Ep 4. Waverly Hills Sanitarium

Waverly Hills Sanitarium is the fourth episode of season 4 of Ghost Adventures. The show follows paranormal investigators Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin as they explore Waverly Hills Sanitarium located in Louisville, Kentucky. The abandoned former tuberculosis hospital has a dark history and is notorious for its paranormal activity.

The team starts their investigation by exploring the vast hallways of the sanitarium. They try to communicate with the spirits by asking questions and recording their responses through devices such as EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recorders. The team senses a strong presence and a feeling of being watched by the spirits.

As they investigate further, they experience unexplained noises, footsteps, doors opening and closing on their own, and a sudden drop in temperature. Nick feels an intense energy shift and becomes emotional, feeling the presence of the spirits more acutely.

The team also explores the infamous "Death Tunnel," a 500-foot underground tunnel used to transport the deceased patients out of the hospital. They experience intense activity in the tunnel, including hearing unexplained voices and sensing a negative presence that affects the team's physical and mental states.

As the night progresses, the team has several encounters that leave them shaken and scared. They hold a seance and use a Ouija board to communicate with the spirits, with Zak and Aaron experiencing strong reactions to the board's movements. They also conduct a sensory deprivation experiment to further connect with the spirits, with Zak reporting a "dreamlike" experience where he sees and communicates with a spirit.

Throughout the investigation, the team uncovers evidence of the sanitarium's dark past, including stories of patients being mistreated and abused. They interview former employees and visitors who recount their own eerie experiences and encounters with the spirits.

The episode concludes with the team presenting their findings and evidence to the Waverly Hills Historical Society. They share recordings of voices, footage of unexplained activity, and their personal experiences.
