Cool! I like that whole "you need to be quiet" concept. (As someone who was brought up in a quiet household, and stills enjoys tranquility, I sympathize with the noise-hating ghost!)

The whole cellphone thing, too - I remember when I was in the hospital, EVERY piece of paper had on it "No cellphones." Yet every TV show or movie I see has people talking on cellphones in the hospital.

It's nice to see classic Season 1 stuff, so thanks for this!

I know! I keep mine off anytime I'm within ten feet of a hospital out of habit, but I don't think the newer ones interfere with equipment the way the old massive brick phones used to.

I've got quite a few long-suffering season 1 bunnies bouncing around the corral. I hope to get to them all eventually. :-)

I love Sam's foggy panic here and the different tones of their text messages. The noise-hating murderous tyrant of a ghost is a great concept, too.

Thanks! I'm glad it worked out okay.

Would it be wrong to say that I completely sympathize with that ghost? :D

Hee! I can see that. :-)

Sam's tension made me jumpy though :)

Cool! That means it worked. :-) *hands you a cup of... um... chamomile?*

I thought it was just a British thing that cellphones weren't allowed in hospitals - because the STAFF seem to carry them in all the American hospital shows! Heh heh. Glad you've set me straight!

That was fabulous! You could really feel Sam's sense of panic growing, and Dean, probably completely oblivious to all of it!

North American TV shows are rarely an accurate reflection of reality, which is probably a good thing! XD

Yay! I'm glad it worked!

I love Sam's stream-of-conciousness here. Poor guy.

Thanks! I was kinda mean to Sam, I guess. :-)
