Waverly Hills opened in 1926 and it was considered the most advanced tuberculosis sanatorium in America but it is estimated that hundreds died there at height of the epidemic. The cure wasn't know at those days yet and some of the treatments were as bad as the disease itself. E.g. muscles and ribs were removed from a patient's chest to allow the lungs to expand further and let in more oxygen or implanting balloons into the patients lungs to expand them.

Waverly Hills is considered to be the most haunted house in the US and many stories of resident ghosts are being told. Some would swear they had seen little girl running up and down the stairs, little boy with a leather ball, hearse dropping off coffins at the back of the building, woman with a bleeding wrist crying for help while others had experienced ghostly sounds, slamming doors, had objects thrown at them etc.

The scariest part of the building should be room 502 where a nurse hang herself because of the depression over the situation. Later on another nurse jumped out from the roof patio of the same room. As the rumors and legends go, there were many people who have jumped to their deaths from there, have seen shapes moving in the windows and have heard disembodied voices that order trespassers to "get out"...
