On a night in November 1967, Independiente fans entered into rival Racing Club’s stadium in Argentina and secretly buried 7 dead black cats in different locations.
Racing Club who had previously won 15 league titles and an Intercontinental Cup that very night in 1967, failed to win any other trophy for the next 35 years!
Voodoo Level ?
Eventually, Racing club learned about the curse of the cats and started digging round for them. They found 6 but couldn’t find the 7th. Even an exorcism by a priest failed to lift the curse. Until finally in 2001, the 7th cat was found. And guess what? That same year, Racing Club won the league title.
Wonders shall never end.
