Paranormal Activity in a Patents Room "Lois Higgs "at Waverly Hills
Lois Higgs. Lois passed away from tuberculosis in 1956. Numerous EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) sessions have supposedly captured messages from her. Investigators and tour patrons regularly leave flowers in memory of the woman. A fresh bouquet of roses was present beneath several photocopied pictures of the woman. I noticed a bit of soreness and discomfort in my right arm and shoulder as the guide spoke.
We walked across the hallway into the next room. This was a small, miserable room with one small, boarded-up window. The guide pointed out that sunlight and fresh air was once thought a prime adversary of TB, thus the solariums all over the building. These dark rooms were where patients were taken when the medical staff had given up hope for them. Even before the guide had told us the nature of the tomb-like rooms, I noticed my heart rate quicken as I entered.

Waverly Hills Sanatorium Reception Area Paranormal Activity
History
The land that is known today as "Waverly Hill" was purchased by Major Thomas H. Hays in 1883 as the Hays' family home. Since the new home was far away from any existing schools, Mr. Hays decided to open a local school for his daughters to attend.[5] He started a one-room schoolhouse on Pages Lane and hired Lizzie Lee Harris as the teacher.[5] Due to Miss Harris' fondness for Walter Scott's Waverley novels, she named the schoolhouse Waverley School.[5] Major Hays liked the peaceful-sounding name, so he named his property Waverley Hill. The Board of Tuberculosis Hospital kept the name when they bought the land and opened the sanatorium.[5] It is not known exactly when the spelling changed to exclude the second "e" and became Waverly Hills. However, the spelling fluctuated between both spellings many times over the years.[6][7][8]
Original sanatorium
In the early 1900s, Jefferson County was severely stricken with an outbreak of tuberculosis. There were many tuberculosis cases in Louisville at the time because of all the wetlands along the Ohio River, which were perfect for the tuberculosis bacteria. To try to contain the disease, a two-story wooden sanatorium was opened which consisted of an administrative/main building and two open air pavilions, each housing 20 patients, for the treatment of "early cases".
In the early part of 1911, the city of Louisville began to make preparations to build a new Louisville City Hospital, and the hospital commissioners decided in their plans that there would be no provision made in the new City Hospital for the admission of pulmonary tuberculosis, and the Board of Tuberculosis Hospital was given $25,000 to erect a hospital for the care of advanced cases of pulmonary tuberculosis.[9]
On August 31, 1912, all tuberculosis patients from the City Hospital were relocated to temporary quarters in tents on the grounds of Waverly Hills pending the completion of a hospital for advanced cases.[9][10] In December 1912 a hospital for advanced cases opened for the treatment of another 40 patients. In 1914 a children's pavilion added another 50 beds[11] making the known "capacity" around 130 patients.[12] The children's pavilion was not only for sick children but also for the children of tuberculosis patients who could not be cared for properly otherwise. This report also mentions that the goal was to add a new building each year to continually grow so there may have even been more beds available than specifically listed.

Using a Ouija board in a Haunted Lynchburg Tennessee Funeral home.
How to Use an Ouija Board
An Ouija board is easy to use, but it not's meant to be a solo activity.
It takes two to Ouija: usually, one person is not able to work the Ouija. Get a friend to use it with you. Having a male and a female in the group is usually recommended.
Timing: most practitioners suggest using the board at night when, they say, less interference is in the atmosphere, but you can use it anytime.
Create some atmosphere: the Ouija is more fun if you darken the room and light some candles. Turn off the TV and any music to minimize distractions.
Have a seat: the two users should sit facing each other, with knees touching if possible, with the board on their laps. Don't use a table.
Decide on a questioner or medium: even though both people can ask questions—or anyone else in the room can—only one of the users should be the medium (the one to formally ask questions of the board).
Place your fingers on the planchette: you and your partner should place the fingers of both hands very lightly on the planchette, or pointer.
Move it: purposely move the planchette around in a circle on the board for a moment or two to get it "warmed up."
Attitude: don't let the board control the session. The medium should begin by announcing that the session will only allow an experience that is positive or toward a higher good and that negative energies are not welcome.
Begin simply: start with a simple question, one that requires a yes or no answer.
Be patient: you might not begin to get answers right away. Give the board a chance to "warm up."
Be polite: when the board starts working, thank the board or entities for showing up and communicating with you.
Don't ask stupid questions: avoid questions such as, "When am I going to die?" If the board answers, "in 6 months," you might worry about it needlessly because you cannot always trust the board to tell you the truth.
Don't ask for physical signs: many experienced users warn against asking for physical signs that the "spirit" is real or present.
Don't believe everything the board tells you: just as with any other source of information, don't accept whatever the board says to be the truth or accurate.
Close the board: this is an important step. When you're done with your session, intentionally slide the planchette to "Goodbye" and remove your hands.
Tips
Have someone write down the answers: sometimes the letters spell out very quickly, and it's difficult to keep track of what's being said. A third person with paper and pen can write down the message as it comes.
Play sober: you'll get better results if you haven't been drinking or smoking.
Maintain control: if the board starts giving rude, vulgar, obscene or otherwise disagreeable responses, break off the session immediately by closing the board.
Don't take it too seriously: most "bad" or negative Ouija experiences occur because the users take it too seriously or get freaked out by it. Don't. Just take it in stride.

