Every nurse has a ghost story

[poostinkywink]

That’s according to my guilty pleasure - Haunted Hospitals! Love watching this on a Saturday evening with my cat and way too much chocolate. So, come on nurses, is their opening statement true?

And if so, what happened…👀

😁

What is spooky about the spot someone was murdered? I'm sure plenty of city dwellers have walked over/near a murder spoot withour feeling any woo feelings

My ward is supposed to be haunted. An ex colleague saw three people standing round a bed in the middle of the night. She thought it was the parents. But realised they were asleep in the Z bed. In the morning the child asked who the people were. Buzzers do go off in empty bed spaces. But I've never seen anything.

Just remembered the haunted lift. On. Nights, Every time you went towards this particular lift, the doors would open. We used to say that you as we got out. It stopped when the lift was replaced.

Years ago I was working a night shift at a children's hospice.

We had an incredibly sad case where a boy died in the early hours of the morning. I was in the room with his parents. The room could leads out on to the garden which had a music area- wind chimes, big drums you can bash, bells etc.

Minutes after he died at around 5am we all heard sounds from the garden - sounding exactly like an 8 year old was having the time of his life making as much noise as possible for about 2 minutes - then it completely stopped.

Parents genuinely found so much comfort in thinking that their boy had had one last play before moving on.

I quite enjoy the stories, even if they are just hallucinations.

If you don't maybe just don't read the thread and let us all get on with enjoying ghost stories.

Jeez, i did not say I did not 'enjoy' the stories, just that they are just thst, stories
Stop trying to pick an arguement

Posting "it's all bollocks" on a ghost story thread sounds very much like you are trying to start an argument.

So if someone had been murdered in a dark alleyway you wouldn’t feel remotely creeped out being there alone ? Fair enough , I think most 18 yr olds would , just my opinion .

That was a fact. Once you are dead you are dead.
No spirits, etc. Hospitals have deaths on a daily basis; they should be full of 'ghosts' flying around constantly, but they aren't.

So, not an argument, just fact

Yes we did do that when I was nursing in the early 90’s.

Someone was murdered on the landing of my house about ten feet from where I’m writing this, and no, I’m not creeped out being here alone, and there are no visitations or spooky vibes. It’s just an ordinary landing.

The votes are in! According to this poll, not all nurses have a ghost story. Some do, and many of those will have experienced something due to their tiredness and place of employment being old and creaky. But some of these remain unexplained… 👻 Thanks for sharing your stories 🙌 I’ve really enjoyed reading them all!

I was talking to a nurse, who used to work at Retford Hospital, Notts, who told me that a nurse in 1960's uniform (blue dress, short sleeves with detachable lace cuffs, belt with silver buckle and stiff cap) was regularly seen walking up some stairs in the old building. There are no longer any wards in the old part of the hospital, just offices.
The hospital was built in 1922.
Maintenance staff accepted she was a ghost and weren't bothered by her.
