I believe that it is a demon from hell because I was born and raised in New Orleans and there will always be the practice of voodoo and other satanic rituals. I think it could be someone who purposely brought it from hell or someone who accidentally mess up a ritual and conjure a demon. New Orleans is a very dark place and I advise you to respect the people down there because you would never know a curse could be put into your life.

There were serial killer cards back in the 80's or 9it's, but people were so offended by the idea of treating serial killers as if they were heroic baseball players, that enough people complained and the cards were pulled from the market.
