My grandmother was a nurses aid 1955 remember going there to visit we were not aloud around the hospital my grandmothers lived in back nurses quarters will always remember people sit on front porch in wheel chairs in the sun
Thanks for putting this photo album together. I think the place is historic and should be preserved. As far as the paranormal stuff goes, I am a skeptic. By the same thinking, the site of the World Trade Towers should be haunted to the extreme, yet we hear of no paranormal activity there!
I do know they use to pick the bodies up down at the bottom with a train and rail them out towards West point and Fort Knox to the south on 31 W and burn the bodies, at the height for your information 1 person died every hour of the day for a few years. My Great Aunt was a nurse there and a patient. I grew up in Valley Station which is right below PRP.
The elderly lady at 3:15 is probably one of the last living TB patients from Waverly Hills. She was 92 a couple of years ago. Not sure if she's still alive or not.
I'd love to visit it, mostly because it is supposed to be the most haunted building in the world, that and look at it...it's an amazing looking building, creepy looking as all hell, but yet it has a very strange quality, makes you want to visit it....-gets chills- I'm fucking obsessed with the damn place.
at 4:04 that's Ron the Security guard. I got caught sneaking around up there in 2003 when I was 17 and he found me and let me off with just a warning, I wasn't breaking anything, just would sneak up there with friends to look around. Ron is a good guy.
That’s me as an 8 year old kid in that Anime Shirt! God bless you! The bald man with the mustache is my father. He passed away in 2011. The best memories I have of him are from the place! Great song choice too lol
yeah, that's another place this was a 'Sanitorium' not a 'Sanitarium'. This was for sick people not the mentally disturbed. I am fascinated by the architechture of this place. It is an amazing building.
nah, the highest number of deaths in a single year at Waverly Hills was 152. Stewart wrote that the worst time for deaths was at the end of the Second World War when troops were returning from overseas with very advanced tuberculosis cases. Some independent researchers suggest that since 162 people died at Waverly Hills in 1945, the highest total number of deaths possible over 50 years was approximately 8,212. (wikipedia, sources on the page)
From the research that you can do, it is figured that the absolute high end of deaths at Waverly couldn't be more than 8212, with a more realistic number between 5500 and 6200. That is going off of death certificates issued by the county that the hospital is in. It may not be easy to track down, but the info is out there to see that 63k is a bit high. still, 8200+ is rather signifigant...
Nope, not from Louisville. Sorry that you were disappointed but come on what did you expect? It's a building, it's old and it's huge. Beautiful, creepy, inspiring.
I thought this was a great video! I also think your choice of a modern version of Adagio for Strings was very appropriate and ties the old in with the new. For those of you who may not know Adagio for Strings is not Techno or Rave music. It is a very beautiful and touching piece of music written by Samuel Barber in the 1930's. It was played at the funerals of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy.
All kentuckian's know of this place and its realness,i had find out for myself so 3 excorsisms 4,priest later and 1000 hail marys im still plauged by visions and nightmares ....god help me
My mother hates all the hype this place gets. It wasn't until recently did I know that was where her sister died in 1949. She was only 18 and my mom was 17 at the time. Its kind of like turning a place where people died and families were grief stricken into an amusement park. Leave the dead in peace.
My fathers sister from Wayne Co. Ky. was a patient there in the early 30's. She was discharged from there and sent home to die. She died on the front porch of their farmhouse after being given a shot by the local Dr; who basically came at her request to assist her in dying. M. J. Morrow, Cecilia, ky.
@ost324 Wow.. I'm not really sure how to word it right, but i'm so interested in Waverly Hills, its kind of interesting to hear from someone that they were related to someone that had passed away in the hospital.. In no disrespect to your great-grandmother. May she rest in peace.
Where does the "hundreds die daily" (:45)info come from? Hundreds (plural) means 1,400+ deaths every week? The building could handle 400 patients. I say that's an insane turnover rate. They would have to clean out the entire building three times a week. Going there must have been a 0% chance of recovery.
Hello i am kevin with Pa horror and Scare Foundation i have with in my hands lots of research and interviews from many old staff that have passed on now i can give u a 100% actual number on deaths 69,000 people lost their lives some also staff till the location was shut down.
actual evidence concludes that only about a maximum of 8000 people died there in over 50 years. still a lot. but this was over 50 years ago, divide 8000 by 50 is 160 deaths a year (maximum). While it is a lot, im wondering what the avrage death is for a regular hospital now (hospitals which also house patients that dont have anything life threatening) and see how bad things really were
On the tours?,I went on one,but there were so many people around It wasn't too bad,but definatly being there with not many people,or the overnight stays could cause possible self wetting.
It's sad to see old buildings like this just falling apart and wridden with graffiti. This place could make a lot of money if it was restored properly.
you are actually incorrect (as are the "Spooked" and "Ghost Hunter" promos, etc).. The hospital closed as a TB treatment facility in the 50s/60s, but was a geriatric facility until it finally closed in the early 80s. So it has even more history than you give it credit for :)
This is a great video. The pictures are great, the history is great (well not great it's sad that all those lives ended), and the music is great! If I knew about this place when I was about this place when I was down there years ago I would've gone there. I don't think there are haunted places by me so I may just have to drive down there. Would you go with since you know about the place?
Hi Sussie Puffs i'm from the future. I'm sending you this message from 2019 although it won't pop up in your notifications for another 10 years. But to answer your question both the white plague and polio hit in this area.
They was probably more worried about contracting the white plague and saving lives as many as possible and providing comfort and company to the infected.
@darkpa2011 any proof of this? a few doctors had stated the worst number of deaths per year was 152 during the one year. so far, any records coming from there are actually refuting that claim stating that the actual number is around 5,000 to 6,000 total. So I would like to see the evidence of this, I am not trying to be rude or anything, im respectfully stating facts that i know.
Photos 2000/2007 most photos are from the 1900s and music so annoying you lack information on the place 1910/1980 was the time it was open and 100s die daily b s get your facts straight
yeah, it was more like one or two per day died, not hundreds per day. that is one fact nearly every "documentary" on this place gets wrong. when i know i'm being lied to i stop watching, so for that reason i did not watch the rest of this one. if hundreds died daily, the entire population of the region would have been dead in a short time in those days. the "body chute" was needed because the morgue was small and the hospital is at the top of a steep assed hill that old timey hearses had a problem with, making it hard to keep rid of infected corpses.
cool pictures...sucky music. that techno garbage really takes away from from the effect that I think you were trying to convey...It makes it seem like waverly hills meets night at the roxy.. just my honest opinion....
This is a wonderful tribute, and it makes me sad to think of all those that died there. The music does totally set it off. Well done!
I grew up like 5-6mins from this place.. 💟💟
My grandmother was a nurses aid 1955 remember going there to visit we were not aloud around the hospital my grandmothers lived in back nurses quarters will always remember people sit on front porch in wheel chairs in the sun
i hav loved this place all my life since age 11 iv bin saving monny hopeing some day i can buy it
dont listen to this with head phones its a living hell

