I live in Louisville, KY and Waverly Hills (More commonly called Waverly Manor) is bar far one of the most haunted places on earth. During the tuberculosis scare it was a place to send TB patients and many died of TB/suicide/unkown reasons. I've been here and it is ridiculosly scary. It was on foxfamily's World's Scariest Places, and is being considered for MTV's Fear series. The official website is www.waverlyhillstbsanatorium.com/. I will be investigating it in the near future but i think you guys could do a MUCH better job than I considering I am only starting out. There is a chute where they would slide 100's of dead bodies down a day to keep the patients from seeing all their colleagues die. There is also the story of the nurse who hung herself because of the depressing atmosphere. I have talked to some security guards and have been told that when doing their morning walk everyday they can smell breakfast being cooked in the kitchen but the no one is ever cooking and the kitchen is completely trashed and vandilized/unusable. They also told me that one security guard was on duty by himself late one night and out of no where a Hearse drives up and pulls up to the crematory part of the building and two men in white suits get out open the door to the creamatorium (there is no door there anymore) and wheel out 2 bodies on a stretcher, put them in the hearse and drive off. I think this site is very worthwhile.

Wow, I'd give about anything to go with! How do you get permission to go in there? Will you be spending the night? *sighs, shakes head* THAT would be a GREAT hunt!

its very hard to get in...u basiclaly have to sweet talk the guards into letting u in. Every now and then they give tours of the place for 20 bucks a head. I went earlier in the year for a school photography project, and got in good with the guards then. My friend who went with me is looking into getting on the security staff there and is always talking the the gurads online. But an interesting note is that many of the pictures I took for school contained orbs. It was broad daylight too. Where are you from? We might be able to get u in with us. As far as what our plans are once we investigate...I don't know. Like I said its very rundown and unsafe so the owner might not want us there overnight (for insurance purposes). I believe the tours are for 2 hours and as far as I know thats all we might be able to get...but I think that would be enough...I mean this place is THAT haunted. We're working on a website once I get it up I'll post a link and stuff but we're always lookin for people with similar interests to join us on hunts. There is a message board somewhere that people share their Waverly experiences at...i'll post that link sometime too...once i remember it. We're called Louisville's Paranormal Exerience by the way. Hince my name LPE1

We're way up in the hills just north of Knoxville TN. It'd be just a little more than a quick trip up there.



If you're on the tour, could you slip away easily, and set up the gear where it's quiet? As long as you weren't there more than a couple of hours, and managed to leave when the group leaves...



I'll put this one on my list of weekend trips! Thanks for the info!

I read your comment and as one of the security guards up there, nobody is allowed up there, but I will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have about the tb hospital and send you pictures of the place if you would like. In fact that place is really haunted, I personally and a couple of other security guards have encountered some scary things happening. The hospital when you walk in to it you think of just an old building when in fact it is one of the scariest and most haunted places around, but as you walk through and get to the fourth floor you start to feel things happening all around you and you will get spooked. BEWARE OF THE FOURTH FLOOR.



All the sayings about this place are not just rumors or myhts they are 100% true if the right people are telling you the truth.



Take my word for it.

duuuude!! guess what. i live a couple of roads from the tb hospital! GO ME!



and the so called "body chute" is actually a coal chute! my guitar teacher knew somebody that worked in the tb hospital. they said that coal would be slid out the chute for the train. you know the set of train tracks along dixie highway? (well, you would only know about them if you lived around here) that's where the coal was dropped. near the tracks.

and people are staying the night there this summer. they know the owner. Tina something.... i forgot her last name....



did you know that the tb hospital was actually a nursing home from 1967 to 1980? 1980 was when the building was finally shut down for good.



another story about the tb hospital is that sometimes you'd see a woman running out the front screaming and crying and her arms flailing with bloody wrists...



and they open the tb hospital for about a week every year around halloween i still haven't been there though... *damn*



and when my guitar teacher was little, him and his friends would go into either the main building or the building where the black tb patients were housed, and they went up a bunch of steps with a big metal door at the top, and then he decided to pound no the door 3 times. then somebody on the other side did the same thing. creepy. cool, but creepy.



would you like me to see if i can think of any other info about the tb hospital? i might be able to go on for a long time
