1. Did a rotation in a burn unit. There are tons of tales that go round, however I’ll share my favourite. A pimp lit one among his prostitutes on fireplace, and he or she instantly bear hugged him inflicting them to each endure fairly extreme accidents (sadly hers included an inhalation burn). They each had been being handled in the identical ICU however on reverse ends.
Weeks later she finally ends up coding and passes away, and after about 30 minutes as issues begin to calm down, the man begins screaming from his room, “Get her out! Get the god rattling bitch out of my room!”
2. I’ve labored in a small household run nursing residence for six years as a nurse aide. It was an orphanage earlier than it grew to become a nursing residence, and sadly earlier than being shut down the orphanage had a historical past of extreme abuse and neglect. It’s not gossip, the proprietor herself has informed us. When residents get near dying they at all times see a bit of woman. Considered one of my sufferers was a really alert gentleman, he knew all our names and was very alert and oriented. I used to be passing dinner trays and noticed that he had his again turned and was speaking and laughing within the nook. I knocked and requested him who he was speaking to and he chucked and mentioned, “This little woman got here into my room, she was scared.” He died Three days later. About 6 months later had one other affected person screaming about a bit of woman grabbing his ft and he or she wanted to depart him alone. He died that night time. She’s come up over time it’s at all times the identical factor they see her after which they die. Different coworkers have had the identical expertise. It’s very unsettling.
3. A ward I labored on as soon as had a affected person who was a psychic/medium as a affected person. We had a little bit of amusing along with her as she was on the ward for some time (she’d had a stroke which affected her mobility) and he or she would do ‘readings’ for the employees every so often. I took all of it as only a little bit of enjoyable till one night when she pressed her nurse name buzzer and informed us to go verify on a affected person in a aspect room as he was useless. We went to verify and positive sufficient discovered that the gentleman had died. In a while we requested our psychic affected person how she had identified and he or she informed us she had seen him popping out of his room clearly distressed. She realized he had died and needed to clarify to him what had occurred and assist him to cross over/go to the sunshine… now I’m not a believer however that gave me the creeps.
4. I’m a psychiatric nurse; early in my profession, I labored at a residential psychological well being facility. There was a resident I’ll name Marion Duchene. He was an elective mute, which merely implies that he didn’t/wouldn’t/couldn’t discuss however there have been no pathological findings as to why. He had spoken earlier in his life and actually appeared fairly regular again then, with the notable exception of being near seven ft tall. He’d been raised within the Deep South and joined the navy when he was nineteen. After boot camp, he was stationed someplace within the south. One night time, he simply vanished. It was declared an AWOL for years, and at last he was declared lacking and useless.
Ten years later, a seven-foot tall man walked right into a VA Hospital emergency room in my a part of the midwest and mentioned to the receptionist: “My identify is Marion Duchene and I’ve been useless for ten years.”
These had been the final phrases he ever spoke.
He was lined with mud and he was carrying the identical garments he’d been reported to be carrying the night time he vanished. His social safety quantity had not been used and he had no identification on his particular person. Nevertheless, they had been in a position to establish him, I suppose by way of fingerprints. He was well-fed and in good well being, aside from his refusal to talk. The household was notified however they mentioned that they had already grieved their misplaced man and that whomever was claiming to be him merely couldn’t be. They mentioned he was a “haint” and a stand-in for his or her useless relative and demanded to not be contacted once more.
Marion paced all day on daily basis. Not in a frantic method, however simply lumbering up and down the halls and out of doors. He smiled on a regular basis and could be shifting his mouth in a method that indicated speaking or muttering, however he was useless silent. He had an unnerving behavior of throwing his head again together with his mouth extensive open as if he had been laughing heartily however not even a breath may very well be heard. If informed to go to the eating room for a meal, he’d go and eat. But when no person informed him, he simply stored pacing, by no means indicating starvation. If provided a cigarette, he’d smoke it in an oddly formal method, virtually delicately, if that is sensible. However he by no means appeared to crave smoking. The person needed nothing. If I talked to him, he appeared to pay attention, periodically throwing his head again in that laughter-mimicking method of his.
There was nothing to do for this man. Numerous medicines had been tried, however they didn’t have an effect on him both positively or negatively. Occupational remedy did nothing as a result of Marion would simply grin and except informed to remain put, he’d rise up and begin pacing once more.
