The Curse of Isildur is a very interesting subject. Isildur, a mortal man, dooms an entire army of men to walk the world as wraiths for thousands of years.

That particular curse is discussed elsewhere (see link above), but what other examples of curses are found in Middle-Earth or the Undrying Lands? Who was the curser, who were the cursees and how powerful were the effects?
