Don't care to speculate, no...

But I remember watching some guy named "Windwalker" on Louisville's public access TV here recently who had gotten permission to go out to that place with a camera. He would point the camera at the windows and talk about how he saw a person standing there, then he would start talking to the person. Of course, he qualified it with: "I don't know if you can see it, but there's an entity waving at me. What? Do you want to say something to the people?" Then he proceeded to talk to "it."

A friend and I were watching, and we just started laughing at the sorry display... towards the end something scary did appear on camera--his wife... she looked like a freakin' troll.

We're glad your treatment went well.

[Rain Man]

I'm a little surprised that it's not rated in the Top Five Scariest Places on Earth.

Wasnt that place also on MTVs show where they would take college kids and make them stay at haunted places. Cant remember the name, but that was a cool show. :thumb:

The 63,000+ dead were all huge fans of Rich Scanlon?

Fear. It was a cool idea, but I lost interest in it after awhile. Everything was staged too much. Plus, nothing ever happened. Just these kids hearing things and freaking out about it.

Exactly.

If Bob Dole wants to see people freak out and act like pussies, Bob Dole will just visit ChiefsPlanet.com.

I'll take a stab at it. Death Tunnel . . . what they call the Chief's tunnel when the defense is coming out of it before the game?

So this really is about a movie. From the title I was expecting some form of reference to our last 4 or so years under DV.

[mcan]

I would expect any movie with "a handfull of college girls" in the synopsis to give me some boobies. Probably won't be all that scary.

From what I remember, it was a TB Hospital, not a traditional mental institution that the word "sanatorium" conjurs. Louisville had one of the worst TB rates in the country around 1900. Thousands of patients died there, many from horrible experiments to rid the disease

I remember seeing pics of people sitting in front of open windows covered in snow as the fresh air was supposed to cure them. They also talked about ballons being stuck in peoples lungs and being filled up to increase lung capacity. Ribs were removed to make more room for the lungs and even surgery to sometime deflate the lung temporarily hoping it would kick start the healing when reinflated.

The body chute rocked, but was removed before I got to see it. The chute was completely covered so patients wouldn't see how many people died every day, but it transported bodies from the hospital to the train tracks below.

I remember some guy bought it and wanted to demolish everything and build the largest statue of Jesus in the world. He was stopped by the courts as the hospital was a historic site. That is about the time my friends and I started hanging out at the site. He practically invited kids up to the place to tear it apart. He was hoping if it was a big enough eyesore, the city would eventually change it's mind and let him demolish.


There were many nights started at the Vogue Theater for a dollar show, then over to the train bridges for a few beers before heading to Waverly and try and scare the crap out of the girls.


I have no idea on the connection, but I do know the movie won't do the site justice.

People:

All those movies out there that say they are "based on a true story" are frabricated so much for the movie, you would be dissapointed in the actual story. Sad but true.
