    Cooley's slaves, led by an old "conjure man," placed a curse on the chest for all future generations. One drawer was sprinkled with dried owl's blood, and a "conjure" chant was sung. All those associated with the chest would fall within the curse's evil power

    >During the middle of the 19th Century in South Carolina, Jacob Cooley murdered a slave named Hosea for building a chest which did not meet his standards. Hosea’s fellow slaves took revenge, asking a conjurer to curse the chest – leading to the death of 17 people close to Cooley, including his first-born son.

    Yes. And the last of these died in 1945 ending 100 years o' slaughter. Proving the powerz of teh curss.

    The Curse of the Oppressed.

    I taught it to them. Took pity on them, since they were treated a lot how women were treated back when I was younger.
