That would be the curse of King Tut's Tomb.

The 'rumors' on King Tut's Tomb and the opening of it were possibly proven as simple folk-lore and 'rumor':

"No Tutankhamun Curse - it's Official"

Seems a "ancient fungal spores are called Aspergillus genus. The deaths and sickness's were caused by inhalation of these spores. These spores are very toxic and if untreated, result in death" were the causes of the deaths.

There is a legend in Colombia called El Dorado, which is supposedly cursed.

Both Joseph Smith and his father were involved in the occult practice known as "money digging." This involved special rituals and ceremonies which were performed for the purpose of obtaining buried treasure thought to be guarded by evil spirits. Accounts of money digging during the late 1700s and early 1800s are documented in Alan Taylor's article "Treasure Seeking in the American Northeast, 1780-1830", published in American Quarterly, 38 [Spring 1986], pp. 6-34. This article specifically mentions Joseph Smith, Sr., and Jr., on pages 10-12, giving examples of their money digging activities. LDS seminary teacher Grant Palmer also documents the Smith family's occult beliefs and practices, as well as those of their close associates, in his book An Insider's View of Mormon Origins, (SLC, Signature Books, 2002, pp. 175-195).

No curses, just bad freaking luck! Thomas Rhoads and Brigham Young applied for and got a sizable land grant just outside of Kamas, between what is now the Uintah National Forest and the Uintah-Ouray Indian Reservation. However, the following tidbit of information leads me to believe the mine is not within the boundaries of the land grant. Rhoads had a long and happy understanding with the Ute indians. According to the family's account of things, Thomas visited the mines alone, and was allowed to remove all the gold he could carry. It is rumored on his first trip to the mine ( a fourteen-day round trip) he pocketed 61 lbs. of gold. The keyword here is alone. There was no mincing of words when it came to this rule. Thomas might not die, but any tagalongs were toasted by the indians.

Later, Thomas introduced his son Caleb to "Tabby", the Ute Chief, and gained permission for his son to work the mine in his stead. Relations fell apart between everyone, when the Utes started taking livestock after an expecially hard winter. By 1861, Brigham Young actually asked Abraham Lincoln for, and got, US Army assistance to push the Ute indians back to what is now the existing border of the Uintah-Ouray Indian Reservation. Chief Tabby personally broke off relations with the Rhoads. Now, it seems to me, if any white man of the time were told to not work a mine, not on indian land, he would have laughed his butt off as he broke out his mining equipment. This did not happen. Why? Because the mine is still within the boudaries of the Reservation, but close enough to ride there, bag sixty-plus pounds of gold, and ride back in two weeks. On horseback, no less.
