FINALLY! This episode has been a long time in the making. When one views massive, defunct sanitoriums like Waverly Hills, they're often associated with mad scientists performing torturous experiments and angry spirits in the afterlife. That is not, however, the case. Join us as we talk about tuberculosis and why the sanitorium movement was necessary. Also stick around for a history of Waverly Hills Sanitorium followed by a new segment that we like to call The Paranormal Fanny Pack. We'll tell you all about our overnight, private investigation of Waverly Hills and all of the spooky happenings!
