Since the enormous rise of Tuberculosis in America and especially the state of Kentucky, Waverly Hills Sanatorium has stood on the top of a hill near the city of Louisville for decades. It was once a massive hospital which saw thousands of patients, a terrifyingly high portion of which dying within its walls. It was abandoned for the better part of 20 years and miraculously still stands today as the paranormal epicentre. Join me today to find out why!

Only in Kentucky would someone try to build a 100 foot tall Jesus statue on the site of an old sanatorium
What does that supposed to mean exactly?
Kentucky doesn’t make sense, Florida does
Only in Kentucky would the government start a zombie virus outbreak
They should reuse it for Coronavirus.
There is much I don't understand about Kentucky. Was that newspaper article about the same McConnell that is still in Congress today?
Finally, something abandoned that fits the Halloween season.
YUP! This'll be fun
Yes!
Not abandoned to where it can be explored..
I am one of a few who have actually been inside the building whileit was functional. My mother volunteered there in the early 1980s. I barely remember remember it
The only fact you got wrong is stating Waverly hills sanatorium is outside of Louisville. At the time it was built it was but now Louisville is basically Jefferson County.
One thing you missed and is talked about is the body shuit.
I live 5 minutes away and im to scared to visit it.
Interesting fact: My great grandfather was the chief engineer there from around 1950 until it closed in 1961. My father would tell me stories of playing in the body chute as a kid which always weirded me out, lol.
Thanks for the upload! :)
❤❤❤❤ nice 😂 much love from Cleveland Ohio
@@StrangeRealityVlog Canton here. Too bad we didn't preserve our local places like they did here.
Good thing your great grandfather got enough exercise there while he was fighting Tuberculosis as a boy. Did your father want to become an engineer or did he have another career goal in mind at first while being a freshman?
@Knight-of-Sarcasm they let it rot for 50 plus years, how is that preservation? Should still be open, many people need to be in asylums today
OMG as a Louisvillian, I LOVED this episode!! I grew up just a few miles from Waverly. In fact, in the fall, when the leaves were off the trees on the hills, we could see the tower in the distance, from our back yard! It was the subject of MANY ghost stories told late at night, in our treehouse, lol. As an adult, I visited it a few times, for the haunted house and tours they had there. I never saw anything spooky (other than the whole place itself, lol), but I will say, when we went into the old morgue, there was a place in the room where the air was very cold. Much colder than anywhere else inside, or outside. There could be a perfectly rational, scientific explanation for that. But there was definitely a cold pocket. Waverly is beloved to us locals, even in its decrepit state. So many of us have grown up with it, with the stories, with relatives who worked there or were sick there or even -snuck in after it closed- visited there. (My uncle, back in the day, and my sister's best friend, much later. They didn't vandalize anything, just explored.) It used to be a lot easier to get into. Though one of the stories about the place was that there was a security guard with a guard dog, who lived there, and would sic the dog on you to chase you out, lol. The story I heard about the tunnels, or "body chutes", as everyone I've ever known has always called them, is that the doctors were afraid for the living patients to see just how many people were dying, as it could lower morale, and cause many of them to stop fighting, give up, and die themselves. So the used to chutes to transport the bodies, so that this could be done in stealth. But that's just local lore, who knows for sure if it's really true. I remember the Jesus statue proposal, too, and how it wasn't terribly popular, lol. And one of the stories about the nurse, was that she had an affair with a married doctor and became pregnant, out of wedlock, ofc, back in the days when that was a mortal sin, and the doctor abandoned her, so she hung herself in room 502. Incidentally, 502 is the area code in that area. So I don't know if her suicide being said to take place in that room is true and a cool coincidence, or if that room was picked for that reason, and it became part of the mythos. But still, a fun little fact. Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH for highlighting a feature of my home city!!! We are so proud of Waverly Hills, for its historical significance, and, yes, for its incredibly haunted reputation, which is a cool thing we can claim as ours. It's a part of us. We love it. Yes, it was a place of suffering and pain (I've heard that the nursing home it housed, in particular, was absolutely DISMAL). But there was also a sense of community there. There were schools and events right on the grounds, because, like you said, they couldn't leave. Even the doctors and nurses. Friendships were formed, relationships began, there were even times of laughter and fun. It wasn't a fun place. ofc. But they made the best of it, in their bad times. And because it's being preserved, those people who suffered and died are being remembered. Not forgotten. And much of the money from the events held there, is what makes that preservation possible. Also, those events that take place bring laughter and fun. If I died somewhere like that, I think I'd like to see that it's now a place of positivity, and that people were learning about it and preserving it, at the same time. Just my opinion. I d want to offer one tiny correction to what you said: Waverly is 20 minutes from Downtown Louisville, but it still IS actually in Louisville. It's in the suburbs, right in between the PRP/Valley Station areas. Other than that, PHENOMINAL video, and SO exciting to see my hometown on your channel!!! Thank you again!!!
