Welcome to my post...^^
now... 

I tell about Lizzy Borden House...

History of Lizzie House

   Lizzy Borden Andrew is a  the owner of this home. She was Born on July 1860 and died on Juny1927. She is a woman from New England. She trial because she killed her parents with the ax on August 1892, in    Fall River, Massachusetts . Lizzy, subsequent trial, and ensuing trial by media became a cause celebre . Although Lizzie Borden was released , no one else was ever arrested or tried and she has remained a notorious figure in American folklore . Dispute over the identity of the killer or killers continues to this day.
    On August, 1892 Borden Andrew went to Fall river bank and post office.He returned home at about 10:45 am,  Lizzie Borden claimed that she found his body about 30 minutes later.
    During the murder trial, the Bordens twenty-six-year-old maid, Bridget Sullivan , testified that she was lying down in her room on the third floor of the house shortly after 11:00 am when she heard Lizzie call to her, saying someone had killed her father; his body was found slumped on a couch in the downstairs sitting room.  Andrew Borden's face was turned to the right-hand side, apparently at ease, as if he was asleep. 
     Shortly thereafter, while Lizzie was being tended by neighbors and the family doctors, Sullivan discovered the body of Abby Borden in the guest bedroom located upstairs.  Both Andrew and Abby Borden had been killed by crushing blows to their skulls from a hatchet.  Andrew Borden's left eyeball was cleanly split in two.

     the second floor in this home is divided into 2 parts. The front was occupied by the Borden sisters, Lizzie and Emma while the rear was occupied by Andrew and Abby.  Meals were seldom eaten together. Andrew was known by family, friends, and business associates as tight-fisted and generally rejected modern conveniences . Though far from poor, the family still threw their excrement buckets (slops) onto the backyard. The two daughters, both of whom were spinsters , were well past marriage age by 1890s standards, and gladly entered the modern outside world whenever they visited friends.
     Conflict had increased between the two daughters and their father about his decision to divide the valuable properties among relatives before his death Relatives of their stepmother had been given a house, and the two sisters demanded and received a rental property.  They later sold this property to their father for cash. John Morse, brother to the deceased Sarah Borden, had come to visit on the week of the murders. His visit was to facilitate transfer of Swansea farm property, which had been the summer home for the Borden family. Shortly before the murders, a major argument had occurred which resulted in both sisters leaving home on extended "vacations". 
    Furthermore, it was well known that Lizzie and her stepmother had had a falling out years before the murder. Her entire life Lizzie had called Abby Borden by the common matronly moniker “Mother” but according to her sister in the trial documents, about five or six years before the untimely demise of the two parents she had taken to calling her “Mrs.
    The warehouse behind the house didn't see much use after Andrew sold the horse. Lizzie had some pigeons in cages on the second floor that she fed and watered.  She arrived one day to find the pigeons lying on the ground with their heads chopped off. Andrew said he killed them with an axe because the birds were attracting young boys in the neighborhood to the barn, and he felt they might get hurt or start a fire. 
      Lizzie had attempted to purchase prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide) from local druggist Eli Bence, but Bence refused it. Lizzie claimed she planned to use it to clean a seal skin cloak, the defense argued that this incident was not admissible evidence.
    Shortly before the murders, the entire household became violently ill. As Mr. Borden was not a popular man in Fall River, Abby feared they were being intentionally poisoned. The family doctor, however, diagnosed their illness as food poisoning. Andrew Borden had purchased cheap mutton for the family to eat, and they left it on the stove for days, used for multiple meals. The family believed the milk was being tainted by someone; after the murders, the milk was tested but nothing was found that could be connected to their illness. Both murder victims had their stomachs removed in an autopsy performed in the Borden dining room on the day of their deaths. The stomachs, with their contents, were packaged and sent to Harvard Medical School to be examined for toxins,  nothing was found. 
     Over time, liizy have the disease. Borden died of pneumonia on June 1, 1927 in Fall River, Massachusetts. Borden meninggal karena pneumonia pada tanggal 1 Juni 1927 di Fall River, Massachusetts. Borden's funeral details were not made public and few people attended her burial.^] Borden was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery under the name "Lizbeth Andrew Borden", her footstone was inscribed "Lizbeth". Borden had never married, and her will, probated from June 25, 1927 through March 24, 1933, left $30,000 to the Fall River Animal Rescue League.  She also left $500 in perpetual trust for the care of her father's grave. Much of her wealth was transferred to her cousin Grace H. Howe, and her closest friend Helen Leighton.  The final probate in 1933 gave them almost $6,000 each in the middle of the Great Depression .
Nine days later, on June 10, 1927,  her sister Emma died from chronic nephritis in the home she shared with her friend and nurse Annie C. Connor, located in Newmarket, New Hampshire .t. She moved there due to the infirmities of old age, and to get away from the notoriety brought on by a new book about the murders.

