I remember visiting my Grandfather, when I was a child, in the old Sanatorium. He had TB and almost died. He was at the brink of death, and I remember my Grandmother telling him... He was in a comatose like state at the time. If you're going to die, just get on with it, because she couldn't keep coming up there if he was just going to wither away and die. That place gave me the creeps as a kid. Well don't you know my Grandad snapped back and lived another 10 years or so. My Mawmaw knew he was just cantankerous enough to snap back, if she sassed him a bit.
That's amazing!!!!!!! your so lucky!! I wanna go. (I'm a very paranormal person..)
Lol grandma had sass!
@CygnusXII Thank you for sharing that story. That's awesome how he survived!! Thank you for giving us Hope & a laugh during these covid Times which seem endless at this point.
Great story 👍
Thank you for sharing!
This place is definitely on my bucket list
I would love to see this place completely renovated. It's a major part of history. With renovations done now... This place could look amazing! 😍
it shouldn't be changed at all it's history
Went there one year for a Christmas light show(didn't enter the building, my family and I were outside) and when we were leaving, our car radio wouldn't work. No matter how many times my dad restarted the car, the radio was still all static. When we got home, we restarted the car and the radio was perfectly fine. At the Christmas light show we were also talking to this other family about the hauntings. Not necessarily the most solid paranormal experience, but I think about it till this day.
Damn dude
I’ve been about 7 times, my phone broke last weekend when I was there for a 6 hour. And we asked the spirit “why are you breaking my phone” and it replied “breaking” through the spirit box and I couldn’t get it to work until I left the room.
@@rcj-ns6pe oh wow. First of all, I'm sorry you're phone broke 😅 but secondly, that's a really weird and cool experience.
😂😂😂
LOL they are actually planning on turning this place into a bed and breakfast???? bad idea....
yeahp better a orirignal museum
100%
They’d have to pay people to stay there🤣
Imagine the hauntings!
Lmao yall are lame
I'd be curious to know what the oldest buildings look like if they're still up, like the old school and the first part of the hospital structure before it grew.
Theres not much left theres the main hospital a couple small.building on the back I assume where for utilities of some.sort there is a smaller 2 story building at the bottom of the hill by the rail.toad tracks only the front stone face remains but it's in similar architecture of the hospital front theres also stone foundation scatters throughout the wood at the base of the hill not sure what they were for mynparent land backs up to Waverlys property and we use to ride 4 wheelers up.there all the time as kids just exploring but it's hard to do.know since one person died from falling from.the bell.tower and another two guys were electrocuted from a low hanging power line in the surrounding woods security is pretty tight if you were to walk and be quiet you would be fine but they listen for quads and will roll up on you in a heartbeat
I have a client that used to come into the salon Margret Baugh that used to be at Waverly. There are a couple of videos on youtube about her. I havnt seen her in a few years I hope shes ok. She was 94 last time.i talked with her
Well at that age she's dead jow
@@SearchingNewAdventures yes she passed away about 1 week ago
@@thesnoozebutton2568 I'm glad she lived a good long life despite her bout with TB!
@@riggs20 yes she did I'm sure!
Anyone who lives in Louisville, Waverly looks a lot like DuPont Manual Highschool, lol. My opinion, the front part anyway.
I been there one full night... Nothing happened.
PD: Someone wanna try again, just let me know.
It does tho
Same architect
I do but I’ve never been there.
it 100% does
this man really said "yeah this place is haunted...anyways THAT VIEW IS PERFECT FOR A RESTAURANT ON THE FIFTH FLOOR!"
I went and Let’s just say I’m no longer skeptical of the paranormal or ghost
I still hear “leave” or “help me” each time I pass by that place going to college in New Albany
Rose SnowDragon That’s awesome
I lived beside waverly i had to change bedrooms with my oldest daughter because at night you could hear screaming the security use to come to my house to use the phone for a ride home they would ask to take my 2 dogs (they were chow and pit mixed) they were scared my aunt was a nurse there
The hospital is on a hill. No houses are around it.
