Ep.1 - The Legend of Octavia Hatcher

I MUST FEED THE ALGORITHM WHEN THE ALGORITHM FEEDS ME

I'm just loving your podcast, your voice is a soothing balm of bliss 😊❤

Very Interesting.

yeah this rules

ALL HAIL THE ALGORITHM! Thank you for sending me this podcast 🖤

I don't think I've ever heard the name Octavia Hatcher before now, but I do remember the story of the lady who was buried alive. I looked up a picture of her monument. It looks like just the hand holding the umbrella was broken off. The child effigy is on the grass before her. You gave a lot of interesting intrigue that filled her story out nicely, and respectfully. Aren't diaries a treasure trove? I always feel a wistful sense of loss when I come upon them in antique stores. I feel compelled to buy them, as they should be saved for posterity, but I resist because there is something very creepy about having a stranger's diary. Hauntingly creepy.

Comforting. Oddly. That's how i feel about anything Victorian...especially the macabre.

My new favorite youtube/podcast!

Oh my gosh I’m SO glad I’ve found your channel! I don’t use Spotify but I might now. This is fantastic. My uncle was an attendant at a hospital morgue and he was there when a dead ‘un sat up demanding a steak and a beer.😮 I can’t help thinking the self opening mechanism wouldn’t be of much use it you’re buried, you’d be opening against dirt. Omg you have to think of those with Narcolepsy. Urgh. I love this channel!!! Subbed and sharing🖤 How gorgeously macabre and melancholy🖤

your voice is so soothing

I listened to this episode over on Spotify so that i could give the podcast a rating. Did you know that those graveyard bells are where the term "Saved by the bell" came from?

God forbid something like this should ever happen to someone, of course...BUT: If I DID manage to claw my way out of a premature-burial situation, in a town where local family, friends & general populace all already had knowledge of my 'death'--boy howdy, you had better BELIEVE I would milk that situation for ALL it was worth, showing up at someone's door, soiled grave-raiment and all, 'Monkey's-Paw' style at midnight! 😱🤪

Why didn’t they just drain the blood? I’d want my blood drained before being buried.
