Am I allowed to collect stories

I found this site after loosing my dad last year. Some awesome, unexplainable events took place around our loss. I found a lot of solace on this site and actually became a bit addicted to finding other unusual stories.

I'm interesting in compiling comforting supernatural-type stories (big and small miracles, unusual events, surprising results, stories of comfort, etc.). Identity is not important, only accuracy. I have no idea if I'd be able to publish such a collection, or if I'm legally able to make this request.

Before anyone gets upset with this request, can someone provide insight into whether or not this is a viable plan? Can nurses provide such information and would they even want to?

I've thought about this for a long time and finally determined there's only one way to find out.
Thanks!
