It's looking like I may get a chance to do an overnight investigation this spring at WH! I am definitely looking forward to it, and hope to come away with at least one piece of evidence.

This place is amazing! I always thought that just maybe people exaggerate this place and it being haunted...until I went for myself. I got about 3 class A EVP's. I also got the chance to witness activity with one of the balls they keep around waverly. They call the child entity that they think is there "Timmy" but of course, naturally, you don't know who it is or if it's even a child at all. What I do know is that something threw one of those balls across the room. It was amazing. You see something like that and you get EVP's and all of a sudden all of your views change in an instant. I hope everyone gets to have at least one paranormal experience in their lifetime.

I use to go to Waverly every weekend with my friends before it was made into a haunted tourist attraction and we would roam that place all the time. IT IS NOT HAUNTED!! People go there already spooked about the place so therefore if you hear one little noise, you think it's a ghost. It's just a big dirty hospital people!

MY NAME IS BILL AND I TOO WAS FASCINATED ALMOST OBCESSED WITH THE HISTORY OF WAVERLY,AND AFTER YEARS OF WANTING TO DO A TOUR I WAS BLESSED AND HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY THRU A "NO SHOW" CHANCE.MY WIFE AND I TOOK OUR SON AUSTIN,MY DAUGHTER ASHLEY AND HER FIANCE JAY.I WENT THERE WITH AN OPEN MIND AND A LITTLE SKEPTISISM BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY FAKE ENCOUNTERS BEING THROWN AROUND I WANTED NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS EXPERIENCE WAS 100%REAL.ALL MY LIFE I WAS NEVER SCARED EASILY AND 1HR. INTO THE 8HR. TOUR CHANGED THAT.AS I WAS STANDING IN THE HALL ALONE WITH A DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER,SOMETHING IN A CALM SOFT WHISPER SAID"LEEEEAVE".WELL THIS REALLY GOT MY BLOOD RACING AND AFTER EXPERIENCING A FEW APPARITIONS AND ENCOUNTERS INCLUDING THE WHOLE BALL ROLLING IN THE CHILDRENS WARD THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE(WIND)WE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE THERE..THE 3RD FLOOR OPERATING ROOM.THIS PLACE FROM THAT NIGHT ON WILL STAY WITH ME FOREVER BECAUSE THIS IS ROOM IS WHERE I ENCOUNTERED A VERY PISSED OFF GHOST.WITH MY 17YR. OLD SON RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND THE OTHERS IN THE ROOM RECORDING,I FELT A FAINT BRUSH ACROSS MY LOWER BACK THAT SECONDS LATER STARTED BURNING.WHEN MY WIFE LIFTED MY SHIRT,THERE WAS 6 LONG SCRATCHES ABOUT 2 AND A HALF INCHES APART STARTING IN MY MID BACK AND GOING DOWN FOLLOWED BY AN EVP THAT THE VOICE RECORDER GOT THAT SCREAMED OUT IN A LOW GRUNTING VOICE"LEAVE".AFTER ASKING ABOUT THE "GHOST" THAT DID THIS IT WAS REFFERED TO AS "BIG BLACK"AND HE HAS ATTACKED PEOPLE BEFORE.THE CAFETERIA IS WHERE I PHOTOD AN APPARITION OF A WOMAN IN A NURSES UNIFORM AND WEARING AN APRON LEANING AGAINST THE WINDOW CLUTCHING HER CHEST AND ROCKING BACK AND FOURTH WITH A FAINT SMELL OF FOOD COOKING IN THE AIR.MAYBE THE SMELL WAS SOMETHING MY MIND WANTED ME TO SMELL WHO KNOWS...IN CLOSING'AFTER HOURS AND HOURS OF GOING THRU PICS AND EVPS,I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THE 8 HR.TOUR AND PLAN ON GOING BACK "

I took a two hour paranormal tour last Friday night 4/2/10 with my daughter and best friend. My daughter and I are both psychic, and I must say that our tour certainly delivered a good number of auidible as well as physical experiences! The first thing that happened is that my camera batteries died while we awaited the tour in the laundry room "command central" holding room for the tour, and then the video that was to be played for the evening's guests malfunctioned. The guides decided to push on to the tour without watching the short film/video. As our group walked the hallway towards the electric shock therapy room- I noticed an older looking gentleman with grey hair and a white coat walking a bit too close to my good friend (I thought to myself that the gentleman was not being very polite)as we all walked the corridor. I looked again and didn't see the man near my friend when we entered the shock therapy room. Then as the guide was explaining the history of the room I again glanced over at my friend and the man was again standing so close to her that they should have been touching! I was about to say something to (what I thought was another guest on tour) when he vanished right before my (and my daughter's) eyes! As we walked a few paces down the hallway- the guide explained that a former employee is often spotted in this area and he wears a white coat!!! I was so excited to have seen a full body apparition!! Later I was pushed by unseen hands in room 502,and all three of us heard the faint voices of children on two different floors! I captured a vivid apparition in the body chute and a spirit form out on the roof. The tour was facinating and well worth our time while visiting from Wisconsin! I have given private psychic readings for years, but never in my life have I seen/heard and experienced the sheer number of events in such a short period of time (two hours). I would invite anyone to experience this paranormal treasure!!

Yyea I know how to get atour there. I have atour date for may 14 from 12 to 4 am. I got on the website andlooked up the number. I called and booked a time to go. Luckily I'm with my dad and his work so it made things easier. It 25 $ for a 2 hr tour, 50$ four a half night which if 4 hrs and 100$ for an 8 hour tour. Definately give a call . I think that for this year 2010 it booked up till later in the year but it will definately be worth the wait.

Guest		06-Nov-2009 18:35
I really have a fascination with Waverly Hills and i dont know why. Something just draws me to it. I really want to go here for a tour or just to check it out, but i fear itll be an overwhelming experience. I was scared the first time i saw a ghost and im scared to feel like that again.

april		23-Oct-2009 19:50
how would i get to visit this place does anybody know???

Bridget		21-Oct-2009 12:10
I live in tasmania apart of Australia in a town called new Norfolk we have a old mental hostpital dating back to the 1800's. It's a huge area which has not been in use for 40 yrs now, but when it was it was fill of tortured souls. ATM the council isn't doing nething with it. Us young ppl go in scare our selves. There haunted in almost every ward. Crazy loonies lived in there, the walls n doors are padded. There are so many stories but basiclly there the oldest haunted place in Tasmania. Our lil piece of Waverly Hills in Tasmania. Google it ~ royal derwent mental hostpital tas New Norfolk~

Lindsay from Alabama		19-May-2009 02:12
I went to Waverly for an overnight tour last night. I must say that it was absolutely amazing but also very scary and a bit terrifying at moments. There are definitely things there that aren't natural. I wasn't seeing much at first but thanks to the help of Mike C., we got some tips of how to "hunt" better. We were with a group of 10 and later on in the early morning (about 2) is when things started picking up. There were noises I can't explain. My pictures reveal much more than I saw with my own eyes. I captured tons of orbs and a few "people." There are videos and evp's that reveal voices, noises. Endless material. Waverly Hills is amazing. I strongly suggest checking it out for those who are active in paranormal investigation. Waverly is not for the faint at heart. It was an extremely overwhelming experience and intimidating at times. I was exhausted both mentally and physically at the end of our night which came at 4am. I can't wait to go back!

