Kentucky ghost stories range from a hilltop tuberculosis hospital to a Federal-era home in the state capital where a gray lady is said to walk.

Waverly Hills Sanatorium

Former tuberculosis hospital Louisville, KY

Waverly Hills opened as a tuberculosis hospital in 1910, and its massive main building dates to 1926; it closed as a sanatorium in 1961. Visitors on ghost hunts report shadow figures, a boy with a ball and a heavy atmosphere in the so-called "body chute" tunnel.

Liberty Hall Historic Site

Historic house museum Frankfort, KY

Liberty Hall was built in the 1790s for John Brown, one of Kentucky's first U.S. senators. Its legendary "Gray Lady" is said to be a relative of the family who died during a visit in the early 1800s, and staff have reported her in the house for generations.
