Waverly Hills Sanitorium for Tuberculosis
(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.

True Story. My name is Chad. Last year, for Halloween, my girlfriend, best friend,Ryan, and his girlfriend,Megan, all decided to go to Waverly. I had been before and found the place pretty intimidating because of its sheer size and the whole auroa that surrounded the place. It was a typical Saturday night and we bought our tickets and paid the $5 extra for the ‘bonus’ haunted part which was called, if I’m not mistaken, Total Darkness. The first part of the haunted house was of course like any other haunted house. You dont even really realize you are inside Waverly Hills, its just sort of the same old stuff that any haunted house would present. However we found the second part, the bonus part quite intriguing. Only us 4 went as a group and what it was is exactly what it said, Total Darkness. You walk in and cannot even see your hand in front of your face. No lights. The only thing you have to guide you are these black lights on the floor that are placed perfectly so as to when you get to one you look around and will see another. Now besides the black light there is no other type of light. Here is where it gets interesting. The noise, from music, was extremely loud so we couldnt hear each other but barely and even when we yelled. As we are going through the motions a red light appears to come on out of nowhere. I see it and its the opposite way of the way we are supposed to go. I go towards the light anyway. As I get closer I see that its the body drawers. A body drawer is built into the wall and is used to store dead bodies and the light was coming from inside the body drawer. As I got closer my skin began to crawl. Then I seen something written, tagged/spray painted, on the wall inside the upper drawer and it freaked me out. It was my name. “CHAD”! When I seen this I immediately stopped in my tracks and as my girlfriend seen this she couldnt speak. I was really taken aback and quite freaked out. Coincidence I told myself. Megan went in for a closer look because I would not move. When she went around to the other side I seen her put her hand over her mouth as she muttered under her breathe “Oh my God!”. We all went to see what she was seeing and what we saw made us feel unwelcomed and looking for the exit ASAP. And on the bottom drawer on the opposite side was tagged, “RYAN”.

As far as being from Kentucky, I’m extremely proud of where I’m from and do not appreciate the comments made by Michelle. Too many times Kentucky is stereotyped. There are many intelligent people in Kentucky as well as many great things in Kentucky and Waverly Hills is definetly one of them.

I recently went to Waverly on a tour. We experienced several shadow people on the 4th floor. At one point, a fellow tourist walked down the hall by herself in the total darkness. As she walked back towards the group, very clearly, she had a shadow person behind and beside her. There was no mistaking it. Also, a man in our group captured orbs that could only be seen through his videocamera. The group also heard a loud, manly exhale of air behind us. There was no man at the back of the group, just myself and another girl. Also, we experienced a MAJOR coldspot in the area outside of 502. They were getting a moving electromagnetic reading as well in that very spot. Very creepy.

Probably not such a good idea to make it into a hotel, seeing as though it’s haunted with evil spirits (no one can come back from the dead so in reality, there are no “ghosts.”) Doubtless it would take years and millions of dollars to make Waverly Hills into an establishment that would be fit for accomodating guests.
I live in Louisville but nowhere near the house, I did attempt to drive down there one time by myself and turned on Pages Lane, it’s not all that easy to spot from the road and because I’m not familiar with the area, I gave up the attempt. I would not be afraid to actually spend time there (such as an evening) because very few evil spirits can harm you physically. Perhaps there are cases of this in history but it would have to be extremely rare and the demon would have to be very powerful, such demons are usually busy with much more important tasks than roaming the halls of some old hospital. Demons are actually ranked by the power they have and what they are able to accomplish and what their mission is. Thrones and Princes are the only demons (besides Satan himself) that might have the power to harm someone physically but one has to assume that it’s the lower ranking demons such as Lordships (spirit level) that would invade old buildings. Their powers are very limited although they can almost certainly make their presence known by appearing in the form of a deceased person or frightening people. Again, once we die, we are dead, there is no coming back from where we go. If there have been incidents where people have returned from the dead, it would have to be as a direct result of God’s power and even then, they would not be allowed to frighten people! Such cases would envolve a deceased loved one in heaven coming to comfort a living relative, or perhaps, an angel in the form of that person.
