Tell Us How Scary Louisville Is
To be fair, Louisville’s about the least scary place on earth to live . . . but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few things that send collective shivers up and down our spines (Rick Pitino’s white suits, memories of the Fleur de Lis Fountain, the floor at Tewligan’s, and more).

Did You Know . . .
Louisville is home to several creepy phenomena?

• The Goatman — According to suburban legend, Louisville’s favorite chimera, the bloodthirsty Goatman, lurks under a railroad trestle on Pope Lick Road near Jeffersontown.
• Eastern Cemetery — Starting in the 1850s the owners of Eastern Cemetery began reselling graves, digging through previously interred bodies to add to existing graves in what is considered to be the largest American cemetery desecration on record.
• The Resurrectionist — Dubbed the Resurrectionist of Louisville, Simon Kracht would dig up fresh bodies from the city’s cemeteries and deliver them to the medical school for use as medical cadavers. Worse, he would toss unwanted body parts into a well at Eighth and Chestnut.
• The Demon Leaper — In the early 1900s Walnut Street Baptist Church’s neighbors began spotting something lurking on the rooftop of the building at 1143 South Third Street. The “creature” was described as a human with bat-like wings.
• Louisville is home to one of the world’s scariest buildings, Waverly Hills Sanatorium, which has been featured on several TV shows.