Guest		19-Jan-2009 04:41
Very nice photos, any way you could force yourself to go and get some pics at night? I live in South Africa so it would be a bit difficult for me too do so. thanx though

marshall		17-Jan-2009 02:52
for everyone who wants to know.. YES waverly hills is being turned into a bed and breakfast or actually a hotel but only on the first few floors the upper floors are going to be kept as is... if youve never been i HIGHLY ADVISE GOING it is by far the most intense place you will ever go. if you want to have a "PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE" then thats the place to go. i myself have experienced unexplainable occurences up there. but be forwarned its not for the faint of heart.

andrew		14-Jan-2009 01:21
Are they really turning waverly into a bed and breakfast......

Erin		19-Dec-2008 15:09
I want to thank the Mattingly's for restoring Waverly. I have much respect for the building. My great grandmother passed away there. To anyone that thinks they have a right to damage the building in anyway, whether it be graffiti or whatever, God help you. You have no respect for anyone and I can imagine that includes yourself.

Guest		18-Dec-2008 23:15
It's not satanic. Not all Satanist are bad. Its those damn black ghetto people that do graffetti. Satanists hate when people put grafetti on buildings too.

Jessica patagonia		03-Dec-2008 15:41
I feel sad for the terrible dead of the people in this place. May be some one canhelp the souls to go at the place they belong... If any one goes some day say a pray for them..

Guest		22-Nov-2008 08:37
To Jessica: It's actually spelled "grafiti". But you are right. But then again, I used to live in Louisville, and some people there just don't seem to care.

jessica		21-Nov-2008 19:41
I think its bullshit that people put grafeedy on the hospital!!!but i would love yo go there one day soon!!!i herd it was really scary!!!

alesha		17-Nov-2008 01:38
I would love to go there some day soon sounds scary :)

Rissy		08-Nov-2008 00:19
I honestly think that it's really sad that one of the owner's let such a historical landmark get so fucked up. I mean, god! They could have kept it somewhat nice and at least renovated it a bit so that they could turn it into a museum or something. On the other hand, that could disturb some supernatural entities. I just think that it's really shitty how they didn't care for this place like it deserved to be. So much has happened there, so much pain and suffering, so much sadness and despair. It's terrible.

Guest		27-Oct-2008 06:17
They really need to clear out the fag satanist grafitti dam fucken satanists

Guest		27-Oct-2008 06:16
are there any lights in that hospital? man i would love to spend a night in there sounds scary.

Erin		07-Oct-2008 22:39
I went there with my sister, brother in law, and my brother one year for their haunted house funraiser and then went through the real Sanitorium. I'M NOT KIDDING, WHAT I'M ABOUT TO WRITE ABOUT WAS REAL!!!! So we were all walking through one of the hallways, and there was a door way up head, So we were all walking and right in front of my brother in law walk a little boy with a ball walk out in front of my brother in law, but the scary thing was, no body else saw him!!! Then we were walking again, and it was kinda the same thing but this time the little boy stopped and it looked like he throw the ball but I never saw anything bounce or a ball on the floor. But I'm never going back there, once was enough for me!

Patty		24-Sep-2008 23:10
Waverly Hills is being turned into a bed and breakfast. No more tours and no more haunted house. It was bought by an independent contracor I think. It really is a shame. The mere monstrocity of the outside is enough to take your breath away. I went to the haunted house last year and just stepping out of my car and looking up was a feeling I'll never forget. It really is a shame. I was there the weekend before ghost hunter's and they are going to lose alot of money this year. Personally, I think a bed and breakfast won't be as much as much of a tourist attraction as it has been in the past few years.

andrew brothers		21-Sep-2008 21:43

I went in June 2007 with hubby, daughter, & son-in-law. My daughter is obsessed with the paranormal. We heard several unexplained noises, saw unexplained flashing lights. I spent most of my time on the roof, alone. The one thing that got me was the balls. My daughter, Amanda, found a ball and played with it. The enire tour went into a community room with my daughter playing ball with nothing visible. She would roll the ball, it would come back. She would lightly toss the ball, it would come back. She said the room she found the ball in was very occupied, (we have this on video), she tossed the ball, it stopped in mid-air, like it hit a wall, dropped to the floor and darted back at her, like it had been kicked. The strangest thing of all is our photos, they picked up what we couldn't see there. But, the photos seem to change. We go to show somebody the visions or shapes, THEY HAVE CHANGED, to a more graphic detail. I will certainly go back,(and I am very afraid of paranormal), I have to explore!

Guest		02-Jun-2008 01:48

Guest		07-May-2008 14:55
Hi i'm ashley. I went to waverly first week of april of 08 and all of these pictures don't do it justice. It was beautiful in an antique way. But the graffiti has been cleaned for the most part and the building itself doesn't look so cluttered.

My name is Greg, I am 41 and I live in Vancouver Canada. I have been to my share of vacant and abandoned buildings across the country, from old prison to psych hospitals...But Waverley has to be one of the coolest places I have ever seen. I love this site and the pics with it..thy very much...Greg .. Vancouver Canada

MISA		01-Apr-2008 22:54
I am born and raised in Louisville KY and I Have been in the hospital as a teen and at the time it wasn't an attraction to anyone but homeless people, and teens sneaking in too get high and drunk. Gotta tell ya the homeless crackheads were ten times scarier than any ghost. Kinda crazy that you have to pay so much cash to get in now and people travel to see it when me and everyone I have grown up with just ducked under a fence behind an apartment complex and walked a little ways and moved over some plywood to get in. Owell, they should have the homeless guys give interviews bout the place bet they have seen it all.

Mariska		08-Mar-2008 16:22
When i went to Waverly back in October it was really cool and fun. But i dropped my cell phone and it started flashing so i told my dad and he said nothing was wrong with it but the day after that it started calling people. So now that i have a boyfriend it has started to hang up on him so i dont know if i have a bad spirit in my phone from waverly or not.

Taylor		13-Feb-2008 13:08
I can understand how people would think it was creepy but to me, (and I've been around the paranormal all of my life) it's just another abandoned hospital. I've been on over 200 investigations with my sister and we've toured most of the country and this was just not scary enough for me. We went during the day and came back at night. I will say that there is defenitly paranormal things happening there. I believe that they are residual. Meaning that it's just an a playback of a past event. Although I do have to say that these pictures are beautiful. Almost artistic. Well happy hauntings.

Temple152		19-Dec-2007 00:29

While at my sisters in Kentucky for Thanksgiving we all went to Waverly. It was great. My sister and I got some really neat pictures. We want to go back again when we can stay longer and are not rushed by the tour guide.

korin lozada		16-Nov-2007 03:28
hello im 11 years old i am very interested in the paranormal and ive been studying on tuberculosis for two years and i always been dying to go there and catch something and i need phone numbers from someone to give me if they do paranormal investigations to take me on there investigations one day.

gennie		15-Nov-2007 21:22
this place is ssssoooo scary! the girl on the 3rd floor CREEPY!!!