Update: I talked to my sister tonight, who actually went up there with her best friend. She said there was indeed a security guard up there at the time (about 30 years ago or so). She said he didn't actually live there, but that he DID have a mean guard dog he'd sic on you (probably from the end of a leash, as no one wants people suing them for getting dog bitten, even if they were trespassing) and that yes, they would chase you out of there. So, there's that, lol.
Uh they literally have tours…-ex louisvillian
@@TielerFriedline yes, they do. Why?
You literally spelled the name wrong every single time. Waverly not wavery, makes your entire story pretty unbelievable. If you had lived so close for so long, or been inside a you claim, how did you not know how to spell its name?
@@insertnamehere2635 Why is there ALWAYS someone, in every single thread, yelling "FaKe!!" Uh, ever heard of typos? Obviously I was excited and typing too fast, and autocorrect got me and my fat thumbs, lol. And then my dyslexic, ADHD brain missed it, when I proofread. It happens. And it's all fixed now.
But yes, I absolutely did grow up in Louisville. In PRP. And I'm proud of it. My father still lives in PRP, and my sister in Shively.
And anyway, if I was gonna lie about Waverly, I would've come up with something way better. Like, I'd say I communicated with one of the spirits up there, or something. But no, these are just the normal memories of someone who grew up there, and the excitement of seeing my hometown featured on a prominent platform, for the whole world to see.
Sorry to disappoint, lol.
Edit, for yet another typo. Lol.
I love that you made this video on Waverly Hills. Other videos go on about how "haunted" it is, but they never go into the depth of its history that you did.
I grew up in Louisville and fondly remember sneaking into Waverly with friends in the 1980's. This was before the scrappers started tearing the place apart. We used to scare the crap out of one another with spooky stories but never saw anything paranormal.
This sounds like the most fun ever!!
This thing was built in 2 years ????? Wish they could throw up solid building like that now.
No Union slugs in that era
One thing I never understood was debate over what the tunnel was used for. How hard is the concept it was used for multiple things to understand?
I'd love to see you do one of these on the Missouri State Penitentiary. It's more preserved history rather than abandoned at this point but still a plethora of content.
Especially because the prison needs repairs in one building, and needs all the help it can get
I love hearing out of towners try to pronounce Louisville lol. Thank you for bringing more awareness to our little slice of haunted Kentucky 🖤
I just wanna hear someone say it the local way for once😭
Part of our problem up here in NE Ohio is we have Loo-es ville/Louisville so you'll often find us mispronouncing your city.
@@KdubbleYTyou basically swallow the whole word. Loo-uh-vull. Pronounce the "uh" part super quickly. If it sounds weird, congrats you got it!
@@profoundcake Ik how to say it I’m from Louisville. You just never hear anyone say it the local way like anywhere else is what I was saying
I always watch via my TV. Got on the app solely because the pronunciation hurts me 😅
Nashville TN - Tenn State Prison has an incredible amount of history and looks like a castle. This would be a Great episode to film.
What’s up jake, its Steve. Watching this on Amtrak crescent out Of Atlanta. What a cozy surprise to nightcap for the overnight northbound! Thx!!!
This whole place seriously gives me the creeps. I don't know why, but something about it just gives me the sense that there's something in there. Regardless, this is another incredible video Jake, and I hope to see more infamous haunted abandoned locations in the future!
I live within driving distance of it and everyone in my high school who went there said how off the vibes were like it actually felt haunted. Never going there myself lol
ghosts are not real
@@joshuarodriguez8922 This, lmao. "Gives me the sense something is there". More like, give me a break.
@@joshuarodriguez8922Ghosts are indeed real.
Years ago I spent a night in November in Waverly Hills. Some of the folks who stayed, all gathered together on the 4th floor to await paranormal activity. I preferred to go to the 3rd floor by myself and just be peaceful. I must not be attractive to spirits as I had no experiences. All was quiet and peaceful. What an amazing facility for it's time. It had headsets on the screened porches so patients could listen to news and music as they rested and breathed fresh air. Amazing history.
