Hosting a few hundred dead Pharaohs for the past 5000 years, the rumor that the Valley of the Kings is haunted should come as a surprise to no one. A pharaoh in a chariot has been seen roaming the valley as well as perceptions of strange noises such as footsteps, screams and shuffling without a source. Watchmen believe these are the spirits of the deceased whose tombs have been desecrated. Now they are looking for their treasures which are, largely, crammed in the Egyptian Museum a few hundred miles away.
On top of that, the "Mummy's curse" has made Tutankhamen's grave site a creepy place. Upon financing the discovery of the site, Lord Carnation died before he could harvest the fruits of his investment due to an infected mosquito bite on his neck. The later inspection of Tutankhamen found a similar wound on the young Pharaoh. Howard Carter, the archaeologist who found the site, died due to chemicals used in the chamber after it was discovered. Hence, his greatest discovery was also his doom, spreading more superstition over the apparent curse on the tomb. These accounts are super scary albeit highly controversial.
