Wyoming County "Wago Owanhan"

If you've never heard of the Wago Owanhan, don't worry. Even those who have lived in the southern coalfields of West Virginia in and around Wyoming County (the alleged home of the phenomenon) have no idea what the heck this is. That's because...it doesn't exist. 

I feel pretty confident in saying that. Often with alleged paranormal phenomenon, I try to give the benefit of the doubt and entertain the idea that there may be something behind the claims. However, with the Wago Owanhan, there are just too many red flags. 

The story appeared in newspapers across the country in 1896. And then again in 1897. And once in 1903 for some reason. The story was the exact same copy and paste text for each different newspaper, yet oddly I couldn't find any newspaper in West Virginia that carried the story, despite the eerie phenomenon taking place right here in the Mountain State. So what is this phenomenon that supposedly occurred in Wyoming County?

According to the article, the Wago Owanhan was a mysterious light of ancient origin. Dating back to prehistoric times, the Wago Owanhan could be spotted over the river (I'm guessing the Guyandotte?) within Pat Wess Canyon (I can't find any mention of such a place existing).  It's source wasn't anywhere along the canyon walls, but rather, just seemed to be a floating mist or fog that illuminated the river valley below. The light was said to be so intense that one could read a book or newspaper by it in the dead of night. 

On February 15th and 16th (year unknown as the article appeared across MANY months in different years), an expedition was led by I.E. Christian of Oceana, WV. Accompanied by Professor Tohlure, the men observed snowflakes falling over the canyon. When they reached a height of about 200 feet above the water, they would "blaze out with dazzling brightness" and remain illuminous until they reached the surface of the river. 

Someone reading this in the late 1800's might not find this too unbelievable, as there could be several scientific explanations for what was interpreted as a supernatural sight. However, journalism during this time was a little...iffy. Sensationalized stories appeared in newspapers across the country. Touted as being actual news, these fictitious tales were used for a number of reasons---for entertainment, to fill space, to attract readership, and in many cases, to make a thinly veiled commentary on a political, moral, or social issue. Someone in Connecticut reading this story isn't likely to know that there's no such location as Pat Wess Canyon in rural West Virginia. They aren't likely to look up the credentials of Professor Tohlure. And they sure aren't going to seek a follow-up to the claimed upcoming scientific inquiry. 

Author Chris Woodyard covered the story on her Haunted Ohio website, with some additional insights. I. E. Christan WAS a real person; he was an attorney/judge who was murdered a few years after this article was published. Check it out HERE.

The Haunted History of Coalfield Manor

 

Coalfield Manor
McGraw-Worrell Building (Mullens, WV)

Coalfield Manor is southern West Virginia's newest paranormal investigation destination! Located in the McGraw-Worrell Building at 102 Moran Avenue in downtown Mullens, Coalfield Manor dates back to 1918 and has functioned as a department store and most recently....a funeral home! Please see Coalfield Manor on Facebook for more information on this fascinating location and for updates on how YOU can explore its mysteries for yourself. 

At the confluence of the Guyandotte River and Slab Fork Creek in Wyoming County, WV sits the town of Mullens. Mullens was named after A.J. Mullins, who owned quite a bit of land where the town now sits and built his first cabin around the area of First Street and the (former) Guyandotte Avenue (now Moran Avenue) around 1898. On September 17, 1912, the town was officially incorporated as Mullens---someone forgot to dot the 'i' in Mullins, and it was interpreted as being an 'e'. In February of 1929, Mullens was upgraded to city status. Along the way, the Virginian Railway completed a terminal in Mullens (1909), and the timber and coal industries popped up and thrived in the surrounding areas. Mullens became a bustling place of business and residence in the southern WV coalfields. 