Hey Jake! You should cover the Walter E. Fernald Developmental Center and the adjacent Metropolitan State Hospital both in Waltham, MA. From what I know, they're both abandoned metal hospitals with a lot of history
I visited an abandoned sanatarium in Maryland this year, and was confused by the continuous porch that every room had access to. I was like , "wow, they had their own balconies! How nice..."
It's really interesting to now know what they were for.
I live in Maryland and I’m always searching for places to ghost hunt and to explore. Can u send me a message more about the place u went to?
@@AbandonedExplorationUrbex1979 Yeah, sure! It's called Glendale Hospital.
History - It opened in 1934 to house tuberculosis patients during the tuberculosis epidemic, consisting of 23 buildings and over 200 acres of land. In the 1940s, when a vaccine for TB was introduced, cases dropped and the hospital was used for other medical purposes. For the rest of its operational life, it was a home for the criminally insane. In 1981, it closed its doors permanently due to high levels of asbestos in the construction of the building, and because the cost to remove and replace the asbestos and lead paint was too high for the property management to afford. It hasn't been demolished, due to the immense cost it would take to contain the asbestos particles that would be released into the air by the demolition. Surprisingly, despite only having been abandoned since 1981, the hospital is almost unrecognizable compared to how it looked during its years of operation.
If you plan to visit, these are the things you should know:
- Due to the lead paint and high levels of asbestos, you MUST wear an N95 NIOSH approved particulate respirator.
- The grounds were patrolled for years, more heavily during some years than others, but now remains under little or no security. When we went twice, there was zero security, and we even saw a few other people exploring it as well. There is no fencing blocking any of the entrances, as the property has a public road with neighborhoods lining it that runs down the middle of it.
- We parked just behind the main building, at the WB&A Trail parking lot on Electric Avenue, so our car and license plate couldn't be seen by any possible police. We went through the woods to the back of the building to avoid being seen walking on the main road and into the property. There is an entrance to the building in the back, directly into the sanatorium. The hallways are very long and many of the rooms are the same. You'll find elevators, some that have crashed to the bottom and some that still sit, waiting for passengers that will never come. I wouldn't recommend entering any of the elevators, as the stability of them is uncertain. Next to each elevator is the motor room, where you can see the pulleys and huge steel motors that carried the elevators up and down. The staircases in the main building are made completely out of solid steel set on concrete, and are surprisingly very stable for the condition that the building is in, so going from floor to floor is easy and pretty safe, for now. A lot of the drywall and dust has settled on the stairs, so take your time going up, as the dust piles cause the stairs to be uneven, and you could slip if you're not careful.
- Access to the roof is simple, you'll find a ladder, one on each end of the building, on the top floor, where you can climb up into the roof. The roof, just like the stairs, was surprisingly very stable and solid, no holes, mushy spots or collapsing sections. The view is beautiful at sunset, I would recommend watching the sunset there.
- Bring a friend or a group, as it is extremely creepy, especially at night! You don't want to be there alone, as I mentioned before that the hallways are very long and dark, especially at night.
- Obviously, bring flashlights but be careful shining them through windows that face the main road.
- If you touch anything, DON'T touch your face until you can wash your hands thoroughly, as there are likely asbestos particles on everything.
- Make sure all of your phones are charged in case of an emergency.
- And lastly, plan for this to be a few hours, as the property is large and exploring all of the buildings will take you a while. We have only explored the main building and the smaller children's building on the other side of the property, and it took us 3 hours or so.
As the property is private and there are a few "no trespassing" signs, you understand and accept the risk of being caught and fined or arrested. Be respectful of the property -- don't damage, vandalize or steal anything, and don't litter; people have died here and respecting the land is extremely important. I do not condone or encourage any disrespectful acts such as the ones I listed below. Stay safe, protect yourself and have fun while also being respectful.
Tip: We made it a whole day trip and spent the morning and early afternoon in Washington DC, and then headed to the hospital in mid-afternoon. It's a half hour drive from DC. Afterwards, we got dinner at a very unique and delicious restaurant called Silver Diner. I would highly recommend it, their milkshakes are the bomb!
Hey Jake. Have you ever thought about doing a video on the "old" Williamsburg Pottery in Williamsburg, VA? A LOT of people have great memories of going there! I would love to see a video on the abandoned grounds and buildings still standing!
