The Bound Woman is the ghost of Susan LeGrow and the third ghost to be featured in The Black Zodiac.
Biography[]
Susan LeGrow had a privileged life and was a member of her school's cheerleading squad. Her parents were the richest people in town, thus instantly making her the most popular girl at her school. Susan had a tendency to flirt and toy with any man she chose, leaving a long trail of broken hearts.
During her Senior year, Susan dated the captain of the school football team, Chet Walters. When Chet caught Susan cheating on him with another boy on the night of the Senior Prom, he clubbed the boy to death before tying Susan up and strangling her with his tie, breaking her neck. He buried her body under the 50-yard line of the school football field. The very next day, the boy's battered body was found and Susan was reported missing. Her body was found two weeks later. Chet was arrested for her murder and put on death row. His final words were "The bitch broke my heart, so I broke her neck".

After Death[]
Following her death, Susan's spirit remained bound to earth and was later captured by Cyrus Kriticos to become The Bound Woman. The Bound Woman was then moved to the basement of Basileus's Machine with the other eleven ghosts.
The Bound Woman is the third ghost to be released. Right after her release, The Bound Woman haunts Bobby and lures him into the basement, before approaching him from behind and scaring him away.
Later, a Latin chant causes The Bound Woman, along with the other eleven ghosts, to go to the center of the machine and power it up. When The Bound Woman and the other ghosts are freed from the trance, they throw Cyrus into a rotating crest of rings. The house then explodes shortly after, destroying its walls, and freeing The Bound Woman and the other eleven ghosts.
