Nursing ghost stories 😧

Nurses General Nursing

I've seen nursing ghost story threads on here before, but it's been awhile and everybody had a really fun time with it, anybody have any good ones?

I met a patient that seriously made me question if she was possessed once. Just straight up creepy, held her head at weird angles, would smile this predatory, sinister smile, and had the most evil sounding laugh. So freaky. I remember her yelling, "My eyes! They took my eyes! They're taking yours next!" while she was looking at me with that grin, and then she just threw back her head and howled with evil laughter. I was really glad she wasn't my patient so I didn't have to deal with her.

By the way, her eyes were just fine.

Sounds like Linda Blair syndrome to me.

How about paranormal stories when the patients are still alive? I have come in contact with several "possessed" people. Call it psych issues all you want, but when the language line has no idea what creepy language the patient is yelling, you start to freak out a little. :blink:

maybe they are speaking in reverse English like in the Exorcist.

Specializes in ER, SANE, Home Health, Forensic.

BIGT68-- Sounds like they enjoyed you working with them, and wanted to say goodbye.

Specializes in Medsurg/ER.

Yeah that's what I thought as well, it was a unique experience that I'll always remember, just caught me a little off guard, haha

Has anyone ever had creepy things happen during end of life care ? That's actually another fear of mine... I think I would lose it if anything paranormal occurred immediately after the patient died

I don't know if this qualifies as what you are looking for, but, many times when I have a patient on comfort care and actively dying, they talk to people who aren't there. I had a patient once say "momma i'm not ready to go". and "Susan wants me to go with her", and when I asked the family they said these were people in her life that had already passed.

A couple of weeks before my Mom passed away she said she saw her father and my Dad's parents. She had been ill for a while. The hospice nurse told me it's very common for people who are dying to see LO that have passed.
