The Adventures of Medical Internship: Special Halloween Edition

THE HAUNTED ICU

For two weeks, I was the lone night float intern in the ICU. We had some crazy cases, as you can imagine, but what I want to write about are the stories the staff told me about how our ICU is haunted. Yes, you read that right-haunted!

our hospital used to be a physical rehab facility so i'm not sure why it's haunted ( ... )

Whoa, these are awesome! Loved them! Do people pass away at the rehab facility often at all? So interesting!

I love these stories too! I'm all about the haunted things. Except, of course, when I'm directly involved. Then maybe not so much.

LOL, being directly involved is definitely a whole different ballgame!

Thanks for reading. :)

I like the elevator one the most, I think. Very creepy little tales. I want to believe ghosts are real, and my mom is a professional psychic, so you'd think I'd be less skeptical, but I'm just not sure. I've had my own share of weird things happen, but never anything I couldn't at least partially explain or connect to something else. My dad is a fundamentalist Christian (yeah, they're divorced, haha) and he's really, really touchy about the supernatural. Apparently my great-grandmother was a spiritualist, and my dad thinks there's some sort of curse in our family now. He said the ghosts and demons used to torment him at night until he prayed. I'm not saying he's wrong, but I think he might also have some mental issues he never addressed. I mean, he's a highly functional person, but his desperate clinging to religion and insistence that he's at constant warfare makes me wonder. Plus he told me once that he only ever has nightmares. Anyway, he's really sensitive to that sort of thing, and he's actually psychic, too, though he'd never ( ... )

Whoa! Those are definitely freaky! Shadow people, eek!

Don't even get me started on Ouija boards, lol. I've had some particularly nasty experiences with them.

My sister is definitely more sensitive than I am. She used to hear whole conversations when I was little, and they usually were in different languages. My house growing up was definitely haunted by multiple ghosts, so we both experienced things, but she did way more than I did. I believe every minute of it, though.

This stuff runs in my family too. Apparently, my aunt and grandfather were possessed by demons and my grandmother scarified a dog at an intersection to exorcise them…and I'm not joking! Lots of cray cray going on there! Maybe that's why I'm so fascinated by it. ;)

Thanks for reading!

Now, about this haunted house of yours... ;-)

Ha! I should blog about it, cause seriously, it's some scary shit! My old house was definitely haunted by multiple ghosts and my dead German Shepard stuck around for a long time. Makes me wonder if the "walls" are just thinner there, but I got so used to it over time. Sounds crazy, but it's true!

Oh thanks, the hairs on my arm are all standing up now!

Love the stories. I think the reason you haven't experienced your resident ghosties is because you want to. It's usually those who DON'T want to who sees them plenty!

LOL, glad you enjoyed it, and yay for hair-raising! And you're absolutely right, everyone who is terrified of them sees them, damn it! *shakes fist* I just want to see one! One, damn it!
