Did anyone else feel that cold spot near the back staircase at Waverly Hills?

Never been to Waverly Hills myself but cold spots at old sanatoriums like that are genuinely fascinating from a research angle. The thing I always want to know is whether anyone bothered to check for draughts or ventilation shafts nearby, because a lot of "cold spots" have a perfectly boring explanation once you start looking.

That said, I've been in places in Liverpool where the temperature drop felt completely different to a draught - more like stepping into a pocket of air that just shouldn't be there. Hard to describe unless you've felt it.

Did it feel sudden? Like crossing a threshold? Or more gradual? That distinction matters quite a bit when you're trying to rule out the mundane stuff. Would love to hear from others who were actually there because Waverly Hills is on my list and I want to know what I'm walking into.

@HampshireFalcon yeah the infrastructure check is the first thing most serious investigators skip and it drives me mad. Old buildings like Waverly have knackered HVAC systems, gaps in the masonry, broken windows on upper floors - cold air finds its way down stairwells in ways that'll fool you every single time. I've had the same thing at a couple of old mills up here in Yorkshire, convinced myself something was there until I found a missing panel in the ceiling above us. That said, Waverly is one of those places where once you've ruled all that out you're still left with things that don't add up neatly. The death toll in that building during the TB years was staggering and if residual energy is a real phenomenon then somewhere like that should be absolutely saturated with it. Would genuinely love to get over there one day.

former geography teacher here and even I know cold air drops from above, so checking the ceiling vents before yelling "ghost" seems like step one tbh 😂
