After moving her bed to face the closet mirror, a 23-year-old student in Chiang Mai began to notice strange things—whispers at night, shadows that only appeared in the glass, and a reflection that blinked... wrong.

In Thai culture, mirrors aren’t just reflective surfaces. They’re thresholds—especially dangerous when placed across from the bed.

This episode explores the chilling true account of Lila, a Thai-German exchange student, and the supernatural descent that followed a simple shift in furniture.
With insights from spiritual forums, Buddhist monks, and Thai real estate discussions, we uncover a belief rooted deep in Southeast Asian tradition—and what happens when it’s ignored.

There’s a room in Bangkok that doesn’t exist.

Not on the elevator. Not on the emergency exit map.
But locals know. And they warn you: “Don’t ask for Room 313.”

In this episode of Shadows of Siam, we uncover the urban legend and spiritual dread behind Room 313—a space erased from hotel records but never forgotten by those who survived a night inside.

We’ll explore:

• The backpacker’s eerie journal found in a Sukhumvit alley

• Thai numerology and why the numbers 3 and 13 are feared

• The maid who left barefoot and never came back

• Hidden hotel architecture and the theory of “ghost rooms”

• Spiritual sealing rituals, mirrored gateways, and a psychic’s warning

• The vlogger whose footage glitched… and later suffered a stroke

This isn’t just a haunting.It’s a place where reality warps—and something else waits.

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.

In this episode of Shadows of Siam, we travel to the misty hills of Chiang Rai, where in June 1993, a forest monk named Luang Pi Anan stepped into Wat Luang Cave for a silent meditation retreat—and was never seen again.

No body. No signs of struggle. Just a candle. A folded robe. And a silence that still hums through the cave today.

We’ll explore:

• Who Luang Pi Anan was, and why he was revered across northern Thailand

• What happened during his final tudong meditation retreat

• The mysterious findings inside Wat Luang Cave

• The local beliefs about naga spirits, sacred cave energy, and “the great disappearance”

• Why villagers believe the monk didn’t vanish—he transcended

This isn’t just an unsolved case. It’s a spiritual enigma that blends ancient beliefs, sound phenomena, and the boundary between life and enlightenment.

In August 2000, 23-year-old Kirsty Jones set out on the adventure of a lifetime—a solo journey through Southeast Asia. Intelligent, compassionate, full of life, she arrived in Chiang Mai hoping to soak in the calm beauty of northern Thailand. But within days, she was dead.

Raped. Strangled. Left in her guesthouse room with no witnesses… and no answers.

For nearly 25 years, the murder of Kirsty Jones has haunted investigators across two continents. Promising leads vanished. DNA sat unmatched. And key evidence—including the guesthouse logbook—mysteriously disappeared. Was this a random attack by a stranger? Or did the killer walk those narrow halls unnoticed… and trusted?

In this episode of Shadows of Siam, we return to Room 4 at the Aree Guesthouse, retracing the final hours of Kirsty’s life, the investigation that unraveled in real time, and the haunting question that still lingers:🔹 Why was her case mishandled so badly?🔹 Who had access to her locked room?🔹 And why, decades later, has no one been held accountable?

Step back into the shadows of Chiang Mai—and into one of Thailand’s most chilling unsolved murders.

Would you invite a spirit into your home… if it promised you wealth, power, and protection? In Thailand, there’s a ritual that blurs the line between devotion and darkness—one that begins with a child’s whisper… and can end in tragedy.

Meet the Kuman Thong — the "Golden Boy." What looks like an innocent figure hides a chilling history. Rooted in ancient Thai black magic, these statues were once believed to house the spirits of unborn children, bound through forbidden rituals. Kept in homes, they were offered toys, sweets, and even whispered to like living children—all in exchange for good fortune.

But there’s a catch. Neglect them, and they grow restless. Disrespect them, and they turn. Stories tell of Kuman Thong statues that moved on their own, demanded offerings, or worse… sought revenge when forgotten. This week, we dive deep into the terrifying truths behind Thailand’s most haunted talisman, the Kuman Thong, and the cursed rituals that should never have been performed.

Thank you to my incredible research team for unearthing the dark corners of Thai folklore and magic for this episode.