Unfortunately, Mullens was no stranger to tragedy. While the town thrived overall for quite a number of years, it was forced to persevere through some tough times. On Tuesday December 11, 1917, a massive fire completely destroyed Mullens business district. The fire began around noon in the apartment of the Jackson family, located above the 5 and 10 Store. This store was located extremely close to where Coalfield Manor now sits. Coalfield Manor is attached to the Bank of Mullens building, which is on the corner of First Street and Moran Avenue (formerly Guyandotte Avenue, and the approximate location of the Mullins cabin. The 5 and 10 Store was located halfway between the Bank of Mullens and the Dunman Hotel, putting it right around the corner from the current Coalfield Manor.

This fire caused an estimated $500,000-$750,000 in damages and left 75 families (most of whom lived in apartments above the storefronts) homeless. It also resulted in the loss of one life. The 6-month-old son of Bertha Jackson, who was living above the 5 and 10 Store with her parents, was killed in the fire. According to one newspaper, the baby's body was completely cremated in the fire, leaving no remains behind. However, another newspaper article claimed the baby died of exposure---which is possible as 6 inches of snow fell that evening, complicating efforts to fight the fire.

Before the fire, there was a building on the site, which some sources list as possibly being a pharmacy/drug store. That building, which was also a wooden frame structure, was destroyed in the fire and replaced between 1918 and 1919 with the current McGraw-Worrell Building. Presumably built as a department store, the McGraw-Worrell Building was named for land developer, H.G. McGraw and attorney, Grover Worrell.

The McGraw-Worrell building makes up a huge chunk of what is now the home of Coalfield Manor. However, the property is a mash-up of several buildings, constructed and renovated several times over the years. Additional fires and flooding have destroyed historical records, and the moving and renaming of several businesses and streets around town have made it a little unclear as to a complete history of the property at this time (don't worry---I'm still working on it!). We do know, however, that beginning in 1961, the property was used as the Sam Foglesong Funeral Home. The company did extensive renovations to the property, adding in the chapel, music room, operating room, etc. At one point, a third-floor apartment was also added to the property.

Following the Foglesong Funeral Home, the Tankersley Funeral Home would take up operations at the property, closing in May of 2024. Luckily for the paranormal community, the property would not sit abandoned for too long. While on a quest to find a rather spooky location, Heather Wheeler came across the listing for this former funeral home. At first, her husband Bob didn't seem super interested in the property, but after looking at several other options and weighing the benefits of the Mullens property, the couple decided to come to WV to take a look at it. Although their primary residence is out of state, the couple were familiar with the area and its potential. On a trip over Thanksgiving break, they toured the property and put in a bid. By January of 2025, they were the proud owners of a former funeral home, with plans on incorporating the building both as a future residence upon retirement, and as a hub of southern West Virginia tourism---including our state's spooky tourism!

After a winter and spring full of cleaning, renovating, and furnishing the property, Coalfield Manor opened to the public for paranormal investigation. Offering both public and private options, the Wheelers have cultivated a fantastic opportunity for the paranormal community---which is already yielding some spooky results!  According to a psychic friend of the owners who visited, the location has a few regular ghosties that hang out...but the property is also full of transient spirits who seem to stop by, make themselves known, then move on for whatever reason. As Mullens was a railroad town, this seems to fit in with its history of people constantly coming and going, with lives lived and lives ended. With so many fires, coal/timber tragedies, train-related incidents, floods, buildings being torn down and destroyed, and a HUGE number of traffic accidents in the area, it's easy to see where Coalfield Manor could easily become a place of gathering for those on their journey into the unknown. In many ways, the property has stayed the same for over 100 years, but at the same time, has seen so much change. Further, Coalfield Manor is surrounded on three sides by either water or train tracks, causing almost a 'trapping' effect.

And, with over 60 years as being a funeral home, the property WAS a gathering place for the town. It was a place where they came together to celebrate the lives and mourn the loss of friends and loved ones. That type of emotion is sure to leave an imprint on a location. There may even be a ghost or two attached not to the property, but an object within it. There were many items from the funeral home left on the property, including embalming equipment and caskets. In order to pay homage to that history, the owners have brought in additional funerary antiques to furnish the space. There's even a casket that visitors can 'test drive' for themselves while there! So, with that all in mind, this place has all the makings of being a haunted hot spot. But what type of activity has actually been reported?

