Cursed Well of Liverpool

In 2016, archaeologists discovered an ancient well near Liverpool that was believed to be cursed. A priory of 12 monks looked after the well, which had ties to the medieval cult of St. Anne and was associated with healing wells. In the 16th century, a dispute over well ownership led to a curse by the priory's Father Delwaney, resulting in his own sudden death, financial losses for the rival Hugh Darcy, and the latter's tragic demise at the bottom of the well a year and a day later.