Brock Webb		13-Nov-2007 19:11
I love the paranormal and this place is the best. I watch everything there is to watch on this place. I heard rumors that they were trying to fix this place up and make it brand new. I dont think they should do that. I think the way it is is the way it should stay. I think thats what makes it what it is. Its mysterious. I am thinking about going to see it this summer. I cant wait. I also have my own ghost investigation group. hit me up at.......www.myspace.com/geminiparanormal.

kristina		01-Nov-2007 16:32

Charlie		01-Nov-2007 03:14
From Charlie-I live in Fern Creek, acommunity half way acroos Jefferson County but I grew up about a mile from the Sanitorium when it was still fuctioning as such. I always thought that i looked spooky when traveling US highway 31w but never gave any thought to ghosts and such. I have never been inside the building but in the early 60's after the sanatorium was closed we sed to sled down the hill when it snowed. It was the best sledding i ever did. There was ditch at the bottom of the hill 0n the west side and many of us ended a bumpy ride upside down in that ditch. My brother an freinds and I played golf at the bottom of the hill on the east (Bobby Nichols Golf Course) and never gave the building any thought. It is interesting the attention it is getting for it ghosts now.

Guest		29-Oct-2007 22:05
I never seen this place before with my own eyes. I've only seen pictures of this place. And I hope I'll soon see this place before I die. Ghost only come back to finish something never finished. I think these ghost of Waverly Hills have something unfinished.

Johnny		25-Oct-2007 15:20
Ill be honest, I have a hard time dealing with all these "ghost shows" at waverly. I live in Florida now but grew up just down the street from the old hospital off Dixie Hwy. I went up there by myself about five years ago during the day just to catch a few photos. I didnt even really know about the paranormal activity that supposedly surrounded the place. I just thought it was a spooky place. Well at the base of the tunnel I felt the tempature drop from 75 to about 50 and felt a feeling Ive never felt before. Near that same moment, I photographed a strange anomoly at the foot of the tunnel, which I did not know until later of course. It made me think different about paranormal thats for sure. There are moany other people who feel the same way about this special place but when I see FOX putting dumb models in there running and screaming and making a mockery of what I believe it makes me want the Jesus Statue guy to come back. Taps is OK, but whats next, girls gone wild waverly? I dont want this fantastic place to lose its lore. Keep it real kids.

Nathan		25-Oct-2007 02:31
I've heard that not all of us can see ghost there . Especially when group of 7-10 peoples or more get into building at the same time . I think you may see somethings if they let maybe 3 persons per group come inside building at once . Oh man , how could too many peoples get in there all night it may get the shit out of the ghosts ( if they're exist ) . I am pretty sure most of people intersting to WHS just because they think the place is haunted . And so far nobody who said they saw things got harm by the WHS ghost (as we seen in Death tunnel) . So ask Tina ( owner ) if you can go into small group as possible you may have more chance to say hello to the "502" nurse , young kids or miserable old woman.

OBERSONN		18-Oct-2007 10:05
Bonjour à tous, comment ça va ?. Bravo pour vos photos de Waverly Hills. Je les trouvent formidable. Continuez de faire des recherches sur ce sanitarium, car nous avons besoin d'en savoir plus sur ce qu'il c'est passé dans cet endroit. A bientôt avec un petit bonjour de la Suisse à GENEVE. M.O.

tasha		14-Oct-2007 15:09

Guest		08-Oct-2007 22:33
First of all thanks to Mark and his quality collection of photos documenting what WHS looks like even today. I'm from Louisville and have been to WHS many times. Call me a "proof seeker" because I'm an absolute skeptic but I'm also very eager to experience anything to proove that there's a disturbance or paranormal activity. Who doesn't want to actually believe a good ghost story ... even experience it for themselves right? I have not however wasted the money to stay overnight. If you go ... go for the historical experience and enjoy it as such. Take from it what you will but the bottom line is this: You will never truly experience WHS and the "spirits therin" with a large group of people all driving each other crazy searching for something that their mind is desperate to manifest. ... and in the end I think that's what it is you see in many of these ghost photos people post. It's simply an idea and a coincidence that manifests itself in the imagination and clings to hope we have that somehow those that have passed on are reaching out from the beyond. Well ... sure, okay. Yeah I'm not about to dismiss that idea at all but ... as a professional photographer I will say that if you have "orbs" in your photographs and you believe it to be spiritual ... smack yourself in the head. Where am I going with all this? Simply ... enjoy the place for what it is. Breathe in the history and do your best to live in the moment but don't expect miracles or spirits to materialize before you in WHS if you're in a large ghost-hunting group. Unless you are one of the fortunate few who have had the pleasure of wandering WHS in it's haunted prime before it became so "commercial" I doubt you'll ever come away satisfied as having been "haunted". ... but for the record. Even as a skeptic ... it's a damn scary place and no joke. ~ J

Waverly is without a doubt awesome. I have lived very close to it all my life(other than a few moves but I always come back). Take the tour and if your money allows spend the night. There is no sense in going with intentions of "sneaking in." They do have security guards there and yes they will catch you. There was a gate up I beleave the last time I was there. My wife and I are going soon. I have been there before but my wife has not. The most famous area is of course room 502. It's sprayed all over the walls because of a great local louisville band called Incursion 502 and they have a lot of fans. Rumors are the band use to go up there and spend the night before all the movie and t.v. spotlight it has recently gotten. You all should also check out the movie Death Tunnel, which is about the tunnel they built and used to transport the dead. There was so many deaths that they didnt want the public and patiens to see all the dead bodies so they used the "Death Tunnel."

Hey this place is a thrill seekers palace. Ive been reading alot about waverly and some of the storys alone have sent chills down my spine, but thats what i love to feel. I hope to tour waverly one day and from the storys, i know i will get what i came to get, which is evidence that spirits and paranormals do exist so if u have any information on how i can get a tour let me know cuz im up for the ride.

"Lord Kayoss-you're an ass...this is a place for people to have fun and chat about this historic place-and you gotta go & be a shit and try to be nasty, but notice: no one replys to your retarded comments, 'cause you're the only loser that goes goes to this site to see what people may have replied to your stupid-ass comments. GET A LIFE!! IT IS HAUNTED!! and i'm sure you'll check back and leave some asshole comment" Dear 10-year-old, Sorry to get your little pink panties in a bunch by dropping a cold reality check in your face, but if you'd take the time to actually READ my post you'll find no shittiness/nastiness therein. Just a little dose of something I like to refer to as TRUTH. It's okay to be frightened by it, but resulting to brash immaturity and flagrant obscenities all because someone chooses not to believe a silly urban legend that has easily digested you reveals a vulnerable insecurity within your weak soul. Knowledge is power, and truth is forever. You have a long journey ahead of you, and I recommend getting started right away. With that in mind, you claim this board is for "people to have fun and chat about this historic place." I'm no governor of this domain so by all means, do as you like. But, it's a pity that so many people are drawn to the myth rather than focusing on the building's legitimate, documented history. "'cause you're the only loser that goes goes to this site to see what people may have replied to your stupid-ass comments" ^ In addition to seemingly possessing the intellect of a 10-year-old child, you're also a hypocrite. You seem to be the only one "coming coming" to this board looking for comments to reply to. I'm replying to you yes, but as you can see, it's been well over a year since I've been here or posted anything. "but notice: no one replys to your retarded comments" ^ Except you, Retard. "you're an ass" ^ The only asshole here is you, son. If you can't handle someone expressing an opinion that differs from your's without spilling into some silly self-woven tangent of childishness -- a message board is definitely not the place for you -- whoever you are, Mr. (Safe) Anonymous. Oh yeah, Waverly is NOT haunted :) Good day.