East pages lane is on a hill and yes there is houses by it and Bobby Nicolas golf course
I’ve been there , it’s definitely haunted 😂💀 I Hate to break it to ya but Im 99% sure no one would spend the night there lmaoo .. keep it the way it is & just give tours
A lot of people go around staying at haunted hotels hoping to catch a glimpse. If the owners can raise enough money to get it in good condition, I'd bet they'd have a nice source of income. Not to mention the folks who would come just for dinner and a view on the 5th floor!
The unknown does not like to be disturbed. And as soon as this building opens to the public , people are going to run out the front entrance without looking back. Trust me on this. You will run. And run you shall.
People spend the night there all da time
I went here a couple years ago with my FFA chapter. I think it should stay the way it is. It would be really creepy as a hotel and it just doesn't seem like a good idea.
FFA for life
@@mikewise5810 what is ffa?
@@rememberthealamo9728 FFA is Future Farmers of America
Cool, I'm there. I want to stay in 502. Love ghost stories
stacey van adder same
Did you?
502 is a bathroom
It's like something right out of a Stephen King novel!
i like that hospital and i hope to have a chanse to visit it - your freind from algeria
WTH
Say hi to Mary lee and Gertrude and Timmy for me
so this was published in 2011.....I was there in 2017, still an old rundown building
Was there 2 weeks ago. Renovation is underway. I think its awful anf won't due well. Their tours are selling out months in advance. I have some good ghost pictures. I wouldn't go back to this new thing once its done
Went in october, 2019. It was A MESS at that poiny.
Still doing tours mid 2022
I can see it being a bed and breakfast however it would take a long time refurbishing it, I mean does one have to worry about asbestos? Looks like a building that can become mind me saying would make the Stanly hotel appear less haunted?
Imagine you want to turn WHS into a restaurant/gift shop kind of thing. Taking away anymore chances of anyone wanting to investigate it.
A place that once had pain, suffering, and death... hope you make it past your first year with the b & b idea.
This was 11 years ago. Still no restaurant or bed and breakfast but it’s about to be Halloween!
The music in the beginning of the video I thought we was getting ready to watch The Little Rascals
I want to go so bad. I dont want theatrics and Halloween crap I want a small group of people and just have a free roam investigation. Im sure thats impossible but maybe five friends and a guide could work. The site says private tours for minimum of 20 people... (so what if five of us pay four admissions each?) Im gonna contact them and see. I live on the West coast and I've been fascinated by this place since I first heard about it almost ten years ago. And Im really really drawn to it for some reason. I've only done about a dozen investigations but I have captured incredible photos at 8 different places so I feel like this trip is a must do!
I live in Kentucky, I've been their and it's defiantly spooky lol
well maybe it's perfect that idea but i think it's better put all the old thing where are putted in the original place and the original stuff and make the museum mos accurate posible yeah a musseum not a mall or restaurant!
Id keep it how it is.
what song is playing in the beginning??
i love this pleace on of my vaforites
I have respect for the dead its not their fault they were put there these were people had a lives once but some thing in them snapped! These people were ripped apart and taken away from their families and put in a hospital that was closest to decent to hell as you can get! Nobody understood what really went on so many people died at Waverly Hills and I think their trapped and lost souls and tortured souls that were in pain! To call someone crazy well have you walked in these people shoes to know they are insane? What these people needed was love! They never got that they were just used up thrown away and burnt out! I think that these spirits are still in that hospital and have unfinished business! There was a story about a nurse who hung herself because she was so depressed over the conditions of the hospital she couldn't take it! On the 5th floor were patients that were damaged and they were harmful to other patients so many children died at Waverly! These people were damaged souls and they didn't even exist because society hated them and they were a threat! Most hospitals back i 1920s thought they were doing the right things when it fact it was the wrong things! May GOD have mercy on these lost souls I hope they are in a better place now!
Angel Simone you can't love tuberculosis, old age, or crazy away.
@@vincestepp2071 hope you never get old or sick then .
@@simoneskeens6983 I know...what a crappy thing to say!