Battery drain and equipment malfunction, especially in the area of the main viewing room is common. Members of Appalachian Ghost Tours experienced our own issues with batteries dying prematurely in the embalming area. 

The main viewing area. This room is known for
battery drainage and equipment malfunction.

Apparitions have also been seen...mostly. Earlier this year, a visitor to the property was on her phone, sitting in the main foyer when what appeared to be a man walked by. She scooted over a bit to let him by and looked up to realize that she couldn't see anything above his waist. All she saw was the man's shoes and slacks. In an odd addendum to this experience, the next day, an elderly visitor was in the same area when suddenly she pointed straight ahead and said she saw a man. When asked about his shoes and pants (to see if he was the same guy seen on the previous day) she stated that she could only see him from the waist UP. Why this guy chose to reveal his top half to one woman and his bottom half to another is one of those mysteries that keep me in this field!

Unfortunately, I didn't see either half of this dude during AGT's preliminary investigation, but I DID see what I thought was a woman's white skirt on the staircase a few times, as if she was at the top of the stairs, watching us. And it does seem that there is a female entity on the property as well. This female entity seems to connect with mothers, or those with a maternal instinct and we certainly got a ton of spirit box communication mentioning various aspects of motherhood. 

This woman may or may not be named Evelyn, a name that has come across for the owners and visitors several times, although always in a male voice. Aside from that clue, and a few other names that tend to pop up with varying degrees of frequency, we're not really sure the identity of any of the resident spirits quite yet. Hopefully, as the building is researched and investigated more, these answers will become clearer.

As stated before, there are a variety of investigation opportunities available during the summer months at Coalfield Manor. Private overnights are available from either 6p-12a, or 6p-8a. There are also various public events which are shorter, but come with the education and guidance of experienced paranormal investigators to lead you through your experience. And, if you're reading this before August 23, 2025:

Appalachian Ghost Tours will be leading an investigation from 7pm to 12am on Saturday, August 23rd! Come join us for an exciting evening of food, fun, and hopefully ghosts! The price of admission gets you a fabulous potluck-style dinner in addition to your investigation. Bring your own equipment or borrow ours---we'll teach you how to use it, guide you through the process, and give you plenty of time to check out the behind-the-scenes areas of a former funeral home. A portion of the proceeds directly goes to benefit Coalfield Manor and to hopefully keep it flourishing as one of West Virginia's newest paranormal tourism destinations. Come hang out with AGT and help support this cool location owned by two of the coolest, nicest, most dedicated people you'll meet. (Facebook Event Page for more info!)

What Happened to Thomas Steele? A WV State Pen Story

WV State Penitentiary
Source: WV History on View

 

In April of 1959, a letter was received by the Wheeling, WV police, addressed to Sgt. Elmer Hehr. The letter was from Francis W. (Chicago Red) Brassell, written from Brassell's jail cell in El Paso, Texas. Brassell was in the county jail, currently awaiting transfer to a state facility in Huntsville. He had been sentenced to 50 years for armed robbery and decided that now was as good a time as any to confess to an earlier crime. In the letter, Chicago Red Brassell admitted that in 1952, while incarcerated at the WV State Penitentiary for (you guessed it) armed robbery, he had killed a fellow inmate and made it look like a suicide. 

Brassell had been sent to the West Virginia State Penitentiary on November 19, 1947. He had received a ten year sentence for armed robbery in Kanawha County, but had served his sentence, and was released April 17, 1957. Two years later, he found himself sitting in a Texas jail cell for the same thing. Instead of ten years, however, he was being sentenced to 50 years with the added 'benefit' of working on a prison work crew, affectionately known as a 'chain gang' in the oppressive Texas heat. 

It is theorized that Brassell wrote the letter, hoping to get transferred back to West Virginia and serve out his sentence there. So, he made up a story that in October of 1952, he had strangled fellow inmate, Thomas G. Steele, then hung his body over the cell door to make it look like a suicide. The warden at the time, Donivan E. Adams, sent the Marshall County Prosecutor, Everett Fox, and a WV State Trooper, H.E. Robinson, to Texas for an investigation.

