High on a hill on the south side of Louisville, Kentucky, a massive Tudor Gothic Revival building still stands as a testament to past struggles with a deadly disease. The structure was once part of the sprawling complex of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, established in 1910 for the treatment of tuberculosis. Waverly Hills expanded rapidly, with racially segregated facilities housing up to five hundred patients a day by World War II before new medical developments led to the institution's closure in 1961. Join author Lynn Pohl for an investigation of Waverly Hills Sanatorium's rich history and mixed legacy, explored through photographs, public health records, newspaper accounts and the stories of patients and employees.

"Haunted Journeys: Waverly Hills is a book about horror couple Sarah French and Joe Knetter's visit to one of the most haunted locations in the US, Waverly Hills Sanatorium. The book reads as a conversation between the two and is full of pictures from the ghost hunt."--Publisher's description.

From the mediums of Spiritualism's golden age to the ghost hunters of the modern era, Taylor shines a light on the phantasms and frauds of the past, the first researchers who dared to investigate the unknown, and the stories and events that galvanized the pubic and created the paranormal field that we know today.

"Whatever roams the hallways up on the Hill . . . it isn't alone." Waverly Hills Sanatorium has been converted into apartments. But only half of it is completed because of the bad economy. Ben Clausen, an adjunct professor at the University of Louisville, is moving in because the rent is so cheap. There's a reason why. Waverly Hills is still haunted.

A macabre tale of a mother and her young daughter's experiences at one of America's most infamous medical institutions. A true tale of horror, literally!

"Compelling and thought-provoking." --John Burnham Schwartz, author of Reservation Road When the body fails, you've got two choices. Send the doctor in, or send a prayer up. But when no miracle arrives, how do you pull out a measure of hope? Dr. Wolfgang Pike would love nothing more than to finish the requiem he's composing for his late wife, but the ending seems as hopeless as the patients dying a hundred yards away at the Waverly Hills Tuberculosis sanatorium. If he can't ease his own pain with music, he tries to ease theirs -- but his boss thinks music is a waste, and in 1920s Louisville, the specter of racial tensions looms over everything. When a retired concert pianist arrives, Wolfgang is thrust into an orchestra of the most extraordinary kind that emerges to change everything.

"[T]his book seeks to shed light on one of the most deadly and contagious disease of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Louisvile, as well as other areas in Kentucky, such as the world-famous Mammoth Cave in western Kentucky, once stood as the sole respite for all those afflicted with tuberculosis, or TB."--Back cover.

A darkly brooding horror tale set in a sanitorium in Louisville. Perfect for Stephen King fans.