TB is a REAL disease! It is called The Forgotten Plague for real & very terrible reasons!! If you think TB is not a real illness you better wake up.
@@vincestepp2071 No but you can still treat others like humans. These patients were treated very inhumanely 😠
I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING ENOUGH MONEY TO RESTORE A BUILDING OF THIS SIZE. I THINK IT IS FINE TAKING TOURS AND EXPLAINING WHAT WENT ON IN CERTAIN AREAS, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT DISRESPECTFUL. I DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF USING THIS AS A HAUNTED HOUSE ENTERTAINMENT, BECAUSE I FEEL THAT IS DISRESPECTFUL TO THE PEOPLE WHO STAYED HERE AND THE ONES WHO DIED HERE.
Here in louisville ky around Halloween time we get 4 hr tours they let us pay to stay the night to do are own investigation anf theres ghost kids we can play ball with😊
They have been doing it for years they make money off the tours
@@sharronhogan523 Also, the person I spoke to was very rude.
@@starreneebrinson5045 That's fine. As long as you're respecting the deceased. Many people record and start trying to expose ghost's.
I don't see any scary about this .in fact I was amazed about history of this Sanotorium
This places have ghost and it follows you and so many people have heartattack
I don't think I will be booking a room here lol
Was that ghost I seen suppose to be on this documentary lol I was really wanting to go and see for my self
My cousin spent the night in there he was videotaping in side and I got to watch the video , you never know what your going to see
Waverly hills sanatorium-here,Charles Mattingly telling me about how Waverly got its history and how Col. Hayes purchased the land to build a school house and later became Waverly Hills--this is the history I have been missing--Charlie Mattingly thanks for telling me about the rest of the history
I now found out that Waverly Hills was a one room school house,1926 built, Gegoayric hospital-108,000 square feet this is huge
So sad 😭😭😭
Lol Yall can just eat by Yall selfs cuz I'm gone be at home lol
U from kentucky?
They MUST NOT turn Waverly Hills Sanatorium into a bed and breakfast! I will sign as many petitions as I can to keep that from happening! I was unable to save Danvers State Hospital from the fate that befell it, but I won't allow it to happen to this place!
😂😂😂🙄🙄🙄
You’re not that important
Love to live in there's to take care of it
Renovating was a bad idea. Better to have kept it original.
When the mattinglys bought it It already had most fixtures etc yanked out and no windows. It needed to be closed up keep the weather out and cleaned up so people can appreciate it.
Lol bed an breakfast a disaster ready 2 happen
I d love to go to a place that's haunted.
They should restore it and use it for the coronavirus
Exactly what I was thinking although care there would be very expensive, obviously. Also if any residuous hauntings are negative energy/angry types they would not be good for the Patients.
Sup also from Kentucky
so after innumerus ghost videos: absolutely nothing but hearsay
Why would you still want to renovate it if it is still haunted? People would be scared to even enter the building alone even after everything was painted and renovated inside, the ghosts spirits would still be in there forever til you demolish the whole building.
Even if you demolished the building... The spirits would still be there. They don't just magically disappear. The land and anything else ever built on top would be haunted too. Even more so as the spirts will be very angry.
Seriously, I think you would find that the very fact that it is haunted will attract more people than you could imagine!
Did they see ghosts?
Time to dine with the dead
SpooksTheSpookster call dibs on dining with Mary lee and Gertrude
*customers walking in* Person who runs the resutraunt and knows the history: "A nurse totally didn't hang herself here...." yea.. ok good luck.
I would stay there. Is it on Booking.com already? 🧞♀️ 🧟♂️🧟♀️🧞♂️
No it was never remodeled for that purpose. It is still in its original state. It is on the historical register so they may have ran into issues in that front
Charles Mattingly
Owner/Renovator
It doesn't matter how well they renovate the place it's still going to be haunted , all those poor souls don't have anywhere else to go and the cemetery on the property , if they make it a motel it won't last very long people will be too frightened to stay there but i would stay there for at least a week I'm an exorcist and I'm not afraid of demons
Watch at 6:27 what is that?
