A couple days ago in my US History class, we discussed a certain topic related to the Native American tribes. Long story short, during the war of 1812 , natives sided with the British and lost and died , some witch doctors put a curse of the president saying that every of 20 years leaders will die.
Let's see...
William Henry Harrison, who was elected in 1840, died of pneumonia at the age of 68, exactly one month after his inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln, first elected in 1860, was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth just after embarking on his second term in office in 1865.
James A. Garfield won the 1880 election. He was shot in the back in a Washington railroad station waiting room in July 1881 and died of his wounds in September 1881.
William McKinley was re-elected in 1900. In September 1901, after giving a speech at an exposition in Buffalo, he was shot while shaking hands
with wellwishers. McKinley died of his wounds a little more than a week later.
Warren G. Harding, elected in 1920, expired of a stroke or heart attack in 1923. It was long rumored his wife had poisoned him.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, re-elected in 1940 for a third term, suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage and died just after having started an unprecedented fourth term in 1945.
John F. Kennedy was elected in 1960 and assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963.
Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980 but managed to cheat the Grim Reaper by a matter of an inch, the distance by which would-be assassin John Hinckley's bullet missed his heart in 1981.
Maybe Reagan also broke the "every 20 years" curse. My teacher told me that his wife had prior knowledge of this "curse" and took precautions just in case and got some people who dealt with that supernatural stuff to come break the curse.
Do you think this is real or just a coincidence?
