Cursed letter written by nun claiming to be possessed by Satan has been translated, and it's terrifying

Here's a story worthy of a horror film script. In 17th-century Sicily, Isabella Tomasi, who later became Sister Maria Crocifissa della Concezione after entering a convent, is said to have written an indecipherable letter dictated by... Satan! Its contents were deciphered centuries later, thanks to the power of computers.

Written using codes, ciphers and other esoteric symbols, this manuscript remained a mystery for a long time until its contents were decoded by a group of Italian computer scientists, according to The Times.

Using software unearthed on the dark web, in 2017 they were able to translate the strange writings delivered 340 years earlier by the sister. And what they discovered is perplexing.

A letter straight out of a horror film

Among this jumble of signs, which borrow from various known alphabets, the computer experts have managed to decipher around fifteen lines talking about God and the Devil, and essentially saying that God is man's invention. In these writings, the sister also notes that this religious system 'wouldn't work for anyone'.

In her letter, Sister Maria also refers to the River Styx, which separates the earthly world from hell, and which, according to her, really does exist. 'Totally incoherent', this text above all highlights the obvious suffering of a woman suffering from a major psychological disorder of the order of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

Nonetheless, the letter is rather chilling, and the story sounds strangely like the script for a potential horror film!