Thomas G. Steele was from Mason County. He was sent to the penitentiary in April of 1947 to serve out a 1-10 year sentence for grand larceny. In July of 1952, he decided he had had enough of prison life. While working at a prison work camp in Gypsy (Harrison County), Steele escaped. He was missing for 12 hours before he was found six miles away in a poison ivy patch. He surrendered peaceably.  However, there were consequences to his actions. 

Steele, along with Brassell and 2-3 other 'incorrigibles' were placed in Death Row cells so that the guards could better control and monitor them. It was in this cell block where Thomas Steele was found on October 4, 1952. His death was ruled a suicide and he was buried in the prison cemetery. He was just 23 years old. 

Thomas Steele's story probably would have ended there, if Brassell hadn't had the bright idea to take credit for the death. But, this grand plan of being sent back to West Virginia would not come to fruition. The only person who believed Brassell had been responsible for Steele's death was Everett Fox. Trooper Robinson, Warden Adams, and former Warden Orel J. Skeen, all believed the story was made up. Skeen, who was warden at the time of the incident, claimed that Brassell definitely had the mental capacity to commit murder, but didn't think it was physically possible. Brassell was a small man, weighing in at only 126 pounds. It would have been difficult for him to have strangled Steele, then hoisted his body up before being found out by the guards in their more secured setting. 

Officials went on to say that it didn't really matter, either way. Even if they had believed there was sufficient evidence to suggest Steele was murdered, they wouldn't bother to extradite him from Texas. And therefore, Steele's official cause of death remains 'suicide' and Brassell presumably served his time in a Texas prison. 

From a paranormal perspective, I find this case extremely interesting in regards to its potential for producing ghosts. Both suicide and murder victims are largely believed to stick around a location after their untimely death, but what if you were falsely accused of taking your own life, and your name was never cleared? To many, that false narrative is a really big deal, and the hunt for justice that is never going to come is more than enough reason to stick around and haunt a location. 

And what about Brassell? What really prompted him to confess to murder? A popular trope in these types of stories is that he felt compelled to finally admitting his crime by being haunted, either literally or figuratively by thoughts of Steele. Or, did he really just prefer to serve out a murder sentence over an armed robbery sentence if it meant being back in West Virginia? Could that draw to West Virginia actually be enough to cause his spirit to return to the old prison, despite dying beyond its walls? As an interesting side note, he's not the only prisoner I've read about who desperately wanted to be at WV State Penitentiary! We always hear about how violent and filthy and overcrowded the prison was throughout much of its operation, but inmates such as Bill Dorsey (story HERE) purposefully tried to be re-committed, and even Charles Manson has his infamous letter to the warden begging to be transferred. 

It's undeniable that the former West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville is a powerful place, with an energy that is all its own. Whether that energy draws you in, or causes you to run screaming from within its walls is a whole other mystery...

Ghosts of Cass

Cass, WV

My family and I love to take weekend trips to see some of West Virginia's most scenic and historic sites. Luckily, many of those sites tend to have a reputation for being haunted! Our latest adventure took us to the Cass Scenic Railroad. Not only did we ride the Shay #5 engine up to the town of Durbin and back, but we spent two nights in the restored town of Cass itself.

Cass was a company town, created in 1901 by the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company, to accommodate the logging crews working the nearby sawmills. Most of the two-story employee homes were built around 1902 and were pretty nice, with lots of modern amenities (excluding bathrooms until the 1920s!) and plenty of room to raise a family. Loggers had the option to rent or purchase their homes. If they purchased the home, they were allowed plenty of free lumber to build additions onto the houses. The only catch was, if they ever sold their home, they had to sell it back to the company at the SAME PRICE they paid for it. They were ensured to not LOSE money, but if they did any improvements to the home, then they were not compensated for the added value. 

