A Strange Incident During The Filming Of Titanic Caused Hysteria And Emotional Outbursts

Rubbing elbows with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, followed by dinner with James Cameron. This is fame. But is the room supposed to be spinning like that? Everything’s so blurred and cloudy. Sounds fill the air, first hysterical laughs followed by uncontrollable crying. Then you realize they’re both coming from you — and the world drops away from beneath you as you fall.

Dark discovery

The Titanic movie went down in history as a Hollywood masterpiece but it wasn’t always so popular. In fact, when the cast started to behave bizarrely, the film nearly didn’t hit box offices at all. The incident soon became so serious that people were hospitalized. And when the cast called in police to investigate the officers made a chilling discovery.

Angry spirits

So what could’ve caused such strange reactions? Well, that depends on whom you ask. The more broad-minded among you may even whisper the words “curse.” We wouldn’t blame you for considering such an outlandish explanation, either. After all, Titanic isn’t the first movie to produce swirling rumors of angry spirits.

Unsinkable

Take Poltergeist, for example — a series of misfortunes befell its cast and crew, including great tragedy. Some believe that the name Titanic carries a similar curse that strikes anyone and anything attached to it. Considering the fate of the allegedly “unsinkable” ship, then, were the events behind the movie proof of malicious supernatural intent?

Mummy's curse

In fact, a month after the Titanic sank, The Washington Post printed a conspiracy theory about how an Egyptian mummy’s curse had followed one of the passengers aboard and doomed everyone on the ship. In truth, though, the alleged remains were never in contact with the Titanic and instead remained in London — but the story reached newspapers nevertheless.