Haunted Cave in Rock Hideout of American Killers
The year 1799 was the Harpes’ most unrestrained and bloodthirsty. The brothers headed north toward Cave-in-Rock, Illinois, where the infamous Samuel Mason and his river pirates stayed. An “unprecedented manhunt” met with no success. 23) Around April, one posse tried to persuade Colonel Daniel Trabue to join their search. While they discussed the possibility, the Harpes killed the Colonel’s thirteen-year-old son, Johnny, for flour and beans. His body was “macerated by their blows, almost dismembered by their knives.” On April 22, Kentucky’s Governor Garrard issued a proclamation with a three-hundred-dollar bounty on each Harpe. The report reached the public around mid-May. By then, the pair had killed a man named Dooley in Metcalfe County, Kentucky. 24) They camped out on Barren River across from Frederick Stump, who welcomingly rowed across in his boat with a fiddle and a whole mess of fish. The Harpes stabbed him, disemboweled him, stuffed his body with rocks, and dumped him in the river.

Finding Bigfoot Cast, Q & A : Matt Moneymaker, Cliff Barackman and Ranae Holland
Finding Bigfoot Cast, Q & A : Matt Moneymaker, Cliff Barackman and Ranae Holland
The team consists of Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) founder and President Matt Moneymaker, researchers James "Bobo" Fay and Cliff Barackman, and skeptical scientist Ranae Holland. The series never questions the existence of bigfoot, but rather documents the team's unfruitful search efforts and study of potential evidence in an attempt to prove the existence of the creature.
Over the course of the series, the team has introduced many new bigfoot related terms into the American vernacular. For example, the term "bigfoot" is rarely used in favor of "squatch" (short for sasquatch). Their investigations are referred to as "squatchin'". The areas they investigate are often described as "Squatchy", with Washington having been described as "the squatchiest state."
Cast
Matt Moneymaker:
Moneymaker is the founder and president of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (founded in 1995).[2] Moneymaker was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved to Ohio in the 2000s. He has been researching bigfoot for 30 years.[3]
Cliff Barackman:
Born and raised in Long Beach, California, Barackman currently resides in Portland, Oregon. The evidence analyst of the group has been a dedicated sasquatch field researcher for the past two decades who has been known to spend over 200 days a year in the field. He is also an accomplished jazz guitarist holding a Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University, Long Beach.[4]
James "Bobo" Fay:
The field caller was born and raised in Manhattan Beach, California, and has been interested in bigfoot since the 1980s. The tallest and burliest member of the team, he is the one most often used to stand in for bigfoot in reconstructions. Fay is known for his "Gone Squatchin" hat, and often wears other bigfoot-related attire. He and Barackman are close friends and searched for Bigfoot together before the series started. In 2014, Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia met Fay at Fenway Park before a game and gave him an autographed baseball bat with a Sasquatch logo on the bottom of it.[5]
Ranae Holland:
The skeptical member of the cast is a field biologist born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. While she is not a member of the BFRO, and does not believe in Bigfoot, her interest in the creature was fueled by her father's fascination with the phenomenon. As a child, she and her father spent quality time together "squatching" and watching bigfoot movies.[6]

The organization also paved the way for the local people to report sightings of bigfoot. At times when researches had no-one to depend on, Matt initiated a platform of collaboration for researchers worldwide. In this article, we take a closer look at the wiki bio of Matt Moneymaker.