On my final day at that job, on my technique to one thing higher, the very last thing I noticed was Marion, pacing within the car parking zone, throwing his head again to “snort.” Later I puzzled if all alongside I’d been coping with a ghost. All these years later, I nonetheless don’t know.
5. Oh I’ve so many I don’t know the place to start out. I labored in Geriatrics (nursing houses) for years, so most of our sufferers died inside a number of years of being with us. In any case I had a brand new affected person transfer into one of many rooms on my corridor that my earlier affected person had simply handed in. My new affected person stored calling at night time saying that there was this lady who stored coming into her room and attempting to speak to her. At first I simply handed it off on her being in her 90’s and scuffling with dementia, so I assured her that I’d lock her door at night time to verify nobody may are available in. After a couple of week of this persevering with to occur, I sat down along with her and was asking what this girls appeared like (considering she may be hallucinating her daughter or sister or one thing ) and he or she proceed to inform me that this lady had a pink gown on with blue fuzzy slippers and her hair up in curlers, and the girl would are available in sit on the foot of her mattress, pat the brand new affected person’s ft and attempt to discuss to her however she couldn’t perceive what she was saying. I virtually pissed myself. The affected person that I had had in that room previous to my new one, went to mattress, EVERY NIGHT, in her pink home gown, blue slippers and her hair in curlers. It stopped after about two weeks.
6. I labored as a Medtech at an assisted dwelling facility. Sooner or later a resident (I’ll name her Margaret) immediately handed away and her household left all her belongings within the room that night time together with her pendant to name the employees for assist. The following night time Margaret’s neighbor known as the employees as a result of somebody was speaking within the room subsequent door and protecting them awake. We brushed the resident off realizing that Margaret’s room was empty. About an hour later Margaret’s pendant began going off from her empty residence. I used to be the one one keen to go flip it off so I walked into the room and it was FREEZING COLD in the midst of summer season (the air con was off.) Abruptly the toilet door slammed as I used to be turning off the pendant mild. I locked the door and ran again to the nurse’s station. We pressured one of many older male employees members to go try the whole room and he claims the door was nonetheless locked when he obtained down there and nobody was in there.
7. I’m a nurse in a hospital and my affected person was a well-known card reader on the town (not too exceptional in Louisiana). I had truly gone to her about 10 years prior and he or she was eerily correct. Whereas caring for her for a number of days I stroll into her room and he or she is unresponsive. She had been very torpid all day however now she was out. Her daughter is on the bedside and is attempting to wake her up. I sternal rub her and inflict ache with no response and a really thready pulse. I name a speedy response. This lady then wakes up randomly and was filled with power inside a 30 second span. She informed me she was useless and watching me within the room the entire time. Knew precisely what occurred. She mentioned God informed her it wasn’t her time and despatched her again. She went residence a pair days later and he or she continues to be doing card readings. She’s in her late 80s now.
8. Okay, I’m a nurse however this didn’t occur to me, however a number of different nurses who labored at these models. There’s a little woman who haunts the burn unit of a giant Army Medical therapy facility within the US. She has been seen by each employees and sufferers. Haunts is probably not the proper time period, however she has been witnessed by a number of.
I used to work on the outdated Walter Reed Military Medical Heart. Within the outdated one which moved again in 2011, there was a VIP ward, I imagine it was ward 72. Any retired Basic Officers could be keep there, together with any Greater ups within the Govt, assume Secretary of State and different Cupboard Officers. There was additionally a room for the First Woman and President. This ward is non-public, locked in any respect entrances and really good. It’s furnished with very excessive finish furnishings and a number of it was donated by Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower, the spouse of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Effectively, per my pal who labored there, the ghost of Mamie Eisenhower may be very specific about anyone staying in her room, and if anybody did sleep in that room, she would yank off the bedsheets. My pals additionally mentioned ornamental items would randomly fall off desk of fly off the partitions after they had been the one ones up there. Mamie would additionally apparently web page the supervisor, who would name the ward again to a really confused nurse as to who paged them.
