This is something my brother thought: when we were kids we once went on this camping trip to a lake with dad. At one point we saw this presentation about the history of the lake, and the person giving the presentation mentioned how the Native American tribe that once lived there had shamans that could put a curse on someone "through powers of suggestion". The next morning, I remember my brother was talking to my dad about it and he asked how you could put a curse on someone by "considering (???) something".
