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.

In rural places, spirituality tends to travel quietly. Word of mouth moves faster than any marketing budget, and a single open sign can feel like an invitation to step into a different kind of space. Metaphysical shops in small towns often become that kind of refuge: not just a place for purchasing stones or incense, but for finding other people who sense the world a little differently.

Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday that has grown to include the United States in recent years. The animated movies The Book of Life and Coco have showcased its beauty. It didn’t take long for major retail stores to put out merchandise designed for the holiday to be seen along with Halloween decor. It is not Mexican Halloween- it is a celebration of our passed loved ones which includes special days for our pets, small children, and all of our loved ones lost.
