👻 Can a ghost actually take a life? Or is it all just folklore, fear and a few too many fainting couches?
In this new episode of The Paranorm Girl Podcast, we explore cases where ghosts were blamed for causing death — whether by indirect harm, psychological torment or pure spectral malice. We consider the legend of the Widow Ghost of Southeast Asia, haunted highways in Britain, deaths linked to grave desecration in Texas — we’re diving into real-world hauntings, historical documentation and medical mystery, today.
On today’s show:
🪦 The Black Hope Curse and the angry ghosts of a bulldozed cemetery
🧠 Brugada Syndrome and the solved mystery behind a long-time ghostly murder spree
👻 The Gjenganger and Gast of Scandinavian and Norwegian folklore
🛏️ Scared to death — the power of belief, suggestion and fear

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