The hospital was called Waverly Hills because in 1883 the site of the hospital was a plantation by the same name.
my great-grandmother died in Waverly of TB in 1939... I've never been there, but to me it always seemed more sad than scary...
I'd love to visit it, mostly because it is supposed to be the most haunted building in the world, that and look at it...it's an amazing looking building, creepy looking as all hell, but yet it has a very strange quality, makes you want to visit it....-gets chills- I'm fucking obsessed with the damn place.
wow, that was very well put together! but, i was hoping for a little more scary picutures
at 4:04 that's Ron the Security guard. I got caught sneaking around up there in 2003 when I was 17 and he found me and let me off with just a warning, I wasn't breaking anything, just would sneak up there with friends to look around. Ron is a good guy.
It's an awsome place. I have a full night ghost hunt on 4/7! I've been there several times in the past three years.
That’s me as an 8 year old kid in that Anime Shirt! God bless you! The bald man with the mustache is my father. He passed away in 2011. The best memories I have of him are from the place! Great song choice too lol
i feel sorry for you bro... nice to see a new comment lol
Nice use of the "Dead Silence" soundtrack. Was very creepy.
yeah, that's another place this was a 'Sanitorium' not a 'Sanitarium'. This was for sick people not the mentally disturbed. I am fascinated by the architechture of this place. It is an amazing building.

but nice pictures, your still a brave soul to do security there....balls of steel man...balls of steel!!!
My name is Waverly and now I'm thinking of opening up a Sanitarium...one that DOESN'T have over 63,000 deaths :)

Leave the music out. Good god

what-
@@spinik7663 can you read?...English?
You can't compare 3000 deaths with 63 000 deaths.
My mother hates all the hype this place gets. It wasn't until recently did I know that was where her sister died in 1949. She was only 18 and my mom was 17 at the time. Its kind of like turning a place where people died and families were grief stricken into an amusement park. Leave the dead in peace.
Very cool! Please keep me posted.
way cool thnx for sharing :)
How many crazy experiences did you have man? I must know!
thank you!
Great work! It seems when you think you have seen all the historical Waverly photos more pop up! Thanks!
Someday I want to take my Paranormal group there. I think it would be awesome. I really like they historical side of this video. Nice work.
Great vid!
torn down... that would be wrong on so many levels, for so many reasons

+Sarah Fox Wow , what todays medical field never talks about an the days when doctors came to your home ! Thanks for that information
@ost324 Wow.. I'm not really sure how to word it right, but i'm so interested in Waverly Hills, its kind of interesting to hear from someone that they were related to someone that had passed away in the hospital.. In no disrespect to your great-grandmother. May she rest in peace.
America the only place where we don't reuse things talk about Earth day am I right my great grampa died in 1917 there
Stupid music dont go with the video.
I thought it was really good, even the opening of the techno music, just not where it gets all carried away, then it loses it's spooky appeal.
Really enjoyed this!

