• Collab with Low Ancestry
    Nov 6 2024

    In this special collaboration between the Low Ancestry and Haunting History podcasts, Karyn Harding of Low Ancestry shares the compelling story of her third-great-granduncle, Edward Hargrave. Born in London's Shoreditch neighborhood, Edward emigrated to the United States and enlisted as a Union soldier during the Civil War. His service led to his capture by Confederate forces, resulting in imprisonment at both Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia, and the notorious Andersonville Prison in Georgia. These prisons were infamous for their overcrowded and harsh conditions, with Andersonville alone accounting for nearly 13,000 Union soldier deaths due to disease, malnutrition, and exposure.

    Cat of Haunting History delves into the dark histories and reported hauntings of both Libby and Andersonville prisons. She explores the harrowing experiences of prisoners subjected to overcrowding, disease, and malnutrition, leading to high mortality rates. Cat shares the enduring legends and paranormal activities associated with these sites, where visitors and staff alike have reported unexplained phenomena, suggesting that the spirits of those who suffered may still linger. Can one of them be Karyn's ancestor?

  • The Conjuring House P1
    Oct 23 2024

    In this episode, we delve into the true history behind the infamous Conjuring House, officially known as the Arnold Estate in Harrisville, Rhode Island. While the property has long been associated with ghostly legends and tragic stories, much of what we think we know is rooted in folklore rather than documented fact. We explore the tales of the Arnold family, including the mysterious deaths of Prudence, Johnny, and Sarah Arnold, as well as the infamous Bathsheba Sherman, separating historical truth from Hollywood fiction. Join us as we uncover the real story behind the Conjuring House’s dark reputation.

In the late 1980s, the Snedekers moved into a former funeral home in Southington, Connecticut, only to be confronted by a series of disturbing and unexplained events.
