During an investigation in Mansfield, Ohio with Darkness Radio and the Ghost Adventures Crew, we were able to get away for a short bit and explore the town. Imagine our excitement, when we came across the merry go round! It was like being a child again.

Now, only if we could have found the ice cream shop…..

Sending you lots of paranormal love,

Check out my fellow bloggers below!

Thank you for the “behind the scene” tours, answering all my questions and for your patience with my camera constantly being in your face. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope to keep in touch. You are all fabulous!

In the near future, I’ll be blogging about this gorgeous building as well as posting some photos. However, until then, please enjoy the videos of some of the personal experiences the volunteers have had at Mansfield Reformatory.

Sending you lots of paranormal love,

I’m at a Darkness Radio/Ghost Adventures Event right now but please come back to my site soon where I will be posting videos and pictures from our event.

If you ever have a chance, I highly recommend attending a paranormal event (here’s where I shamelessly plug Darkness Radio/GAC Events) where you will make great friends, hear wonderful speakers, and investigate a place you had never imagined you would ever get a chance to see.

So to all of my paranormal friends that I have met along the way, hello to you all and have a fun but safe 4th of July.

Sending you much paranormal love,

My mom and I were visiting my grandparents who live only 20 minutes away from this historic site.

Well, make that 45 minutes because I was driving and the two of us have no sense of direction.

I couldn’t believe how massive this place was and the sense of sorrow that I felt.

Thousands of people, many of them entire families, passed through the front doors, hoping for a cure, only to lose loved ones to Tuberculosis a.k.a “TB”, “The White Plague” and “Consumption”.

TB disease is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal.TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The TB bacteria are put into the air when a person with active TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.  Symptoms range from loss of appetite, weakness, chills and fever to pain in the chest and coughing up blood.

Before the introduction of antibiotics, some of the treatments for tuberculosis were a healthy diet, fresh air, seaweed placed under the pillow, salt baths and artificial pneumothorax.

Artificial pneumothorax was a rather painful procedure.  The lung was artificially collapsed and then inflated again.

The belief was this procedure gave the infected lung a rest. And unfortunately, on many occasions, the ribs were removed as well to relieve pressure.  So needless to say, most of the patients were in pain.

A little bit of history for you regarding Waverly Hills per their website, http://www.therealwaverlyhills.com/,

The Waverly Hills Sanatorium began with a two-story frame building, with a hipped roof and half timbering. Construction on this building began in 1908, and it opened on July 26, 1910. This building was only designed to safely accommodate 40-50 tuberculosis patients. Tuberculosis was a very serious disease back before antibiotics were discovered. People who were afflicted with tuberculosis had to be isolated from the general public and placed in an area where they could rest, stay calm, and have plenty of fresh air. Sanatoriums were built on high hills surrounded by peaceful woods to create a serene atmosphere to help the patients recover.

Tuberculosis was reaching epidemic proportions among the public in Pleasure Ridge Park, Kentucky. The little TB clinic was being filled with over 140 people, and it was becoming very obvious that a much larger hospital would have to be built.

The massive collegiate gothic style sanatorium still stands on Waverly Hill today. This sanatorium could accommodate at least 400 patients. It was considered to be one of the most modern and well equipped facilities when it opened. Construction of this sanatorium began in March of 1924. It opened on October 17, 1926 to administer patients. Waverly functioned as a tuberculosis hospital until 1961. After antibiotics were invented, it was closed down to be quarantined and renovated to be opened again in 1962 as WoodHaven Medical Services. The facility remained a geriatrics center until 1980, when it was closed by the state.

A couple of  months ago, I made the trek again to Waverly for an event hosted by Darkness Radio and Ghost Adventures Crew, and I was not disappointed.

Susan and I made some mini videos throughout the two nights of investigations and I will say that we got some great E.V.P.s in the death tunnel that gave me chills.

Hopefully, one day I will figure out how to post my audio findings to my website.  But hey, let’s be honest, I’m just happy that I figured out how to work my camera!

Baby steps my friends, baby steps.

If you ever get a chance to visit Kentucky, I highly recommend that you stop by Waverly Hills.  You will not be disappointed.

Sending you much paranormal love,

In July of 1863, over the course of three days, the largest battle ever fought on American soil, took place at this location. More than 165,000 Union and Confederate soldiers concentrated on Little Round Top, Cemetery Ridge and Culp’s Hill.

This battle resulted in more than 51,000 casualties and supposedly, it took over one week to bury the dead.

My girlfriends and I were very lucky to be given a tour of the battlefields by a local paranormal group. They are from the “International Museum of Spiritual Investigations”. Not only were they knowledgeable of the great battle’s history but they knew about the paranormal activity that still occurs on this land.

I am very grateful for their patience with us and all of our questions, photo taking requests and our Abe doll shenanigans. They were awesome guys!

While in Gettysburg, we would always drive past the reenactment camp. Finally, we decided to stop by and say hello. They were extremely nice and even had a ghost story to share regarding an apparition that they had encountered on the battlefields.

More Gettysburg pictures and videos to come!
