These cars were dubbed “haunted cars” for causing a series of mysterious deaths that have yet to be solved.

It is thought that haunted cars only exist in movies, but in reality, there are many deadly tragedies related to cars that science has yet to explain. Below are stories related to 3 “haunted” cars that once made people panic.

The 1910 Double Phaeton of the Austrian Prince

The story of this “deadly” Double Phaeton originated from the death of the Austrian Prince Franz Ferdinand while on his way to the city of Sarajevo. At that time, the Austrian Prince was assassinated by a man named Cavrilo Princip in his beloved 1910 Double Phaeton.

After the assassination, this 1910 Double Phaeton changed hands 15 times in just 12 years. Even more strangely, during this time, more than 13 people died mysteriously in unexplained accidents. The last owner of this 1910 Double Phaeton suddenly swerved off the main road while traveling to a wedding with 5 companions.

This unexpected turn caused a tragic accident and took the lives of all 6 people in the car. It is rumored that this car was cursed by a certain ghost. Currently, this 1910 Double Phaeton is on display at the Museum of Military History in the capital of Vienna, Austria.

James Dean’s Porsche

Hollywood actor James Dean is known as a speed enthusiast and once owned a collection of expensive racing cars, including the Porsche 550 Spyder. Despite his experience in driving many types of racing cars and his excellent driving skills, James Dean unfortunately died while driving the Porsche 550 Spyder.

It is known that the actor’s Porsche 550 Spyder was involved in a tragic accident while on the way to a competition in Salinas, California, USA.

The Porsche 550 Spyder was later restored by its new owner, the famous fashion designer George Barris. However, it seems that this car has become a symbol of bad luck when it continuously encountered a series of different accidents. Even on the way back to its new owner, the Porsche 550 Spyder slid off a truck, crashed into the road and broke a mechanic’s leg.

The car was then resold to an amateur racer and almost killed him in a race. Not stopping there, another racer was also killed when the shell of this Porsche 550 Spyder suddenly exploded during a race.

This Porsche 550 Spyder also injured a teenager and killed an elderly man after it slid down the road during transportation. The Hollywood actor’s old car mysteriously disappeared in the back of a truck while being transported from Miami, Florida to Los Angeles, California and was never seen again.

The Dodge 330 in the US

The story begins when this Dodge 330 was purchased by a police department in Maine state for patrol purposes. It is known that only 3 police officers used this car. However, after using the car, 3 police officers of the unit all killed their families and then committed suicide for unknown reasons.

The Dodge 330 was later transferred to another local owner. However, the thrilling story surrounding this Dodge 330 has not stopped.

Many believers in the local church secretly destroyed the car because they believed that it would only bring death to the people in the town. The thrilling story happened when all those who participated in destroying this car met a tragic end. Two of them died after being run over by a tractor-trailer, two others were hit by a car, and four were killed by lightning.

The last victim of the Dodge 330 was a family with young children. Just a few weeks after the Dodge 330 was sold to a new owner, the family’s child murdered the entire family and their dog and burned down the entire house. It is believed that the Dodge 330 was “possessed” from the beginning and brought only death to its owners.
