In the 19th century and into the early 20th century, tuberculosis killed as many as one in seven people. The symptoms of the- then incurable- disease were as bad as some of the experimental treatments that were available at the time. A Sanatorium was built to house and treat the ill in Louisville, Ky and it saw it’s fair share of death, thousands to be exact. To this day, paranormal investigators and curious adventurers alike visit the property hoping to capture one of the popular hauntings on camera.
