Life I am going to go tour.....

The Waverly Hills Asylum, its one of the most haunted places in the world. They have overnight tours starting in March, which I can reserve my place in Jan. I can't wait, its very scary, the history is 63,000 people died there from TB. So many people died they had to make a Body Chute to move out all the bodies. It says you can take a camcorder and people have picked up ghosts on their videos. One ghost seems to be a nurse who used to work there.

Has anyone on here ever been there? It is in Louisville, KY

Looks like fun. I went and toured the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, AR. Similar haunted story line. I didn't see any ghosts though. Happy hunting.

No way I get scared on purpose....If I want to be scared, I just let the Mrs. drive....

$100 per night to find out there's no such thing as ghosts?

How scary can a place be when you're touring it with a group of people and a tour guide ?

" On the left you'll be viewing the Asylum cafeteria. Where it's rumored that that some of the bodies were disposed of by chopping them and using them to stretch the kitchens budget. Coming up we'll be viewing an actual room with all it's original furnishings as it appeared during the TB epidemic. Aaaaaannnndddd we're moving"

Cool. I would love to do that. Saw them investigate it on Ghost Hunters...pretty creepy.

Excuse me, but there have been ghosts recorded.

Plus it doesn't matter how many people are there at one time, if there are any paranormal happenings in there at say 3am they will not be picky.

Legend
The estimated death toll at Waverly Hills is about 63,000.
Additional Facts
Evidence has suggested that the worst single year total of deaths at Waverly was 152, which would make the overall death count considerably less than the legend. (7,752 being the highest possible total for the 51 years of operation)
This information was found in the autobiography of Assistant Medical Director Dr. J. Frank W. Stewart, who states that the worst time for deaths was at the end of the Second World War when troops were returning from overseas with very advanced tuberculosis cases.[19] This information was then double checked against death certificates for the time frame in question and it was found that 162 people died at Waverly in 1945, which would make the highest possible total 8,212. The 152 quote seems to be a simple typographical error. This and other factual and documented information can be found at an online database where information is being compiled for genealogists.[14]This site is also affiliated with the Waverly Hills memorial site.

That place doesn't sound as scary as underwater hurricanes. Those are scary.

Well 63,000 or 8,000 its still enough, but how can the official site claim 63,000. That would be false advertising. It seems they wouldn't be allowed to do that.
