Waverly Hills to become haunted hotel

Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky is one of the most famously haunted locations in the
country. 

Celebrity investigators from "Ghost Hunters," "Ghost Adventures" and tons of other shows have spent time within the walls of monstrous building, and have all captured evidence of spirit activity.

The original sanatorium was a two-story, frame building designed to comfortably house 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients. Once the disease hit epidemic proportions, the massive sanatorium thats stand today was built.

The building saw much death - approximately 6,000 - between 1924 and 1961 when it was shut down due to the discovery of an antibiotic that cured TB.

Later, the building was reopened as a geriatric facility, but closed in 1981.

The one aspect of Waverly Hills that has always fascinated me is the "body chute" - a 485-foot tunnel, built on a 45-degree angle, used to dispose of all those who died within the sanatorium.

With such a dark and haunted history, why wouldn't the current owners want to turn the sanatorium into a hotel and convention center.

According to an article on WLKY.com of Kentucky, a zoning application and development plan has been submitted and approved, and the plans are moving forward.

An article on examiner.com recently confirmed that the plans include a 3,050-square-foot restaurant, an 8,500-square-foot conference center, 120 hotel rooms and a museum focusing on the history of the hospital. Waverly Hills has long been a favorite destination for ghost hunters and is open regularly for tours.

With a paranormal reputation already in place, the owners are planning to promote it as a "haunted hotel."

So, would you stay at the Waverly Hills Hotel? 

Personally, I've always wanted to investigate Waverly Hills and now that I can experience the activity and sleep in a cozy room, I think a road trip to Kentucky is definitely in order. 

I wonder if there will be any rooms near that death chute?
