(Louisville, Kentucky) Producing my first documentary at THE Waverly Hills Sanatorium!.....Don't miss what we're up to next, HIT SUBSCRIBE to keep up! Aerial Views and Ghost Hunting at Waverly Hills Sanatorium, known by many as One of The MOST HAUNTED PLACES ON EARTH. Waverly is known world wide to be FULL of History & Paranormal Activity...
The Waverly Hills Sanatorium is a closed sanatorium located in southwestern Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky. It opened in 1910 as a two-story hospital to accommodate 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients. In the early 1900s, Jefferson County was ravaged by an outbreak of tuberculosis (the White Plague) which prompted the construction of a new hospital. The hospital closed in 1961, due to the antibiotic drug streptomycin that lowered the need for such a hospital.
Waverly Hills has been popularized on the television show Ghost Hunters as being one of the most haunted hospitals in the eastern United States. The sanatorium was featured on ABC/FOX Family Channel's Scariest Places On Earth, VH1's Celebrity Paranormal Project, Syfy's Ghost Hunters, Zone Reality's Creepy, the British show Most Haunted, Paranormal Challenge and Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel. Also popularizing Waverly Hills was the film Spooked: The Ghosts of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, released in 2006, which purports to document paranormal sightings at the site
Plans have been developed to convert the sanatorium into a hotel and conference center.
HISTORY:
The land that is today known as Waverly Hill was purchased by Major Thomas H. Hays in 1883 as the Hays' family home. Since the new home was far away from any existing schools, Mr. Hays decided to open a local school for his daughters to attend. He started a one-room schoolhouse on Pages Lane and hired Lizzie Lee Harris as the teacher. Due to Miss Harris' fondness for Walter Scott's Waverley novels, she named the schoolhouse Waverly School. Major Hays liked the peaceful-sounding name, so he named his property Waverley Hill. The Board of Tuberculosis Hospital kept the name when they bought the land and opened the sanatorium. It is not known exactly when the spelling changed to exclude the second e and became Waverly Hills. However the spelling fluctuated between both spellings many times over the years.
EXPLORATION:
One of the legends told of Waverly Hills involves a man in a white coat who has been seen walking in the kitchen and the smell of cooking food that sometimes wafts through the room. During their initial visit, they found the kitchen was a disaster, a ruin of broken windows, fallen plaster, broken tables and chairs and puddles of water and debris that resulted from a leaking roof. The cafeteria had not fared much better. It was also in ruins and the team quickly retreated. Before they could do so though, several of them reported the sounds of footsteps, a door swinging shut and the smell of fresh baked bread in the air. A quick search revealed that no one else was in the building and there was certainly no one cooking anything in the kitchen. They could come up with no logical explanation for what had occurred.
Ghost researchers are always drawn to the fifth floor of the former hospital. The fifth floor consisted of two nurses’ stations, a pantry, a linen room, medicine room and two medium-sized rooms on both sides of the two nurses’ stations. One of these, Room 502, is the subject of many rumors and legends and just about every curiosity-seeker that had broken into Waverly Hills over the years wanted to see it. This is where, according to the stories, people have jumped to their deaths, have seen shapes moving in the windows and have heard disembodied voices that order trespassers to “get out”.
There is a lot of speculation as to what went on in this part of the hospital but what is believed is that mentally insane tuberculosis patients were housed on the fifth floor. This kept them far away from the rest of the patients in the hospital but still in an area where they could benefit from the fresh air and sunshine. This floor is actually centered in the middle of the hospital and the two wards, extending out from the nurses’ station, is glassed in on all sides and opens out onto a patio-type roof. The patients were isolated on either side of the nurses’ stations and they had to go to a half door at each station to get their food and medicine and to use the restroom, which was located adjacent to the station.

Waverly Hills was originally a two-story wooden building that was opened in 1910, however the building you see today was constructed in 1926. It served as a tuberculosis hospital throughout the early to mid 20th Century, a time when the disease was at its worst. It is believed that as many as 63,000 patients died there. The death toll as well as the supposed mistreatment and questionable experimental procedures on patients, are all recipes that may be behind one of the most haunted buildings in the whole of the US.
The Waverly Hills Sanatorium has built quite the reputation over the years as more and more people are allowed to investigate the premises. This has thrown up some incredible evidence over the years. It has featured on shows such as Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters (TAPS), and our very own Most Haunted. TAPS captured a figure on their thermal imaging camera that seemed to be walking across the hall. The figure was about 3ft tall, they later found out that the ghost of a young boy named Tim has been spotted there before.

4 Real Ghost Photos that Defy Explanation
Doctor Colin's Mysterious World: 4 Real Ghost Photos that Defy Explanation (and the stories behind them)
Ever since the advent of photography in the 1800s people have relied very heavily on the adage “the camera never lies” to back up all sorts of claims. Photographic pioneers experimented with all sorts of techniques to make the impossible seem real, many earning a crust peddling personalised “ghost photos”. But in this video I'm going to be examining four of the most famous ghost photos ever taken that continue to stump the experts.
Lord Combermere's Chair, Mary Lee of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, the Madonna of Bachelor's Grove and the Haunted Toys R Us are some of the most compelling ghost photographs ever taken and they continue to baffle and intrigue investigators to this day. Learn about the stories behind the images and maybe you can draw your own conclusions.
Below I have supplied links to some sources that were very useful for me and are great for further study.