Bats
Those places are creepy as they can get!!!!!
ruclips.net/video/WX4ymWoXfh0/видео.html This woman was there for TB. Before making all these jokes of hauntings...watch her recollection.

Sometimes it's best to tear buildings like THIS down!They want to always hold on to misery..their is absolutely NOTHING good about preserving suffering!WTH🙄
These buildings are absolutely important to hold onto. They only built so many of these “Bat Wing” style sanatoriums across the United States.
Not everything about this building involved suffering, of course that happened. But many many people had lives there, worked there, made a living there. Doing what they thought was helping people.
Architecture like this is extremely important to keep, it tells a story of where the US came from and where the medical field came from.
Creepy
That’s a stupid idea to turn it into some tourist attraction rather than preserve it how it is. I bet it’s not even haunted their probably just trying to real in costumers for their stupid hotel. The whole point of it would be exploring the abandoned building to see if it really is haunted not go to a restaurant with a nice view and stay at a weird hotel in a wired location.
It's the 2nd most haunted in the world
omg bed breakfast ar ya frigen nuts, who in there right mind would go to a place like that for some R-R were there was sickness an death all around, not my cup ov tea, but that's just me I guess
i'm all for restoring it somewhat but bed and breakfast..no thanks
Is Charlie Tina’s husband or brother
HONESTLY, not a bad choice of view for people who were looking at their last days of life. GIVEN we didn’t know the abilities of killing TB, or other types of diseases, this place had top views before death.
I don’t condone the means of the deaths, but I would have to give the fallen the better views.😂 I stayed in the Bexar County jail. Now a Holiday Inn Express.
Kentucky is bit that bad now tho
Very interesting, but why keep it up unless the draw is to get "ghost hunters" to cover the cost of taxes, knock it down already
108 thousand square feet, could make a great homeless shelter
Stories, whoop! whoop! Not really
502 now I have heard four different stories, which I s true again?????
Yeah I really want to go there and wouldnt want it to be changed, just remake it how it was if they have to change a few a things, get rid of the tagging that idiots done ruining the building, fix the electrical wires so if there is ghost they can suck the electricity and be seen more to bring in revenue to keep the place standing
This place isn’t haunted, but it is a huge place with history
Either you've never been there or you're skeptical. Either the way the supernatural/paranormal is real
i really think its that haunted i really really dont
Mad dad broke in to this place when he was 16 before they took all the beds and stuff out and he'd go thriftier the body "chute" it's really a mass grave
The body chute is not a mass grave. Never was.
A mass grave 😂😂😂😂
hospital dangerous+ra
who else is here after watching sam and colby video
I am sure it’s haunted but not more than KZ Auschwitz or any other concentration camp in Europe. Imagining the amount of deaths being an indicator of suffering spirits lingering in the property. I am very sensitive to this type environment and although curious couldn’t visit as I will definitely feel sick.
Lol renovate it? Really? goodluck getting people back in there 😂
As the God of War.. are these places seriously haunted? It’s a joke
I love historical places but the ghost bs gets so old.
Oh look - people died here! Definitely haunted... 🤣🙄
That building is not haunted! I went there a few months ago and didnt see a or hear a thing! Had a bunch of idiots singing ring around the rosie though which was entertaining.
Brad Smith it is haunted I live in Kentucky I've been there and heard somany noises at night
killer jake yeah I think it is haunted to people who believe in that stuff. Had one friend with me see and hear a lot of things. Personally I don't believe but the place is still awesome. Going back this year
Hello brad smith as a vidid ongoing regular to waverly it is very much haunted I've heard and seen stuff the place is absolutely gorgeous me and my husband been 6xs already I've seen full body shadow people and heard all types of different things go walk around the 4th floor I promise you this you will see something I'm sure big black or the creeper will make an appearance
They sang that old kid's song about plague and STILL nothing happened for you??
@@ih8googletons476 Not at all. I was trying to not be so skeptic why I was there but just didn't hear or see nothing except bats
