All American Horror: Gateways to Hell Page #6

manifestation of the energy,

the way they

manifest their energy.

I can see quite a few moving

down right now.

So we've got some activity

right there.

Keith Age:
This is the place

where every kid in Louisville,

Kentucky comes to be

scared or to take a girlfriend

or whatever and everybody

claims to have broken in the

way really.

The first year we were up here

we heard just blood curling

screams and pounding

coming from this floor.

The guards and the owners

[inaudible] and there were

these three teenage boys

right here just standing here.

We got here and we know one of

them had

an ax.

What was really cool was

they're going - we couldn't

get out, they wouldn't leave

us alone, no matter where we

turned they wouldn't leave us.

Now at that point after we

looked at the door, this solid

steel door, and if you

look right here they were

pounding on this door with

this ax.

The only problem was there's

no lock holding this door.

If the door were swung then

they wouldn't give you these

clean cuts.

If they had been leaning up

against the wall it have

bounced and you still

wouldn't have a clean cut.

So whatever it was that these

boys were scared of it was

enough to where this door

would not budge, it wouldn't

let them out,

and they couldn't get out and

they were terrified,

petrified, they could not

leave.

There was a big black cat

moving all around.

Male Speaker:
Mentally

unstable TB patients were

housed on the fifth floor of

the Waverly Hills Hospital.

Nurses here worked grueling

18-hour shifts

with the sickest, most pitiest

patients. It was the wrong

place for two thrill

seeking adventurers to hang

around.

Randy Holmes:
Me and a friend

of mine were just going in,

wanting to hang out,

and see if we could get any

action around this whole

place.

And we ended up going up to

the fifth floor and we were

just basically hanging

out and chatting and talking

and nothing out of the

ordinary.

Then we started hearing all

these weird sounds and the

building started to get

a little bit cooler and the

coldness just kind of kept

slipping in and the wind was

blowing through the walls and

we were both getting kind of

jumpy so we decided it was

time to leave.

Suddenly we heard this loud

sound, it was like a sound of

a chair being slammed to

the ground. It was so loud it

seemed like it was in

the same room with us. We were

the only two in there and we

just

sat and we listened but we

didn't hear anything else.

And then suddenly the next

thing we heard, it was

definitely directed towards

us, it wasn't just some

arbitrary sound, this was a

sound of like a voice that was

restricted, just gasping out

"Get out, get out"

and after we heard that we

didn't want to hear anything

else.

So I started running and I got

out the door first but my

friend the door slammed

shut on his ankle and he got

caught and he couldn't get

away.

And I was just so scared I

just kept running and I had to

leave him behind

and he eventually got through

and he was just hobbling,

trying to catch up with me.

We were just scared to death.

Male Speaker:
Two events

dating back to the sanatorium

days make room 502

a particular hotspot for ghost

activity.

Both are bitter remnants of

the building's tragic past.

In 1928 the head nurse was

found in room 502 hanging from

a light fixture, a chair

kicked to the floor as she

took her last breath.

Then in 1932 another nurse who

worked there jumped tragically

to her death from

the balcony that leads from

room 502.

Two women dead by their own

hand, both dedicated to

healing the sick and insane

in room 502.

Perhaps it was too much misery

to witness yet it seems they

are forever doomed to

stalk the place where they

worked and died.

Keith Age:
This is also the

area where we give tours.

This is where we stop and

people do actually can see

these things in the hallway.

This is where I actually got

hit with a piece of cement

during one of these tours.

I was showing the young lady,

she couldn't actually see the

stuff so I'm

trying to help her and what

you do is you basically drop

your eyes and let your eyes

just go out of focus and see

everything at once. And as

we're standing here talking

this

hunk of cement came flying

through and it basically

smacked me in the head and I

got

six stitches out of it.

Male Speaker:
So while you

guys were standing there

talking there were a bunch

of them swirling right behind

where Keith was standing.

So what we do is just

generally following this

around, they could stay ahead

of us

down this hallway and then

when you guys started walking

back and we started

following back down this way.

Female Speaker:
We had a small

figure, almost a childlike

figure, standing in the

doorway.

Male Speaker:
The temperature

dropped down, it was dropping

drastically,

until we turned on all the

lights and just as we turned

on all the lights the

temperature

shot back up and we had

temperature.

Keith Age:
What we saw when we

were talking about the small

image was actually

against this door and when we

catch the shadow a lot of

times they're catching

through this [inaudible] room

here.

My phone just turned off, I'll

turn it off a third time,

that's things that

happen up here.

Things that happen with phones

up here, if they go off in

here you answer them,

a lot of times they will melt,

they will just burn up.

My phone's been turned off

since we entered the building

and as you all heard

it just went off a minute ago.

I turned it off again in the

hallway

and it just rang again. So now

it's off for the third time so

that's just part of this

building. And it just got cold

in here.

Beth Ann Hendrix: We dared

each other to go in there and

the first person to get

scared and leave loses.

We went up through the woods

and we walked through the main

entrance and up

and down the hallways.

Male Speaker:
A few months

after their first visit Beth

Ann Hendrix and her

friends came back to Waverly

Hills to test their courage

once more.

The trip started out as a bit

of a lark but as they made

their way through the

vast labyrinth of gaping

hallways things got more and

more weird.

The girls sensed they were

being followed by an unseen

presence.

Beth Ann Hendrix: Then we

heard this clicking sound and

the sound of metal

scraping against the floor,

the wall, I'm not sure which

one.

And then we saw her.

When I saw her she was dressed

in white and scrambling around

on the floor.

Her wrists were bleeding.

At that point I knew it

couldn't be real.

Keith Age:
We're down to 42

degrees right now right here,

right here in front of me.

Female Speaker:
It's freezing.

Keith Age:
This is the room

where we first got the most

violent activity that

we ever caught.

As we were giving a tour here

one night, there was about 20

people in here, my back

was to the wall and I was