A group of us our have a tour booked for September 7th from midnight to 4:00. We have seen the 2hr specail on Waverly Hills and also the episode from the Sci-fi show "Ghost Hunters". So excited to go. I will come back and post about our trip. Hope we see something.

I am a very spiritual person, I would love to visit the place. In fact it takes a lot to scare me . I would love a challenge.

samantha		16-Jul-2007 08:00
i went to Waverly hills on november 3rd 2006 with a big group of people and naturally i walked around with some i knew. there was 4 of us that stayed together the whole time, and they can vouch for me that there was SOMETHING at that place. in the entry room of floor 2, i was just looking around and my group wandered off to do some exploring of their own. next thing i know it feels like a fist embedded itself in my stomach, and the pain was so intense that i doubled over and almost began crying. there was no one in the room with me, and i didnt see anything around. i yelled for my friends to help me, and as soon as i moved out of that room, the pain subsided, and i told them what happened. they were as freaked out as i was. i dont know what was on that floor, but when i return i intend to stay away from that entry. also on floor 5 in room 502 we all saw what appeared to be a man wearing a white lab coat and glasses peaking around one of the bathroom stalls at us, but when i went to investigate, i saw nothing, yet my boyfriend and the others told me to get out of there because they swore he was still there looking at me. i do believe that the sanitorium is haunted, and there are some angry ghosts there that i hope never to encounter again. no i was not under the influence when i went, and no im not an attention seeker out to spread rumors. this was a real experience i had and i wanted to share it.

Yersinia		13-Jul-2007 18:56
I want to thank you very much for these beautiful pictures of the waverly hills. Unfortunately I will never ever get the chance to visit it - it's just to far away from here and a flight would be much too expensive. So I am looking all over the internet for pictures and I am really happy that I found your site. Thank you!

Guest		21-Jun-2007 18:30
My friend Amy and I, would love to come and check this place out, we seen the episode on fox "The world's scariest places". The idea of paranormal activity, caught our attention, now if we could drag our husbands along for the ride, I would love to take a tour. Infact every summer we go on road-trips and we would love to make Waverly Hills, one of our pit stops. We're hopeing for an unforgetable exerience. Extremly serious, Devon

as i look at those pictures i am transported back in time and i can see the place as it once was, beautiful and new. the destruction of that beautiful place saddens me and i really hope that someone is going to fix it up and restore it. there are bad memories there but new ones can be created. take care of it.

The 16 year old		12-Apr-2007 23:01
I find the place beautiful and creepy at the same time. I think the pictures would be alot better if people were not in them though it kind of made me mad when I saw what could have excellent pictures be ruined by a person standing in the middle of it. Other than that I thought the pictures were awsome

Guest		15-Mar-2007 05:46
My Mother survived at the sanitarium. She had one lung removed and one third of her other lung removed. She lived there for approx. 3 yrs. Her surgery was the second of its kind and the first patient did not survive it. My mother went on to give birth to seven childeren. My Mothers name is Ruby Cromer and I wonder if ever a record of survivers was kept, her name would be on that list. This sanitarium does not give me the creeps but gives me a sense of greatfulness that it existed.

Michael Keown		10-Mar-2007 22:05
I just got done with 32 months at a Veterans Nursing Home. I was glad to get the fword out of there and still be physically fuctional and in pocession of my sanity. I saw the show on Waverly, but had to switch it off when it paralled(even though abandoned)what I had just left. I imagine the VA nursing home with look the same as Waverly after it's deserted and gutted. But, I don't think it will be a 'ghost motel'.

Krysten		30-Dec-2006 02:30
Krysten,this place looks like a really scary place to visit on halloween because of the ghost. Because of nurses hanging thier slefs and jumping off the building.

Autumn		30-Dec-2006 02:26
Autumn,this place has inspired me to be a docter i have been bothering my dad to take me up there but he cant because it is a $50,000 fine. I was going through the pictures and it is unreal that so many people killed there self. I have always wonted a tore of Waverly Hills because I think it would be neat to go and look at all of what happend. I have been to the haunted house and I got the crape scared out of.So I am just telling people if they get the chants to go and get a tore do it you with get to see what that diesase does to you!

Tiffany		27-Nov-2006 12:00

Co&Lean		26-Nov-2006 00:47
I really want to visit this place. Overnight for a 100.00 is not that bad. How do you get full access? We really want ot visit next year and we have a growing number of people who want to go and are willing to spend the night of course we are all hoping that we see some good stuff like Tommy playing with the ball or any of the other stuff we heard about through the t.v. show ghost hunters and celebrity paranormal project. See you next year!!!! OH Baby!!!!!!

MAUREEN		03-Nov-2006 03:38
It would be nice if the celebrity guest would quit screaming. we all know something is upthere. we dont need the theatrics to add to the suspense. Impress us and doa real investigation of the weavely hills. Get togather a real group and do a week long investigation up there. none of the fake tears rolling, the screams from people who arent anymore scared than if they look in the mirror at themselves....give the public what it really wants. a good ole fashioned investigation. how hard would that be?

GUEST		02-Nov-2006 00:01
GUEST AND GUEST ON HALLOWEEN OF 2005 ME AND MY COUSIN WENT TO VISIT OUR AUNT SHE ASKED US IF WE WOULD LIKE TO GO TO W.H. US BEING OUT OF STATE WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN WE GOT TO GO ON WORLD TOUR WHO'D KNOW WE WHERE ABOUT TO GO ON A FRIGHTING ADVENTURE OF OUR LIVES. LATER THAT NIGHT WE WENT TO THE UP STAIRS ME AND MY COUSIN WHERE WALKING UP THE STAIRS WHEN ME AND HERE WERE PUSHED VERY LIGHTLY ON OUR SHOULDERS LATER THAT NIGHT WE WERE LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AND WEW SAW SOMEONE LOOKING BACK AT US WE WHERE OUT OF STATE WE WOULD NEVER KNOW THERE WERE NO WINDOWS AND THEN WE SCREAMED AND EVERYONE LOOKED AT US LIKE WE WERE RETARDED BUT WE BOTH SAW IT SO I KNOW I WASN'T GOING CRAZY!

