Sounds unreal right? Soccer star, Samuel Eto’o, of Chelsea, Barcelona and Everton fame, has purchased an £18.5m Italian villa believed to be haunted by the curse of Tutankhamun.
The property was previously the summer home of Lord Carnarvon, the financial backer of Howard Carter – the man who discovered the Pharoah’s tomb in 1923.
Shortly after, Lord Carnarvon died from a mosquito bite. Then his nephew died from a staircase accident and then a Gucci model disappeared and was never discovered after being very drunk in the property in 2001. The deaths, though dozens of years apart, are believed to be related.
It is thought that during the first century, the Arabs of Egypt believed that opening a mummy’s tomb would awaken him/it and it would attack and kill whoever had the audacity to disturb it. It's not clear how true this is, but many believe it.

So, due to this ancient curse, Eto’o’s new luxury home is laced with danger. Locals claim they have warned him about the perils of buying a house haunted by an Egyptian child but he just doesn’t care. It's a lovely house if you ask me. Hope to get some pictures of the inside later.
