DEATH BY ANTIQUES

DEATH BY ANTIQUES

PALOS VERDE, Calif (Wireless Flash) -- Rest assured: That used bed you bought could turn out to be your death bed. According to L.A.-based feng shui expert Angi Ma Wong, buying antiques can inadvertently cause misfortune, illness and even death. Ma Wong says buyers of antiques previously owned by folks who went bankrupt or died due to illness can become victims of the former owner's bad luck. One woman who purchased a jinxed ginger jar from a lady in legal trouble was later dragged into court herself and one bride and groom who bought antique wedding rings wound up in divorce court. If you insist on buying antiques, Ma Wong suggests purging them of evil spirits beforehand by waving smoke from a herbal smudgestick around the items.
