Louisville,KY
Located in southwestern Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky. The original two-story building opened in 1910 to treat and house approximately 50 patients with tuberculosis. With the “White Plague” rapidly increasing, a new five-story hospital was built and opened on October 17, 1926 that housed more than 400 patients. Waverly Hills closed in June of 1961 due to the decrease of tuberculosis after the introduction of streptomycin. The santotrium has a 500 foot long tunnel that was originally built for employees to use and also for supplies to be brought into the sanatorium. During the height of tuberculosis, the tunnel was used to transport the bodies of those that passed away from the disease. Today, people refer to it as the “Death Tunnel” because of the high number of bodies that were transported through the tunnel during those times.
Shortly after closing, Waverly Hills reopened in 1962 as Woodhaven Geriatric Center. Woodhaven housed aging patients mostly in various stages of dementia, those that were physically and mentally handicapped along with other conditions. Woodhaven was closed by the state in 1982, due to reports of abuse and neglect. The building remained empty and closed until it was bought in 2001 by Tina and Charlie Mattingly and is now primarily used for giving historical and paranormal tours.

Opened in 1910, Waverly Hills was designed to house 40-50 tuberculosis patients. But as the disease hit epidemic proportions, it was expanded to quarantine hundreds. Home to the infamous body chute (or death tunnel), it stopped treating tuberculosis patients in 1961. 
During our tour of the front of Waverly Hills, dark and ominous clouds indicated an early-summer storm was well on its way.

Some might call this flurry of orbs in this photo undeniable proof of the paranormal. But at Grave Concerns Paranormal, we refer to it as ‘rain.’

More Halloween art – looks like someone payed attention in art class, huh?

Here’s one of the many souls who allegedly haunt this historical building, and a stark reminder of the numerous lives lost within these walls.
