On this episode of Southern Shadows, Brooke turns her focus to the towering, time-worn halls of Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. Once a place of hope and healing during the height of the tuberculosis epidemic, Waverly now stands as a solemn reminder of the thousands who passed through its doors—many never to leave. With stories of restless spirits, unexplained sounds, and the infamous "body chute," Brooke unpacks the heavy history and enduring legends of one of the South’s most haunted landmarks. It’s a tale steeped in sorrow, mystery, and the kind of haunting only time can shape.
