Episode 117 - Waverly Hills History- Part 1
Manage episode 340883303 series 3369154
In this episode we discuss the history of tuberculosis and the beginning stages of Waverly Hills.
Did you know that in the mid-1800's, people associated the symptoms of consumption with feminine beauty? It was said that the illness caused pale skin and made them become thin because of their lack of appetite from the disease. It was called consumptive chic.
Once germ theory was accepted, men's facial hair was targeted. Edwin F. Bowers was quoted as saying "There is no way of computing the number of bacteria and noxious germs that may lurk in the Amazonian jungles of a well-whiskered face, but their number must be legion,” He had a way with words.
Check back for next week's episode 118 where we dive deeper into the paranormal aspect of Waverly and the deaths associated with the property in part 2!