I lived in Louisville for a while, and every time I passed Waverly Hills I would get a little chill. Not from ghosts or anything, just thinking about how much suffering and death happened in that place. Glad to see you cover it for spooky season!
Finally, something local! A family friend of mine visited Waverly years ago, and this video makes me want to visit it myself! Great video!
Jake- BSF was the first and only channel on YT I subscribed to for years... it has been awesome to watch your skills grow and flourish in this space! Thank you for holding strong and assembling such interesting videos! WHS is near where I live now and you did it justice with this video!
Thank you so much!
well i suppose it being used as some sort of space for local activities or ghost tours etc is better than it getting torn down altogether
Suggestion for an episode: Frontier Village in San Jose that first opened in 1961. It was a small park with western themed rides and attractions that would also host corporate events. It provided summer jobs for older teens and college students (I worked in the saloon and my best friend ran the Ferris Wheel and drove the narrow-gauge railroad train) In the mid-70s Fess Parker wanted to develop a bigger park in Santa Clara--that ended up becoming Marriott's Great America. Frontier Village couldn't compete and closed down in 1980.
Love the channel...keep up the good work!
I went there often as a child growing up in San Jose. Always wondered what happened to it and Santas Village
I grew up in Louisville during the 80s and 90s. Me and my friends would sneak into Waverly a few times. My last time inside there made me a believer of some the rumors of being haunted
Should do one on Eloise hospital in Michigan. I had a great aunt that worked there. Definitely an interesting place to talk about.
Yes!!! Eloise is an awesome abandoned building that needs a high quality video going over the history!!
@@GARRISON1 And bright sun films is the only one that can do it!!!! There is a cool video here on CZcams. It’s a bunch of still pictures of the hospital and what they did inside. The Metallica song “Sanitarium” is playing in the video.
This is so cool how a couple have taken it on and are trying to restore it. It’s nice to see a positive ending. There are a couple of places in the town I live in - where couples have taken on a massive project In order to restore them to the former glory.! People call them crazy - but if we don’t have them our history will be lost!! Another great episode Jake!! 👍🏻😁
It's honestly refreshing to see a more analytical video that is professionally done on a quote-unquote haunted place. I listen to podcasts and always find myself questioning when the notoriety for places like this got their start,vAnd when did it become Financial for the ownership, who perpetuates these stories. I would like to see more videos in this same vein as, like you said, you can actually visit places like this and it would be cool for those of us who aren't into breaking and entering / trespassing to be able to visit places like this
I agree with your last sentence specifically. So much of our local history has been destroyed by urban explorers or vandals.
My grandmother was a patient there back in the '30s. She was there for about a year. When I interviewed her for school about her time there she had nothing but good memories and said her time was pleasant there. She had a milder case compared to other people
I’ve been subscribed since 2015 and your Abandoned series is what got me hooked on your channel! So cool to see how far it’s come
This reminded me of Eloise Asylum in Westland, MI (Metro Detroit). That facility has a crazy history from poorhouse to sanatarium to one of the largest mental hospitals in the country.
My hometown's most notorious place! I've been in a few times for the haunted house, and another time for a nighttime tour.
HI SUN ,, I LOVE ALL YOUR TEACHING VIDEOS .. I AM GLAD THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO SAFE THIS BUILDING IN WHAT EVER WAY ,,CAR SHOW , HORROR WALKS,, THIS BUILDING IS HISTORY I AGREE WITH YOU.. I WAS IN THE ARMY MILITARY THEN WAS A R.N. NURSE IN MY LIFE AT A HOSPITAL FOR MANY YEARS ,,. WATCHING YOUR VIDEO DOES TELL THE OLD DAYS OF TRUTH,, ITS AWFUL TO SUFFER,, I HAD PNEUMONIA IN 2016 IN THE LEFT LUNG THAT WAS HELL I FEEL FOR THOSE PT.S,,, I FINALLY GOT BETTER .. THEN IN 2019 WE ALL WORKED WITH THE COVID PT.S WE DIDNT KNOW IF WE WOULD GET SICK,,, WE HAD PT.S DIEING , GOING HOME , THEN OTHER PT.S IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A MONTH .. I CAN FEEL THE PAIN FROM THESE PT.S AND THE DR.S AND NURSES IN THOSE DAYS ,,.. THANK YOU .. ARMY MEDICAL VETERAN ,(RET)-- (RET) R.N.
