Many of us have seen all the ghost hunting shows on cable television and elsewhere, but are those accurate representations of what goes on during a paranormal investigation?\\xa0 After all, TV shows, have to deliver as many instances of spooky "evidence" as possible, because we, the viewing audience, demand it.\\xa0 In reality, like any hunting or fishing expedition, the experience is usually long stretches of waiting patiently and hopefully for brief moments of high excitement.\\xa0 Well, tonight we\'re going to find out in detail what it\'s like to actually go on a ghost hunt as we welcome back the previous episode\'s guest, author and paranormal investigator James A. Willis.\\xa0 We\'ll also be joined by our good friends Jill and Roger Pingleton, who are seasoned paranormal investigators themselves.\\xa0 On July 22, 2019, during a "lockdown" from 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. we had the privilege of following along with them as they investigated one of the most notoriously haunted buildings in the United States, if not the world, the Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, KY.\\xa0 From 1910 to 1961, this massive and formerly abandoned medical facility saw more than its share of misery and death as it served as a treatment hospital for those suffering from the scourge of tuberculosis as it plagued the Louisville and Jefferson County area.\\xa0 The building then witnessed another era of dwindling and death from 1962 to 1982 when it served as Woodhaven Medical Services, a nursing home for the elderly and those with severe mental disabilities.\\xa0 Fortunately, however, this historic edifice has been undergoing restoration since 2001 when it was taken over by caring and dedicated new owners.\\xa0 It\'s currently open for tours, investigations, and events.\\xa0 Regardless of Waverly Hills\' past, the future looks bright for this special place, a special place that\'s also especially haunted.
