American Horror Story and Waverly Hills Sanitorium
Interestingly, the asylum in American Horror Story reminds me of one of the best known haunted locations in this nation. It bares a striking resemblance to Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Of course, Waverly Hills was never an asylum. However, the hospital in American Horror story was once a tuberculosis hospital. According to the first episode, the asylum used to be a tuberculosis hospital where over 40,000 people died. When it was a tuberculosis hospital, there was a tunnel beneath the hospital where the bodied were pulled out of the hospital for disposal. They call it the death shoot. Waverly Hills also had a long tunnel beneath it. In this tunnel, motorized carts were used to pull the bodies from the hospital to be disposed of outside of the hospital. According to some rumors, as many as 100,000 people died in Waverly Hills. Waverly Hills was opened in 1910 and is located outside of Louisville, Kentucky. It has become a popular paranormal location and is considered by some to be the most haunted place in The United States. I have to wonder if the inspiration for this season's American Horror Story wasn't drawn from this amazing real life haunted location.

People who think negatively always sees the difficulty in every opportunity, while successful people are always looking for an opportunity in every difficulty.
Greetings, success always and I wait behind the visit: D
I went to Waverly Hills a few years ago with a some friends. It takes a lot for me to be scared. While walking in I had the strangest feeling come over me, like someone was watching us. We were hoping to get to stay the night, but that was a no go.
I would definitely go back.
Katherine.... I would love to visit Waverly. It sounds like your experiences were amazing. You have made me want to go there even more.
per say, but I worked on construction
remodeling the Farview state penitentiary, inWaymart,PA.
for the criminally insane.It was a creepy place, They had these weird paintings of clowns, flowers,etc... I guess to help keep the patients calm.
I worked there for months and never had anything happen until this one day, I was working in the basement, there was a long hallway
that had rooms to the one side.I was working in one of the rooms by myself, jack hammering a part of the floor to install new pipes,
out of nowhere, The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and a chill ran up my spine, I threw the jack hammer down and spun around like a cat, but nothing was there.
It felt like someone was right behind me, it freaked me out.
Later in the week I was talking to a guard and he told that was the morgue I was working in.
I bet if they had someone do an investigation there, they would
have an eventful experiance.
