Before places such as Wavery Hills, Rosewood State Training School, and Bryce Hospital became paranormal hot spots, they housed the living. What started off as facilities designed to aid the sick, suffering, and mentally handicap, these good intentions did not last. In the name of medical advancement, many of the residents inside these facilities were subjected to inhumane torture, and procedures. It wasn’t long before death became the norm.

Join us under the Black Umbrella as we go over a bit of history concerning these facilities and the horrific torment helpless people had to endure. It’s not pretty, but it can be a reminder of how thankful we should be to have modern medicine. Would you like to have your ribs spread open without anesthesia? At least today, you would have a choice in the matter. Occupants of Waverly Hills did not.