Jake, If you do read this, I would love for you to make a video about one if my favorite buildings, AMC Headquarters, in Detroit, it’s been demolished now, but I think it deserves a video on your channel, it was such an amazing building, even in it’s final days, it was still so amazing to see.
I’ve lived right down the street from waverly hills most of my life and I didn’t even know some of these facts. Thank you for your research!
Thanks for watching!
I LOVE your videos. Great stories, amazing narration... you are brilliant. Thank you for always putting so much into your videos. You are truly a class act. 🖖
Thank you so much!
Thanks for covering something near my hometown of Louisville!!!
My parents visited Waverly Hills for a ghost tour once. They remember others in the tour group claiming to see ghosts and even being touched by one. And at the end of the tour everybody has to say goodbye to the ghosts or the ghosts will follow you home.
Hey, it's very intact and still recieves use. That's far better a fate than your other entries.
You're very good at talking about abandoned, bankrupted and canceled things. Keep it up.
Maybe someday for your next bankrupted episode do: Lyricks Studios (aka Lyons Group), the company that first created and produced the early Barney the Dinosaur eras,
Ghoul Boys fans, we here? 👻
Proud shaniac here.
HEY GHOOUULLS!
THE BOYS ARE HERE!
You know it, friend!!
Boogaras assemble
Boogara!!! Hahaha watching this after watched the ghost files version
Love that you did this video!!! Always so informative and you're a great factual story teller!!
Thank you so much!!
Yay new Bright Suns Films video!! You are one of my favorite channels such high quality videos and you have a great voice for narrating
You should look into Central State Hospital in Milledgeville Georgia. It was an insane asylum that started in 1854 and ran until the 70s. It’s full of tragic stories about “treatments” for mentally ill and mass graves. It held over 15,000 patients at its height.
I've been watching this series for several years now and it's one of my favorites on CZcams. Abandoned retail is great and I enjoy some transportation related topics: Yellow Freight, the New York, Ontario, and Western Railway, and Consolidated Freightways. Would love to see those featured in this series.
Excellent documentary, very thorough! This was truly fascinating.
Chris is here, oh no.
Great story with a 1% happy outcome! You're such a talented filmmaker Jake.
You should do silo number 5 in Montreal’s old port for a future video! It would fit really well with the theme of the series.
I love this series so much, it's so interesting taking a peak into the past, and your preservation work (because that's what this is!) through this series is phenomenal. So many of these places often fall into complete disrepair and/or are completely demolished, leaving future generations unaware of their history. Thank you for not just making incredibly interesting videos, but also preserving the past.
You should do an episode on The Enchanted Forest in Ellicott City, Maryland. It opened in 1955, closed for good in 1995, and sat abandoned for 10 years (until active preservation began in 2005).
It closed years before I was born, but my mom used to go when she was a kid and most of the structures were moved to a nearby farm for preservation, so I've actually seen some of the original pieces of the park!
Well researched. The Mattingly’s have hours filled with video from the security cameras. I was also impressed that you got the name of our city, correct. I noticed you didn’t mention the murder of the homeless man that happened there during its abandoned period. A homeless man and his dog was living there. People broken in l Ben Hill person, and his dog They threw the bodies down the elevator shaft and set him on fire.
But if you want information regarding stories and history, you need to talk to Dale. I believe he is part of the historical society provides tours
He didn't pronounce Louisville right, but I never expect that. Do people think Waverly Hills is in Cincinnati or something?
From what I can tell, there's no actual record of a homeless man being killed there (people can't seem to agree on whether it was a homeless man who was killed, or a security guard who just fell down the shaft - I think neither are true), nor do experts believe that a nurse killed herself in Room 502 (they mentioned that there are no records of suicides, but also said there was nothing in the room that you could hang yourself from - there were certain pipes, but those weren't added until long after the suicide would've happened). I think all of those stories are just local legends that give the place an air of spookiness, and the people who profit off of the tours have a motive to keep those stories going around.
Just did a tour here last month so it was awesome to see you post a video about it.
My wife and I love watching your chill and fascinating videos. Your research and videography is respectable and well tuned. Keep up the good work Jake.
Another sanatorium that has, in my opinion, beautiful exterior architecture is the Molly Stark Sanatorium that has been sitting abandoned for many years.