Guest		29-Oct-2006 23:33
I've always had this strange obsession with asylums/sanitoriums its weird. But recently I had a project for my literature class. We had to right a suspense story so of course I set the story in an asylum. I have never heard of Waverly Hills before this. After completeing my story I watched Celebrety Paranormal Project. Strangely enough the rooms I described in my story looked exactly like the rooms at W.H. My mom read my story before the show aired. She jokingly said that I probably was there in a past life. But seriously what if? I think W.H is extremely facinating. After watching the show I did some research on W.H and found more paranormal activities that related to the story. Strange? Yes. Coincidence? Who knows. If I was a patient at Waverly Hills in a past life, I'd find it really interesting. Maybe I'm just being weird but who knows....

chelsey		28-Oct-2006 11:24
this place looks amazing i would like to visit it i live about 2 hours away from louisville so when i got older i hope to go and explore it!!because i saw the episode of celebrity paranormal and i believe it!!but i really would like to go visit there and hope to very soon!!

Dana		27-Oct-2006 23:27
I just watch thats VH1 show too. I have made it my goal for a while that before i die i want to investigate a haunted place. But with pros with me of course.

megan		27-Oct-2006 23:09
i just finished watching the episode on VH1. and that interested me alot. i would love to investigate and things like that soon. the little boy timmy, i wanted to just cry. how could someone so young go through somthing so hard?!? and i thought the whole writing thing with the spirts was really cool.

courtney		27-Oct-2006 23:02
i watched clebrity paranormal and that show is kool! since about a year ago i've been very interested in ghosts and sprits. i do get freaked out every once in a whole but i luv it!!!!

Brandon		24-Oct-2006 23:22
I just read the comment from Macy below... If you read this, i was just wondering if your sure it was the same place? The only reason I ask is that after it closed it's doors in the early 60's then re-opened and changed it's name, it was more of an old folks home, and a home for the mentally handicaped. It doesn't sound like you fell in to either of those categories. If it is true, you should do ALOT more research about your time spent there! Because for those 13 odd years it was Woodhaven Geriatric Center, it was infamous for patient cruelity and inhumane conditions until it was court-ordered to close in the early 80's for those very reasons. Hope you weren't one of the mis-treated man...

katy		24-Oct-2006 23:04
Honestly, Waverly hills is a beautiful historical building.Paranormal investigation is something I wish to pursue after high school, And I constantly imagine what it would like to visit the sanatorium. I live very near to kentucky, so trust me, I will be in for a tour soon!

i watched actors and celebs on vh1 investigate i think its all true. when i heard abt the boy Timmy on the balcony who played w the ball it made me want to cry b/c he was so young. i 4 sure want to investigate the place 4 myself 1 day very soon.

Guest		23-Oct-2006 05:56
i just finished watching an episode on vh1 where several actors/actresses,etc,went to the sanitorium and were given tasks to perform,to try to communicate with some of the spirits,souls,whatever you wish to call them.i guess if i had to choose,i'd say i was agnostic,i have questions about god,religion,but when it comes to things like this,it isn't hard for me to understand that things of this nature could go on,just because life goes on for us,does not mean that there isnt an afterlife for others.this place,as does others of the sort,intrigues me.i dont know if i would want to stay all night in this place,but to be able to be so close to death without actually dying,would be a possible window into my own soul.maybe it would help me to better understand the whole meaning of life,if death is only to follow.

macy		16-Oct-2006 21:56
My mom called me today and told me that when I was 7 I spent almost a year at the hospital getting treatment. She brought it up due to a film that recently came out about the place. This was in the early 70's. I have always had memories of the place but they were somewhat surreal. After my mother telling me I was sent to that place and her not knowing why, (my step-father enforced it) I am starting to remember more things slowly. Most of what I remember are lots of cameras and tests. But, I never knew of any of this scary stuff until today. Now I am freaked out a bit. I am a normal guy now who leaves in Arizona and owns a successful business. Whatever I did as a child to stay there for so long I hope to discover.

unique		11-Oct-2006 20:07
my parents visited the hospital they got free tickets from some radio show and they talked about how freaky the whole concept was for months.

way back when		10-Oct-2006 05:25
No one mentions the freaky house around back. It is seperate from the hospital. I believe it was like a nurses quarters (or something like that). It is scary too. And watch out for the smell. When we went that Halloween it smelled like burned flesh. It was scary as he**.

way back when		10-Oct-2006 05:18
I have been there over night and it is the most freaky experience I ahve ever had. Back in 94 or 95 (somewhere around there) some friends and I used to go up there and play "tag" at night by splitting into groups of 2. On Halloween in 95 me, my boyfriend, and some friends went. We heard lots of chanting and screaming, and heard awful sounds coming from the death chute. We tried to go down it but got scared and turned around! If you ever get to go...go...but be weary!

My husband, two of my friends, and i are going to waverly hills for a tour, not overnite or anything, on halloween. i'm definitely going to take my camera, although i know i'm going to be freaked out. i can't wait

stevie		29-Aug-2006 14:15
i want to say that myself and 19 of my family and friends are going to take an overnite tour... by ourselves. i cant say how excited i am to be going to such an exciting and historical place. my family is crazy and so open to all of this stuff.. i cant wait

Ms_AnnThrope		30-Jul-2006 03:03
I am going to be brave enough to admit to my wrongdoing. Myself and an other person is responsible for the huge painting of the “Candy man” face. Back in 1999 when Waverly was reopened as a Haunted House, the lady who was running the haunted house hired me & 2 others to come in And paint random graphics on the walls. No, I’m not happy about what I did, and I haven’t been back there since. I’m looking forward to the day that my defacing will be covered in fresh new paint

trina jones		23-Jul-2006 00:38
i check out everything about this place. i also saw the sci fi show. im interested in seeing if it is what is it made out to be.. i believe it is and so im taking a tour this summer.

Hello! Thank You very much for the information Missy. I was in Louisville last year for a wedding, I stayed @ the "famous?" Seelbach hotel.(One of the Maids, had told me the 3rd floor was eerie and possibly haunted..lol) Anyhoo - I wish I would have known about this before I went, I certaintly would have extended the trip. I would be interested in staying the night there. A different note -In my opinion, some of the Graffiti is absolutely stunning - Would be great if the people who sprayed the Graffiti, had a huge concrete wall to do as they pleased, instead of using this building. (Or any other building for that matter.)

Guest		09-Jul-2006 15:39
Ps. I had forgotten about the Waverly. The last thing on my mind was a hospital going to a wedding..lol Although you could probably make a funny joke about that. I had seen the Waverly online many years ago ( as I stated below) along with other Sanitariums that I was interested in viewing. When I say many years agio - I mean 6-10yrs.. If I do not save it (An interest Subject) in my Favourites, I will forget about it until/ or if I see it again. :\

Hello! Thank You very much for the information Missy. I was in Louisville last year for a wedding, I stayed @ the "famous?" Seelbach hotel.(One of the Maids, had told me the 3rd floor was eerie and possibly haunted..lol) Anyhoo - I wish I would have known about this before I went, I certaintly would have extended the trip. I would be interested in staying the night there. A different note -In my opinion, some of the Graffiti is absolutely stunning - Would be great if the people who sprayed the Graffiti, had a huge concrete wall to do as they pleased, instead of using this building. (Or any other building for that matter.)

KIM		07-Jul-2006 20:31
I WENT TO WAVERLY JUNE 24TH AND WAS DISSAPOINTED BECAUSE WE DIDNT SEE ANYTHING..BUT WHEN WE GOT HOME AND WENT THROUGH ALL OF OUR PICTURES SOMETHING WAS SURE SEEING US WHILE WE WERE THERE..ONE OF OUR PICTURES IS ON http://third-eye-paranormal.com/page.php?24 SO CHECK IT OUT..I STILL WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE SEEN SOMETHING WITH MY EYES BUT THE CAMARA PICKED UP WHAT WE DIDNT SEE..WE WILL BE GOING BACK FOR A ALL NIGHT TOUR SOON..

For all you people who think Waverly hills hostpital isn't haunted. Your wrong waverly hills hostpital is one of the most haunted places in Louisvile, KY!!!!!

Lord Kayoss		02-Jul-2006 06:47
For those of you who don't live around here, sorry to burst your bubble but the place IS NOT haunted. I've been there MANY times as a teenager with some where around 150 people over the years and no one ever saw anything except drunken guards stumbling after us. The "haunted" crap is a stupid urban legend that has been blown way out of proportion by druggie losers that have gone into the building doped up and mistakened their high-illusions for actual ghost sightings. This is giving them the benefit of the doubt. Most people visit the place and make up fake-ass stories to draw attention to themselves further breathing false life into the myth. If you want to study the place for it's legitimate history - go for it! But, if you're planning on coming here for a phony ghost reading and hopes of witnessing something supernatural - don't waste your time or money.

Missy		29-Jun-2006 21:25
Miss HollowLuna: I don't believe that they have group rates. I know a 2 hour guided tour is $20 or you can stay 1/2 night (12am-4am) for $50 or a whole night for $100. The overnight stays, no one stays right with you, they let you check it out on your own. All of the money that they make from the tours goes to help restore the building.

Guest		28-Jun-2006 16:57
I'm going up there Friday to check it out.

Guest		27-Jun-2006 00:51
The word is not "hertzes". It's hearses. I want to know what the scratch marks on the tiles of the shower room were from. (I think I can guess... just curious.)

Ms. HollowLuna		26-Jun-2006 19:45
I would absolutely love to go! What is the rate for a Group? Airfair? I saw the show last night. I had heard of Waverly some years ago. The show itself, I have no comment/opinion on @ this moment. What I do know is - I want to see it for myself. To pay to go on a Group Tour would be great! :D

Amon		26-Jun-2006 18:36
Also saw the show on SciFi last night. I saw the one TAPS did that aired some months back and for some reason, this one stood out more for me mostly because they went into the history moreso than the spooky stuff. It was really sad to see how people suffered in those days when medine was still in its "primitive" stages and how patients witnessed way too many bodies being loaded up in hertzes (spell check). One thing though that raised my eyebrow was when I read on another blog site that the footage they used in the show where you saw the bodies being piled onto platforms with wheels were not from the Sanitarium at all but from the Holocaust. Is this true? Why?

Ivette		26-Jun-2006 16:26
I too saw the "Spooked" episode last night on the Sci-Fi channel and I must say that I am very interested in finding out if it is all true. I am actually looking into booking a flight up to Kentucky (as I am in Miami) to go and see for myself... I'm one to "Believe it when I see it" type of person. However, the show was pretty convincing enough to get me on a plane to Kentucky! If anyone else would like to go as a group let me know. I think it would be a interesting experience.

James Syntek		26-Jun-2006 06:00
Great gallery, I too saw Spooked and the Ghost Hunters Episode on Sci-Fi channel and wanted to find out more about this place when I got done watching them, it really seems there is something going in there, hopefully more investigation will be done about this place!

AL		26-Jun-2006 03:06
Saw the "Spooked" episode tonite on Sci-fi, there is no doubt the Waverly Hills Hospital is still occupied. However, the investigative host along with various interviewed witnesses all appear to be from the same area. Maybe I'm wrong but all appeared to know each other. Paranormal activity is highly suspect in nature and open for interpretation a measure of objectivity is required to validate and ensure integrity. All the added sound effects and footage during the documentary which did not pertain to the Hospital discredits a genuinely haunted place.

Vanessa		26-Jun-2006 01:25
I actually saw the movie about the Waverly Hills Sanitorium called death Tunnel. That's the reason I watched the Sci Fi show tonight about it. When it was over I decided to see if I could look it up on the Internet and, here I am.

scott		26-Jun-2006 01:18
i just finished waching a movie/documentory on waverly hills. until today i never knew anything about it. it was very moving and at the same time disturbing. im hooked! i need to do alot more reading about its history.by the way, great pictures!

tyler		15-Jun-2006 23:36
wait intill you here this. about 2 years ago me and my sisters went to kentucky for some reason i dont remember, i was about 11 at the time and my other sister who took me and my other sister there was about 22 and my young sister was about 9. it was summer of 2004 and we all knew of the placeso we decided to visit it at night. we were a little scared but we went ahead with it any way. we got there and the place was huge. we snuck in, and well you know how the lace is haunted well we got what we were looking for, about halfway throught the building we heard alot of strange noises. like footsteps and banging and then when we got to the mogue where the dreaded tunnel is. we dared not go down so when we were walking up the stairs back to the main floor we heard footsteps, we turned around and saw a man running behind us with an angry look on his face, and he looked like a serial killer almost who was nuts. we ran up screaming and when we turned around we didnt see him. so we decided to leave and then we heard what sounded like a little boys voice that said wait........... we were so schocked that we ran out of the building and when we calmed down we looked back up at the building and saw a strange white light on the 5'th floor. well that night we went home, and since then me and my sister the 9 year old who is now going to be 12 have been so interested about it that we always watch shows on the place especially ghosthunters and that spooked video. i live in calverton long island newyork aproxamatley691 miles away from waverly hills.

Andrew Savage		15-Jun-2006 06:41
hey i was wondering me and my friend are plannning to stay over night there next year do you think that is possible

dusty		13-Jun-2006 03:03
i'm going to waverly next saturday. if anyone has any good pictures of ghost orbs ect. please email me a dustyjmilan@verizon.net thanks

guest		11-Jun-2006 19:32
For those of you who are interested in visiting Waverly Hills Sanatorium you can call 1-502-417-4526 (Which is Tina Mattingly's cell phone) or call 1-502-933-2142 for the information on tours. They give "paranormal" tours on Friday and Saturday nights. I believe this month they are not accepting calls on Tuesdays or Sundays. Sundays are when they give the historical tours of the hospital. And to any of you who think about sneaking on the grounds after hours, PLEASE HAVE THE UP MOST RESPECT FOR TINA AND CHARLIE AND DO NOT DO THIS!!! They are trying to renovate the grounds and keep Waverly alive. What would it hurt you to donate $20 to go on a tour and know that your money is going for a good cause and that YOU YOURSELF are contrubiting to helping keep alive one of the most historical buildings in Kentucky? Hope this information helps anyone interested in visiting Waverly.

