All American Horror: Gateways to Hell Page #5

Roxanne Wentworth: Is anybody

sensing or getting a feeling

about anything?

Linda Sue Zimmerman: The

camera just went out.

My camera just went dead

again. This is the second time

tonight.

I had a fresh battery in it

before and it went out.

Okay, just as I'm looking at

my dead camera the meter had

spiked up to 1.8

and now it's back down to 0.1

so something's happening in

this spot.

Lori Lee Milkovich: That was

not me.

Linda Sue Zimmerman: This, was

this down here before?

Unidentified Female Speaker:

No, it was not. Linda Sue

Zimmerman:
Where was this?

Unidentified Female Speaker:

Probably in the shelf.

Linda Sue Zimmerman: Well

that's an interesting sign.

Unidentified Female Speaker:

Yes, it sure is. Linda Sue

Zimmerman:
We asked for

something to be moved so you

think this is what fell on to

the - can you make the

meter, make a sound again.

Lori Lee Milkovich: There's a

big orb on the ceiling over by

Linda.

Linda, are you getting any

readings over there?

Linda Sue Zimmerman: Just

dropped six degrees and then

went back up again.

Whatever is going on is

happening in this few feet

here.

Lori Lee Milkovich: I myself

didn't really believe in this

kind of thing

before I started experiencing

it for myself but now that

I've actually lived it

for a few years there's no

question in my mind that

things happen around here.

We here banging on pipes in

the basement and people

walking around in a room that

neither my mom nor I were in

at that time.

We go out there and I take

pictures and I can capture

them on digital camera and the

more I see the more I know

that there are other folks

here so I talk to them and I

communicate with them and let

them know that we remember

them and we appreciate

them being here.

Roxanne Wentworth: We're

hoping that the gates don't

just create a way to enter.

We're hoping that they might

also create an exit.

Male Speaker:
It could be said

that the gates that open on to

a cemetery are

a metaphorical door between

the living and the dead.

But at the gates at Roxanne

Wentworth's house, gates that

stood for almost

a century at the local

cemetery, become a literal

portal for the restless

spirits to

move between their world and

ours.

Roxanne and her daughter,

Lori, believe that's exactly

what's happening.

In the meantime the haunting

continues and for now the

gates still stand.

The deserted hulk of what was

once the Waverly Hills

Sanatorium in Louisville,

Kentucky stands like a decayed

fortress, stripped of its

powers to heal the sick.

It's ruins are a magnet for

would be ghost hunters who

hope to catch a glimpse

of the spirits believed to be

lingering there.

Beth Ann Hendrix: I was

hearing a lot of rumors about

Waverly Hills since I was in

tenth grade.

So my girlfriends and I we had

to go check it out.

The place itself looks

something out of a horror

movie.

We decided to go in and walked

up and down the hallways and

looked through some rooms.

Male Speaker:
The building is

a maze of rooms and hallways

spreading over several

acres, ravaged by time and

vandals,

but evidence of its former use

still exists.

The scratch marks on the

basement walls suggests it was

a place of confinement.

Beth Ann Hendrix: On one of

the floors, one of the rooms

there looked like

something like blood stains

and then we heard like someone

was walking up around

the floor upstairs.

We tried to find a way out but

the door went into another

hallway.

We kept walking and looking

for another way out and it

seemed like someone was

following us, we heard

footsteps. We turned around

and there was definitely

no one there.

We looked around and searched

harder and finally found a way

out.

When we got outside I decided

to take a picture just to

prove that we were there

and show all of our friends.

I first saw her through the

lens of my camera, she was

standing on the third

floor, ten years old, a little

girl standing on the third

floor staring

directly at us.

I pointed her out to my

friend, we looked at each

other amazed.

What was a little girl doing

out here?

We knew something was

definitely wrong with this

picture and so we took off.

Male Speaker:
The ghostly girl

in the window has been seen by

many people over

the decades but nobody knows

who she was. Was she the child

of a staff member or of

a TB patient or was she

herself a patient who perished

here.

Male Speaker:
In 1910 Waverly

Hills Hospital, a wooden

two-story building with

40 beds, opened on one of the

highest hills in South

Jefferson County.

It was built to contain the

ravaging disease of

tuberculosis.

At that time Louisville,

Kentucky had the highest

tuberculosis death rate in the

country, probably due to the

fact that the town was built

on low lying swamp land

where the TB bacteria could

breed easily.

Male Speaker:
This is the

second visit here by

paranormal investigators Keith

Age

and his team from Louisville

Ghost Hunting Society.

They go directly to the fifth

floor where on their first

trip they had sensed great

anguish and suffering.

Keith Age:
Room 502 is

probably the most notorious

room in Waverly.

It's supposed to have been

held for satanic rites.

Also what we do k now is one

of the head nurses here did

hang herself in this room

for different reasons and

another one supposedly jumped

off the balcony from the

other side.

Now why they do this we don't

know. Now what we've had

happen to us the first

time we came in here in 2001,

we walked into this room and

we walked into

basically a hot spot. It went

from 86 degrees to 96 degrees

in

about three seconds. We had to

get out because it was getting

hotter and hotter. This was

one of the rooms where we've

had

actually an EMF meter

basically disintegrate in our

hands.

We sent it back to the

manufacturer and he's like

"Whatever you got you just

walked in to so much power, it

just couldn't handle it."

Are you guys ready?

Male Speaker:
Tonight they

will see if they can isolate

and identify the ghostly

activity reported here.

Keith Age:
When we first

walked in my EMF meter, a

brand new meter, the battery

decided just to quit and as

we're in here it decided to

start working again so we're

having a few malfunctions

which usually is conducive to

paranormal activity.

So we're going to see if we

can get any more as we go

around the building.

We're heading down on the

fourth floor.

We've had of interesting

things that had happened.

Male Speaker:
Paranormal

investigators from Louisville

Ghost Hunting Society have

come to the Waverly Hills

Sanatorium to record the

spirit presence of the many

people who suffered and died

here.

Male Speaker:
If you look down

on the screen you can see them

all moving around.

Can you see them?

A whole bunch of them around

right over there. Male

Speaker:
And what do those

represent?

Male Speaker:
It's just that
