We snuck in during hs and I wasn't impressed with the 'ghost' aspect. My cousin and I went on a ghost tour 10ish years ago, and he had a tape recorder while we toured, and did catch a couple of wild emp voice irregularities. There was a voice that came over the recording that was way clearer and louder than anything we were saying during the tour. It sounded like a foreign language and then had a weird laugh at the end.
It's one of those things that everyone we played it for said "well it sounds really weird but it must of been......"
We had never done the emp voice thing before so I'm not sure if wild anomalies are common.

My sister did about 8 years ago. Went into a room, asked everyone to get their camera out and they turned out the lights. Asked everyone to take pictures. What she showed me, you could clearly see faces. It was pretty crazy. Not sure how much I believe in ghost or that stuff, but it was very interesting.
Actually toured it as a second grader in 1968, when it was a functioning facility. Scared the daylights out of me. People in various states of mental illness roaming the place like the characters of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Why Medora Elementary thought that was a suitable field trip venue is beyond me.
Yes, during the Halloween season in 2016 or 2017. The place was packed. It was cool to go to but didn't experience any ghost paranoia. The place was definitely creepy. Especially the body chute. Would have been a better experience on a private tour back then I'm sure.
Undocumented ghost.
Never been but those ghost hunter shows love the place. At the end of the day, it's just a crappy looking building with a not-so-positive history. But we need those types of places because where else would local metal and goth bands take their group photos? Some band called Hell's Blood Fury or Sharon Tate's Fetus can't take their band photo in front of an Apple Store. You've either gotta have a decrepit old building or a ****** patch of woods left bare by the November weather for those types of photos.
My friend and I snuck n back n the early 90s before the newest owners got it. We walked thru it, albeit very quickly cuz we kept waiting to get caught, but we didn't see anything scary. We heard things all around us, but idk how much of that was us being freaked out or just sounds of the place. I've had friends into that sorta thing go on tours there and they enjoyed it. If ur lookin for a fright, anywhere can be scary with a story I guess 
♀ I will say, back then, the evidence of transients and gang tags n the place were more scary than any ghosts we thought were there.

Early 90s a friend of mine knew the security guard the owners employed. He and his wife lived in a mobile home on the property. We'd go up there on weekends every now and then and help run ppl off.
Have been all over that building, save the basement and body shoot due to abestous. No ghosts, nothing weird. Just an old, practically condemned building

We used to sneak in there all the time in the early to mid 90s. Probably ran me off a few times.
Wife and I did prob 5 yrs ago. Summer time. Hot as **** in there. Our tour group was very large, talking, laughing, trying to scare each other etc which took a lot away from the experience. No ghosts, lots of graffiti. Lol
The death tunnel and the rooftop were the best parts.

Couple of questions:
Do ghosts go away at some point? If not, wouldn’t there be more and more ghosts and “sightings” as time progresses?
What causes a place to be “haunted”? If waverly is “haunted” because bad things happened there, wouldn’t places in Europe, for example, that millions of people died terrible deaths have that many more ghosts?
Does the original place still have to be there for the ghosts to stick around? If waverly was demolished and a Walmart put there, would ghost hunters still be rolling around hearing/seeing things?

Our house growing up was haunted. We had a few years of wild stuff happening and then it just stopped. It's one of those things that people say it could of been anything but really weird stuff happened in that house for 3 or 4 years and then nothing weird happened after we quit renovating. No way to explain it but renovating that house seemed to piss off the previous owner and then when we were done he seemed to stop.
Rocking chair would rock by itself. Dishes would fall out of the cabinets. Forks and knives would fall out of the drawer which was actually the most weird when you think about how a whole drawer of cutlery falls out while the drawer is still in the track. Doors would lock, it was an old house and each room had a key lock. There were other smaller things that could be explained away but those were really hard to ignore. My friends in elementary school wouldn't spend the night at that house even after stuff quit happening.
