The Woman from Lemb Statue
Originally
made around 3500 B.C.E. in Cyprus and then found in 1878 in Eastern
Europe, this statue has killed so many people its often referred to as
"The Goddess of Death." Supposedly, the first owner was a Lord Elphont,
whose seven-member family all died within six years of Elphont receiving
the statue. The Woman from Lemb was then acquired by Ivor Manucci, who
died along with his entire family within the next four years. Then it
went to a Lord Thompson-Noel. He and his family died. The statue
disappeared for a bit, but its next confirmed owner was Sir Alan
Biverbrook, who wife and two daughters shortly croaked. With two sons
left, Biverbrook wisely donated the damn thing to the Royal Scottish
Museum.