Logging operations in the area ran until about 1960. The following year, the state purchased the railroad and by 1963 was operating it as the Cass Scenic Railroad, a huge tourist attraction. The town itself wasn't made a part of the state park until 1977. 

Company House on Spruce Street

We stayed at 332 Spruce Street, a handicap accessible, 4-bedroom home up on the hill. We checked in Friday evening, got up Saturday to catch the train, then spent another night before checking out early Sunday. It was a comfortable stay with plenty of room and a great view. From our back deck, we could look down over much of the town of Cass. From our front porch, we could watch a whole herd of deer frolicking along the tree line and field.  It was relaxing, yet a little...spooky. 

To be honest, I didn't do very much research into the haunted history of the town before our trip. I knew people had said it was haunted, but I didn't look very far into the details of why they thought that beyond a story found on the WV Ghosts website. In the story (LINK HERE), the author tells of staying in one of the furbished employee homes, much like us. They visited a small craft shop and saw a strange white blur go by quickly; when asked about it, the shopkeeper informed them that a little girl had died in the home from an illness that the local doctor couldn't treat.

The story goes on further to say that they heard a woman screaming around 10pm. When they went to look outside to see where the scream was coming from, it sounded like someone was rattling the doorknob, trying to get into the house. When the author discussed the story the next day with family, their sister and dad had also heard the scream, but they had heard something the author hadn't---a man whistling INSIDE the house!

Ghost Hunting at the
Company House

That was enough for me, so I decided to pack just a few, very basic pieces of ghost hunting equipment. My son has recently expressed an interest in ghost hunting, so I thought a little investigating of the company house would be a fun activity to fill some time. We had a few interesting things happen, but nothing too crazy. At two separate times during our stay, we heard what sounded like the back doorknob jiggle. When filming a short 'reaction video' to a Dubai chocolate taste-testing, my son and I both heard a voice coming from the downstairs bedroom. When we played the video back, there is a voice, but I can't prove that it wasn't actually my son saying 'okay' off-camera, despite none of us remembering him saying that. 

During our Saturday night 'ghost hunt,' we had some strange K-II hits, some hilarious things come over the spirit box, including both our names (which, my son is named Luke and the Luke family was instrumental in the creation of Cass, so that might be unrelated), a comment on Luke's dad being 'a fool,' and lots of stuff about an accident. We may have also gotten an EVP, but I'm still trying to clean it up, because I can't make out what it says. Before bed that night, I laid around and just did a simple search through the newspaper archives for Cass, just to see if anything came up that was interesting, or seemed to fit what we had heard over the spirit box.

Being a railroad and logging community, there were plenty of articles about untimely deaths from industrial accidents. I was kind of surprised at the amount of murders, though. There were quite a few angry fellas running around Cass at the turn of the last century. But there was one article that stood out; it was an article about a fire that had killed a mother and two young children. The father managed to save two additional children and himself, and the tragedy rocked the community. Little did I know that there was way more to the story...and that it would actually play a part in the haunted reputation of the town!

Company Store, Museum and Restaurant

When we got home after a long, jam-packed weekend (another blog about that coming soon!) I started delving into the research a little more in preparation for writing about Cass' haunted history. The website for Pocahontas County tourism has a page dedicated to the area's haunted locations, and I was pleased to see that Cass was on their list. The article mentions hearing the ghostly train whistle of a phantom train....but it mentions that there is one house in the restored neighborhood that is more haunted than others. The house in question is the Doyle House on Main Street. According to the article, witnesses have reported seeing a woman with two young children walking down Main Street near the house, late at night.

Unfortunately, we weren't staying in the Doyle House. Even though the house number wasn't given, we were up on Spruce, so it definitely wasn't us. But, the name caught my attention. Where had I heard Doyle before? 

You may have guessed it; Doyle was the name of the family who suffered from the tragic fire! On February 3, 1915, a fire at the Doyle residence took the lives of Mrs. George Doyle (Jessie) and two of her children---8 year old Charlotte and two year old George William Lee Doyle, Jr. George was able to save 4 year old Ethel, and George Jr.'s twin sister, Claris. In his efforts, he was burned severely, and suffered a broken arm. In addition to the house, fire was also set to the nearby Oddfellows Hall, and a picture theater owned by Mr. Doyle. Those two locations were saved through a bucket brigade. 

