Haunted Hospitals/Units

[AFJ32780, MSN, RN, NP]

I currently work for a hospital that is associated with a county hospital that was built in 1918. This historical building is now a clinical building and admin offices. According to some folks this building is haunted by the “ghosts” of nurses from the 1920s? Other than it being an old building (newly remodeled) I have never encountered anything ghostly or such.

I have encountered unexplained situations at my parents house but never at my hospital.

Have any any of you all encountered a haunted unit or hospital?

I find this topic quite fascinating. ?

And then good luck getting to sleep!! Lol. I worked in an ER that was in an old hospital building, and we slept upstairs in old, unused patient rooms during some blizzards.... it was so creepy. I saw lots of weird shadows and did not sleep well. Probably one part overactive imagination and the rest, who knows?

When I was in Afghanistan, I was not afraid to walk around in pitch black conditions; no self-respecting ghost or spirit would spend an extra moment in that awful part of the world.

At my old job, there was one room in particular that was odd. A couple of patients who had no history of hallucinations had seen someone standing behind the RN while that RN was assessing them. I usually chalk this stuff up to hospital-delirum or something like that. But there was one night I was sitting at the nurses' station and our power went off. Every single light around us went out and when they all went out, the lights in that room simultaneously turned on (they had been off previously as that patient had been sleeping). I don't tend to believe in this sort of thing, but that did weird me out.

The ghosts are nurses from the past who cant rest due to short staffing issues LOL

My very first nursing job was at an Assisted living facility. While doing med pass on the 2nd floor of the facility I would always see a Dark figure out of the corner of my eye coming down the hall, I would look up to see which pt was coming for their morning meds, as I would look up the dark shadow would disappear. later I was talking to another nurse who worked that wing and they too said they saw the same shadow. They say when a person passes you should open a window to set the soul free. Sadly we had pt pass on that wing of the unit to pass prior to me accepting my position, and unfortunately the windows in the facility did not open on the 2nd floor.