Where is the building located? Just curious 🧐.
Would love to see you cover Harder Hall in Highlands County, Florida sometime! There are a lot of rumors about its haunting but also it's just crazy how many times the property has changed hands to no avail
Great now I have to go watch Shane and Ryan investigate this place again. Thanks.
I’ve heard of this places on another video of most haunted places on earth. Some of the photos give it an eerie feeling, like something used in a horror film.
We’re getting so close to 100 episodes of Abandoned! I cannot WAIT to see what amazingness you give us for 100 and everything in between till then!
As another native Louavillian, I would like to say "thanks!" for the video. Have you considered doing a video on Guntown Mountain? It was a wild west theme park located by Mammoth Cave, which is 15 to 20 some odd miles south of Waverly (down I-65).
Omg that building needs to be restored..... I would love nothing more than spending every day showing that building the tlc it deserves. It would cost, but it would be worth it! I miss architecture that had more details to it on the inside. It's the little things that add up. And it was built to be solid.... omg give it a beautiful garden to just stroll through.... 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Dude, this was incredible! If you ever plan on doing abandoned videos similar to this place, I would say the Statler Hotel in Buffalo is a really cool spot! It was plagued with mafia activity, and I’ve heard that it’s in the process of currently being remodeled!
I loved the footage you guys chose to use in this one! Love it and as always, I love the abandoned series. Great job bright sun films!
Thanks so much!!
Another great episode. Love the content. Please never stop.
Would love to see you do a piece on the Buffalo Central Terminal. I volunteered there in college and it's where I fell in love with architecture, historic preservation, and adaptive reuse. It's in ok shape now but the exposure you could bring to it would be invaluable.
I visited Waverly last November. I can't really say if it's truly haunted or not (I'm not really a believer but I tag along with friends that ghost hunt), but the building is beautiful. There's something amazing about seeing it in person, you just have to stop for a minute to take it all in. I really want to go back someday. Although most of the outbuildings have been torn down, there's still foundations and staircases where they once were and there are maps within the building of where they all once stood. If you haven't been, I definitely recommend the place if you like abandoned buildings as much as I do 😅
But Waverly isn’t abandoned to wear u can just walk in to explore. The property is owned and watched and it’s used for ghost hunts.
It is terrific to have one of your Abandoned topics ends on an uplifting ... spirit.
You might want to look into Trayelja which was in Lake George, NY. It was originally a private mansion built as a retreat deep in the woods I think in the early 20th century. It later was sold and turned into an insane asylum for wealthy people to send “problematic” family members. I grew up not far from it and heard the horror stories. It closed and the building was burned by hunters (supposedly) in the 1950’s. The foundations and fireplaces are still standing. It would be interesting if you could post a piece about it with more details. I’ve visited the ruins and it’s creepy to just go near it. Some rooms in the basement had what looked to be attachments for shackles on the wall. Hope you look into it. Thanks for posting.
Fascinating bit of history. Thanks for covering!
Tks for the good documentaries, I used to live in St Kitts near you, glad to see you succeed!
It's not abandoned any more but the H.H. Richardson complex that was formerly the buffalo psychiatric center might be a spoopy exploration. Its now(partially) a hotel and events center.
What is spoopy?
@@insertnamehere2635 its like spooky but me being cute about it
HEY JAKE! Do an abandoned episode on the northville psychiatric hospital! Very interesting massive abandoned asylum complex near me that has an interesting history
The building with no windows has temperature changes? Im shocked 😀
Another fantastic video! Been watching your content from the very beginning and it just keeps getting better and better. The addition of Bankrupt and your new travel reviews really makes it one of the best channels on CZcams! I would love to see a video on “The Ridges” in Athens, Ohio. It’s an abandoned asylum.
There sure used to be some beautiful hospitals in the past...
I'd love to see you do a bit on the Metro North Mall in Kansas City. What used to be a booming mall is now all torn down except for what is now a freestanding, out of place, Macys. And the land all around it is currently being redeveloped.
As always great video. 👍 This place is on my bucket list.
Hi Jake! Very interesting subject and video. I love the paranormal side of things and do believe that any location that had this much suffering and anguish had to leave residual energy of some sort. So I’m glad to see that the historical side is being preserved and respected. Always enjoy a new video from you!
Thanks for your great work, Jake. I love this channel!
OMG MY HOMETOWN!!!! Thank you for the awesome video Jake !!!