9. Labored in a nursing residence/long run facility for a number of years. Personally hadn’t skilled something too loopy other than thriller name lights (name bell system going off, no buttons lit up, no rooms lit up, system must be reset from {the electrical} room to clear it), listening to doorways shut shut, bathrooms flushing, taps working. These had been on no account commonplace.
Different employees had some extra direct experiences although, apparently in a single corridor a bit of woman would often be seen strolling. This had been reported by a number of employees in addition to sufferers
A employees member was sitting out in her automotive throughout night time shift when some lady who knocked on her window rapidly disappeared. The following day she was discussing this out loud with the oncoming shift when somebody pulled out an image from outdated information based mostly on the outline offered. Apparently, it was a match to a former affected person that had handed away at the least 10 years earlier than that employees member was employed.
10. I labored in a pediatric hospital and had at all times heard that the fourth ground proper outdoors our oncology unit was haunted. I labored three twelves usually however would choose up additional time and picked up an evening shift. I used to be working within the NICU which occurred to even be on the fourth ground however on the other aspect. The oncology unit had a staircase that was a brief reduce all the way down to the cafeteria which was on the second ground. At about 3am I used to be able to take a brief break and needed a cup of espresso from the cafeteria so I made a decision to take that staircase. I walked via the automated double doorways and noticed a child skipping down the corridor. I known as out to him as I used to be afraid a bit of child had snuck out of a affected person room. As quickly as I known as out to him he turned and within the blink of an eye fixed completely vanished. Plenty of different nurses and docs had seen the identical little child skipping in that very same hallway. After all I chalked it as much as simply exhaustion and didn’t actually give it some thought a lot after that. However you might be rattling positive I didn’t use that hallway at night time ever once more.
11. I used to be working at night time and one of many sufferers died whereas I used to be within the room, we tried all the things to revive this particular person nevertheless it didn’t work so after doing the papers and all the things I went to a different place within the hospital and I swear to god that this affected person who I noticed useless, touched my proper arm. I feel that I’ve by no means cried that a lot in my life.
12. I used to work in a nursing residence as each a CNA and an LPN, and whereas nothing too loopy occurred there have been positively issues that occurred out of the unusual.
I keep in mind one time after somebody had died I used to be cleansing up her physique and the door to the room swung extensive open although it had been firmly latched and no person was there. It gave me the creeps.
There have been cases of furnishings being moved, lights turning on and off by themselves, and bathrooms randomly flushing by themselves as properly. I additionally keep in mind I had one resident one night time who requested me to verify I closed the door to the closet that was on the finish of her mattress–and he or she informed me that when it was open “that lady” stored going out and in of all of it night time and it stored her awake.
13. One of many rooms we’ve is clearly having one thing of a haunting. A person in a robe gestured one of many techs to return in, she went in and he was gone. One week earlier a feminine affected person was asking to get a distinct room, as a result of a person wouldn’t go away her room. We simply thought it was some type of delirium. A number of others have seen him, too.
14. Again after I was a paramedic in Oakland I used to be caring for an aged gentleman behind my ambulance he appeared up into the higher nook of the ambulance and mentioned, “It’s okay Lulu, I’ll be with you quickly.” His daughter was with him and informed me that Lulu was his spouse who died 20 years earlier. A couple of minutes later he went into cardiac arrest and handed on.
15. I’m a psychiatrist and through my coaching years I labored for six months at a ward treating sufferers with depressive and anxiousness issues. It was an outdated constructing which had been housing psychiatric sufferers because the mid 1920s. On our ground we had 13 beds and a nursing station, a lounge, and some convention rooms. Sooner or later a number of weeks in I’m interviewing a affected person who tells me she has heard a child crying at night time, waking her up. There are not any infants in that hospital because the place is located distant from housing areas and there have been restricted visiting hours. Afterwards the nurse pulls me apart and tells me that the infant crying factor isn’t a psychotic symptom. She may be very critical about this, however gained’t elaborate. I form of shrug it off, as both method it doesn’t change the diagnostic or therapy, and overlook concerning the expertise.
