The Poltergeist Curse Is a Myth — And It’s Harming Real Legacies
I’ve always been mildly annoyed by the so-called Poltergeist curse. YouTube video essays love it. The ominous music. The hushed voices. The grave respectability as they recount tragedies that happened to real people — real lives reduced to spooky footnotes for clicks.