Misteryous Lousiville

Welcome to my post.....

This time...

I will to tell you about....

Waverly Hills Sanatorium.....

let's follow the story..... ^^

      During the 1800s and early 1900s, America was ravaged by a deadly disease known by many as the “white death” (Tuberculosis). This terrifying and very contagious plague, for which no cure existed, claimed entire families and sometimes entire towns. In 1900, Louisville had one of the highest tuberculosis death rates in America. Built on swampland, the area was the perfect breeding ground for disease. In 1910, a hospital was constructed on a windswept hill in southern Jefferson County that had been designed to combat the horrific disease.The hospital quickly became overcrowded though and with donations of money and land, a new hospital was started in 1924

      The new structure, known as Waverly Hills, opened two years later in 1926. It was considered the most advanced tuberculosis sanatorium in the country but even then, most of the patients succumbed to the disease.. In those days before medicine was available to treat the disease, it was thought that the best treatment for tuberculosis was fresh air, plenty of nutritious food and lots of rest. Many patients survived their stay at Waverly Hills but it is estimated that hundreds died here at the height of the epidemic.

      In many cases, the treatments for the disease were as bad as the disease itself. Patient's lungs were exposed to ultraviolet light to try and stop the spread of bacteria. Since fresh air was thought to also be a possible cure, patients were often placed in front of huge windows or on the open porches, no matter what the season.

      Other treatments were less pleasant and much bloodier. Balloons would be surgically implanted in the lungs and then filled with air to expand them. and it all ends with patient's death. While the patients who survived both the disease and the treatments left Waverly Hills through the front door, the majority of patients left through what came to be known as the “body chute”. his enclosed tunnel for the dead led from the hospital to the railroad tracks at the bottom of the hill. Using a motorized rail and cable system, the bodies were lowered in secret to the waiting trains. Using a motorized rail and cable system, the bodies were lowered in secret to the waiting trains. Using a motorized rail and cable system, the bodies were lowered in secret to the waiting trains. Using a motorized rail and cable system, the bodies were lowered in secret to the waiting trains.

    By the late 1930s, tuberculosis had begun to decline around the world and by 1943, new medicines had largely eradicated in the United States. In 1961, Waverly Hills was closed down but was re-opened a year later as Woodhaven Geriatrics Sanitarium. There have been many rumors and stories told about patient mistreatment and unusual experiments during the years that the building was used an old age home. Some of them have been proven to be false but others have unfortunately turned out to be true. Electroshock therapy, which was considered to be highly effective in those days, was widely used for a variety of ailments. Budget cuts in the 1960s and 1970s led to both horrible conditions and patient mistreatments and in 1982, the state closed the facility for good.

Is any wonder, after all of the death, pain and agony within these walls, that Waverly Hills is considered to be one of the most haunted places in the country?

The buildings and land that made up Waverly Hills were auctioned off and changed hands many times over the course of the next two decades. By 2001, the once stately building had nearly destroyed by time, the elements and the vandals who came here looking for a thrill. Waverly Hills had become the local “haunted house” and it became a magnet for the homeless, looking for shelter, and teenagers, who broke in looking for ghosts. The hospital soon gained a reputation for being haunted and stories began to circulate of resident ghosts like the little girl who was seen running up and down the third floor solarium, the little boy who was spotted with a leather ball, the hearse that appeared in the back of the building dropping off coffins, the woman with the bleeding wrists who cried for help and others. Visitors told of slamming doors, lights in the windows as if power was still running through the building, strange sounds and eerie footsteps in empty rooms.

It was at this time that the hospital came to the attention of Keith Age, and the Louisville Ghost Hunter’s Society. Keith was a long-time friend of mine and a representative for the American Ghost Society in Louisville. It would be his work with a television show that would bring him to Waverly Hills. Over the course of the next several years, the group had a number of unexplainable encounters in the building.

One of the legends told of Waverly Hills involves a man in a white coat who has been seen walking in the kitchen and the smell of cooking food that sometimes wafts through the room. During their initial visit, they found the kitchen was a disaster, a ruin of broken windows, fallen plaster, broken tables and chairs and puddles of water and debris that resulted from a leaking roof.  The cafeteria had not fared much better. It was also in ruins and the team quickly retreated. Before they could do so though, several of them reported the sounds of footsteps, a door swinging shut and the smell of fresh baked bread in the air. A quick search revealed that no one else was in the building and there was certainly no one cooking anything in the kitchen. They could come up with no logical explanation for what had occurred.

