In the October thirtieth, nineteen eighty nine edition of the Fort Worth Star
Telegram, reporter Christopher Evans wrote a detailed feature about two paranormal investigators named Terry
Smith and Mark Jean. The duo shared many intriguing stories that had come to
them in the course of their research, but one in particular stood out.
It was a dramatic account that had been told during a taped interview with the
medic from a Dallas hospital that had since closed its doors. The story took
place in the summer of nineteen eighty three. A patient had been rushed to
the hospital's emergency room around midnight with a self inflicted gunshot wound. The man
had taken careful aim, pressuring the muzzle of the gun against his cheek so
that the bullet would tear away the rare portion of his school as it exited.
By the time emergency crews had arrived, there as little that could be
done. Although the man was transported to the hospital and placed on a respirator
for a short time, physicians had no choice but to pronounce the man dead.
Not long after that, the medic was taking a break and a staff
lounge on the second floor. There had always been stories about the second floor
of the hospital being haunted by a doctor who had committed suicide, but the
medic had never paid much attention. Just then, however, a nurse walked
into the room. She looked shaken and said that she had just seen the
ghost doctor. The staff lounge had large windows overlooking the main hallway. The
medic immediately turned around to look through the glass and saw a physician whom he
did not recognize. In and of itself, that was not unusual until the
medic realized that the physician's arm was around a patient that he was counseling and
talking to. And it was the patient I had just brought in and the
one with the gunshot. In other words, the patient who had just been
pronounced dead. The medic was stunned and jumped up to follow the phantoms.
They approached a doorway that led to some stairs. Although the two men side
by side were too white to walk through the entrance, they effortlessly slipped past.
Then they turned to climbed stairs. The medical lost sight of the pair
and never saw them again. So why had the ghost doctor chosen to counsel
this particular new entry to the spirit world. The medic and his coworkers did
have a theory. As he told Smith and Jean in his interview. The
man was distraught over family problems, money problems, much the same story as
the doctor. They had also both committed suicide in the same fashion. It
is touching to think that in death, one desperate and lonely person managed to
finally find someone who truly understood his state of mind, the ghostly doctor,
who had once been there himself.
