Speaker 3: Give me a lot, lost off, con trouble brothers, all that,
and now she's so her. She saw her.
Speaker 4: She don't leadership, not a dance.
Speaker 5: She wasn't. She was gonna leave a glance.
Speaker 4: She's older, she's older.
Speaker 3: Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Paranormal
Portal podcast. I'm your host, Brent Thomas, and I'm absolutely
thrilled you're here with us. And of course I have
my good friend and co host, mister Don Longbeard here.
Speaker 6: With me, and like a bad habit, I'm back at it.
Speaker 3: Well, I just can't quit you.
Speaker 6: There's not a draft dregs in the world to drive
you away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly like a bad rash. No, I'm just kidding,
all right. So we are back at it, ladies and gentlemen,
and we have a whole night full of fun or
day full of fun, whatever time you're listening to us,
it's supposed to be fun anyway. So we've got a
bunch of stories to go over. Tonight we're going to
continue talking about haunted hospitals, and this will be the
second installment of our Haunted Hospital series. These stories that
think are just really fantastic, and uh, the variety of
encounters is really amazing to me. And uh, of course
we've covered many times on the show, whether through the
podcast or through our YouTube channel and radio show, that
hospitals are one of those hotspots. Done.
Speaker 6: Yes they are. You know, I mean, what a better
place to go to die? You know.
Speaker 3: What you used to do this weekend? Head to the
hospital and day. Now are you here?
Speaker 6: Well it came back because you suck.
Speaker 3: Turned out the doctors were much better than Nathan. No,
nobody wants to die, of course, but that's what does
happen in hospitals. Ladies and gentlemen, and as such, there
tends to be uh And I don't know. Maybe it's
by the virtue of people. Maybe it's by virtue of
people just expiring that you know, their time is up,
and maybe there's a lot of energy left over from
their physical shells that can end up staying put in
the hospitals, and either those kind of energies themselves stick around,
or maybe other energies come that maybe subsist on those
kind of charges that are left in the era. I
don't know, and I don't pretend to know. I don't
know if anybody knows, but there's a lot of theories
out there about it. But there's no question that hospitals
are very much a hotspot and draw a lot of
people to go investigate, especially if they're you know, defunct
and closed down. Those abandoned buildings, I mean, abandoned buildings
in themselves tend to draw energies as well, but especially
when it's a hospital. It's just like those are beacons
for a lot of activity to be drawn to those locations.
So it's no wonder that these nurses and workers are
experiencing a lot of weirdness throughout the course of their
of their duties, and my hat really goes off to them,
because I imagine it must get pretty hard to do
your job in some of these situations, don't you think.
Speaker 6: Don Yeah, absolutely, you know, I mean all joking aside.
You know, you know, you know people passing there. You know,
you've got people passing in one part of the the
hospital and people being born or or getting better, you know,
in different you know spots of the hospital. And I
bet you, I bet you if you went to even
if you just went from one wing to the other,
you would feel the energy shift from kind of maybe
I don't know, I'm just kind of you know, spitballing here,
but you know, maybe one's more of an aggy, aggony
ward and the other one's more of a joyous ward,
you know, the maternity ward being joyous new life brought in,
and you know the other you know another one, you know,
like you know where people have died, you know, especially
e rs. I can imagine those being really hot spots
for you know, not necessarily bad energy, but sad energy.
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. In fact, you know,
the variety of activities that happen at hospitals. Of course,
you know, again, they leave energy, and so those energies
either become sentient on their own, or maybe people didn't
pass over like they should have or or whatever. So
it certainly lends to being a lightning rod for paranormal activities.
So tonight we got a bunch of stories of nurses
and other hospital staff experiencing the paranormal. So are you
ready to get into this?
Speaker 6: Let's do it.
Speaker 3: Let's do it. Okay. The first one is is I'm
a night nurse for four years now at an old
folks home and had a palliative who couldn't sleep because
of incredibly vivid hallucinations. She would describe voodoo people around
her room that would just stare at her, waiting for
her to die. I didn't take it seriously until the
lady across the hall, who rarely ever spoke, started seeing
them and her room as well. Legitimate shivers.
Speaker 6: Wow wow, Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I wonder if they were legitimately voodoo people or
if they just appeared more like tribal type apparitions, and
so they just you know, coined them voodoo people. But
it's hard to know exactly what these people were seeing.
But what a terrifying event.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt. You know, yeah, how would you how
would you? How would you portray a voodoo character? That's yeah,
it's I think you might be right. I think they
might just be misinterpreting what they see. But yeah, I mean,
anybody standing in your in your room, or in your
doorway that doesn't look of this time period, there's a
question mark bear right exactly.
Speaker 3: So I suppose like even even some traditional Native American
UH ceremonial garb for instance, could for an uninformed person
that wasn't aware of the you know, especially like when
you're dealing with the older generations and stuff, they may
not have a real cultural awareness for those kind of things,
so they could possibly they could possibly think that they
were something else. So anyway, let's take a look at this.
