Summary

Some places don’t just hold memories—they refuse to be forgotten. I recently took a drive to Iola, Kansas, to visit the Sleeper Mortuary, a building that stands frozen in time, untouched since its days as a funeral home. But it holds more than just the echoes of the past; it pulses with unseen energy, eerie relics, and whispers of the unknown. Paranormal investigator, author and owner of the Sleeper Mortuary, Tory Westhoff knew from the moment she stepped inside, the building had chosen her as much as she had chosen it. We discussed the haunted history of Sleeper Mortuary, where ghostly encounters, hidden artifacts, and eerie phenomena paint a picture of a place where the past is very much alive. This is Part Two of our conversation.

0:54.4	everything secure. Today on the Grave Talks, on location at the Sleeper Mortuary, part two of our
1:02.3	conversation with owner Tori Westoff. As far as buying the building, and you had an experience
1:10.7	right off the bat, did you come in and
1:12.4	investigate first or were you even able to? We weren't really able to. They're like we wanted to.
1:22.0	Right. We weren't able to. So like I was basically going off of faith in that alone.
1:30.2	But you did get that one experience. So you knew something. And everybody had the experience.
1:35.4	It was that profound. And of course, like, when I place the offer, I'm like, what if it's not
1:38.7	haunted? What if I, what if I just made that up in my house? Which is so funny to me, because
1:42.5	when I bought my house, I remember being at the closing going,
1:45.3	what if it is haunted?

1:48.7	You're closing going, God, I hope this is haunted.
1:51.3	Yeah, yeah.
