# 29- Waverly Hills Sanatorium, Louisville, KY
We're now heading down south to Kentucky to visit what some say is the most "haunted hospital in the US." The Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Built in 1910, it was a hospital for tuberculosis patients. Fun! At it's peak, deaths were occurring about one every other day. A tunnel or "body chute" was constructed so patients didn't have to witness the disposal of bodies. More fun! What could be better than watching dead people roll by as you're lying there, sick as hell, praying for death yourself? It closed in 1962 when antibiotics became available and these types of hospitals were no longer needed. It is estimated that close to 63,000 people died there.
Sightings of a little boy bouncing a ball down a long hallway and an old woman chained, bleeding, running and screaming have been reported. Doors that slam themselves shut. Human shapes that move around. Voices coming from nowhere....like they do. So, who wants to spend the night? We can go sliding down the body chute! Just in case you need some more convincing, here is what's waiting for you...
Well, I've got my sleeping bag and toothbrush ready to go! Ya, right...But you go ahead. Let me know how it works out for you. I'll pick you up tomorrow at the bottom of the body chute...
*footnote*'
I realize I am headed for a sanatorium myself. People make me crazy and I had a no-good-very-bad day! I only ask that I am drugged and drooling, blissfully unaware that I have gone insane and am surrounded by ghosts....oh and if it's not too much trouble, please don't send me sailing down the body chute...