It's the next one I got. Is this one's interesting?
Says I work in a cardiovascular surgical ICEEU, and we
have a lot of messed up people, both physically and
mentally that come through our unit. We had a stretch
of nights where each corner room of our unit, it
is a perfectly square unit, reported seeing a cat walking around.
Not a friendly cat either. Apparently the thing was hissing
at them, and the accounts were so similar to each
other that we actually spent probably a half hour looking
around for a cat and then had a security plan
and ops come up to look as well. No cat
was ever seen or found. Two of these four patients
coated the next day. Wows that is that is really wild? Right?
Speaker 6: So the cat's a harbinger?
Speaker 3: Huh it appears to be. Yeah, it appears to be
like a harbinger. That's a great way of putting it.
Is that just a representation or or what's going on there?
Speaker 6: Weirdness?
Speaker 3: It is weird, very very weird. So the next story
Don is a bit longer. These last few have been
quite short, but this one talks about I work. It says,
I work a stroke telemetry floor on the on the
bought shift. I don't even know what that means, do
you now bought? I'm not sure what that means either.
And ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if there's if
that's just vernacular in the in the industry or what.
But all I can do is just read you what
I found. So it says most of our patients are elderly.
Apparently there are two things that patients see before they
pass away. Some will say that two men are walking
in their rooms and tell telling them to get ready
to leave. The patient will call and tell us that
these men are big and abrasive in their demeanor, and
they are either terrified or annoyed when they see the
two men. The other thing they see is a little
boy who will go into their rooms and try to
wake them up. The boy is usually loud and runs
around their rooms. The patients will call and ask who's
letting children just run around late at night? Several nights
or even that same shift, we're coding or cleaning the
patient for the funeral home to come pick up. Wow,
So they either see these two gruff men or they're
seeing this little child. And I wonder is it like,
are the gruff men the good ones that you want
to see? Or is the kid the good one you
want to see?
Speaker 6: Yeah, they didn't they didn't explain that part, did they?
Which one you know? Who lived? And who die? You know?
Speaker 3: They all died. They said that these are what people
see to prior to passing. Is either either the two
men or they see the kid. But either way those
patients end up passing very soon after having these experiences.
How's that for the creepy scale done?
Speaker 6: You know? Wow? You know, but we just talked about
a cat, you know, and so and then and then
now it's two gruff men and a child or a boy,
a young boy. That's weird. You know, that's weird. And
they're seeing the same things though it's not like one
or similar things in the case of you know, the
boy or the gruff men, but they're seeing one or
the other there. But it's you know, but more than
just one set of people are seeing it. That's weird, right,
that's really weird.
Speaker 3: That is. And you wonder if it's location specific. So
does each location have their own Harbinger representatives?
Speaker 6: Wow? For either are they on staff? You did use
the word representatives?
Speaker 3: Well, you know what I mean, it's like either they're
representing the good the good deal or the bad deal.
But you know, what does that all mean? And I
don't pretend to know. I don't know, but it is pretty.
Speaker 6: Profound, right, Yes, it is absolutely, I think as well.
Speaker 3: I think that's really that's really bizarre. So let's continue
our journey into the pattern normal. Okay, Now this one
sounds really interesting. Don says, my town has two really
old hospitals one no longer functions as overnight, and the
stories are unsettling. No one cleans the old er alone
because all the lights and call bells go off other floors.
There's a kid with his ball, a lady in a
white dress, et cetera. A coworker was cleaning an entire
floor utterly solo, which is the norm, and bounce between
rooms because the cleaning situation stays wet for a few minutes,
and upon returning to a freshly white bed, handprints were
clearly visible.
Speaker 6: Mm.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's pretty bizarre.
Speaker 6: Hmm.
Speaker 3: So there's handprints appearing, and I imagine what they're talking
about is that. I'm sure the mattresses are you know,
they're they're not absorbent so that you know, if body
fluid is going they don't soak in, so they probably
peel off the sheets you know, longder them. But then
they they probably sterilize the surface of the mattress and
it takes a while to dry up. But they come
back and see these handprints.
Speaker 6: Huhm, wow, that's creepy.
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, is that a good thing
or bad thing? I don't know. Ladies and gentlemen I'm
absolutely fascinated by the paranormal, and you know, obviously because
they do a show about it, right, So, I mean,
obviously I'm I'm really intrigued by all of this. But
I don't know if I would if I experience these
things myself. And I've had several different experiences, don't get
me wrong, but I've never seen handprints appear, and I
don't know how I would process that if it was really,
you know, happening to me. It's easy to think, well,
it's just well it's a handprint, big deal, you know,
move on. But if you know those shouldn't be there
and they keep appearing and you don't know what's leaving them,
you know that that gets to be a whole different
game all of a sudden, you know what I.
