37. Dark October - The Haunted Waverly Hills Sanatorium

In today's episode, we are heading to a hidden on a quiet hilltop overlooking Louisville, Kentucky, stands one of America’s most infamous haunted locations—Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Built in the early 1900s, Waverly was originally designed as a hospital to treat patients suffering from tuberculosis, or “the White Plague,” which swept through the country with deadly force. At the height of the outbreak, the sanatorium housed hundreds of patients at once, many of whom never left. With no cure available, doctors relied on experimental treatments—ranging from constant fresh air exposure, no matter the weather, to controversial surgeries that sound more like horror stories today. Death was a daily visitor at Waverly Hills and because of this hospital administrators had to get "creative" to hide the multiple deaths a day. To say this place is haunted, doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. Join along as I take you step by step through the history of Waverly Hills and the paranormal that lines every each of the facility to this day. Learn more about your ad choices.
