October 23, 2025
A remorseful German tourist who had taken some volcanic rocks from a Spanish national park sent the pilfered mementos back to the site because he believed that his misguided actions had cursed him. According to a local media report, the Timanfaya National Park in the Canary Islands recently shared the peculiar tale on social media, explaining that they received the repentant package a few years ago. Along with the stolen items, the tourist included a handwritten letter with a rather chilling explanation for the surprising delivery. "I have heard legends that say extracting volcanic rock from its source brings bad luck," the tourist said, "and I fear that has happened to me."
