What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

Nursing is a profession that often involves long lonely night shifts in eerie hospital wards. It's a perfect breeding ground for ghost stories. These stories often involve sightings of apparitions, strange noises, and unexplained events that are said to have taken place in hospitals, hospices, and other healthcare settings. Some of these stories are believed to be based on true events, while others are purely fictional. Regardless, they continue to captivate and intrigue both nurses and non-nurses alike - providing a spooky glimpse into the world of healthcare after dark.

I know you have seen and heard freaky things. Share your nursing ghost stories...

No personal ghost stories as of yet, but intrigued and hypnotized by all of these scaaary tales.

Had a patient who had a long, difficult death from CA of the everything. Moaned, whimpered, uncomfortable no matter how much morphine we gave her. As the greenest member of the nursing team, I was assigned to spend as much time with her as possible, as we knew she was dying, and felt that she shouldn't be alone. She stopped whimpering suddenly, looked toward the bottom of the bed, lifted both arms up, smiled, sat halfway up, said "Mother" and collapsed back dead. I had glanced in the direction that she was looking when she smiled, and did not see anything, so this is a second party ghost story.

nursing related or not does anyone just ever just get the feeling that they are not alone, yet there is not another soul around? I do. :stone

I have had some ghostly encounters but more often than not it is just a feeling. Does any get what I am saying?

odd thing i never get that feeling any where except my house.

one thing that i hate is the seeing things out of the corner of your eye. everynight at least 10 times i am seeing something or hearing something very un-natural. :sofahider

:sofahider i had an encouter the other day after reading this thread. i looked at the floor by my door and happened to notice someone walking in front of it. I was the only one awake in my house.

Yikes!!!! I have seen some odd things but they have all been in the day and I get un-natural feelings at night. If I saw one of ghost friends at night... I do believe I would faint.

Nurse Judy, I would like the link to you website also please.

Please keep this thread going, I don't have anything to add yet, but do enjoy everyone else's stories.

That happens to me at least once every evening with the door from the house into the garage! I'll look over and see for all I can tell, blurry legs walking right through.[/quote']

It's freaky isn't it???

[SaraO'Hara]

Goodness, yes. I work in LTC and this thread has me a bit spooked that I'll see something.

[Spritenurse1210, BSN, RN]

I guess we could always call that show "most haunted" and have them come to one of the hospitals or LTC facilities mentioned in this thread!! they'd probably have a field day!!!
