Waverlyhills Stories

The true master is the plague.

I took the job at the Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky in 1911, a year after this living Hell was built. Unfortunately, Jefferson County has been RAVAGED with the White Plague, or the Tuberculosis Outbreak. It's been an absolute Hell. I keep this diary so I can note these day to day experiences in this death trap. Oh, but I got this job because my boyfriend, Ivan Braginski, was visiting me here in Louisville, Kentucky when he was struck by this Tuberculosis plague. Sadly, we don't have the cure quite yet...

What if you were haunted by your worst fears? When a paranormal research team spends the night in the notoriously haunted Smoky Mountain Sanatorium, they imagine it will be like any other investigation. However, when the normal things that go bump in the night turn into screams, with investigators running from things they can't see, they realize it will be nothing like other investigations. Determined not to let the ghosts of the sanatorium win, they stick together and stay until morning, not leaving until the sun comes up. What the team fails to realize is that they might be able to leave the sanatorium, but they'll never really be able to get away. Once the ghosts of Smoky Mountain Sanatorium are awakened, so are your worst fears. ***WARNING: Love might be involved in this story at some point, since that seems to be inevitable for me, no matter what I write, so you've been warned. But when you think about it, sometimes falling in love can be the worst fear of all, so maybe it's fitting.*** Copyright © 2015 by Janae Mitchell. All rights reserved.

My mom is a paranormal investigator (not for a living; she's an accountant). She's been to a few paranormal locations, and she always shows me what she finds in each location. Now I'm going to show you what she's found.

I wrote and sent this to my girlfriend while touring Waverly Hills, a former tuberculosis sanitarium that has become a local legend for hauntings around Louisville, Kentucky.
