    Small Frights Friday: I Scream You Scream

    We all scream because we're having a hard time! On this week's episode we explore grief through memorializing loved ones from ice cream rituals, to Northern Lights sightings, to poetry, to ancestral research. We keep those we've lost alive with storytelling and memory swapping.  Mentioned on the episode: Micum McIntire Clan Association If you would like to be a part of our series on grief, please write or call in with personal stories, memories, and/or ideas relating to memorializing loved ones after they pass, rituals for honoring the dead, Halloween as a conduit for connecting with those you’ve lost, and how Halloween or a general interest in darker topics has helped you process difficult times. You can reach the All Hallows Hotline at 802-532-DEAD or write an eeeekmail to itsalwayshalloweenpodcast@gmail.com. And as always we continue to welcome any and all personal Halloween history stories, recommendations, creative ideas, art, or questions.  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to It's Always Halloween on Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ It's Always Halloween Gift Membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Order The Raven Record + Zine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Order The Lantern's Way #2⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Order The Lantern's Way #1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IAH Spotify Playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow It's Always Halloween on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Local Lantern Society⁠
