The Old City Jail served as the County Jail for Charleston from 1802 until 1939. The realm that now houses the jail was put aside in 1680 for public use and included a hospital, asylum poor house and "workhouse" for runaway slaves. Workhouse is a bit of a misnomer since slaves were essentially labored to death to pay for their crime. The original Waverly Hills Sanatorium, a two-story construction with a capability of simply forty patients, was in-built 1910, however an outbreak of tuberculosis prompted Jefferson County to increase the facility in 1936. An abandoned hospital always feels a bit menacing, however Waverly Hills has a darker historical past than most. Thousands of people died on the sanatorium, as the infectious illness took its toll on Louisville and the encompassing counties in the first half of the twentieth century. Every year around Halloween, a haunted house is hosted at the previous sanatorium, and throughout the year the Waverly Hills Historical Society offers a variety of ghost tours. The so-called "demise chute" is now a key attraction on any ghost tour of Waverly Hills, and paranormal investigators have claimed that the tunnel is haunted. cheap hotels
