šŸŽ» The Violin That Plays Itself

Every note it plays brings death closer.

By MUHAMMAD DIYANPublished 5 months ago • 1 min read

Most instruments bring music, joy, and emotion. But some carry something darker… something that refuses to be silenced.



šŸ•Æļø The Birth of the Cursed Violin

In the 1700s, an Italian violin maker was said to have crafted an instrument with blood mixed into its varnish — not paint, not dye, but his own blood. He wanted the violin to hold his ā€œsoul,ā€ ensuring his music would live forever.

When he died, the violin didn’t go quiet. That’s when the nightmare began.



šŸŽ¶ The Unholy Melody

Owners of the violin reported hearing music in the middle of the night, even when the instrument lay untouched in its case.
Soft, sorrowful notes at first… then violent, frenzied screeches that no human hand could play.

Some said the strings would tighten and loosen on their own. Others claimed they saw the bow moving across the strings, pulled by invisible hands.



ā˜ ļø The Curse of Its Owners

Every musician who owned the violin met a tragic fate:

One fell ill and died days after performing with it.

Another vanished, leaving behind only the violin on his chair.

The last known owner was found dead, his fingers sliced open as if the strings had fought back.




šŸ‘» The Belief Behind the Curse

Folklore says music is a language the dead can understand. A cursed instrument becomes a doorway — and every note you play invites something through.

That violin wasn’t just wood and string. It was a prison for a restless spirit, and each performance gave it strength.



šŸ•·ļø The Violin Today

No one knows exactly where the cursed violin is now. Some say it was locked away in a museum vault. Others believe it still changes hands in secret auctions, tempting musicians who crave perfection… but at the cost of their soul.

So if you ever hear music drifting from an empty room, the sound of strings being played when no one is there…
Pray you don’t follow it.
Because once the violin chooses you, it never lets go.
