Not only village witches, but also famous people are capable of possessing the "evil eye". For example, Lord Byron was not only a famous poet, but also the owner of mystical abilities.
Pope Pius IX, who lived a century and a half ago, also had a bad reputation. When a priest approached Roman women, they hurried to hide somewhere or simply turned away from the pontiff. So much everyone around was afraid of his gaze. If the Pope promised a good harvest, the peasants knew that they should not wait for the harvest this year.
Pius IX knew that they were afraid of him, but he could not solve this problem. In 1868, a celebration was held in the Vatican in honor of the Pope. This time it was not without "mystical adventures": one of the heavy statues of the pontiff fell, seriously injuring two dozen people.
After Pius IX, Leo XIII was elected Pope. During the reign of Lev XIII, many officials and cardinals went to the next world. The newly elected pontiff was also said to have a bad eye.
Meeting with the gaze of Emperor Wilhelm did not bode well either. One day, Wilhelm came to the city of Castellammare, where the military ship Re Umberto was to be launched for the first time. For unknown reasons, a fire broke out on the ship, and the emperor had to leave it. At the same time, the emperor, according to etiquette, extended his hand to one of the girls - she stumbled, fell into the water and drowned.
The very next day, after the fire on the ship, the emperor had a reception at the Quirinal. As soon as Wilhelm appeared in the hall, a heavy chandelier fell from the ceiling, injuring several people.
In politics and in military affairs, Wilhelm also did not go smoothly. It was enough for the emperor to appear on a certain sector of the front, as the army was defeated. After the Habsburgs began cooperation with Wilhelm of Hohenzollern, a great crisis began in Austria-Hungary. The same happened with the Ottoman Empire.

Emperor Napoleon III of France was also famous for his "evil eye". Once the monarch looked at the coachman, and he died of a heart attack. Those who served at the court of Napoleon III often took their own lives. The valets often lost their minds, and the tailors refused to sew new outfits for the monarch.
