The Burns Murder: A Chilling Tale from Fort Smith
Thursday Sep 19, 2024
Thursday Sep 19, 2024
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.

However, it carried with it more than just family tradition—it brought along whispers of a tragic past and unexplained phenomena.

Was it a spirit attached to the layette, or something even more sinister?

Friday Jun 14, 2024
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.