I had a friend growing up who lived in the neighborhood at the bottom of the hill that Waverly sits on. We would sneak up through the woods and poke around a bit, but we never got up the nerve to actually go inside. The sheer size of it is so ominous and it just feels like you're being watched from the windows. I really hope they leave it as it is and don't try turning it into some stupid hotel. I recommend the tours if you ever get the chance, especially in October
i would rather see it turned into a hotel than this nonsense
So cool to see you cover something from my hometown! Great video!
Love this documentary - amazing job and super informative. I’ve been to Waverly Hills, and I can say it’s a very ominous but awesome place that I hope to visit again. I recommend to anyone that they visit if they’re able, and I highly suggest taking the night tour.
You should do Greystone Psychiatric Center in NJ, it was unfortunately torn down a couple years ago. The building was amazing, was the largest foundation in the US until the Pentagon was built.
I suggest you look into the Lake Delores waterpark in Southern California. This place was one of the early, and sucessful for a time, concepts for the modern waterpark. Built in the 1950s, it has quite a story but has been abandoned since fall of 2004.
HEREE WE GO GUYS!! Bright sun films posted!!
Excellent video. One of my favorites!
I always like your videos Jake and they are so good with history. I love History and you do a great video with the history of these abandoned buildings. Would you be doing Buffalo Central Station in Buffalo, New York? It's an abandoned building that used to be a train station.
Great video based in my home city! Louisville (and Kentucky in general) have a lot of great, often overlooked, abandoned places and ruins to explore.
I was JUST watchign the ghost adventures episode on this place. Glad to see it's got a new use!
Another great video Jake. Well done sir.
Thanks for this, Jake! Watching this plus Shane and Ryan's video on it creates a complete picture of the past vs. the present for this historical site.
TIMMY!!!
Great video Jake! I am with you, I am glad to see the structure saved from the wrecking ball. I think the structure is pretty nice looking because it dates from the time when buildings were made aesthetically pleasing.
I grew up 5 minutes from Waverly Hills, which kids snuck in there frequently. I've always been intrigued by it and watched tons of videos about it. This video has info and photos I've never seen! Excellent job!!!❤
First found out about it on Scariest Places on Earth. The Mattingly’s daughter was a teen & camaras filled them around during a night stay. 👻
Another great video, Jake! Suggestion: Ohio State Reformatory, Mansfield, OH. This has been covered by many others, but I would love to see your version. I took a tour of it and they tell the story during one of the tours that the one agency of the state of Ohio sent a wrecking crew to tear it all down, while another agency approved the filming of Shawshank Redemption. The story goes that both crews showed up on the same day, and we know which one stayed and which one left. Aside from that tale, there is so much to the history and architecture of that beautiful building. I have been to the Halloween Haunt, the day tours, and the overnight ghost hunts. It is so grandiose and imposing!
One of the things that happened there was that the warden's wife was killed by the warden's handgun. The official story was that she was cleaning a closet when the gun went off after she unwittingly removed it from a top shelf.
I know this is wildly late but I adore your videos and I always have and it’s crazy that you chose to do a video on a abandoned place in my city. I love your videos and I truly have for 5 years haha. Much love
Great episode as always and what a cool building with an interesting past and present. Thanks Jake
Thanks great video. One of your best
Along the lines of this video, you should do one on the brushy Mountain State penitentiary in Tennessee. This is probably one of the best preserved abandoned buildings I've ever been able to tour.
My dad was there before it shut down. There’s also been several ‘famous’ people that have been there.
Great video as always!
Love you, jake! Have you thought about checking out Richmond va, USA? My favorite building is the central national bank. It sat abandoned for a long time. Now it’s extremely high priced condos. I heard that there were a lot of issues (possibly a s……de) when the depression hit. Would love your take on our beautiful art deco masterpiece.
Great video! I remember watching Scariest Places on Earth as a kid and then hearing about this place again last year from Shane and Ryan on Watcher’s CZcams channel.
I watched SPOE too. They caught footage of a figure in the tunnels and it terrified me! Still does, tbh.
Jake, you should check out “American Flats” in Virginia City Nevada for your next abandoned video. A lot of history old and new to cover. Just a suggestion!
All the "Lou-e-ville's" in this video have me cracking up. I forget that we have a ton of towns and cities in this region where it's just commonplace to completely butcher the pronunciation until an outsider pronounces it the way it's spelled
Another amazing video Jake
