We have less than 3 months before October, but hauntings are year-round fun. So, which one would you rather explore?

A. Waverly Hills Sanatorium

Waverly Hills Sanatorium was originally built to accommodate 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients, but it expanded significantly over the years to handle the growing number of cases during the tuberculosis epidemic. At its peak, it housed over 400 patients. The sanatorium employed innovative treatments for the disease, such as fresh air therapy and experimental surgeries, as medical understanding of tuberculosis evolved.

Due to advances in medical treatments and the decline in tuberculosis cases, Waverly Hills Sanatorium closed in 1961. Over the years, the abandoned building gained a reputation for paranormal activity, leading to numerous ghost stories and urban legends. Some of the reported phenomena include apparitions, unexplained noises, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures.

Today, Waverly Hills Sanatorium attracts ghost hunters, paranormal enthusiasts, and tourists interested in its eerie history. Guided tours are available, providing visitors with a chance to explore the haunted corridors and learn about the sanatorium’s past. The facility has also been featured in various television shows and documentaries, further adding to its allure as a paranormal hotspot.

While the claims of paranormal activity at Waverly Hills Sanatorium are widely debated, its haunting reputation continues to captivate those with an interest in the supernatural and the macabre.

B. Ohio State Reformatory (Mansfield)

The Ohio State Reformatory, located in Mansfield, Ohio, is a historic prison that operated from 1886 to 1990. It is known for its impressive Victorian Gothic architecture, which has earned it the nickname “Hollywood of the Prison Film World” due to its appearances in various movies and TV shows, most notably in the film “The Shawshank Redemption.”

The reformatory was designed to follow a reformatory system of rehabilitation rather than a punitive approach to incarceration. It housed both adult and juvenile offenders and offered educational and vocational programs to help inmates reintegrate into society.

Today, the Ohio State Reformatory serves as a popular tourist attraction and a venue for various events and tours. Visitors can explore the facility on guided tours, learning about its history, architecture, and the daily lives of inmates. The prison’s imposing structure and eerie atmosphere have also made it a sought-after location for paranormal enthusiasts, with ghost tours and overnight ghost hunts available.

The Ohio State Reformatory stands as a unique piece of history, offering insights into the correctional practices of the past and providing a captivating experience for those interested in its rich heritage or supernatural encounters.
