The Police Directorate of Dubrovnik-Neretva confirms that they received the information about the drowned man. Accurate information will be available after the inspection, and a police boat is also sent to Lokrum.

This case became especially interesting because of the location where everything happened. This is a curse linked to this island, which is one of the greatest mysteries in the world.

This entire incredible story begins in 1023 when most of the wooden houses burned down in a fire in Dubrovnik on the day of Saint Benedict. 

Everything was going in its own way while the inhabitants of Dubrovnik lived well and had gold. And then the difficult times came. Napoleon arrived and asked for a loan for his army. Fearing from war, people of Dubrovnik granted the loan, but the French had no intentions in returning it. 

The old saying - May god give that you have and then have not. They decided to sell Lokrum. The condition was to take everything from Benedictans. And so it began.

Benedictans had to say farewell from their centuries-old residence.

The Curse

They left the island after 800 years and they never returned. It was in 1798. Five years later, rulers of Dubrovnik, Gucetic, Sorkocevic, and Pucic are selling this island to private hands for 60.000 gold coins. But the curse was already started.

Sorkocevic jumped through the third story window of his palace, Gucetic drowned in the sea near Lokrum, and Pucic hanged himself in the attic of his home.

The next owner of the island, the rich captain from Dubrovnik, Tomasevic, completely impoverished him, and he had to sell the island.

The cursed island is then bought by certain Dr. Jakopovic from Budapest, but it was soon discovered that he wasn't a doctor but he just falsely represented himself, and he was just a barber. The island was inherited by his nephew, who drowned as soon as he started sailing to it in a boat.

After that, the island was bought by the brother of the emperor Franz Joseph I, Archduke Maximilian for himself and for his wife Charlotte. However, Maximilian left for Mexico where he was tortured and killed, and Charlotte returned to the island. She barely survived the shipwreck and eventually, she committed suicide not far from Trieste.

The next victim was the king Otto Friedrich Wilhelm (Ludwig II), lover of queen Sisi - Elisabeth of Austria and the mother of Archduke and heir to the throne Rudolf. After the summer on Lokrun, he found out that the Council of Ministers proclaimed him mad and overthrew him. He was found dead in the lake next to his property.

The last owner of the property of Lokrum was Habsburg princess Windisch-Graetz, who sold the island to the government of Yugoslavia for 11 million dinars in 1919.

But the curse did not stop. One whole family disappeared on Lokrun in the 1930s, reports Jutarnji.hr.
