In this episode of Shadows of Siam, we travel to Chiang Mai’s Old City, where in June 2006, a French energy healer named Séverine Charbonnier vanished after a late-night appointment at a home rumored to be cursed.
No struggle. No blood. No body.
Just her journal. Her crystals. A cassette recorder.And one final line—
“The house resists.”
We’ll explore:
Who Séverine was, and why her healing work drew clients from all over the world
How she became entangled with a powerful Thai businessman
The dark reputation of the house on Soi 7
Her chilling journal entries—and the last words ever found
The theories ranging from cover-up to spiritual retribution
This isn’t just a disappearance.It’s a collision between belief and power.Between energy and resistance.Between a healer… and something that didn’t want to be healed.
