Top answer

To "cast a chill" (over something) means to do or say something that makes a situation feel bad, or makes people feel gloomy or uncomfortable (or, in some contexts, filled with dread). ) Your sentence seems unusual. I can't imagine ever asking someone to please not "cast a chill" over me.
