This experience took place in the old Tuberculosis Hospital of Louisville, Kentucky. Before going into the building I was very convinced that there was no such thing as a ghost, demon, or spiritual entity. I was the biggest sceptic in the whole group that entered the place that night.
We were on a ‘ghost tour’ given by the Waverly Hills Historical Society. Towards the end of the tour, when we were on the fourth floor of the building we looked towards the end of the hall. The halls in this place are very long, probably 3/4 the length long of a football field. At the end of the hall, there appeared to be something, not sure what, moving about.
The guide told everyone to cut the flashlights. He then used a laser pointer and scanned the end of the hall. When he did this the laser point hit the back of the far wall but, when he moved the light to a particular point in the hall, it hit what appeared to be some form of fog or mist (not really sure what it was).
The red light from the laser diffracted downwards and shone on part of the floor. It somehow illuminated the ‘thing" and made it look red. However, the most disturbing part of this is the fact that the "thing’ as it was moved towards our tour group that consisted of seven, maybe ten people.
This was a very disturbing scene to many of the people in the group. Some of the girls started crying. Then, one of the guys in the group turned on his flashlight and shone it at the ‘thing’. There was nothing there. At that very instance, the whole area where we were standing became chillingly cold. The guide had a digital thermometer on him. The temperature in the building had been 63 degrees F when we entered. It was now 31 degrees F. The temperature change didn’t last long though. It was gone within about 30 seconds. The temperature then went back to 63 degrees F again.
This was a life-changing event for me. In fact, it has changed the whole way I look at life. I do sometimes question what I saw in that old hospital that night. The scientist in me is constantly looking to find a physical explanation for what happened, but I have yet to come up with anything that makes sense.
