Real Haunted House

Waverly Hills Sanitorium for Tuberculosis

Louisville, Kentucky

(Also known as the Waverly Hills Sanitarium for Tuberculosis)

During the early twentieth century, Louisville had the highest tuberculosis rate in the country, so a hospital was opened. Many of the patients remained here until they died. The dead bodies were pushed down tunnels to the bottom of the hill where they were then carried off and buried. After the vaccine for tuberculosis was discovered, the hospital became a nursing home that is also now closed. Now, an elderly woman may be seen running from the building with bleeding wrists and ankles; she begs for someone to get her out of that place. Many have also seen people peeking out of third floor–the residential ward–windows.

My sister-in-law lives about 15minutes from there and she has been there. There were ghost hunters there and she said it was unreal. She was so freaked out by it she had to leave. I’m very interested in going but I would like to see all of it and like to do late hours. I got on the waverlyhills site and they said tours were booked untill Jan of 07. It looks like an amazing place,its history and I would like tolearn all about it

Im from Louisville, KY and I have seen the hauntings first hand. When I entered the creaky halls of WHS, I heard screams, shouting, and blood curdling gasps. When I was in room 502, I heard a girls voice, and I felt a hand touch my shoulder. Then when I was walking down a hall, I saw a ball come rolling down the hall out of nowhere, followed by the figure of a little boy. If anyone thinks this place is just a joke, you are dead wrong!!!

Waverly is one of the most hanunted places in the world! As far as room 217, I have no clue what this person is alleging. Room 502 on the 5th floor deffinatley has someone or something living there. When our group walked into the room, I instantly felt as if I was pregnant agian and had the worst case of morning sickness. It was so scary! The fourth floor is deffinatley a buffet of shadow people, they are everywere! You can watch them move about like nothing is going on.
I just warn those who want to try and sneak in that it is not a good idea! If you are caught trespassing on the grounds, you will be proscuted and your fine will then go to Waverly Hills Historical Society. Everyone needs to have respect for this place and pay $20.00 to take the tour and do it the proper way. It is worth the money, and it is so worth those who do not belive in the parnormal to go see. You can go online and look up the details for Waverly. There is a phone number there also to get in contact with Tina Mattingly to schedule a tour. They are awsome people and if you have a chance to go, you will deffinatley have a terrific time. If not for the paranormal activity, go for the history because that great building is full of it!

hi there’s a place far scarier than this in india – chennai…..kotturpuram.

a beautiful lady who shows herself in the streets at night 10.30 as a normal girl approaching to you for a help with her keys to a door in her house whrere everybody are there in her family inside the room.when she tries to open the door it dosen’t open but when we try even once the door opens and she asks you to have a coffee with her and every body in the house. but when you are in the house you feel like you are at 8.00 p.pm but you went into the house st 10.30 (remember). but you don’t know (illusion). you develop an interest to get every one in the house know and you find a beautiful garden view from a balcony. the moment you turn around you find that there’s no one except a lady with a gown bleeding from her neck without her head with a dagger flying towards you without legs. but nothing happens to you. (illusion). a lot of peolpe have died ‘coz of this illusion but those who survived this horrible scene they said these things in the T.V. news report

I wonder why there were the iron “cot like” bed frames lined up along the walls in the basement? Everything I’ve read or heard about the place adds more and more creepiness and sounds creepier than before. The most unnerving room I ever heard about was the last place I’d want to venture into,and would never enter for any amount of a bet, it would be the “draining” room.

There was a comment left by Brandi on 10.12.2006 about a place in Lebanon,Tn called “The Daeth Mill”. I have nothing against Brandi or Tennessee but if you go to the link to the Death Mill’s webstie (www.thedeathmill.com) on her comment and click on a link to the Death Mill’s history, you will see that its history is almost identical to that of Waverly Hills. If you google Waverly Hills and click on the first result that comes up, you will go to http://www.prairieghosts.com/waverly_tb.html. If you read the history of Waverly and compare it to that of the Death Mill you will only notice a few differences in the history. The only differences are names and dates and thats it. I don’t why someone would want to copy the great and amazing history of Waverly Hills,so check it out our self and make your own conclusion. Please leave your comment on the subject if you investagate this.

The scariest thing at Waverly Hills has nothing to do with ghosts. Wonder why they want all those so called “DONATIONS” in cash? That’s kind of odd for a non-profit don’t you think?

I have a tour booked there in March so if I make it out alive I will let you all know about it.

I researched this on the internet and found more information on the subject. I learned that this pregnant woman, in her twenties, that worked there, that cared for two tuberculosis patients, was depressed and she couldn’t handle her job anymore so she hung herself in room 502, the room of one of patients.

If you guys like this place, take a look at Essex Hills Sanatarium in New Jersey. Same thing…

The story about the nurse that hung herself in 502 was that she got pregnant out of wedlock, which was a “no no” back then. In a nutshell.

Also, to kill 2 birds with one stone. The “donations” go 100% to the restoration of the building. The windows have to be custom made. The owners get measurments, then send them to the company, who then comes out and installs them. There are hundreds of windows. They are doing an AMAZING job with the restoration process.

I am with a paranormal group and we were lucky enough to be invited to go to Waverly Hills this summer.I will let you all know how it turns out. As for celebrity paranormal that everyone thinks is so cool, it was faked. A security guard has admitted to another paranormal gruop that it was all setup for the show. However as for TAPS, that was real in fact that is the video tht they show you before they take you on the tour.
