Albany, New York, is a city layered with history and secrets, where the past still echoes in its grandest buildings. This episode explores three of its most compelling and eerie legends: the tragic, unsolved 1922 mystery of the Parcella Post Baby, a newborn delivered to an undertaker via U.S. Parcel Post. We then delve into the heart of state power at the Capitol, uncovering the hidden Devil's Face carved into the Million Dollar Staircase—a curse blamed for the catastrophic 1911 Capitol Fire that destroyed countless archives and trapped the ghost of night watchman Samuel Abbott in his eternal patrol. Finally, we meet the friendly phantom, Jason, a stonemason allegedly sealed into the State Library's foundation, whose helpful spirit still assists researchers by guiding hard-to-find books off the stacks and into their hands.

In 1692, they called her the Queen of Hell. This is the story of Martha Carrier, the fierce and unyielding center of the Salem witch hysteria's spread into Andover. While others confessed under duress, Martha stood defiant, even when her own children were tortured for testimony. Driven by political fear attached to her mysterious, legendary husband, Thomas Carrier, and condemned by authorities like Cotton Mather, Martha refused to break. This podcast tells the shocking truth of the Andover witch crisis and the incredible story of the woman who chose defiance over deception, even on the gallows.

After a wild October, I'm getting back into the swing of things and digging into some listener questions. From a Boston witch trial, to ghost stories at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, I'm all over the place. Also, I dive into the story of Jim Clinstock, a professional wrestler who was found dying in the floor of a Charlotte, North Carolina dentist office in the 1940s. I also dig into the cursed Annabelle doll that I avoided last month when we were both together in Lexingont! Lots of fun this week!
