American fans of the Emmy Award-winning series "Downton Abbey" are flocking to Hampshire, England to take a tour of the real grand residence behind the fictional Abbey, Highclere Castle, and what they're finding is an off-screen taste of the on-screen drama -- sort of.
In the 1920s, George Herbert, the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, who was born in Highclere Castle, died under mysterious circumstances months after discovering the tomb of Egyptian King Tutankhamun. Others involved with the excavation are said to have suffered strange deaths, as well. Now there are those that believe the castle itself is under the "Curse of Tutankhamun."
