Can you die from a curse?

In 1991, Christopher Case thought it was impossible. A successful music executive from Seattle, he was rational, grounded, and skeptical of the supernatural. But after rejecting a woman who claimed to be a witch, everything changed.

The nightmares started immediately. Then the whispers. The sensation of invisible hands. The crushing weight on his chest every night. Within two weeks, Case had transformed his apartment into a fortress of religious protection—candles, crosses, and salt circles everywhere.

On April 18, 1991, police found him dead in his bathtub. No injuries. No intruders. Just a heart that had stopped from sheer terror.

This is the true story of a man who died of fear—and the question medical examiners, psychologists, and investigators still can't fully answer: was it the curse that killed him, or his belief in it?

Step inside one of the most chilling nights in recent history — the Idaho 4 killings — retold from the perspective of a survivor. This immersive true crime storytelling takes you through the sounds, the silence, and the moments when fear became reality.
