A Semester Spook

04/25/2013

So usually around this time people are freaking out about finals, their grades, and if they are going to graduate or not. Am I right? What if I told you that last weekend I spent 8 hours literally freaking out. From Saturday at midnight until Sunday morning at 8am, I was up.....CHASING GHOSTS. My friends and I decided to get all of our work done ahead of time and spend the night at Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Waverly Hills Sure, it doesn't look that scary right? WRONG. This is one of the scariest places ON EARTH. Waverly Hills Sanatorium was a hospital specially for Tuberculosis patients. The building consisted of 5 floors with never-ending hallways. Over 63,000 patients died in this place. What did they do with the dead bodies? They threw them down a 483 foot tunnel (originally used for building the hospital). Body Chute Inside The Morgue part of the 1st floor Patients who were more likely to live longer or be more responsive to treatments were able to enjoy the fresh air on the OPEN balcony side of the hospital. Other patients who weren't so fortunate, we stuck on the other side of the hallway where they were confined. Or they were sent upstairs to the 5th floor where they never exited...alive. Patients on outter skirt of hospital It's a scary place at night I'm not going to lie, this place was extremely scary. There are things I still cannot explain. I saw things with my own eyes that I will never forget. I heard things that the people in my group also heard. We captured a few creepy things on camera that are interesting. This image was caught by a person in our group: Uhhh, yeah. That was walking around while I was there. My experience at Waverly was among one of the creepiest I have ever encountered. It opened my eyes to a whole different world. It has my mind racing and my blood boiling. BUT! Let's not forget that the devil has his ways. He plays tricks and tempts us. He does anything and everything to lead us down the wrong path and away from God. He's not fooling me! :) -if you want more information, visit their website: http://therealwaverlyhills.com/newsite/