Round Three months in my keep I sit within the nurses station and three nurses behind me are speaking. Considered one of them says, “She may be very lively right now” and the opposite says, “Actually? Oh, hadn’t seen.” I flip round and ask them who they’re speaking about. They have a look at one another, after which one among them hesitantly says, “Effectively. There’s a child right here. She cries generally.” I in fact says no, however they only form of shrug and smile. Not 30 seconds later I hear it – it sounded distant however to not far. A cry, clearly a child’s cry, sounding like it’s separated from us by perhaps 2 or Three partitions. I’m perplexed and have a look at the nurses. They have a look at me like “informed you so.”
Since then I heard it perhaps 2-Three instances every week. I informed a brand new physician about it who laughed, nevertheless a number of weeks into her keep, she got here to me, white as a sheet, and informed me she heard it of their espresso break. All of the nurses simply form of knew about it, and being in psychiatry, listening to that form of stuff isn’t actually one thing you brag about. I used to be transferred and haven’t heard it since. I give it some thought generally, however I don’t actually know what to make of it.
16. My mother used to work as an evening nurse within the burn unit at a hospital in Dallas, TX. She informed me that folks would at all times discuss how the burn unit was apparently haunted. She wasn’t actually positive whether or not or to not imagine this till a bit of woman got here into the unit with horrific burns. The little woman didn’t at all times have mother and father keep the night time along with her, so my mother would attempt to inspect her fairly typically when she labored. One night time, my mother requested the woman if she ever obtained scared at night time. The little woman responded, “No. I don’t get scared as a result of an outdated lady involves learn to me each single night time and sits beside my mattress whereas I go to sleep.” This shocked my mother as a result of there have been no older girls working within the burn unit at night time and he or she would often be the one particular person on obligation throughout these instances. It isn’t that scary, however she at all times remembers it being one of many craziest issues that has ever occurred as a healthcare employee.
17. Pupil nurse right here, I as soon as had a affected person say, “Do you ever really feel the coolness everytime you’re on the pc? Don’t fear it’s only a nurse who labored right here an extended very long time in the past, she doesn’t perceive your expertise so she’s attempting to be taught.”
I at all times really feel somebody is trying over my shoulder after I’m on the pc so this freaked me out.
18. Sooner or later a affected person needed to go to the X-ray which he was taken to in a wheelchair. About 5 minutes later the notification from the affected person’s room went off and me and my favourite work buddy went to the room. As we stepped in we noticed that the room was empty and the home windows had been closed. Even the mattress was lacking during which the affected person didn’t go to the X-ray. We each informed a totally examined nurse and even she had no concept the place the mattress went. On the finish we needed to fill the room with one other mattress.
I’m nonetheless a nursing pupil however this was essentially the most paranormal factor I witnessed to date.
19. I‘m a Labor and Supply/Nursery nurse. We have now a button to push after a supply to play a lullaby over the PA system asserting a delivery via the hospital. One night time nobody was even in the identical room because the button and the lullaby began taking part in. It did that twice then we unplugged the whole factor. It nonetheless went off as soon as extra that night time, and once more a number of days later regardless of being totally disconnected. That was a number of years in the past and nobody ever heard it try this earlier than or since.
20. I’m a medical pupil. Again after I was doing internship at an obstetrics hospital, I often ended my night time shift at round 2am. As I walked again to my quarter, I’d often see a child woman, most likely 5-7 yo, working and taking part in within the corridor. Once I introduced this up with one among my professors, he simply informed me to show a blind eye. In keeping with him, “they” had been simply taking part in and would do no hurt in case you pretended to not see them.
21. Once I was a nursing pupil up on an ICU ground I used to be hanging antibiotics in my affected person’s room after I heard an audible, “Hey.” I flip round and there’s no one else within the room. Thoughts you, my affected person was intubated and sedated so there’s no doable method it was them. It was a girl’s voice as properly so I believed it was my preceptor. I’m going again out to the nurse’s station and I requested my preceptor if that was her within the room attempting to catch my consideration. She informed me no and and I’ve by no means seen somebody’s eyes get so large. Apparently the room I used to be in has had essentially the most paranormal sightings and exercise out of all of the rooms on the unit. Sightings as in shadows sitting within the nook of the room, voices being heard and curtains being flung violently throughout the railings. Nobody ever informed me about this room previous to my preceptorship so it simply added to everybody’s beliefs it was haunted AF.
