In this episode of Paranomenon, Kaden and Devin take you inside one of America’s most infamous haunted locations—Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. Once a sprawling tuberculosis hospital and later an understaffed, deeply neglected geriatric center, Waverly’s history is steeped in tragedy, experimental surgeries, and countless reported deaths. We explore the dark past of the TB epidemic, the brutal “treatments” used on patients, and the decades of suffering that shaped the building’s reputation. Then we dive into Waverly’s most legendary hauntings: the Creeper, the Doppelgangers, Timmy and the children’s ward, Room 502, and the chilling body chute. You’ll also hear firsthand stories from former investigators and volunteers—including encounters with shadow figures, intelligent responses on spirit boxes, phantom footsteps, and entities that seem to follow visitors through the building. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, Waverly Hills has a way of leaving its mark. Have your own Waverly story?
