Episode 16: The Cursed Basano Vase

The Basano Vase is made of carved silver and was most likely created in 15th century Italy as a wedding gift for an Italian bride. On her wedding night, the new bride was found lying on the floor, dying, and clutching the vase to her chest. With her dying breath, the bride promised to return and seek revenge. No one knows exactly how she died, but now, the legend goes that every person who has owned the vase since has died within a three-month period. Where is the vase now? Why has it killed so many people? Listen to find out!
