What car accident in Massachusetts in 1969 was spoken in depth about by Ted Kennedy, including a reference to the Kennedy curse?
Kennedy curse The Kennedy curse is a term for the series of misfortunes involving members of the Kennedy family of the United States of America. While Ted Kennedy publicly wondered whether a "curse actually did hang over all the Kennedys" during his own testimony about the Chappaquiddick incident in 1969, skeptics have argued that many of the events are normal, and it is not improbable that a large extended family would experience them.
Seattle windshield pitting epidemic The Seattle windshield pitting epidemic is a phenomenon which affected Bellingham, Seattle, and other communities of Washington state in April, 1954; it is considered an example of a mass delusion. It was characterized by widespread observation of previously unnoticed windshield holes, pits and dings, leading residents to believe that a common causative agent was at work. It was originally thought to be the work of vandals but the rate of pitting was so great that residents began to attribute it to everything from sand flea eggs to nuclear bomb testing.
