Candy store owner believes ‘playful’ spirit is behind mysterious events

A Kaukauna candy store owner says ever since she opened her business almost two years ago, things have been happening that, according to her, “go beyond science.”

  • Sweet Treats in Kaukauna has experienced strange activity like jar lids flying off and the oven randomly turning on
  • Owner Stacey Hummell believes the events might be linked to a former worker who passed away in the building
  • Staff and customers say they have witnessed occurrences, but are not alarmed

(The following is a transcription of the full broadcast story.)

Stacey Hummell, the owner of Sweet Treats in Kaukauna, said, “I have no explanation for it except for maybe it’s someone I can’t see with my own eyes.”

Hummell started the business in January 2023, moving into this 135-year-old building. But shortly after opening, she began noticing some unusual things.

“Pans in the back shaking, the oven turning on and off by itself… which has a dial you have to turn. The jukebox would turn off by itself. Lids on the candy jars randomly fly off at people,” Hummell explained.
