Title: The Mother of all abandonded State Hospitals Waverly Hills Sanatorium
Post by: urbanexplorer on June 08, 2006, 09:44:06 PM
I was checking out ghost hunters website         http://www.scifi.com/ghosthunters/
and episode 214 is about Waverly Hills Sanatorium in kentucky where an estimated 63000 people have died and is said to be haunted. actually it is been dubbed "the scariest place on earth"
the movie death tunnel is based on this place
Well it turns out that they actually have haunted tours of this place for $20.00 per person
has anyone here ever been to this place for the tour? and if so was it worth the hype?

That's awesome.  We should get some folks from IB down there and make it a group freak out.

Post by: CarbonCavi on June 16, 2006, 11:25:10 AM
lol id love to drive, but that would require way longer than that weekend lol. that plus a heavily modded car equals about 4,000$ bothway in gas. nice idea though i do like the thought. we need a ct/ri meetup for sometime this summer and check out some places......hint hint hint, but that death tunnel movie, ill have to check it out, boring or not. and where can i get a IB jacket?!

We have been trying to get shirts made for 3+ years now $ is not an issue just the design, as for the jackets.....................

Our logo is a modified version of the XFL team Las Vegas Outlaws, we go to Vegas every year sometimes twice, after the XFL disbanded Building 19 bought out all the leftover merchandise. They first started selling the jackets for $50.00 and I bought 6 for members of the core team as again we go to Vegas every year, around 2 months later we were putting the website together and the price dropped to 20.00 I traveled New England and bought every one I could find. I ended up with around 40 jackets most of which were given as gifts to all the guys that go to Vegas, the core team from the site and a few people we have met during our years doing this, Joe from ltvsquad.com and mike from dijitalphotography.com for example. So as far as getting a jacket I haven't seen one on ebay in over two years.  more chance of us getting shirts made and passing them out.

I saw that episode.. actually I watched it twice cause it was on back to back and it looks like an awesome place. If it could be managed I would love to go up there too.. I think I'm getting a shirt soon so when everyone else gets one too we can all go and look really cool, haha. If everyone is serious, let me know!

We're renovating every room. We have this week, next week and after July 4th week off, we have one more week. So... about 12-18 more rooms on each floor or something? We've done almost all of them.

I'm not sure about the status of the work in California Pizza Kitchen. It opens soon and it could likely be another company fireproofing/stopping. I only know that our company got the Bingo Hall work and Great Cedar until it's finished.

I work 9-5 on Mondays and 7-4 or 5 Tuesday through Thursday. Then Friday is just 7-12. Today, I did 11 hours.

play the stock market, not the slots. buy penny stocks, at least their trying to make you money not take your money and its just as big of a gamble.
*steps of soapbox*

...um... sorry.

On a side-note, I emailed Foxwoods saying that I was a talent scout and got all of the information of Dorothy for El Presidente.

Haha... funny this comes up... and JINXES me! 17 hours today. Going again in 7 hours. Did fireproofing in California Pizza Kitchen. If you still haven't looked inside, you should see it. It looks small, but they knocked out the back wall and opened it up... it's HUGE!

I'm sure we won't be touching those. But you never know... I thought CPK was already finished and ready to open before I was in there yesterday.

I'm in no position to know. I only hear things sometimes. Sometimes we know what the company is getting or trying to get. Like the Bingo Hall. A small job had to be done in there and we knew a little beforehand.

That being said, I've heard nothing new except that we MIGHT also get a couple places later on. Got no idea other than that vague sentence.
