Sunny War, during a video call from her home in Chattanooga, reveals her experiences of what she thought were hauntings after moving into her family's house following her father's death. Convinced she was hallucinating due to poor mental health and heavy drinking, she later discovered dangerous gas leaks causing her symptoms. The experience inspired her song "Ghosts" from her new album, "Armageddon in a Summer Dress," showcasing her unique approach to songwriting influenced by her love of Americana and punk music.
It sounded like someone was walking around, to the point that I would jump out with a machete in my hand, thinking someone had broke into the house.
I thought I was going insane in here. It was confusing, because I have been crazy before.
I didn't have any money, so I couldn't get the house inspected or anything, says War, 35. I was kind of squatting for a while.
The gas leaks are fixed, the hallucinations have stopped and War got a song out of it: Ghosts, an exploration of her father's death and its aftermath.
