My Haunted Life Podcast

Welcome to the Haunted Life podcast! I'm your host, Angela Hartshorn, and today we're diving into a spooky mini-episode. Join me as I share a fascinating story from Fort Smith, uncovered during my recent research.

Discover the eerie history of the Clayton House, a home that has seen everything from Civil War amputations to political intrigue. Built in 1852, this historic house has served as a hospital, boarding house, and now a museum, with many believing that some of its past residents never truly left.

Learn about the ghostly figures said to haunt the Clayton House, including a cat, a tall man in boots, and a woman in a brown dress. We'll explore the chilling experiences of visitors and staff, from slamming doors to moving porcelain dolls.

Don't miss this spine-tingling episode, and stay tuned for more ghostly tales next week. If you're in Denver, come visit me at the Oddities and Curiosities Expo. Stay spooky!

Good morning, goblins and ghouls, and welcome to my Haunted Life podcast. I'm your host, Angela Hartshorn, and this week we have a spooky snippet. I found this really insane freaking story out of Fort Smith when I was doing the Fort Smith Museum of History and the National Historic Site, which is coming up next week. So I wanted to share this with with you. It's a bit brutal. Heads up. This newspaper article I found is a bit graphic. Murder, decapitation, that kind of thing.

Before I get into it, I just want to remind everyone that you can still register for the It's Coming virtual premiere. I am so excited. I have my tickets to New York. I can talk all about it now. I've been going through the little video clips that Tanya has sent me from the Witch Daily show, the one that I'm like, been invited out to help her with this. I'm so excited. And honestly, these clips, you guys. I will be sharing them over the next little bit, so keep an eye out for that. But yeah, like, this poor family and this... I have not seen the movie yet. I want to see the whole thing so much.

So if you haven't been following on the Facebook group, I got invited out to help do this Q&A virtual premiere with my friend Tonya from the Witch Daily show of It's Coming, which is this documentary about a family who's basically plagued with demons. Demons. And from the clips, it looks like how they tried to go and get cleansing and how the family is dealing with it, especially the children. Anytime there's demonic activity in children, it's always so heart-wrenching.

So if you haven't registered yet, make sure you do so. So you'll be able to ask questions and some of them might actually be said to the family. They might appear on the podcast because both me and Tonya will be recording it. So there will be that possibility. So yeah, definitely make sure you register. All the links are in on the Facebook page, but I'll also include them in the actual show notes for this one too. So there's no missing it. Yeah, make sure you do that. I guess that's my one housekeeping. I know we don't usually do housekeeping on spooky snippets, but I want to make sure as many of you can get involved as possible.

Welcome back to My Haunted Life podcast! I'm your host, Angela Hartshorn, and today we dive into a spine-chilling tale shared by a dear friend. This story involves a mysterious family heirloom, unexplained noises, and eerie occurrences that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Trigger warning: we do discuss infant death in this episode, so please listen with care.

In this episode, my friend recounts an unsettling experience his mother had with a seemingly haunted piece of infant clothing. Passed down through generations, this layette was meant for the firstborns of the family. However, it carried with it more than just family tradition—it brought along whispers of a tragic past and unexplained phenomena.

From thuds in the night to high-pitched metallic screeches, this story unravels with twists and turns that make it worthy of a horror film. You'll hear about how this layette mysteriously moved around the house, causing a series of frightful events that led to a dramatic conclusion. Was it a spirit attached to the layette, or something even more sinister?

So grab your favorite fall drink, lock the doors, and settle in for a haunting story that will make you question the presence of unseen forces in your own life. 

On this week's episode, I am telling you about the horrific attack on the Upstairs Lounge in New Orleans. A gay bar where 29 people burned to death and three later died from their injuries, making it the worst loss of homosexual life in the country until the Pulse nightclub attack. This one is rough, graphic, terrifying, and heartbreaking, but it is so important to remember these people who were lost to history because of who they loved and the bigots that were against them.

Join me as I delve into the history, the tragic events of that night, the community's response, and the hauntings that followed. We will also discuss the importance of remembering these stories and the significance of Pride Month. Grab yourself a dollar for beer bust, make sure the doors are locked and a loved one is close by. I have a story to tell you.

Welcome to an engrossing episode of 'My Haunted Life' podcast with Angela Hartshorn. This episode will take you through Angela's spine-tingling experiences at Hotel Park Central in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The hotel, once a railway hospital and later, a psychiatric facility for children and teens, bears an uncanny past despite its luxurious refurbishments. Tune in as Angela shares eerie tales and ghost sightings in this haunted hotspot.

Experience goosebumps as Angela, equipped with a razor-sharp sixth sense, recalls her unsettling feelings of being watched during her stay at the hotel. The suspense deepens as she reveals how her intuition linked her with past reports of guests encountering similar paranormal phenomena. This journey doesn't stop at mere experiences, she delves deeper into the building's histories, even tackling theories about the resident lady-ghost haunting the premises.

This podcast episode takes you on a chilling journey, encompassing the detailed findings of Los Muertos Spirit Seekers, a local paranormal group. Listen in on the unexplained whispers heard in the dead of the night, the chilling presence of a female apparition, and mysterious scratches. Despite the denial by the hotel management, the tales of inexplicable occurrences continue to thrive.

Angela's riveting narrative will grip your attention, blurring the line between the past and the present as she journeys into the world of unexplained phenomena powered by the flashlight technique, described as a gateway for communicating with the supernatural. Despite its transformation into a vibrant hotel, Hotel Park Central's eerie past still lingers, making it an attractive destination for those daring enough to expose themselves to the supernatural.

On this week’s episode, we are celebrating Walpurisnacht, halfway to Halloween or Samhain, the night before Beltane, the night the witches gather on top of Mount Brocken in Germany and dance and revel all night. This area is famous for it’s myth and legends and I have found some good ones to share with you.

So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, make sure the doors are locked, and the sage is close by. I have a story to tell you. 

Now to the Brocken the witches ride;

The stubble is gold and the corn is green; 

There is the carnival crew to be seen,

And Squire Urianus will come to preside. 

So over the valleys our company floats,

With witches a-farting on stinking old goats.

-from FAUST, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

This week, finally, I’m finishing up the story of Alice Crawford Snow. If you haven’t listened to part 1 I recommend you do. There’s a lot of nuisance to the history that we are going to start talking about in this episode but this is the episode where everything goes a little ape shit. Last time we ended with Alice being found in a burning bed so we are going to talk about that and the ensuing mystery and followed Alice for the rest of her life, and her afterlife. 

So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, make sure the doors are locked, and the sage is close by. I have a story to tell you.
