Probably a Photoshop picture, but still cool.

My thoughts as well, but well within the spirit of the upcoming Halloween season since I have a little one and need to gear up.

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?:confused:

i have had this feeling for the past 10 yrs. my boyfriend says he feels that whenever he comes to my house. esp in the basement (where my room is)

Ok so Im sitting in my house on a gloomy saturday morning, it's raining outside and im reading all of these freaked out stories and looking at ghost pictures. I jumped 3 feet in the air when my cell phone rang and had to have my 12 year old escort me to the basement laundry room so i could retrieve my laundry. Thanks for all the spooky stories.

No "ghost" stories but some of our pediatrics patients during their palliative care/dying process have said people were in the room who were not, one child said he saw angles, another girl said "god" was here for her. The only time I was kind of scared was when a girl was saying "don't let them take me" and she had not been talking for days. It was only her parents and me in the room. She was dying, end stages, so I assume she saw someone there to take her to heaven.
