Interview With The Owner of Sleeper Mortuary
The Sleeper Mortuary was established in 1886 by Lyman Sleeper. Allan Sleeper became his father's business partner in 1902. Sleeper mortuary had two devastating fires. One in 1902 and one in 1915. The fire in January of 1915 devastated the business and the loss was listed at $20,000. Unfortunately, Lyman Sleeper passed away on August 7, 1915. At the time, Sleeper Mortuary was located at 106 N. Washington (just a few doors down). There are newspaper articles that also indicate that it was also located at 108 N. Washington. It is unclear if the address was changed on the building itself or if they moved the mortuary next door. The owners that I bought the property from had purchased it in 2016. In early June of 2024, I toured the property and I fell in love with it. There were so many treasures that were left behind from the days that it served as a funeral home. The previous owner graciously left those items with the property. The entire first floor of the property was left as it was. I purchased this property in 2025 and I am also choosing to keep the property as I found it. As a paranormal author, paranormal investigator, and as a human, preserving the stories of the dead is very meaningful to me. The part that I love the most about the books that I write is sharing the legacy of those that passed so that it doesn't get lost in decades of old newspapers. I had been looking for a location to call my own for years. A wise man once said "you don't choose the building, the building chooses you". I never really understood that until that day. I knew that I had to have it and I felt it needed to have me. I chose to name the building Sleeper Mortuary because that is where this story begins. I am going to continue the story of this building and I hope that someone continues the story after me. I look forward to sharing the history and stories of the building that have been created so far. Thank you for taking the time to look at this webpage and I hope that I get the pleasure of meeting all you very soon! https://sleepermortuary.weebly.com/history.html Join us as we sit down with Tory from Sleeper Mortuary to learn all about its haunting persona.

Ghost Gossip and the Boo Hag
Have you ever heard of the Boo Hag? No we are not talking about Ghost Gossip, but she does join us on this episode to talk about this very interesting cryptid. In Gullah folklore, boo hags are similar to vampires. Unlike vampires, they gain sustenance from a person's breath, as opposed to their blood, by riding their victims. Hags who were "witches" sold their souls to the devil and had the power to change into animals and insects and drain their victims' spiritual essence. Jacob Stroyer, born enslaved in South Carolina in 1849, wrote about hags and conjurers on a plantation in South Carolina. According to his autobiography: The witches among slaves were supposed to have been persons who worked with them every day, and were called old hags or jack lanterns. Those, both men and women, who, when they grew old, looked odd, were supposed to be witches. Sometimes after eating supper the enslaved would gather in each other's cabins which looked over the large openings on the plantation, and when they would see a light at a great distance and saw it open and shut they would say 'there is an old hag,' and if it came from a certain direction where those lived whom they called witches, one would say 'dat looks like old Aunt Susan,' another said 'no, dat look like man hag,' still another 'I tink dat look like ole Uncle Renty.' When the light disappeared, they said that the witch had gotten into the plantation and changed itself into a person, and went around on the place talking with the people like others until those whom it wanted to bewitch went to bed, then it would change itself into a witch again. They claimed that they rode human beings like horses, and the spittle on the side of the cheek when one slept was the bridle that the witch rode with. If enslaved people did not have a Bible, they sprinkled a mixture of cayenne pepper and salt in the corners and around the room to protect themselves from boo hags. Items or surfaces in haint blue were also used to ward off haints and boo hags. The Gullah story of the boo hag was passed down through generations of families on the islands of Georgia. Between 1930 and 1940, the Federal Writers Project recorded stories for historical preservation. The WPA Slave Narrative Collection includes tales of boo hags from formerly enslaved people, as recorded in accounts in the book Drums and Shadows (1940). While boo hags are a product of Gullah culture, the legend has become known on a wider scale. The legend has been used as an object lesson in stranger danger. The legend has also been the subject of song and poetry. An expression sometimes used in South Carolina is "don't let the hag ride ya." This expression may come from the boo hag legend. In 2005, a boo hag became a character in a children's book called Precious and the Boo Hag by Patricia C. McKissack and Onawumi Jean Moss. In the story, the boo hag is said to be strange and tricky, and it does anything to get into the house. Precious, the main character, is told by her brother that the boo hag also "...tries to make you disobey yo' mama!" In Black Wings, Grey Skies by Hailey Edwards, a boo hag has gone rogue and starts killing children and the occasional adult. A group of boo hags decides to help the main character bring the villain down. The book Hush Hush by Remy Wilkins has the antagonists attempting to open a portal in a hurricane in an attempt to summon the boo hag. Lady Night, a kind of boo hag, appears as a character in Tristan Strong Destroys the World, the second book in the Tristan Strong series. The 2024 horror film The Geechee Witch: A Boo Hag Story (directed by Jeremiah Kipp) tells the story of a young couple oppressed by a boo hag.

