A Sleeper Car to A Silver Mine

Send us Fan Mail Trigger Warning: There are stories of both murder and suicide in this episode. Krys tells the story of George Pullman and the city Pullman Illinois. Pullman was not a fan of the amenities available for passengers on trains. So he decided to change this, in doing this he made a change to the way that people thought of train accommodations. The catch of this was those new cars were leased to the actual rail companies. Pullman continued to pocket the money. Due to his success, he decided to make a utopian city in Illinois. Let’s just say that it didn’t go according to his plans, cue riots and lawsuits. The town is now a park but visit at your own risk. Tori heads back out to the Nevada desert to cover the Old Tonopah Cemetery. This old west cemetery was only in use for ten years and spawned many legends and tales. Tonopah was the site of another mine in Nevada which pulled folks in from all over. This graveyard has been thoroughly investigated by multiple paranormal investigators and their teams. The cemetery has a famous next door neighbor, the nightmare fueling Clown Motel. This is one the only places that Tori says she will refuse to visit.