Ghost researchers are always drawn to the fifth floor of the former hospital. The fifth floor consisted of two nurses’ stations, a pantry, a linen room, medicine room and two medium-sized rooms on both sides of the two nurses’ stations. One of these, Room 502, is the subject of many rumors and legends and just about every curiosity-seeker that had broken into Waverly Hills over the years wanted to see it. This is where, according to the stories, people have jumped to their deaths, have seen shapes moving in the windows and have heard disembodied voices that order trespassers to “get out”.

There is a lot of speculation as to what went on in this part of the hospital but what is believed is that mentally insane tuberculosis patients were housed on the fifth floor. This kept them far away from the rest of the patients in the hospital but still in an area where they could benefit from the fresh air and sunshine. This floor is actually centered in the middle of the hospital and the two wards, extending out from the nurses’ station, is glassed in on all sides and opens out onto a patio-type roof. The patients were isolated on either side of the nurses’ stations and they had to go to a half door at each station to get their food and medicine and to use the restroom, which was located adjacent to the station.

Ghosts of Waverly.....

Stories say that in 1928, the head nurse in Room 502 was found dead in Room 502. She had committed suicide by hanging herself from the light fixture. She was 29 years-old at the time of her death and allegedly, unmarried and pregnant. Her depression over the situation led her to take her own life. It’s unknown how long she may have been hanging in this room before her body was discovered.  And this would not be the only tragedy to occur in this room.

In 1932, another nurse who worked in Room 502 was said to have jumped from the roof patio and plunged several stories to her death. No one seems to know why she would have done this but many have speculated that she may have actually have been pushed over the edge. There are no records to indicate this but rumors continue to persist.

The Louisville Ghost Hunters Society was completely overwhelmed by Waverly Hills over the course of the next several years. They introduced the sanatorium to a national television audience, held two ghost conferences there and spent scores of thankless hours taking literally thousands of people through the building on more haunted tours than they could begin to count. They would also, during independent investigations and tours, experience numerous incidents of paranormal activity.

During a less than five year period, members of the Louisville Ghost Hunters Society experienced ghostly sounds, heard slamming doors, saw lights appear in the building when there should have been none, had objects thrown at them, were struck by unseen hands, saw apparitions in doorways and corridors and more. But none of the stories that I had been told could have prepared me for my first visit to Waverly Hills.  

There are many activity of paranormal..... many visitor whose visit there, always feel haunting in there...... 

That's is my post...

How the history of The Whaley Museum???   
       This historic house was opened as museum on may 25,1960. Now, Whaley House is a one of famous atraction in Southern California.

Ghost in Whaley house.....

       In 1960, The Whaley House was designated as an official Haunted House by the United States Commerce Department. The only other official haunted house in California is the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, CA. According to the Travel Channel 's show America's Most Haunted , one of all the haunted houses in the United States, the Whaley House is the number one most haunted .The Whaley House grounds was reportedly haunted even before the house was built and the family moved in. The first ghost to be reported was the ghost of James "Yankee Jim" Robinson who was hanged in 1852. He was hanged on the property that was the site of a gallows before Thomas Whaley purchased the property and built the house. Moreover, four members of the Whaley family died in the house, including Anna Whaley. The ghost of Anna Whaley has been reported by visitors in the garden or in the rooms located downstairs. Furthermore, some visitors claimed that they have seen an apparition of a woman in the courtroom, but the description of her did not fit any of the Whaleys. In the 1960s, psychic, Sybil Leek, felt a presence of a girl. She was described as the great grand-daughter of Thomas Whaley, Marion Reynolds, who ingested ant poison. She is known to grab people's arms. Not only is the Whaley House a home for the family even after they had died, it is also a home for their dog. A spirit of a dog was captured; the apparition of the dog was caught running into the dining room in the house. The Whaley family used to own a terrier named Dolly Varden. The dog died of natural causes and is said to lick the bare legs of women and is mostly seen by children.

     Every last weekend of the month, The Whaley House Museum offers a late night paranormal investigation tour co-hosted by The San Diego Ghost Hunters (sdGH), San Diego's premier paranormal investigation team, who specialize in assisting historical landmark owners in discovering or confirming paranormal activity at their locations. The tour is limited to a small number of guests who are allowed to bring cameras (still and video) and audio recorders. During the tour, guest investigators are educated on the history behind the legendary spirits that are said to haunt the house and are instructed on how to operate and utilize basic paranormal investigation tools for searching out the house's mysterious residents. The tools used by most paranormal investigators consist of camcorders and still cameras, audio recorders, Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Detectors/Meters, Thermometers (Digital or Infrared), a thermal imaging camera, and other various odds and ends that assist the investigators in their search. Tools like these can be seen used by The Atlantic Paranormal Society, or T.A.P.S., on the popular SyFy TV series Ghost Hunters.

Also, Mega64 used this location for a skit about the video game Luigi's Mansion, where Derrick Acosta acted as if he were vacuuming ghosts similar to much of Luigi's Mansion's gameplay.
