This is basically what they consider the holy grail of haunted houses in almost every place in America. Even the sunlight doesn't take away the spooky from Waverly Hills Hospital. If you're *** native Louisville, you've probably heard the ghost stories as *** teenager, you may have even sneaked into the dilapidated building trying to find out first hand if the stories were more than stories like an apparition of *** little girl staring out from the third floor windows, strange lights turning on or flashing in the electricity free building. And the infamous nurses station room 52. The story in 1936 the head nurse hung herself right above where you're standing. And, uh, supposedly in 1941 which we haven't found any records for yet that the next head nurse jumped off the balcony and killed herself. Keith Age is the founder of the Louisville Ghost Hunter Society. And one must have for ghost hunters is the electromagnetic field meter or EMF age and many other paranormal researchers believe that ghosts are pure energy and electromagnetic in origin the meter. Can you, uh, so you just press the button and see if there's Yeah, what would it normally be uh shouldn't be making any noise. He believes the energy that *** ghost gives off causes *** disruption in *** location's magnetic field or if *** location has no electricity and suddenly the meter is reading that *** field is present, then there just might be *** ghostly presence there. Age says he doesn't know if it's the presence of the nurses or just that so much death and despair took place inside this building. Do you think that ghosts take on *** human form? Do you think that this person or this spirit is walking around us, hanging out watching our conversation right now? Is that what you should be? I mean, I mean, I would love to believe that but again, I am the biggest skeptic there is, you know, you know, if I could figure this out, if I could give you *** logical reason why that thing is going off right now and how it quit *** minute ago on you, how historians estimate close to 50,000 people died inside these walls. So it's natural to think some of their spirits still linger. It's hanging around you, whatever it is Mattingly and others report walking through, puddles on the hallway floors and looking down only to see an extra set of footprints as if something invisible is walking beside them. And many flock here for evening tours to get *** glimpse of strange shadows and shapes. The room will just light up in like *** red glow and it will turn like an orange glow or *** blue glow. And then there are, sometimes if the meters are going off, we can tell there's *** lot of activity going on and you can look down the hallway and just see shapes and images. I thought none of the ghost stories were true at all. I thought it was just somebody just making things up. And then as you hang out here, the more you hang out, the more you believe.
