Waverly Hills Sanatorium 🦇

We went on the ‘Public Investigation’ 6 hour tour at Waverly Hills Sanatorium. It’s semi guided meaning in the beginning they give you a brief tour of the building sharing some of the history & stories about Waverly Hills. Then you get to walk and roam around at your leisure. It was pretty spooky I’m not gonna lie, the energy in that building is palpable. We’ve done OSR up in Mansfield, OH several times and this singular visit was more bone chilling than all of those visits combined. Highly recommend. However plan your trip far in advance as tickets sell out quick. The Waverly Hills Sanatorium #ThingsToDo #lemon8challenge #waverlyhills #kentucky
