The Jack of Hearts was a cursed card in a deck. A gambler got his hands on it in a seedy tavern. As he played cards with it, he noticed the Jack's face getting angrier. His opponents started to have bad luck - one even fainted. That night, the gambler saw the Jack of Hearts in his dreams, chasing him through a dark maze. When he woke up, the card was on his chest. He tried to burn it, but it reappeared in his pocket. Eventually, he threw it into a well, but he was haunted by the fear of the Jack of Hearts for the rest of his life.
In an abandoned mansion, there was a deck of cards scattered on a table. The Jack of Hearts was the most prominent. A group of teenagers exploring the place decided to take the card. Bad things started to happen. They had nightmares of the Jack of Hearts leading them to a cliff. One of them even got lost in the woods near the mansion. The card seemed to have a life of its own. It would appear in different places around their homes. They finally buried it in a graveyard, hoping to end the curse, but they always felt a sense of unease, as if the Jack of Hearts was still watching them.
