Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your Curator Kara is diving deep into the halls of Waverly Hills

The gothic spires of Waverly Hills Sanatorium pierce the Kentucky sky like a warning – some places never truly empty, even long after their residents have gone. Built in 1910 as a tuberculosis hospital, this imposing structure holds the echoes of thousands who suffered and died within its walls. What began as a modest school on a hilltop transformed into one of America's most notorious haunted locations, where pain lingers in the very bricks and mortar.

The stories here are countless and chilling. Room 502, where a nurse allegedly took her own life after becoming pregnant and contracting tuberculosis. The shadow people who peer around corners on the fourth floor. The terrifying entity known as "the creeper" that crawls along walls and ceilings, sending even seasoned ghost hunters fleeing.

Waverly Hills isn't just about ghosts, it's about understanding how places absorb human suffering. With estimates of 6,000-10,000 deaths during its operation, the sheer concentration of pain and loss has seemingly imprinted itself on this gothic monolith. We're already planning our return for a more immersive overnight investigation, and perhaps something special for our listeners too. Stay tuned for what awaits in the shadows of Waverly Hills – where the door to the past never fully closes.
