Natalie (Megalyn Echikunwoke) is the main villainess from "Whispers," episode 1.03 of Ghosted (airdate October 15, 2017). She is a police officer who was at Whispers, a resort in Tampa, on the case of a murder.
Leroy and Max first saw Natalie while they were at the resort working undercover following the death of a man whose heart was removed (though the body was intact). Her first official encounter with the pair came following the sudden death of Keith Jorgensen (who Leroy and Max were investigating due to Keith being at the scene of a similar death in Hawaii), and it was there that Max attempted to pair up Leroy with Natalie. Shortly afterwards, Natalie became taken by Leroy, leading to a sexual encounter.
However, when Max went into Keith's room, he saw photos that revealed that he was on the trail of what really committed the murders: a succubus. Among other things, Max learned that the succubus was a shapeshifter who had a distinct tattoo mark, which was Sumerian for "smoke." He suddenly remembered seeing the mark on Natalie, which revealed Natalie as the succubus. She had been seducing men and killing them, and she later killed Keith when he was getting too close to the truth.
Max interrupted Leroy's tryst with Natalie to warn him about what he had learned, only for Leroy to discredit him. Regarding the tattoo, Natalie claimed she got it at Spring Break 15 years ago, seeing it on Blake Lively's blog, and attempted to discredit Keith as a recovering drug addict. When Max corrected Natalie about the release of the blog, the villainess revealed her demonic form by flashing glowing red eyes. Following her reveal, the evil Natalie placed Leroy under her spell and instructed him to kill Max, who later revived him by singing his favorite song. Natalie attempted to kill Leroy, only for Max to grab his "head-on-a-stick" novelty and stab her with it, leading to Natalie falling over a balcony to her (presumed) death--though Leroy and Max did not see Natalie's body when they looked down.
