Has Ghost cursed an NBA team? At least one employee at Orlando’s Kia Center seems to think so.

In a case of musical “Satanic Panic” crossing over to the world of sports, a Reddit user recently posted a theory about the recent struggles of the Orlando Magic basketball team after the Tobias Forge-led Ghost played a concert at the team’s home venue.

The post was initially shared on Reddit but has since been deleted. However, The Noise managed to capture it before it was removed and has since shared it on their social media. The post went up right after the Orlando Magic lost at home to the Charlotte Hornets on January 22, with the author expressing disappointment at the quality of play and proposing the theory that Ghost’s “super Satanic vibes” had somehow left some bad mojo in the building after their concert earlier in the week.

Why Did a Kia Center Employee Think Ghost Cursed the Orlando Magic?

In the now-deleted post titled, “Kia Center Needs Holy Water,” the author wrote, “So I work at Kia. The night before we got blown out by Charlotte, there was a concert there by this rock band called Ghost & I’m not even exaggerating super satanic vibes.”

Describing the performance, the author noted, “Devil imagery, stained-glass church setup, chanting ‘Lucifer,’ all types of weird stuff I’m not into at all. I was mad as hell I was forced to sit through that lol.”

He then proposed, “So my theory is that whatever energy they left in the building carried over into the game because there’s no other explanation for how bad we looked. Is this a valid excuse or are we just inconsistent? Either way … let’s get this W tonight.”

What Has Happened With the Orlando Magic Since?

Whether due to bad juju or simple inconsistency, things have not improved for the Orlando Magic. They proceeded to lose their next home game on January 24 to the Cleveland Cavaliers 119-105 and then traveled to Cleveland for their next game on January 26 where they lost again 114-98.

This brings the Orlando Magic’s record to 23-22 for the season, placing them eighth in the Eastern Conference as of press time.

Ghost, meanwhile, has been winning everywhere as they approach the final stretch of their Skeletour. They have shows scheduled in Uncasville, Montreal, and Toronto this upcoming weekend. Toronto is the only one of those markets that hosts an NBA team, so we’ll soon see if the alleged curse is transferable. Otherwise, the barely above .500 Magic might just be “inconsistent.”
