It seems like every single day some new cursed item appears out of thin air.

Whether it’s a horrifying attempt at a celebrity wax figures or another unbelievably botched art restoration, these cursed items pop up everywhere. But unfortunately for everyone, comedian Guy Kelly has actively decided to be haunted by asking his Twitter followers to share the ugliest things that they own.

“Something so vile and awful that you can’t get rid of it, because you know you’ll never own anything as ghastly ever again,” he requested.

So people granted Guy’s wishes and started sharing their ugly items ranging from figurines to paintings, even lamps. But for some reason, these items, while truly ugly, were more cursed than anything else.

For example, @nimbus_nought shared a photo of a figurine he found in his grandma’s house while clearing it out. And, honestly? The little porcelain doll with a pained face playing guitar definitely has the soul of a 73-year-old shoemaker who wronged the wrong witch trapped inside.

Then @lucyayrton upped the anti and introduced us to her “evil shell cat” which looks like the type of thing you see in the corner of your room when you have sleep paralysis. The cat, which is made entirely out of shells as the name suggests, even looks like it has a little Hitler moustache. I told you, cursed.

People also used the opportunity to share the cursed paintings they have hanging around their homes. In what is probably the second most cursed medium known to man, each painting has eerie elements like rainbow bubble babies and melting children. Totally normal subject art.

Above all else, all the figurines and puppets people started sharing were the worst of all by far. From jars of pickled “people” to eyeless dolls in ye olde crochet bonnets, each and every doll has a murderous quality about them.

However Guy’s request did yield all bad responses thanks to @josierustle. After Guy’s tweet started gaining attention Josie explained that her grandparents had some “horrible Punch and Judy-esque characters made out of real lobster claws”.

After returning to her grandparent’s house, she took some snaps of the strange characters that were just how she described: horrible. Horribly beautiful. Hanging off a piece of wire glued into an orange seashell, the lobster boys just dangle with a non-threatening aura. Beautiful, honestly.
