Waverly Hills isn’t just a building—it’s a presence.

Perched on its lonely hill in Louisville, Kentucky, the old sanatorium looms with an unsettling kind of beauty. The forest wraps around it like a secret, and the air always feels a little heavier the moment you step onto the property. Its long, hollow halls might look empty, but they are crowded with memory—whispers of lives lived, lost, and still lingering.

Among the many legends told about Lake Lanier, perhaps the most commonly known one is the tale of the “Lady of the Lake.” According to lore, in 1958, two women were crossing the bridge over Lake Lanier (or a portion  of it) when their car plunged into the water. Their vehicle remained underwater for decades. When recovered, one body was found missing both hands and some toes, complicating identification.

I’m now confident enough to ask Irma the ghostly piano player to play my request (don’t forget to tip her). If you request one of her favorites she will make the lights flicker!

If you’ve never experienced Alton for yourself, I would highly recommend paying a visit to see the history and hauntings for yourself. This town is alive with paranormal activity and filled to the brim with stories waiting to be told. Come visit and take a tour or investigate a building. Who knows, you may leave with a ghost story of your own.