Kraken Cans and the Flatwoods Monster
The Flatwoods Monster, also known as the Braxton County Monster or "Braxxie," is a famous West Virginia cryptid reported on September 12, 1952, in Flatwoods, WV. Witnesses described a 10-foot-tall, hovering creature with a spade-shaped head, glowing red eyes, and a green, metallic body, often associated with a UFO sighting. At 7:15 p.m., on September 12, 1952, two brothers, Edward and Fred May, and their friend Tommy Hyer, said that they saw a bright object cross the sky and land on the property of local farmer G. Bailey Fisher. The boys went home and told their mother, Kathleen May. The four of them, accompanied by local children Neil Nunley and Ronnie Shaver, and Kathleen's cousin West Virginia National Guardsman Eugene Lemon, went to the Fisher farm in an effort to locate whatever it was that Edward and Fred had claimed to see. The group reached the top of a hill, where Nunley said they saw a pulsing red light. Lemon said he aimed a flashlight in that direction and momentarily saw a tall "man-like figure with a round, red face surrounded by a pointed, hood-like shape".

The Tonganoxie Split
The "Tonganoxie Split" is a popular Kansas City-area weather legend suggesting that storms approaching from the west often divide or weaken around Tonganoxie, KS, sparing the metro area from severe weather. While often dismissed as folklore, some theories attribute it to urban heat islands or geographical factors, though many meteorologists lack evidence for it. Key Details About the Phenomenon: The Legend: Named after the town of Tonganoxie, located about 28 miles west of Kansas City, the phenomenon is believed to protect the metropolitan area from tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. Origins: The myth may stem from a misinterpretation of a 19th-century decree by Delaware Indian Chief Tonganoxie, who reportedly promised "no more storms," likely referring to an end to fighting. Scientific Debates: While many meteorologists and scientists, including some from KU, do not find significant evidence for the phenomenon, others suggest that the "urban heat island" effect or localized geography can cause storms to bifurcate. Similar "splitting" effects have been studied in other cities like Indianapolis and St. Louis. Reality Check: Despite the legend, severe, damaging tornadoes have directly hit Tonganoxie in the past, such as in May 2000, proving the area is not immune to severe weather.

Ghost Ships
What is a ghost ship? What is a ship that is a ghost? What is a haunted ship? These are the confusing yet hilarious questions we ask during our latest episode as we delve into some very fun rabbit holes of interesting conversation about the subject. A ghost ship, also known as a phantom ship, is a vessel with no living crew aboard; it may be a fictional ghostly vessel, such as the Flying Dutchman, or a physical derelict found adrift with its crew missing or dead, like the Mary Celeste. The term is sometimes used for ships that have been decommissioned but not yet scrapped, as well as drifting boats that have been found after breaking loose of their ropes and being carried away by the wind or the waves. Typically, derelict ghost ships did not remain adrift for very long, though there have been ghost ships that have been reported to remain adrift for many years, and their fates have remained unknown, such as SS Baychimo and Governor Parr.

Superstitions
On this episode we talk about the world of superstitions. Superstitions are beliefs or practices, such as believing a black cat crossing your path brings bad luck, that are not based on reason or scientific fact but are often tied to feelings of luck, fate, or magic. They often arise from fear of the unknown and can provide a sense of control or comfort, even if people rationally know they aren't real. Examples include knocking on wood, avoiding the number 13, or carrying a lucky charm. What are some of your favorite superstitions?

The Mandela Effect
Join on this fascinating episode as we delve into the mysterious Mandela Effect.The false memory phenomenon was initially investigated by psychological pioneers Pierre Janet and Sigmund Freud.Freud was fascinated with memory and all the ways it could be understood, used, and manipulated. Some claim that his studies have been quite influential in contemporary memory research, including the research into the field of false memory. Pierre Janet was a French neurologist also credited with great contributions into memory research. Janet contributed to false memory through his ideas on dissociation and memory retrieval through hypnosis.In 1974, Elizabeth Loftus and John Palmer conducted a study to investigate the effects of language on the development of false memory. The experiment involved two separate studies.In this study, the first point brought up in discussion is that the words used to phrase a question can heavily influence the response given. Second, the study indicates that the phrasing of a question can give expectations to previously ignored details, and therefore, a misconstruction of our memory recall. This indication supports false memory as an existing phenomenon.Replications in different contexts (such as hockey games instead of car crashes) have shown that different scenarios require different framing effects to produce differing memories.

Tulpas
On this week’s episode of Chumming With The Spirits we talk about the Tulpa phenomenon. Is it possible to create an entity out of thin air just by the power of thought? For centuries people have been trying do just such a thing. From scientific investigations to creating imaginary friends in search of a cure for loneliness, tulpas have been a subject of both ridicule and speculation. The concept of tulpas has origins in the Buddhist nirmāṇakāya. The earthly bodies that a buddha manifests in order to teach those who have not attained nirvana. The western understanding of tulpas was developed by 20th-century European mystical explorers, who interpreted the idea independently of buddhahood.There was even a prominent scientific research study done in 1972 by renowned parapsychologist Dr. A. R. George Owen that delved into trying to create a physical entity just by thinking about their persona. Thus the Philip experiment was born.Do humans truly possess the capability to create something out of nothing?
