I had heard that a man took it over and was running some things differently. Maybe they are not allowed to hold outdoor concerts there anymore.

It's been owned by Charlie and Tina Mattingly since 2001, when they took it over and restored some parts that were decrepit. If you go to http://www.therealwaverlyhills.com it still says on the home page that they are the owners.

Tina Mattingly was seen on SciFi's Ghost Hunters when they came to investigate. She showed them around the building during the walkthrough.

As for concerts, I have never heard of them having any there, but maybe that was before 2001. I really didn't hear of Waverly until I met some people from around Louisville in college, and that wasn't until 2004.

Here's a picture of Tina, you might recognize her from the show.

Ok, I did some digging about the concerts, here's what I found:


Waverly Hills Sanatorium hosted the last show of the touring music festival Sounds of the Underground 2007 on August 11. The show featured prominent acts in the extreme metal and metalcore scene, including Job for a Cowboy, The Acacia Strain, Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, Chimaira, GWAR, Lamb of God and The Number Twelve Looks Like You. Similar Festivals or concerts will likely not happen again at the Waverly Hills Sanatorium, due to complaints made by local residents, as seen in this Courier Journal article:

Courier Journal
Wednesday, August 22, 2007 "PLEASURE RIDGE PARK
Waverly Hills rock concert was its last
Neighbors outraged by noise, vulgarities"

Which went on to say:
There will be no more loud rock concerts at the old Waverly Hills hospital in Pleasure Ridge Park like the one on Aug. 11 that upset nearby residents, metro officials say.

Think that you hit the nail on the head there CE. I guess it wasn't new owners but I was on the right track.

Yep, and on a side note, Jason and Grant from Ghost Hunters will be in Kentucky for an investigation/book signing on August 7th.

Which place will they be investigating?

Which place will they be investigating?

Not sure because they often don't say where they're going because they don't want a bunch of spectators showing up.
