saoneSpooky Waverly Hills may return as hotel - The rooms may be standard, and the location is a bit out-of-the-way, but Charlie Mattingly thinks his planned hotel in southwest Jefferson County will have a unique draw: It's a creepy, old, five-story building with a morgue, a "body chute" and guest rooms where people once lay dying of tuberculosis.
Mattingly and his architect, Kevin Milburn of Urban Designz, are dead serious about turning the old Waverly Hills Sanatorium into a 78-room boutique hotel with a spa, fitness center and meeting space for business groups.
The former hospital off Dixie Highway already is a mecca for ghost hunters, who come by the thousands each year to search for paranormal activity. A film crew from the Travel Channel was there last month, and talk-show host Maury Povich sent a crew this week.
Its haunted history was the focus of a six-hour special on the Sci Fi Channel last fall, and the property regularly turns up on lists of the nation's most haunted places. Web sites dedicated to the property feature photos of people who mysteriously appear in windows, and audio files of unexplained noises.
Awesome.

1] Bats- have you ever thought about investing in some flywire screens?!
2] Cougar- never go out in your yard again. And make sure to direct any Jehovah's Witnesses to your back door *g*

Date: 2008-08-27 12:24 am (UTC)We have screens, so we know they're not coming in through any windows. We've only had five in the house in the past twenty-some years, so it's not a huge problem, just an annoying one.
never go out in your yard again.
*snort* It's okay. There are enough deer around that we don't have to worry about humans being on the menu. Besides, attacks from cougars are pretty rare, even out west.

Some ideas are always percolating--mostly Jensen/Jared type stuff at the moment--but right now most of my creative energy is focused on the various 'professional' things I've got to accomplish if I want to get my web design business up and running by October. I'd like to say yes, but I'm afraid I'm just not that dependable fannish-wise right now. Maybe when things calm down a bit and/or the future looks more stable. *kicks RL*

2] Suddenly the Bob-Tailed Skinks in our yard don't seem so bad *g*
3] I can wait. Don't make me send the Flying Monkeys on Halloween though *g*. btw- I have written some new Cedric/Harry slash, which is awaiting perusal from you at my LJ :hint hint:
