The friend, known for his interest in witchcraft, allegedly attempted to use the necklace as part of a "love hex" spell intended to make Barrus fall in love with him.

Story summary

Kit Barrus, a 28-year-old OnlyFans content creator, discovered a beaded necklace labeled "FOR KIT" hidden inside her home after hosting a casual game night. She suspected that one of her friends, who has a fascination with witchcraft, placed the necklace to cast what is commonly known as a "love hex." Barrus threw away the necklace out of fear it might work and she would develop romantic feelings for him. The friend had previously shown interest in spiritual books during visits to his dorm room. Online resources indicate that such necklaces are made with intentions to influence someone's feelings, but there is no verified evidence to support their effectiveness.