well despite what everybody else says, I though it was pretty creepy. Good job pal.
Hello i am kevin with Pa horror and Scare Foundation i have with in my hands lots of research and interviews from many old staff that have passed on now i can give u a 100% actual number on deaths 69,000 people lost their lives some also staff till the location was shut down.
Maybe you can upload it with the original Adagio🙏 beings tears into my eyes🥺 and you will get another video with millions of likes😁

Annoying music.
On the tours?,I went on one,but there were so many people around It wasn't too bad,but definatly being there with not many people,or the overnight stays could cause possible self wetting.
If I had the money I would buy it and turn it into a bed and breakfast.
Tracey Hilborn that's what they're doing now lol.
great job!!
5 stars
what's the first song called?

Nice video, well done, what is the name of the song you used in the beginning, it set it off quite nicely I agree.
Nice music :D
is that what the place looks like at 1:28? it looks like cars are parked all around it. did they finnally turn it in to a motel?
This is a great video. The pictures are great, the history is great (well not great it's sad that all those lives ended), and the music is great! If I knew about this place when I was about this place when I was down there years ago I would've gone there. I don't think there are haunted places by me so I may just have to drive down there.

SERIOUSLY? .....ARTIST = TIESTO ?!!!!
when and why did it shut down and where is it?Thanks for making this vid
sometime in the 60's and there was a vaccine out for TB so waverly no longer had much use
You in the Kentucky Air Guard? I retired there in 2005 Crew Chief! My Grandpa Died here in 1944.
Its not goin to be torn down, they are remodeling it to its original state.
Aleks Yatskevich making it into a bnb
+Sierra Pettigrew Really? How do you know?
i dont think the plague hit that area, but possibly pollio
Hi Sussie Puffs i'm from the future. I'm sending you this message from 2019 although it won't pop up in your notifications for another 10 years. But to answer your question both the white plague and polio hit in this area.
What is it with the gay German techno music at the end...That kind of made it sick to watch..
The photos didn't stay up for long enough...slow it down! AND should have kept the scary spooky music pulled from Gatecrasher..otherwise I enjoyed it!
Is this dance music perhaps?
That was a waste of my 5 plus mins geez dude the music alone killed me
I wonder if the people that worked there ever thought they we re working in a building that has become a part of american history?
They was probably more worried about contracting the white plague and saving lives as many as possible and providing comfort and company to the infected.
To the best of my knowledge, there were not 63.000 deaths in waverly hills.. And they didn´t die by the hundreds every day,, The data are not correct.
My partner group is in Ohio, maybe we can set up a date to come there and do an investigation.

Its being restored now
@darkpa2011 any proof of this? a few doctors had stated the worst number of deaths per year was 152 during the one year. so far, any records coming from there are actually refuting that claim stating that the actual number is around 5,000 to 6,000 total. So I would like to see the evidence of this, I am not trying to be rude or anything, im respectfully stating facts that i know.
No cc??
Whats with the gay techno music at the end?
I demand to know the name of the beginning song on your video!
So much suffer....
Restoration or renovation ?
What was the name of this song?
dead silence soudtrack ;)
Photos 2000/2007 most photos are from the 1900s and music so annoying you lack information on the place 1910/1980 was the time it was open and 100s die daily b s get your facts straight
Fantastic, génial. La musique va très bien avec le film. Bravo. Bonne année 2013. A bientôt.
yeah, it was more like one or two per day died, not hundreds per day. that is one fact nearly every "documentary" on this place gets wrong. when i know i'm being lied to i stop watching, so for that reason i did not watch the rest of this one. if hundreds died daily, the entire population of the region would have been dead in a short time in those days. the "body chute" was needed because the morgue was small and the hospital is at the top of a steep assed hill that old timey hearses had a problem with, making it hard to keep rid of infected corpses.
tiesto is dutch ^^
Scared music
Yeah it is. And it's creepy as hell.
Your choice of music ruins the video
This video is uploaded before 12 years ago how will he even see youre comment lol
Totally nonfactual! And the music is crap.
Great photos, terrible music to be played with Waverly Hills. Music from that era would be better
well i felt like poppin a E pill and shakin my thang!!! bad choice of music
the song just ruined everything wth
cool pictures...sucky music.
that techno garbage really takes away from from the effect that I think you were trying to convey...It makes it seem like waverly hills meets night at the roxy..
just my honest opinion....
Ghost
Haunted
Awesome
Ok
haha, i am scared!
Awful music.
Tiesto lol common.
The soundtrack sucks...
What up with the STUPID music
The music on this video sucks...Just sayin...
Why people are so scared of this building.its just an old hospital.
You should visit that place at night or Halloween. You'll change your mind real quick.
its not that bad but like 60,000 people died there
