Medical Mysteries - "The Curse of Veneto"
This story is a fan favorite from MrBallen's Medical Mysteries.
In 1983, an Italian man finds himself completely unable to sleep, and when he looks in the mirror, his own eyes frighten him. A sense of doom washes over the man. He knows that within a year, he’ll be dead – because he’s just fallen prey to a centuries-old family curse.