My Waverly Hills Evidence (including a Shadow Figure)
This is evidence I caught during my summer 2007 visit to Waverly Hills. I caught a shadow being, another human-like manifestation, and other paranormal phenomena.
Waverly Hills-morgue
This footage was captured with a new camera we are using. Its a full spectrum high resolution DVR cam and it seems it paid off buying it as we caught this shadow appearing to go into the bottom body cooler of the morgue. This camera uses the full spectrum of light (UV/IR light) to capture what ever possible things are going on where the normal IR cameras only work off of IR alone. Let us know what you think....

The Arkansas Tuberculosis Sanatorium (This Is Arkansas: What Remains)
This Is Arkansas: What Remains
The Arkansas Tuberculosis Sanatorium
By the late 1800's tuberculosis was literally taking over the country and the world with 1 out of every 7 people dying from the dreaded disease. Poorly understood, high contagious, and with no known cures or treatments, death by tuberculosis was very slow, painful, and lingering. Fearful of the highly contagious nature of the disease, and not knowing what else to do, a system of large and very reclusive tuberculosis sanatoriums was constructed in countries all around the world. Those who had been exposed to the disease and those who had contracted it were quarantined from the rest of the population in these sanatoriums as treatments and cures were desperately sought by the doctors and staffs that ran and maintained them at their own risk of exposure.
Built in 1910, The Arkansas Tuberculosis Sanatorium grew to become the largest sanatorium in the entire United States and became a pivotal research facility within the fight against tuberculosis. The mortality rate at The Arkansas Tuberculosis Sanatorium was 50% (1 out of every 2 patients admitted to the facility died from the disease), but sanatoriums, treatment centers, and patients the entire world over benefitted from the research that was pioneered there and the treatments that were discovered there.
By the late 1960's medicines, treatments, and cures for tuberculosis had been well established and preventative measure and immunizations were in place. So, in 1972, and with the great battle against tuberculosis finally over and won, the great Arkansas Tuberculosis Sanatorium ceased operations, closed its doors, and gradually faded back into history. And yet the battle that was fought there, the victories that were won, and all of the people that committed their lives to the cause heralded by the great institution can never be forgotten...
... because This Is Arkansas.

Special Scary Stories | Waverly Hills Sanatorium | Spirit in the Sinister Sofa | Brown Palace Ghost
Waverly Hills Sanatorium
Waverly Hills Sanatorium - Room 502 ghost photo. If you look very carefully above the number 502 you will see the large face of a womans ghost. their are also other smaller faces around her. Says Ghost Hunter Page Barnett. I took this real Waverly Hills Sanatorium's Ghost photo while privately touring the facility at night! Waverly Hills Sanatorium, located in Louisville, Kentucky, opened in 1910 as a two-story hospital to accommodate 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients. It has since come to be considered one of the most haunted buildings in the Eastern United States. I believe this is definitive proof that the building is the most haunted place in the world!
Spirit in the Sinister Sofa
When I was in my twenties I shared a local flat with a student. Although the place was comfortable and well decorated it was the weirdest place I have ever lived in. It all started when a large oval mirror began moving by itself. Whenever I was relax or let my mind drift a loud crackling sound would be heard and sometimes the sound of rustling papers. If we moved towards the noise it would stop immediately. The disturbances became so frequent that it was difficult to sleep at night!
Early one evening we were relaxing in the lounge. The student was laying on the floor writing an essay. Suddenly I was aware that someone else was with us. I saw the white figure of a woman stood in the corner of the room. My eyes must have been like saucers but I felt no fear. To this day I vividly remember what she was wearing and how she seemed to shine. But the strangest thing of all was that where she stood was an armchair. She was standing right through it!
Brown Palace Ghost
My wife and daughter were watching a Travel Channel special on haunted places in the US. The Brown Palace Hotel was one of the places that was documented on the program. We were going to Denver in June and my wife suggested that we check this place out. Well, me being skeptical and all said jokingly if we found the place maybe we could get a picture of an orb or something.
When we arrived in Denver on June 19, 2005 I picked up a rental car and asked where this Hotel was and they said pointing down the street at some flags that that was it. Now I was committed to going. I took 3 pictures outside and 12 pictures inside.
When taking the pictures I did not observe anything unusual. We got home on June 22 and before going to bed I downloaded all my pictures from my camera. I use a Kodak Easy Share CX6445 camera. We then viewed the pictures and to our amazement we saw the picture that I have sent you. I have no clue as to what this is. The ships in the window behind the object are not distorted and I do not believe it to be a reflection. The object goes beyond the window into the molding area at the bottom. The only conclusion I can come up with is that it is a GHOST!!! I now am a believer!
