The Waverly Hills Sanatorium is a closed sanatorium located in southwestern Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky. It opened in 1910 as a two-story hospital to accommodate 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients. In the early 1900s, Jefferson County was ravaged by an outbreak of tuberculosis (the "White Plague") which prompted the construction of a new hospital. The hospital closed in 1961, due to the antibiotic drug streptomycin that lowered the need for such a hospital.
Waverly Hills has been popularized on the television show Ghost Hunters as being one of the "most haunted" hospitals in the eastern United States. The sanatorium was featured on ABC/FOX Family Channel's Scariest Places On Earth, VH1's Celebrity Paranormal Project, Syfy's Ghost Hunters, Zone Reality's Creepy, the British show Most Haunted, Paranormal Challenge and Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel. Also popularizing Waverly Hills was the film Spooked: The Ghosts of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, released in 2006, which purports to document paranormal sightings at the site
Plans have been developed to convert the sanatorium into a hotel and conference center.
HISTORY:
The land that is today known as Waverly Hill was purchased by Major Thomas H. Hays in 1883 as the Hays' family home. Since the new home was far away from any existing schools, Mr. Hays decided to open a local school for his daughters to attend. He started a one-room schoolhouse on Pages Lane and hired Lizzie Lee Harris as the teacher. Due to Miss Harris' fondness for Walter Scott's Waverley novels, she named the schoolhouse Waverly School. Major Hays liked the peaceful-sounding name, so he named his property Waverley Hill. The Board of Tuberculosis Hospital kept the name when they bought the land and opened the sanatorium. It is not known exactly when the spelling changed to exclude the second "e" and became Waverly Hills. However the spelling fluctuated between both spellings many times over the years.
EXPLORATION:
One of the legends told of Waverly Hills involves a man in a white coat who has been seen walking in the kitchen and the smell of cooking food that sometimes wafts through the room. During their initial visit, they found the kitchen was a disaster, a ruin of broken windows, fallen plaster, broken tables and chairs and puddles of water and debris that resulted from a leaking roof. The cafeteria had not fared much better. It was also in ruins and the team quickly retreated. Before they could do so though, several of them reported the sounds of footsteps, a door swinging shut and the smell of fresh baked bread in the air. A quick search revealed that no one else was in the building and there was certainly no one cooking anything in the kitchen. They could come up with no logical explanation for what had occurred.
Ghost researchers are always drawn to the fifth floor of the former hospital. The fifth floor consisted of two nurses’ stations, a pantry, a linen room, medicine room and two medium-sized rooms on both sides of the two nurses’ stations. One of these, Room 502, is the subject of many rumors and legends and just about every curiosity-seeker that had broken into Waverly Hills over the years wanted to see it. This is where, according to the stories, people have jumped to their deaths, have seen shapes moving in the windows and have heard disembodied voices that order trespassers to “get out”.
There is a lot of speculation as to what went on in this part of the hospital but what is believed is that mentally insane tuberculosis patients were housed on the fifth floor. This kept them far away from the rest of the patients in the hospital but still in an area where they could benefit from the fresh air and sunshine. This floor is actually centered in the middle of the hospital and the two wards, extending out from the nurses’ station, is glassed in on all sides and opens out onto a patio-type roof. The patients were isolated on either side of the nurses’ stations and they had to go to a half door at each station to get their food and medicine and to use the restroom, which was located adjacent to the station.

my sister works there now doing tours and stuff and she has had so many experiences with ghost and have videos of them and it's crazy
Do people really need to spray paint grafitti on everything? They need to get a life and have respect for the people who built the place.
R.I.P TO ALL WHO DIED IN WAVERLY HILL SANATORIUM
I live in Louisville and have been here 3 times. what’s crazy is that it’s literally like right behind a neighborhood. Can you imagine living in one of the houses and looking out your back door and seeing this? But yeah, they need to leave it as is, and not renovate it or use it for anything else. It’s a part of history. I saw so many shadows and the body chute was creepy as hell.
Me and 3 friends “explored” Waverley in I believe 1994 when it was basically unowned and just rotting away. Scariest place I’ve ever been, and not because of ghosts, just because of the massive size and amount of odd things we found. Padded rooms, basement doors bolted shut front the inside, things like that. Real “house on haunted hill” vibe. We attempted to leave via the fire escape on I believe the north end, and came to find out it ended on the 2nd floor... we hung dropped to get out of there, no way were were climbing back up that fire escape to go all the way back through the building to get out.
For that place to be abandoned and vandalized, it sure still holds that unnatural beauty that sends chills down the spine. Not many places can do that.
There’s no such things as ghosts…if there were they would be everywhere… but they only seem to show up in places that you have to pay to get into…hmmmm
Why are all of the most haunted places in Kentucky? Bruh
My papaw lived here for a whole entire year, then realized he didn't even have the illness. ): He lived a very long (and hopefully happy life) after he got out. He passed away a year ago and I miss him to this day <3
Ghosts don't like changes in their homes or places etc. So they will find a way to scare people away. But not all ghosts are rude and mean!
The vibe that that building gives off once you're at the top of the hill standing in front of it will send chills down your spine, I couldn't even leave the car.
I was at Waverley overnight a couple of days ago. I'm very skeptical of ghosts. I'm an atheist, so, no belief in the supernatural. Howerver, there were a few things that are hard to explain. We heard footsteps going through a couple of the rooms as though there were doors connecting the rooms---and there were not. We pretty much ruled out the possibility of it being footsteps through the hallway as those sounded different.
My mom goes past that hospital to get to her work, she leaves at
Many wouldn’t consider a place like this to be beautiful but even in disrepair, there’s always been something about Waverly that’s absolutely captivated me.
I'm so glad that people are fixing up this place. I personally love historic places and if those were "left alone" like some have said about Waverly then I shudder to think of all of the wonderful buildings that would be gone. It is possible to reuse an old structure even one with a dark history and ghosts but it's important to be respectful and accurate. By the way, my grandmother had TB but survived it thank goodness. It's a brutal disease.
Love the old school intro music
Me and a group of my Army friends went on a overnight self tour were they just pretty much let you walk around and it started at 9pm and ended at 7am, needless to say I left around 11pm, it started to get to creepy for me. Wheelchairs were moving by themselves and weird noises.
When we lived in Indiana we used to go to the Waverly, you can see faces in the windows watching you, even though no one was in the building, a man would stand on the roof by the bell tower and just fade away, you can hear kids laughing and playing at what used to be their playground. Our son is autistic, and about 15 years ago, we were at the Waverly, and we heard our son talking, my husband and
Its so good to know that one of these great buildings is being saved. A place that has been a big part of so many peoples lives over time.
There is a hospital in my town with a very similar past. It’s called the Jackie Withrow Hospital in Beckley WV. Part of the building is still used to this day as a state run nursing home. I’ve know people that have worked there and they have all said you can feel the presence of something there. One lady I knew that worked there said you could literally taste the sadness of that place.
