This is the story of two girls, Mary Roth and Lawrence Yvenna.

Also, I'd like to introduce Dr. E. Winchester Stevens, M.D., who helped in documenting the events

that led people to believe something so bizarre that it shook a whole town's beliefs.

Through countless witnesses, a respectable family, a medical professional, and basing it directly

from the account written by Dr. E. W. Stevens himself.

I want to tell you about the bizarre connection between Lurrency and Mary.

Now, they didn't know each other, so this isn't exactly a tale of friendship.

And yet the first person account from Dr. Stephen's book, the What Seeka Wonder,

it's where I got most of the information from.

This person actually interacted with the family and with the witnesses. It's going to have you

questioning what a ghost is truly capable of. And here's a tale of the Watsika

Wonder.

My name is Edwin, and here is a dark memory.

Just south of Wetsika, Illinois, in a town called Midford, back in 1864,

Lyrinda Smith and Thomas Venom had a child. Mary Lurancy Venom was born on April 16th.

When she was about two months old, the family moved to Iowa and later returned to the area.

The family had to pinpoint when the event started happening. It was on July 11th of 1877. Lurancy was 13 years old by this time and was working in the house.

At this specific time she was sewing a carpet.

That's what she told her mother that she wasn't feeling very well.

The mother, concerned, was keeping a close eye on her when suddenly her body started shaking and moving

and she just fell to the floor.

Her mother walked up to her, watching Laurence's body be completely still.