22. I do know anyone who’s a nurse. She informed me a narrative about how this lady was unconscious when she got here into the hospital and when she awoke she was hysterical, and cried nonstop simply begging to be taken outdoors, so ultimately they did. When she was outdoors she calmed down and mentioned she has the flexibility to see the useless and so they knew she may see her in order that they surrounded her mattress all shouting for her assist.
23. My mother works in a hospital. Throughout Hurricane Maria the constructing suffered a number of harm and administration selected to shut an entire ground as an alternative of fixing it. It was once the pediatrics ground. When individuals go up there they’ll clearly hear infants crying although the ground is totally deserted and the ground beneath is for grownup sufferers solely. It has been caught on video.
24. Alone within the break room, I’d really feel the room get chilly after which the again of my hair could be ruffled.
25. RN right here. I used to be cleansing up a useless physique at work when the top of the hospital mattress began shifting up by itself.
I used to be alone and I’m not fats sufficient for my stomach to be hitting the buttons (which I’ve seen occur), so I’m nonetheless unsure what prompted it to occur.
26. My mother used to work in residence care, not precisely a nurse. Sooner or later she was at a person’s home feeding him his supper. She cleaned up, made positive the person was arrange and mentioned goodbye earlier than leaving. He appeared completely regular to her. As she walked down the entrance driveway to her automotive she obtained a bizarre feeling. She stored strolling till a random enormous gust of wind stopped her in her tracks. She tells me she heard somebody telling her to return. She turned again and went inside to seek out that the person had handed. If she had left he most likely wouldn’t have been discovered for a few days.
27. We had a bit of boy come by ambulance and he was a toddler. His mother and father had put him to mattress and he was with a chilly. Nothing critical however developed tragically into extra and he began coming out and in of consciousness. We needed to do a speedy intubation and he ended up passing away a number of days later. Earlier than Mother and Dad made it to the hospital, he stored speaking about his child sister Hannah. Not quickly after we needed to life saving measures. I used to be distraught as a result of I had a son related in age and a daughter named Hannah.
Quick ahead. Roughly two years later, household is available in with sick toddler. They remembered me (I did as soon as I recalled their story) and I used to be their supplier once more. Their daughter’s identify was Hanna. It startled me and I recalled with readability the boy talking of his sister, whom I assumed was alive and at residence. Nope, she wasn’t even conceived but.
Child, fortunately, went residence with mother and father and doing properly however I’ll always remember that. Little boy and his child sister, Hanna.
28. We had been on an evening shift, standing/sitting across the nurses station and speaking about ‘bizarre’ issues that had occurred. One of many HCAs was in a aspect room and the lights flicked on and off twice… name bells going off when there was nobody about to press them… listening to a cough when there was nobody there and so forth, and so forth. As we had been speaking, there was a pause within the dialog and really clearly we heard typing from the keyboard on the physician’s desk which was simply across the nook from us. I stepped across the nook to see who it was as often the docs would verify in with us earlier than sitting down, simply to say hi there and to see if there have been any jobs needing down. So I appeared across the nook after listening to the keys being tapped as if somebody was typing, solely to see nobody there! Was very freaky and we needed to change the convo as all of us felt too uncomfortable after that!
29. We’ve truly had a room sprinkled with holy water a number of instances by our pastoral care as a result of quantity of deaths we’ve had in the identical room.
30. There’s most likely some medical clarification for this, however nonetheless the weirdest factor I’ve seen as a nurse to date. We had a really strong, confused outdated woman on our ground. Her room was in entrance of the nurse’s station so we may keep watch over her, and had one among our nurses aids as a sitter too. She was at all times preventing, kicking, attempting to get away from bed. Very stressed and agitated, as some sufferers I’ve had earlier than can get earlier than dying. Sooner or later we had been known as into the room as her coronary heart price was happening and he or she lay nonetheless along with her eyes open. It was 30…20…then flat lined. We checked for a pulse and didn’t discover any. She was a DNR so we didn’t try resuscitation. We shut her eyes, put together to get the physique bag and name the household, the sitter stays in there to start out getting the physique prepared. Lower than 10 minuets later she calls us again in. The outdated woman is at it once more, hitting, kicking, attempting to get out of the mattress. She got here again to life! Actually we discovered the scenario hilarious, and I nonetheless have by no means seen any affected person come again like that on their very own. I feel she made it out of the hospital, too.
