Something that brings bad luck

I believe the answer is:

hoodoo

(Other definitions for hoodoo that I've seen before include "Witchcraft" , "bringer of misfortune" , "Bad luck some people bring" , "Thing or person thought to bring bad luck" , "Fetish - charm with magical powers" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
