Description
Is it possible for a whole family to be cursed?Some people think so. In fact, there's one particular family in United States history many have asserted IS the victim of a curse - the Kennedys.From political assassinations to plane crashes to tragic accidents and even murder investigations, the Kennedys have lived under a dark cloud since the mid-20th century. Though blessed with wealth, power, privilege, good looks, and charm, death and calamity has never been far behind this American political dynasty. From the public killing of President John F. Kennedy Jr. to the plane crash death of his son JFK Jr., the Kennedys have seen enough darkness for some to claim they are "cursed". But is this true? And if so, where did the curse originate?Carrie takes us through the events spanning the curse and dives particularly deeply into a very grey area in the Kennedy timeline - the Chappaquiddick Incident, a 1969 car accident that left one woman dead and the driver, Ted Kennedy, wondering "whether some awful curse did actually hang over all the Kennedys." ________________________________________Connect with us on social media:Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscaryTwitter: @aintitscaryInstagram: @aintitscaryPatreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary___________________________________________Thank you to our sponsors:BetterHelp - Special offer for Ain’t it Scary? listeners: Get 10% off your first month at www.betterhelp.com/aintitscaryAudible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-Day Free Trial at www.audibletrial.com/aintitscaryBarkBox - Enjoy a FREE month of BarkBox on us when you sign up for a 6 or 12-month BarkBox subscription!
