016 Waverly Hills Sanatorium


Listen Later

In Ghostly’s sixteenth episode, Pat

and Rebecca explore Waverly Hills Sanatorium, one of America’s most haunted
places. A school that became a tuberculosis hospital and then a geriatrics
sanatorium before being abandoned for many years, Waverly Hills is now open for
tours and many who go in skeptics, come out believers. Friend of Ghostly and
listener Mike Morrissey was one of those people and in this episode, he tells
his story.
