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.

Hello, goblins and ghouls, and welcome to my Haunted Life podcast. I'm your host, Angela Hartshorn, and today, we're talking about something truly terrifying: Furbies. Frequent contributor and fellow adventurer, my buddy Rayne, joins us as we share personal Furby stories and discuss why these weird little robot creatures sometimes give us the creeps.

So grab yourself a cup of tea, make sure the doors are locked, and the batteries are close by. It's time to delve into the world of creepy Furbies!

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.

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.

On this week’s episode I’m telling you the harrowing tale of Alice Crawford Snow. There’s a pretty good chance you have never heard of her. Now if you are from the same area of Colorado as I am, you have probably heard of her sister, Emma Crawford, the namesake of the Manitou Springs Coffin Races. Alice was your classic Victorian spiritualist with her own spooky story that almost took her life. And we are talking about the theories behind the mystery, spiritual delusion, suicide attempt, or demonic possession. Now there was so much going on here that I decided to make two podcasts! 
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.
