Origins[]
Another peachy artifact from Salem, Massachusetts, this artifact came about on the sixth of April, in 1830 (two hundred years after the Witch Trials, though it seems all Salem artifacts just end up in this sector, so much so that Agents have seriously considered just renaming it the Salem Sector), when it's well-renowned owner Captain Joseph White was murdered during his sleep. The elderly man suffered a large blow to the head, and multiple stab wounds around the heart.
Since then, the mattress had a long run of causing mysterious deaths in bed all over America - although it's stuffing has been changed by unsuspecting seamstresses to keep up with the times. It is also suspected to be responsible for the urban legend of the dead body in the hotel room, and ironically, was snagged in Las Vegas.
Effects[]
Anyone who lies in the mattress, it seems, suffers the same fate as Captain White.
