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.

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.
