Stories abound across the internet of the famous Jacob Cooley's chest, a furniture that carries an evil curse that plagued a Kentucky family for over a hundred years. S.B Pearce and her husband, William, set off on a road trip to look at this nefarious home furnishing as they discover more details that truly bring the story full circle. In a a surprise twist, it wasn't Jacob Cooley's chest after all. It was Moses Graham's, as researched by Virginia Cleveland's grand-daughter: Beverly Kienzle, PhD of the Harvard Divinity School at Harvard University. Sounds like the curse was not just a short story but a real haunting as experienced by generations of the same family.
