Waverly Hills first became functional in July of 1910 when tuberculosis, or TB, was deadly and patients affected were isolated from the public. Because it is close to my small hometown of Carrollton, KY, Waverly is extremely well-known for its paranormal happenings. Throughout my life, I have always had a relatively strong belief in paranormal phenomenon. The

Newscasters from all over the media recently broadcasted spine tingling news that there is a zombie apocalypse invading the human species. There is not only one zombie, but millions of them all over the world. Every hour the amount of zombies double in population, and the thirst for human flesh is uncontrollably desired. Once bitten by the undead, the unimaginable becomes a reality. The human body rapidly decays, and the zombie’s disease transfers with a bite. The anxiety begins and questions arise

“I found the pilot seat. No pilot though,” John muttered while looking around the area. “He must’ve ejected somewhere, seeing as how there isn’t another city for several kilometers and most of that is hills, I’d say he’s headed back towards town,” Charles, another policeman, remarked. “So that means-” Lewis started. “That’s right, there’s a Nazi in Dencastle,” George finished.

Their peeling-white papery bark becoming ever more present around me. The top of the hill gradually leveled out again, and

(Suddath) When H.H. Holmes was questioned about the gas tanks he was having put in the basement, he started a rumor that he had found a new process for the manufacturing of gas.

Adjaye designed a house for photographer Ed Reeve which is why today it is also called “Ed’s Shed.” However, the “Sunken House” is also a very deserving name. On the lot there was a space already dug out for a basement foundation, however Adjaye had no intentions of including some traditional basement.

I was fourteen and nervous about starting high school, anxiously counting down the days and hours until the first day. I would start swimming that fall for my high school’s swim team; which filled me with both excitement and anxiety over grueling practices and meets.