Walter DeWitt		10-Jun-2006 14:44
I recently saw the episode of Ghosthunters when they investigated the sanitorium. Afterwards I watched the documentary "SPOOKED". It was all about the movie crew that got a good fright from being there. Now I'm very interested and fascinated with the place. I live in Binghamton New York. We are planning a trip this summer, hopefully to get out that way. I'm looking forward to seeing the place firsthand.

brittney		10-Jun-2006 09:17
i went to waverly hills on derby day and when we pulled up the place is so huge and so monsterous. its just amazing how kids and even adluts can go in and paint on something so old and so beautiful. i really enjoys it i got the hell scared out of me one time on the 5th floor i would go back and even stay all night any body who has never been be prepared when you pull up dont be scared of them try and help them. enjoy when you go.

KIM		10-Jun-2006 00:08
IM GOING TO WAVERLY HILLS ON THE 24TH OF THIS MONTH,IM SO EXCITED BUT SCARED TO..PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN ANYTHING UP THERE WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN..THANKS MY EMAIL IS KKWILK@NETZERO.NET

Michelle		09-Jun-2006 20:26
I watched it a couple of nights ago and I thought it was okay, although it has sparked my interest in the history of the place. Explanation of the Death Tunnel was a bit redundant and I don't think they used the interviews to their fullest potential (especially the former employees) but I did like the fact that the current owners are trying to restore the place. And don't forget, most of that damage you see is from vandals that were invited on the property by the second owner. Not age, not disuse..but the work of human hands. It's interesting to note that the patients were generally treated well while it was a sanatorium, but after it opened back up in 1962 as a sanitarium that's when the most patient abuse occured. I feel sad for the people that died there and for the people affected by TB.

Kearsten		09-Jun-2006 10:59
I 2 saw it on the Sci-fi channel. Really creepy! But it's looks fun. I wish I could visit. I live in Memphis, Tennessee. I have never been to a place that's haunted before. I heard that ghost can't harm you at all so, it would be cool to go to a haunted place and see the dead walk around thinking there still alive and can't harm you! The people back then looked so plain and tired looking. I seen alot my great=grandparents pictures when they were young and they looked so old like the 18th century or something. I love to see old pictures like that. I wanna see some old photos of people at Waverly Hills back then...

waylon2		09-Jun-2006 03:49
i thought this is one of the mose interesting things that i have ever saw on the state of kentucky, would you guys please do another program on this hospital soon!!!!!!!

waylon		09-Jun-2006 03:46
i viewed this show on t.v. last night and found it very interesting, i have lived my whole life in kentucky and have been all over the united states in search of fun and interesting things and i never would have thought i had something this interesting less that 200 miles away from my own house.

Gothicfreak102792		09-Jun-2006 00:59
i think it pretty creepy that we all reseached this after watching the same show becuz its the same with me and i have been reseaching this ever since.i also hade some weird dreams about it and been drawing the house ever since i seen this creepy show.

DJ		09-Jun-2006 00:12
I cant understand how anyone could treat people so horrible as some were treated in that hospital. I was very interested in your show last night and would like to find out more about that place.

ren145		08-Jun-2006 17:49
Wow that was a great movie last night i didn't go to bed till like 12 cause i was scared of that little girl being up there. my dad jokes that there are 2 ghosts in our house. one is an old woman i call hery Mary she turns the tv to scifi and turns on the vcr and dvd recorder and the other is a young girl i call her lizzy she opens and closes doors its really cool and scary. but those are just tells my dad tells me to scare me but it dosent. i asked my mom if we could go there for a trip for kjhs thats what the club is called i want to go there just to see the paranormal. it seems like a cool and scary place the ghost hunters and the movie is my inspiration to go. it will be cool if we get to

Guest		08-Jun-2006 16:11
63,000 people died there

gabby		08-Jun-2006 15:25
wow last night i was watching scifi and i saw the show about the waverly hills sanitorium and personally i think you shouldn't try and fix the place up because its an old building and if people mess with it then there is nothing to look forward too.and i plan on visiting the place when i get a chance.

Guest		08-Jun-2006 04:56
I have saw several shows on waverly hills. I think it is an interesting place to visit. There are odd things goin on there at waverly hills and i would like to go check them out myself. I do believe alot of the things that go on here because i have had experiences in my own house that are kind of disturbing to me. A lady killed herself in my bathroom some years ago. I would love to have my own investigated on by professionals.

Scott		08-Jun-2006 04:31
Do you have any "ghost" or paranormal images? Just wondering this is kinda close to home but, I don't want to travel all that way to just look at an old abandoned building I can do that here at home. But anyway just wondering. This looks like a very interesting place to visit day or night especially due to the buildings history.

Margie		05-Jun-2006 15:02
yah i have been there. it is so scary, but not really, JK. it really isnt scary if you didnt go at night. and if you were some random person who had no idea what the building was, then nothing would be scary. it is just you mind playing tricks on you and a very old building.

Linda		24-May-2006 17:12
I'm taking the tour this Saturday (5/27/06) I can't WAIT!!!! If any of you have some TRUE scary stories I would love to hear them. Email me @ petalplucker81@yahoo.com. I am so EXCITED!!!!!!

DJ		25-Apr-2006 02:23
Why are they all daytime pictures? Why none taken at night?

Guest		22-Apr-2006 05:08
Louisville ghost hunters aren't involved up there anymore. 63,000 deaths is WAY exagerated. A historian explained to me his proof that it was less than 6,300. He's really done his research.

shotze		06-Apr-2006 18:31
My grandmother worked in the hospital in the laundry room for years. And her husband worked there too. Needless to say he could only work there for about two weeks. He got sick from the first day and each day he got worse and died a fews months after working there. No one knows what he died from. My grandmother did tell me about stuff going on and on nurse would come to the laundry room to get her bed sheet every week and my grandmother was asking who is she, was when she found out the nurse had been dead for years she quit working there. I think it's kool how the dead still plays with us...

alicia		30-Mar-2006 21:35
I watched the special on Sci-fi last night also and I believe every bit of it. I have been on the tour a few times before and when I went last October there was a lot of activity. We were on the 3rd floor jsut standing in the dark watching and I swear it felt like someone or something was playing with my hair, and when I turned around there was no one there. Spooky, huh?

Guest		30-Mar-2006 21:28
I just watched waverly hills on ghost hunters last night. That is so funny cuz lots of people have said that, its like it influenced everyone, cuz I have been researching all day. But anyways these are nice pics....and look someone drew Candyman haha!

Guest		30-Mar-2006 15:10
I just watched the TAPS program last night on the Sci-Fi channel about Waverly and the place is SCARY!!! But I don't think I would pass up a chance to go inside and look around. I never heard them mention last night how many people died there, but you know it had to have been 100s!? Thank-you for the pictures!! Janet

Savannah		04-Mar-2006 02:54
I think that waverly hills is so cool im doing all this research and im going to go there one day but i looked something up and somebody said there going to reconstruct but thats not going to happen because its our sad but cool history

Good		13-Dec-2005 14:47
This place is so scary i got chased by a ghost and every one that says it is real this thing is haunted.....

