own, may Ashur and Belit overthrow
  him in wrath and anger, and may they destroy  his name and posterity in the land. It turns
  out that actually, these tablet curses were  pretty common. Because reading material was
  hard to find, ancient people often tried to  safeguard their property by claiming it was
  cursed… basically…it was the ye olde way  of making sure little twerps didn't steal
  your things.
  7 The Babadook Book  There was a time when the book from the 2014
  Australian Horror movie, The Babadook, was  fiction. The book in the movie is cursed and
  or haunted as it is constantly delivered to  Amelia and Oskar's home. In the movie, the
  book depicts the horrifying events that are  about to befall the family in a creepy pop
  up style. Now, movie lovers have gone one  step further and demanded the illustrator
  turn the fictional book into a reality. That's  right, you can buy the haunted book for yourself.
  Following a successful crown funding campaign,  Insight Editions was chosen to create a limited
  run of 6,000 books. I think its a cool idea  but I am not sure if I would want that in
  my home!! If it's in a word or its in a  look, you can't get rid of the babadook.
  6 - Portrait of a Marriage – Curiosity Incorporated  I was trying to do some research into lesser
  known haunted books because I guess only the  bigger stuff makes headlines – there MUST
  be just like… you know… average ghosts  haunting average books out there… and it
  turns out I was write! I found a video by  small up and coming youtuber curiosity Incorporated
  and he is an antiques trader. He made a video  called "Saga if the haunted book, who knew
  books could be so creepy" in which he talks  about how he bought a bunch of old books off
  a dealer and as she left, she basically turned  round to him and said one of them was haunted
  so watch out! Wow. The book is called Portrait  of a Marriage by Vita Sackville-West and Harold
  Nicolson. It seems the spirit had an attraction  to the book. The antiques dealer said – I
  certainly wouldn't want to be the guy who  got stuck haunting this book…. So far, he
  hasn't mentioned any further weird goings  on.
  Forget about one spooky book, all of the books  in this Library are plagued by a pesky spirit
  -  5 - Leeds Library Ghost
  Leeds, Yorkshire, England. One of my favourite  places. Yorkshire is steeped in ancient history
  so you'll regularly hear ghost stories coming  from this area of the UK. The Leeds library
  dates back to 1768, so is older than the USA!  The ghost haunting the premises is said to
  be the first ever librarian of the building  – Vincent Sternberg. In 1844, the new Librarian,
  James Macalister came face to face with the  ghost of Sternberg as he worked late. The
  ghost is said to linger most frequently around  the old books and in 2012 researcher Jeremy
  Dyson spent 12 hours in the library documenting  the hauntings. He uploaded a really interesting
  and revealing video to youtube that actually  captures some of the ghostly goings on in
  the building. Another investigator, Sean Reynolds,  captured a ladder moving along a bookshelf
  at the library.
  4 - Necronomicon pop up Nightmare Book – featuring  Cthulu.
  Anyone who loves the Evil Dead franchise will  know about the fictional Book of the Dead,
  the Necronomicon. This book of the dead has  actually long since mentioned in literature
  – possibly first in 1924 in HP Lovecraft's  The Hound. Either way, Poposition Press have
  taken it upon themselves to turn the Necronomicon  into a truly terrifying pop up book. The book
  has 5 pop up scenes including pull tabs and  depict moments from the five original Evil
  Dead stories - The Dunwich Horror, The Shadow  Out of Time, The Call of Cthulhu, At The Mountains
  of Madness and The Colour Out of Space.  They may not actually be cursed like the source
  material…. But I have to say the images  will haunt my nightmares forever.
  Muggles Beware at number 3 this Grimoire will  get you.
  In 2013 two hand written spiral bound spell  books, or Grimoire's, sold for 13 thousand,
  865 dollars in Toronto via AbeBooks.com. A  Grimoire is a witches spell book and in generally,
  It is believed that the books must be burned  after the death of the witch else they become
  cursed. These Grimoire's appear to have  been written in the 1960s by a high priestess
  of wicca called Adrastea Eirene, an American  witch with English and Swedish ancestry. It
  is not known whether or not the witch who  wrote these books is alive or dead, but the
  opening pages of both of the texts contained  a warning that said: To those not of the craft
  – the reading of this book is forbidden!   Proceed no further or justice will exact a
  swift and terrible retribution – and you  will surely suffer at the hand of the craft….
  So basically, no muggles allowed.
  This depressing book led to a spate of suicides  2 The Sorrows of Young Werther
  The sorrows of Young Werther is a best selling  book written by a 25 year old – Wolfgang
  Von Goethe. The book was published in Germany  in 1774 and is a semi autobiographical tale
  of a failed romance told via letters from  a man named Werther to his friend Wilhelm.
  When Werther finds out his love has married  another man, he borrows two pistols and shoots
  himself, although he botches it and it takes  him a grueling 12 hours to die. The book led
  to some of the first known examples of copycat  suicides. Men would dress in the same clothing
  as Goethe's description of Werther and use  a pistol to shoot themselves. Often the book
  was found at the scene. After the books publication  and the spate of copycat suicides, sociologists
  began to suspect suicide may be culturally  contagious.
  At number one, this is the most interesting  thing I learned today…… One author cursed
  himself and everyone involved in its publication  when he wrote this book because he is now
  the target of a serious Iranian murder plot….  Salman Rushdie and the curse of The Satanic
  Verses  Salman Rushdie received a very very very intense
  response from the muslim community for his  fourth novel, the Satanic Verses. The book
  In fact, the response was so intense that  a Fatwa was ordered. For those of you that
  don't know what that is, it is basically  a death order – the currently value of which
  is thought to be 3 million dollars. Issued  by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the former
  supreme leader of Iran, Rushdie became the  target of a Muslim murder order. It wasb;t
  just him, either, the Iranian government demanded  the death of the author AND "all those involved
  in its publication." While Rushdie wasn't  hit, Hotoshi Igarashi, the books Japanese
  translator was stabbed to death in 1991. the  Italian translator, Ettore Capriolo was also
  stabbed in July 1991 but he survived. The  Norwegian publisher, William Nygaard was shot
  three times in 1993 but survived and it is  thought the Fatawa was behind a deadly fire
  at a hotel in Turkey in which 35 people died.  Salaman Rushdie is still alive but he is still
  under police protection as some Muslims still  want to kill him. Fatwas can only be retracted
  by the person that issued them, and Khomeini  is dead.
  So guys that was the top 10 cursed books you  should never read part 2! I found this list
  really interesting and I hope you did too.  Comments from part 1
  A lot of you told me that you are reading  both the Catcher and the Rye and Fahrenheit
  451! Hopefully you'll stay sane – I'm  just joking – with Fahrenheit it was just
  one edition that caused all the issues, and  with the Catcher and the Rye hopefully it
  was just coincidence.  DJI129 said: I'm reading Harry Potter and
  the prisoner of akazaban?  Good on you!
  Imogen Cross said: I'm reading and writing  my own book called two hearts one love?
