In West Virginia, where coal mining was once a main source of income to entire communities, sits the remnants of one such community. The Whipple Company Store was the center of this particular coal camp and nowadays, this sole building remains, telling the history and possibly hosting many spirits who were quite familiar with this place for more than a century.
