Waverly Hills Sanatorium (Haunted Hospital)

Quite a few months back, a group of people and myself went to Louisville, Kentucky to visit the Waverly Hills Sanatorium. This was once a hospital in very early 1900's to tuberculosis patients. It is now regarded as one of the most haunted hospital in the United States. We drove down to Louisville and hung around in our hotel room until about 11:00pm and then headed to the site. The tour started very late and it was pitch dark outside...and inside. We were only allowed to use our flash lights when we were going up and down the stairs, everything else was just light by the moon, which almost added to the creepieness. The hospital was huge and the picture below does not fully capture the entire hispital and I wish there was someone standing next to the building in the photo so you could just see the massive size of this place. The tour was crazy as well as creepy. They told a bunch of crazy stories of people dying and experiences that people have had with ghosts. One of the pictures below is the "body schute" this is where they started taking out dead bodies once so many people started to die, they went this way because it was harder for patients to see them leaving this way and they did not want to discourage them. I also recall at one point that we went into the mortuary and they asked if anyone wanted to get in one of the body coolers...no thanks, haha. It was a very interesting experience and I would definitely like to do it again. This tour only lasted a few hours and was with a group of like 15 people, they offer tours where you can stay all night and just have a group of close friends and explore and do what you want to see if you can take part in any paranormal activity. Also, I know that they are working on making part of the hospital "hotel like" so that people can also come and stay the night there. Also, quite a few people like ghost hunter and TAPS have been there to explore.