Guest		18-Oct-2005 18:37

pam		11-Aug-2005 02:57
we give tours you need to go to www.louisvilleghs.com and you can find information about the tours and the history of the building or go to www.waverlyhillstbsanatorium.com

Guest		11-Aug-2005 02:54
the body count as we know it is at 63 thousand

Angela		03-Aug-2005 22:09
The louisville ghost hunters society if you can catch em, will be glad to give you a tour. As for the body count, I'm not really sure, but a lot of people did die there when it was a Tuberculosis hostpital, a asylum for the mentally and physically challenge, and infirmary. I'm sure it's possible to research somewhere and find out just how many people actually did pass away there.

corean		14-Jul-2005 23:13
look i need to know did any one die in there and what was the body count. i need to know why was it when i went up there i could see the people walking about??? tell me did people die there or not

steph		12-Jul-2005 22:32
I went to waverly hills ,my brother,cousin,unlce and myself was up there before it got dark acoule of years ago and hear a women scarming it sonud like she was diying or getting killed . but the funny thing about it was she was gettig closer to us. it was the scareiest thing i ever hear,seen,and i been to. we was at the tuner. i used to go up there alot but now i'm an mom , and can't go no more .

Guest		18-Jun-2005 06:25
shawna Two people I know are studying at a mortuary school and the third is now an active mortician. I myself am interested in what happens afterward. We are all wanting to take a look through Waverly. I cannot stop reading about it as well. If we drive a few hours from the country, is it possible to get in to see it these days without an official tour?

Ruthie		01-Jun-2005 23:29
You Know it's a shame that people can just go in and destroy a landmark like that.Your pictures were great and will last a lifetime.I went there in 2003 and it was awesome!!!

Lisa		13-May-2005 19:01
Do you realize that if everyone who has posted here would send 20.00 a month to tina(the owner)that 3 rooms at waverly hills could be rebuilt? Corporate sponsers could have that place rebuilt in no time. I was at wavely last oct for a tour, at 10 pm at night thats one scary ass place! over 7 million dollars to replace the windows alone.

Lisa		25-Oct-2004 01:17
I think that its only right that a historical building look historical. It should look old and worn down. A historical site should not look new. The only bad part about it is all the graffiti. Personally I would like to go and clean it out myself, but unfortunately I can't do much from NY. Residents of the hometown should talkto the owners and try to get a cleaning crew together and just clean up the defacement. Don't try and fix the building. If that happens, then its just another new building, even with its history.

JimmieB		06-Sep-2004 22:29
I live here in Louisville and never knew about WaverlyHills. I saw it on a website I frequent and drove there today and got to see it. Only from the back though, I met the owners and spoke with them for a bit. I am completly taken in by this place. I will be going back for the tours that will take you inside. To stand there and look up at the building is exciting, but a little scary too. I can't wait to go back. The pictures here on your website are wonderful!!! Thank-you for a peek inside.

Someone		13-Nov-2003 10:27
Arrggghhh, we catch them before they get a chance to do anything nowdays. Just need more help to fix the place up. Have fun.

RogerV		31-Oct-2003 05:32
Great pictures, but they make me wish that the people who vandalize places like this would get their butts kicked! "Tagging" or whatever you want to call it is NOT art; it's vandalism and destruction of property. Nothing more.

CAROLYN		17-Mar-2003 23:45
IT IS A TRAGEDY THAT THIS BUILDING CAN NOT BE RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL BEAUTY.THERE ARE ALOT OF MEMORIES FOR MANY OF US. THE SUNROOM MY UNCLE TOMMY HAD PICTURES TAKEN IN ,DURING HIS 3 YEAR RECOVERY FROM TB, TO MY GREAT-GRAND MOTHERS STAY TILL SHE PASSED AWAY. THE GROUNDS WHERE BEAUTIFUL AND WELL KEPT. THE PATH TO THE STREET IS OVER GROWN NOW BUT STILL HAS THE STAIRS THAT CARRIED MANY PEOPLE TO SEE LOVED ONES AT HTE TOP OF THE HILL.LET'S DO WHAT WE CAN TO SAVE WHATS LEFT.

M.M.C.		28-Oct-2002 21:27
It would be nice if the photos were labeled so we could tell what we're looking at, where it is on the property or in the building (if known), is this facing north or south, third floor, etc. I've been up there once time on official fire department business to do an inspection, it was fascinating and creepy all at the same time. When I was up there, about 5-6 years ago it was much more over-grown. I plan to return for both the historical and the paranormal tours soon. A truly important and interesting piece of Louisville history....I'm glad the present owners want to restore and preserve it.

ashley		22-Oct-2002 21:06
I have been obsessed with finding out things bout waverly hills since fiday when i first heard about i have live around louiville all my life and i have never even heard about it till then. I cant stop looking for new things to find out. My boyfriend and his friend went sunday the 20th and told me all kinds of stories bout the place but i am still to afraid the risk and go, sme of the stories they told me bout a dog they say that left no footprince on wet floor and a strange green light coming from onedoor and going to the next. My grandfather told me about his uncle that had to go there and died there to. This place is amazing i wish i had learned more bout it earlier. I heard that they were have a gost walk in downtown louisville the 30th to see if any other place have and traces of ghost in them . Hopefullt i get up my nerves and go!

Jennifer		17-Oct-2002 00:04
I am very fascinated with Waverly Hills. My mother worked there when it was Hazelwood. My sister played there as a child while my mother worked they would stay up on the hill in the winter when they got snowed in. I was just a infant inside my mothers belly at the time. I am strangely obsessed with learning everything i can about it. I plan to go there for the tours. Hopefully i can take pictures when i go.

guest		10-Oct-2002 05:10
hey the pics are cool...but what i want to know is if you heard any strange things in there while you were taking the pics..plz email me back and tell me some stuff that you heard if anything because here it is this place is suppose to be haunted and you go and take pics with no problems at all

chrisk		09-Oct-2002 20:39
this place really intrests me...if anyone has video or supernatural pic..plz email them to me...thnx

Guest		01-Oct-2002 19:54
I have lived in Pleasure Ridge all my life, I have been able to look out of my front door and see the Castle on the hill for 41 years! as a matter of fact My great uncle was in Waverly when it was a nursing home, my mother used to go there everyday and take care of him, us kids would go but she would not let us go in. We used to sit under those big trees in the front and wait for her. Our family scandal was that he committed suiside in his closet at Waverly, with the belt from his robe! I have only been there once since then, it was too spooky for me. I only made it half way up the hill LOL

Lisa		05-Aug-2002 16:06
I use to live in Pleasure Ridge and my friends and I would go to the TB Hospital every weekend. I've experienced many paranormal things there. I've heard telephones ringing, people talking, doors slamming. I've been intriged by this place since highschool. I gone up there with a video camera and recoded and I've also got quite a few pictures. I continually search to find out everything I can about it. Did you know there is a 'maze' between a wall that takes you to another room? It is very narrow and twisty, but it's not very long. The first floor still has the red carpet and when your walking up the hill the air gets colder at a certain point, very eerie. I could tell you many freaky stories about this place. I'm glad to see so many people are interested in it as well.

Jamie		29-May-2002 16:55
Great photos but u should take a pic of the inside of the morgue and of the 5th floor(room 502)
