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...

There was just a MASSIVE fire that destroyed several buildings there the whole hill was on fire according to witnesses!

according to the info I received, those buildings were new housing units that burned. The old place is still standing.

I use to work in a ltc facility in texas, there was an elderly hispainc women there. she would see little boys and girls in room under her bed when a patient was going to die. if it was a little girl then a female resident was going to die and if it was a little boy then a male resident would die. i did not belive it untill it had happened to me one night working 10-6 shift. she would get on her call light and ask the staff to come and get them out from under her bed because they made to much noise and she could not sleep. when this would happen staff would go room to room checking on the patients.

Wild thread. My dad has a story when he was hospitalized for a length of time at a quasi-famous teaching hospital.

During the nights he felt hands tucking blankets around his legs and such.

Then, during the day, my mother saw a oddly dressed nurse zoom around a corner. I don't remember if she called a question to the woman, but she said it seemed odd the way the woman moved and looked. (I'd have to ask her the details again.)

However, when my mom and dad mentioned the stories to the nursing staff, they said that they had a ghost that was a nurse that had never married. This nurse had spent her career working at the hospital. They agreed that they've heard those stories from other patients.

I used to work in and old labor and delivery unit. It was a small hospital, so often times I was back there by myself. I liked to keep the lights low and things quite back there, so naturally I heard a lot of creeps and groans. There was a whole back hall unused, there was also no access to it accept by passing me. I could hears metal objects clanging, and doors shutting. Sounded like somebody was getting ready for a c section.I could always sense something there with me it seemed. There was also a back room on the med surg floor that was never used. It was a patient room converted to a storage room. That room was strange... Call light always going off, and nobody near it...Whole hospital had a creepy aura...Maybe it was the cemetary next door..If that in itself is not strange....

Dad felt a nurse often tucking blankets around his legs at night and such, but no one would be in the room.

When they told the nursing staff, one agreed that there was a nurse that had never married. She had spent her whole career working at the hospital. Other patients had mentioned similar stories of feeling someone "tucking them in".

my sister said one day when we were like 18 and 19 that she seen like an old fashioned girl, like a prairie girl, sit up out of my body, she seen it while i was sleeping. she would deny it now if asked, anything scary like that from our past she denies. we had just moved in to this house and it was by a whole lot of wooded area, where one could imagine being a settling area. she also seen flying windchimes and some other stuff that night, so i don't know what she was on. my brother and her at another point in that house both saw a flying saucer over the pond in the back yard. she denies this happened too, but my brother insists it was there. there was alot of weird stuff that happened there, it was supposedly haunted by the previous owner and a few others. the house was creepy to drive up to at night, you got a feeling of dread driving up there.:uhoh21:

They were the old buildings being renovated into condo units that burned. They were doing a really great job from what I hear.

Yup, its totally normal, consider yourself lucky that you are among the few to be that open to allow these visions to come. they can provide very useful insight into where you are in your life now. Ive had stuff through dreams and strong feelings of deja-vu in certain new places that Ive always been drawn too . Realized the pull was because of previous lives. Of course many may not believe this, and thats fine. Everyone has their own belief. This is mine. There is actually a working psychiatrist that has wrote a book on past lives that he happened upon accidently with his client. He now does past life regression full time and helps many people. He never believed it before he had the experience. forgot his name though , hes in Florida now, when I remember it I will post it.
