Summary
Some people stumble into the paranormal. Ernie Pack was born into it.
In a family where ghost stories weren’t whispered but welcomed, Ernie’s introduction to the supernatural wasn’t a shadow in the corner or a creak in the night — it was his great-grandfather, standing before him long after the man had passed. That single moment didn’t frighten him… it awakened him.
From that day forward, Ernie’s life unfolded in two worlds: the one everyone sees, and the one only a few acknowledge. His early encounters sparked a fascination that grew into a calling — one that eventually led him to the infamous Waverly Hills Sanatorium, where the veil between the living and the dead feels thinner than anywhere else on earth.
Ernie opens the door to his beginnings: the family that embraced ghosts instead of denying them, the encounters that shaped his beliefs, and the moments that nudged him toward the haunted hallways of Waverly Hills.
This is where his story starts — with a ghost who shared his blood… and a path that’s still pulling him deeper into the shadows. This is Part Two of our conversation.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to part two of our conversation with Ernie Pack. |
| 0:03.2 | I wanted to address the first part of what you were talking about there. |
| 0:06.8 | Waverly Hills opened, they welcomed their first patients October 20th of 1926. |
| 0:12.7 | Oh, wow. |
| 0:13.3 | And like I said earlier, they had social events for the patients at every opportunity. |
| 0:22.8 | What do you think the very first social event held at Waverly Hills was? A Halloween party? It was a two-day Halloween party. Wow. So, |
| 0:30.3 | we always look at our, um, you know, haunted house is just basically carrying on what's coming up on a |
| 0:37.2 | hundred year tradition. |
| 0:39.9 | And yes, the spirits do show themselves during the haunted house. |
| 0:45.8 | We've had actors and actresses walk off the job because, you know, think about the logistics of being a haunted house actor. |
| 1:03.0 | You're in like a little cubby hole usually hiding by yourself in the dark, waiting for people to come through. And very often we've had actors and actresses say, someone whispered in my ear or someone pulled my hair or, you know, |
| 1:12.3 | whatever when they're doing that and they just leave. |
| 1:15.9 | They're like, no, I don't deal with that. |
| 1:18.1 | I'll scare people all day long, but I'm not dealing with that. |
| 1:22.6 | So yeah, they do make themselves known. |
| 1:24.8 | And we, the last few years that we've done the haunted house, we would host |
| 1:30.3 | VIP tours where you pay a little extra and you get a little mini tour of the building |
| 1:36.2 | and then gives you a fast pass to the front of the line for the haunted house. |
| 1:49.0 | And the activity on those mini tours is off the chain. I mean, I guess, you know, spirits feed on energy. |
| 1:54.0 | Sure. |
| 1:55.0 | And when you've got a building full of screaming people, |
| 1:59.0 | there's a lot of energy in that building. |