What makes this story all the more tragic is that the fire was no accident. It took over a year, but a man named L.H. Haroff/Harouff was finally arrested and confessed to the crime. Harouff, a restaurant owner from Marlington, was a firebug with a history of burning down the homes and businesses of his rivals. He admitted to the Doyle arson because he was in negotiations to buy the picture theater owned by Doyle and a relative, but Doyle wouldn't sell. 

Aaron and Luke in front of the
(haunted?) Shay No. 5 Engine

Harouff's defense was that he was insane. The idea of an insanity plea was backed up by the fact that when Harouff was finally tracked down and arrested for the arson of lawyer, L.M. McClintic's home, HE ASKED MCCLINTIC TO REPRESENT HIM! It also doesn't appear as if Harouff ever really made it to the WV State Penitentiary for his crimes. It's possible that he was sent to a state hospital, such as the Weston State Hospital (Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum), but I cannot find any mention of the verdict of his trial through the archive service I use. I did, however, find what I THINK is his obituary...and at the time of this person's death, they are not incarcerated.

So yeah, I can totally understand why Jessie's ghost, along with two of her children, are seen roaming the streets of Cass after such a senseless tragedy. The scream that the visitors from the WV Ghosts story heard may also be tied in the fire. But, there are plenty of more ghosts in town apparently!

Cass Depot

On July 30, 2025 (AFTER WE HAD COME HOME) a new blog post was published on Salt Shaker Press, giving a list of haunted locations throughout Pocahontas County. I REALLY wish I had this list before our vacation, because we actually visited, saw, or drove by a lot of these places, and I would have definitely paid more attention and taken more pictures. Anyway, the post lists a ton of places throughout Pocahontas County, but specific to Cass:

1. The Phantom Train Whistle: Heard throughout the area after the last train of the night has long passed, this whistle is believed to indicate a special run for the spirits of those killed in nearby logging/train accidents.

2. Shay No. 5 Engine: This is actually the engine we were assigned on our round trip to Durbin! It is said to be haunted by a brakeman who was crushed to death in the 1930's. This ghost makes his presence known by the scent of pipe tobacco and the occasional shadowy apparition. 

3. Company Store: Witnesses have reported seeing the apparition of a woman in an early 20th century dress, peering out the second floor windows of the company store. It is believed she is a wife, watching for her husband to return. While we were in town, there was one strange thing about the store, which most likely is NOT paranormal, but I thought I'd go ahead and record it. When we arrived in town on Friday and checked in, we were told the internet was out, but they had an order in to fix it. We bought some drinks and snacks at the company store (now a museum and gift shop) and asked about paying with a card vs. cash. We were told that they could take a card, because they had a separate backup system that never went down. Later that evening, the wifi was restored. It was a little slow at times, but there were no real problems until right before we checked out Sunday morning. As we were planning our route home, the internet wifi once again went out and there was no cell service in the area. We headed down to the company store and attached restaurant for breakfast, where we were told by a panicked young waitress that the backup internet connection had also gone down and they could only accept cash. According to the staff we talked to, this had never happened before, and it had everyone a little on edge that morning! 

4. Greenbrier River Trail: We didn't really explore the Greenbrier River Trail, but apparently it's a hot spot for paranormal activity, too. Hikers and bikers have seen a lantern light swinging in the distance. The light approaches them, but as they get closer, they can see that no person is holding the light. The light then abruptly goes out. 

That's a LOT of paranormal activity for such a little town. But, it's a little town steeped in history and it is a great place to have a family adventure. Our company house was comfortable, everyone was super nice and polite, and the train ride was a lot of fun. It was a beautiful, scenic trip up there and back and I would highly recommend it for a weekend getaway. You'll see a lot of wildlife. You'll see a lot of history. And if you're lucky, you might even see a ghost!
