The English word you are looking for is JINX and the Turkish equivalent

is uğursuz kimse (for people) or uğursuz şey (for things)

 

hope it helps!

I think "bahtı kara" is a good translation. It literally means one whose fortune (destiny, luck) is black (bad). It can be used for someone who has bad luck, but for "uğursuz" would be a better translation to refer to someone who brings bad luck.

Imo "bahtı kara" means more like the person suffers from his unlucky fate rather than bring bad luck unto others.
