About this listen
Why are some people told to avoid poinciana trees at night?

In this episode of Jinxed, Ting is joined by comedian Leon Filewood to explore the urban legend of the Poinciana Woman.

Together, they unpack where the story may have come from, compare ghost stories from around the world, and ask why the Torres Strait Islands can feel especially eerie after dark.

They're also joined by animator, visual artist, lecturer and researcher Christie Widiarto, who shares her work on the Indonesian folklore figure the Kuntilanak. She chats about how ghost stories travel across cultures and continents, why so many of them centre on women, and how these stories can become a way of processing grief and preserving cultural memory.
