I happen to live 3-4 miles from one of the biggest haunted buildings in the country, Waverly Hills Sanatorium. It was a leading edge TB hospital built in the 20s. 63,000 people died there, 2 of them were suicides. There are countless entities there. I have heard sounds, smelt things, and seen things in there as well as being touched several times.

One of the entities that resides there takes the form of an enormous black mass. Lasers will not pass through it. And it is the only entity in Waverly who takes this form. I have seen it several times and been nose to nose with it on more than one occasion. I think it has an interest in me, probably because I run after when I see it. All of the LGHS members remain still and observe except for myself and my friend Ron. We get excited and give chase. Everyone else I have witnessed seeing this thing either freezes or runs away. It has been witnessed watching from the 4th floor balcony me and some people I was with in the parking lot. We saw it watching us after being pointed out. There is usually a drop of at least 5 degrees or more when it is present. I still have no idea what it may be, just working on some theories.

That's awesome Bobby, I've heard about Waverly Hills and if I remember correctly Ghost Hunter's did a show from there?
I can't remember the episode though and if they came in contact with the "black mass"? I would definitely be one of your crew that would either freeze or take off running in the other direction. lol

Twisted, I didn't know you live or lived closed to Waverly Hills also?

Twisted, I see you linked to Troy's site. There is a lot of good info there. And enjoy your trip. Waverly is a blast. If you get the chance you should go back and do an overnight. And since you are that close to Louisville I expect to see you at our convention in September. We put on one of the biggest paranormal conferences in the country. Troy Taylor, John Zaffis, and the guys from Ghostly Talk radio have already signed on to be there.

Yes Melissa TAPS did an episode there. And if I remember right, Steve saw it but they did not get it on camera. Also Keith Age, president of the LGHS, has a documentary about Waverly he did with the Boothe brothers called Spooked. Sci Fi airs it periodically. Also it is available on DVD and worth a purchase.

That is a cool story magicr666. Sounds like an interesting house.

I have a good friend who was a tour guide at Waverly. She went over to guy one night who was straggling behind the group to tell him to catch up. She turned around because someone had said something to her. When she turned back around seconds later the guy had vanished. To this day she can describe his clothes in detail.

Bummer. Would have been cool to meet you in person. If your interested in a convention I know there will be one in Oklahoma later in the year. The president of my group, Keith Age, will be the main speaker.

Well to be honest, Villisca, Iowa doesn't sound all that familiar to me, but after looking it up, I see it's in south western Iowa, Actually I think I've gone past the exit for it when I go over to Omaha. I live right in the middle of the state. So, this is like probably a hour or hour an half drive from me.  Hmm..cool, I'll have to look into it.

I found a site on it earlier and bookmarked it. I'll to look into it. I didn't think we had too much in the way of paranormal here in Iowa.  I've never really heard anything except for a bridge somewhere here in Iowa that if you pull up to it and turn off your headlights, on the side of the road you will see two red glowing eyes looking at you. But, I almost wonder if that one is just a urban legend.

Bobby that would be awesome if you would let me know! I am a willing participate.. I want to look around here in Lubbock and see if I can find some haunts.
