Waverly Hills

I have been doing paranormal investigations for the past 23 years. My team and I have been all over the place conducting these investigations. We have filmed a documentary and been featured on the show My Ghost Story. I often get asked what the craziest thing is I have witnessed during an investigation, so here it is.

My team and I investigated Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, KY. It is an old TB hospital that is deemed one of the most haunted places in America. If you are interested in the history you can google it and find all kinds.

I will tell you this about it though. On the fifth floor a nurse is reported to have hung herself in room 502. A place in the hospital that is documented as having a huge amount of activity.

While one of my investigators and I were up there we started to experience heavy activity. We are standing in the middle of the hall facing room 504, one room down from where the nurse hung herself. All was dark and quiet when we started to hear what sound like hard sole shoes on a tile floor. The floors on this floor and throughout the hospital are grey concrete. We listened for a few minutes as our recorder was going. It sounded like someone was just pacing back and forth.

At each end of this hallway is a doorway. The doorways lead to outside on the roof. When the hospital was in operation they put swing sets and things of that nature for the children who were struck with TB.

So we are excited and concentrating on the activity going on in room 504. But something kept catching my attention to my right. With that being one of the doors leading outside, I kept my focus in front of me.

When it got too much to ignore I finally turn my head to the right so I could try to figure out what was distracting me. Because that part of the floor was outside it wasn't completely dark, but pretty much. There were street lights in the distance making it easy to see a figure or something of that sort.

I turned my head quickly to the right and what I saw stunned me. I saw a black figure. Not standing in front of me or passing by the doorway. No, this thing was black like a shadow but with much more depth. I watched as it crossed over the threshold... On the ceiling. I saw it put its leg over the threshold and push its body into the room. It looked like something you would see in The Ring.

I couldn't make out a face or anything but it didn't scare me. It didn't seem threatening or evil. Actually I felt like it saw us and wanted to get a closer look by coming into the room but by turning my head I caught it. As soon as I saw it, it kind of jumped as if it were startled, and then it disappeared.

So that, folks, is the craziest thing I witnessed on an investigation.
