That's it. I have never been there but have had several people tell me it was well worth the drive from nky to Maysville to check it out.

There's also haunted tunnels up here in nky out off Locust Pike. They were built during the W.P.A back in the 20's and apparently a lot of the men were killed while building them since there wasn't much technology and everything was done by hand. They are twin tunnels. The one on the left you can see all the way through...I've actually walked all the way through it and didn't seem haunted to me. The one on the right however, is quite spooky. It's so long and curvy, one you get in it to a certain point, you can't see behind you or in front of you because it's so dark. When you get in it, there are man holes for where the workers would stand while building it if a train came along. The thing that gets everyone is, nobody has ever been all the way through it. Once you get in to a certain point a train ALWAYS comes and you have to run out of it. The legend is, IF, you make it all the way to the end, you don't return because there's someone/something waiting at the other end of the tunnel for you.

Since I don't know anyone who's ever been all the way through it, the legend continues. There was also a body of a woman that was found near the tunnel probably 10 years ago that had been brutally beaten. Many think she haunts the tunnel as well.

I would like to try that tunnel. I've been through the train tunnel between Feds Creek and Biggs Creek area in Pike County on a motorcycle. I tried it on foot years later but got to the middle and couldn't see in front or behind me. I pushed on in those conditions but ended up having to take very small, slow steps, feel with my hands at some point in order to stay in the middle of the track and go back the way I came.

I have heard that Waverly was bought by someone else and they do not do the tours and things anymore but I can't confirm that.
