Artist's Comments
FULL VIEW QUALITY IS VERY POOR.
I suggest you not look at it.
Taken with an old 3.3 Olympus very, very bad camera.
(Sorry for the lights/orbs--DUSTYOUIDIOTS--there. People were waving their flashlights around, and this camera had a wicked bright flash.)
I ALSO HAVE OTHER PHOTOS OF WAVERLY. VIEW MY GALLERY TO SEE. c:
The Body Chute.
Waverly Hills Sanatorium, Louisville Kentucky.
$20 admission to fund the restoration of the old TB hospital.
The first building was established in 1920, but it was only able to accommodate for forty people. A newer, larger, building was built not long after...and until the TB epidemic was over (forgive me, I forgot the date), 63,000 people had died.
At one point, the death rate was so high, there was a death an hour.
Because the attendants didn't want their patients to see a continuous strain of hearses, the bodies had to be removed from the building in another way.
The tunnel was originally used to gather coal for heating, but was turned into a 'body chute' so that the dying patients could be disposed of.
They were carried 500ft under the earth, to the end of the tunnel, where hearses awaited to take those that could be identified to the funeral homes.
Others were buried in mass graves.

It was a magnificent honor to have visited Waverly Hills, on November 10th, 2006.
After seeing an episode of Ghost Hunters (www.scifi.com/ghosthunters or www.theatlanticparanormalsociety.com), I was astounded to learn that Kentucky had a top ten worthy building up for visiting.
It's on every ghost hunter's list, and I had to go.
I wasn't expecting to see a ghost, or capture anything, that was out of the question. TAPS (with the television show Ghost Hunters) spent five days in the building, and only caught minimal footage. Don't go in expecting to see something, you'll only fool yourself. Go for the experience, the educational high.
My own personal reasons for going was to walk on the same ground that TAPS had walked.
These people are my idols.
I owe everything to them.
I do, on another note, suggest you go if you get the chance. The building is intimidating, but also very much worth the three hour trip and forty bucks I spent for registration and a souvenir.
Wait. I take that back.
The orb looking thing on the left is a person walking down or up the stairs with a flashlight or something.
But that still doesn't explain the one on the right.

There were kids that broke into Waverly, and when the cops came to get them, they were huddled on the opposite side of the door saying, "They won't let us out." We got to see that door, and there were massive cuts in it where they beat it with wrenches. o-o

That can't be dust can it?
And they can't be light.
Because the Body Chute doesn't have a lick of electricity in it.

Especially in a place like that, I'd just as soon say it was dust.
But yeah, the one on the left is a person. xD
