Tuberculosis, also known as "the white plague", had a high mortality rate before streptomycin was introduced as a treatment in 1943. There may have been as many as 64,000 deaths at Waverly Sanatorium in Kentucky. During the TB years, tunnel was also used to transport the dead, so they wouldn't be seen by other patients. The tunnel is supposed to be haunted by those who made their last journey through it.
