My Haunted Life Podcast

On today’s episode we are talking about just some of the ghosts you can encounter at the Pike Place Market, the world famous Seattle Market where they throw giant fish back and forth. It’s pretty freaking awesome. This place has such a rich history I am barely skimming the surface here, so I’m focusing on the ghost of Arthur Goodwin, the spirit that hangs around Ghost Alley Espresso, and the numer...

On this week’s episode I’m taking you ghost hunting at the infamous Witch’s House in Portland. I didn’t think I would actually find so much on the history on this one but I found a treasure trove. Most of the hauntings appear to revolve around one horrible murder, which I found newspaper stories recounting the tale in graphic detail. I have had so many of you ask me if I got to go to this place af...

On this week’s episode I’m taking you to one of our favorite places in all of Portland, Kell’s Irish Restaurant and Pub.

On this week’s episode, I’m going to tell you the history and hauntings of the Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon. I figured we needed a sweet story for Valentine’s Day.

I was not prepared for how gorg...

On this week’s episode we are going dark and discussing a heavy hitter in the paranormal community, the infamous Shanghai Tunnels of Portland. Trigger warning. It’s real dark. Name a bad thing and it will probably be mentioned today. Human trafficking, sexual assault, drugging, murder, cannibalism, racism. Yeah there’s a lot today. I discovered in my travels in the PWN that there are actually Shan...

On this week’s episode I have my darling friend Bekah from Raven’s Dark Dolls. She is an artist that takes old dolls and puts a spooky twist on them.

On this week’s episode we are going down the rabbit hole of the weird and wonderful world of haunted dolls on E-bay, with my buddy Andrew Cronk of Cronk Art & Curiosities.

This week on the podcast we continue the month of Haunted Dolls with another of the most infamous, Annabelle. This sweet little Ragged Anne Doll has caused a lot of trouble.

On this week’s episode we are delving into the history of one of the most famous haunted dolls in the world, Robert the Doll. This one has always given me the heebee jeebees. Maybe because it’s relatable. Robert has been to blame for people losing their jobs, relationships, deaths, and all sorts of mishaps. He has gained celebrity status from his little home at the Fort East Martello Museum in Key...

On this week’s podcast, we are finishing up our tour of the Texas with an out of the world stop. We went to go see Ned the Alien’s grave and wandered around Aurora, Texas! For the UFO enthusiasts out there, this was like Roswell before Roswell. As the story goes in 1987, a ufo crashed on Judge Proctor's land. The most sensational part of the story is they recovered the pilot, described as Martian...

Hello goblins and ghouls and welcome to another episode of my haunted life podcast, with me, your host, Angela Hartshorn. How is everyone doing this week? This week I’m doing top 10 haunted bathrooms. No real surprise, most of them are found in the UK. I was actually surprised there were so many haunted, and well documented, bathrooms. So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, make su...

On this week’s episode, we are continuing our adventures in Texas with my buddy Rayne and this time we are going to the infamous Goatman’s Bridge. This is an incredibly sad and dark story, full of racism, demons, and even child murder so be prepared for that. I feel like the story of Goatman’s Bridge has exploded in popularity in recent years and it seems like every ghost show or youtuber or podca...

On this week’s episode, I’m taking you to the Screaming Bridge in Arlington, Texas, a creepy out of the way spot known to the locals as a place to hear disembodied screams from long dead teenagers who died on the road. Local legend states that some kids were out celebrating a football game win one night when they collided with each on the bridge. This seemed reasonable enough for me since football...

On this week’s podcast I am telling you about ghost pirates. As you should all know by now I’m a giant nerd and one of my newest obsessions is Our Flag Means Death on HBO starring Rhys Darby, who I would leave my husband for, and Taika Waitka as the pirates Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard. Some people might not realize that these were real guys! I feel like everyone has heard of Blackbeard from the 5...

Ok so this week’s episode was suppose to come out 2 weeks ago but that’s when the death happened so it’s happening now. This week I’m talking to the wonderful Candace Ó Fearáin-Black of the Julian Black’s Arcane Vampire Ball. We are talking about a Colorado vampire legend. Candy has told me this story before but this is the first time we really got to dig into it. And since its semi local we are p...

On this week’s episode I am finishing off the Salem episodes with a little trip to Old Burying Point Cemetery, the oldest cemetery in Salem and the second oldest cemetery in the nation. This is the quintessential colonial cemetery, 400 year old hand carved tombstones, big leafy trees creating long shadows and whose old roots are starting to push tombstones over. It’s immensely beautiful! And incre...

On this week’s episode we are continuing the Salem episodes with The Ropes Mansion. It is a gorgeous, two storied, white colonial mansion with cute little gabled windows. Its close to downtown Salem at 318 Essex Street. The Ropes Mansion housed 4 generations of Ropes family members that lived and died within it’s walls. It saw happiness and a lot of tragedy, which makes sense why it’s one of Salem...

On this week’s and next week’s episode I’m continuing my interview with Rachel Chris-Doane, Director of Education of the Salem Witch Museum. This second part has become the most requested episode ever! I still can’t believe I got her on my little ole podcast. And the second part is just as good as the first! So lets get into shall we? Grab yourself a cup of tea, make sure the doors are locked and...

On this week’s and next week’s episode I’m talking to Rachel Chris-Doane, Director of Education of the Salem Witch Museum. You know the one in the beautiful castle looking structure, that was actually featured in FallOut 4. I still can’t believe I got her on my little ole podcast. As you all know I’m a bit of a history nerd, and Rachel absolutely annihilated most of what I thought I knew and taugh...
