Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky, is a historic former hospital that opened in 1910 to treat patients suffering from tuberculosis. The facility is known for its distinctive Gothic Revival architecture and its reputation as one of the most haunted places in the United States. During the height of the tuberculosis epidemic, the sanatorium housed thousands of patients and employed innovative treatments for the disease. After the development of effective antibiotics, the need for such hospitals diminished, and Waverly Hills closed its doors in 1961.