Speaker 6: Mean, Yeah, it certainly does. You know, it's certainly a
game changer when you realize that, oh my, you know,
this is more than just you know, somebody walking through
and doing these things, you know, and and the number
of times it happens, you know, yeah, yeah, I could.
I could probably leave it right now.
Speaker 3: Here's one that's gonna that's gonna be a real creepy
and it's very short. But I've heard a ton of
these stories in my research, and this seems to be
a theme that comes quite often. But this is not
my personal story. But when my mom worked as an
er nurse, a guy came in from a car accident
and was losing blood in the midst of a resuscitation.
The main jolts awake in screams, don't let me go
back there, please, please, please, don't let me go back
and a few seconds later they lost him. Wow, you
know that's the that's the tough one. And here's the thing,
ladies and gentlemen, I mean a lot of things when
they happen in life, it's like, well, you know, you
can you can see your way through it. You can
change you know, like say you're you have a bad habit.
You know you're you're a big drinker and it's not healthy. Well,
you can change it and you can correct that. But
what if it's at the end of the journey and
and you know you can't like correct that, can you?
I mean? Or can you? I don't know? And that's
a whole philosophical discussion. But we we assume whatever we
transition to is our experience from then on, Like that's it.
That's where whatever we experience there is what we get
to experience for you know, our understanding of eternity. So
what if it sucks? What then? Because that's it, that's
the ticket you got punched, and you know there you're
on the ride and that's where they drop you off.
And what the hell?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Right, that would suck? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is that not as freaky done? So? I mean, these
people are seeing something that terrifies the hell out of them,
and there's there's not a damn thing they can do
about it. I mean, really, there's not a damn thing
you can do about it. It's like, well, you see
what you just took a peek at. Well you're coming back,
you know, and you know, like somebody's bleeding and you
can't stop it. There's only so much we can do
on this end to keep people alive, right and sooner
or later, that's that's that's the journey. So, I mean,
my heart goes out to those people, it really does,
because the idea of people living in torment for an
eternity is absolutely terrifying. This one doesn't sound so terrifying.
It says I work midnights in a long term care
facility as a nurse's assistant. I have two men under
my care, and both of them are unable to use
their call lights. They have severe dementia and debilitating Parkinson's disease,
but still their lights are looped around their bedrail. And
one night the light came on and I went to
answer it, already confused and actually creeped out. Well, I
turned it on and left the room, or I turned
it off and left the room rather, and before I
could get two doors up, the light came back on.
I went in there and both lights were unplugged from
the wall and thrown under their beds. I fished them out,
plugged them back in, and left. I've seen shadows standing
over the dying and felt a tap on my shoulder
while doing chest compressions, so I knew that lady had passed.
I'm not a believer, but some of these things just
can't be explained.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 3: Uh you know, And I imagine if you're working right
in that fringe, you know, on the on the very
edge of life and death, if that's where you work,
and that's where these people do work, I mean they are,
they are right on that teetering point where people need
help to stay alive. I'll bet you they all experience
weird stuff that they that they can't unexplain, that that
is unexplained.
Speaker 6: Rather, yeah, no doubt, you know. And but you know,
was the tap on the shoulder from a coworker, you know,
like saying, hey, you know what it's where, it's done there,
it's it's gone, you know, Is that what that was?
Or was that like I assume a normal type of
tap on the shoulder, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I assume that if the person you know made
mention of it, it must have been unexplained.
Speaker 6: Huh. So yeah, that'd be crazy too.
Speaker 3: Yes, it would, all right. So I've got another And
this is let's see. I was pulling a guard shift
in the CCHS on f OB spikers s p E I,
c h e R one night in a there hadn't
been any action for the whole previous week or so.
The staff was all racked out, and I was walking
the halls and everything was supposed to be off or
on standby. I walked past one room that they used
for locals who were victims of trauma, and the lights
were on, so I toggled the switch down to turn
them off. And I started walking down the hall again,
and I saw the lights come back on out of
the corner of my eye. This is when I went
into full alert mode, safety off and low ready. I
cleared the corner and looked into the room and there
was nothing. I put the switch back in the down
position again and went to call it up on the
Now I'm gonna start that over. I put the switch
back in the down position again and went to call
it up on the intercom. The radio was on the fritz,
so I began walking back to the CQ desk to
report it in person. The lights turned back. At this point,
I'm a little on edge. I can't radio in for help.
There's nobody on the side of the compound that would
hear me yell, and the light switch position keeps changing
when the lights go back on. Keep in mind that
I'm on a forward operating base in a combat zone.
I don't know what I was expecting when I went
to clear the corner and look into the room again,
but I saw nothing but an empty room, a gurney,
a heart monitor, and a crash cart. And I couldn't
tell you to this day why I said what I did,
But I was so I was worried that if I didn't,
the lights would keep switching back on. So I said,
if you're scared of the dark, I'll leave the light
on for you. I finished my shift and left the
light on. I left a note with the desk that
one of the surgeons had asked me to always leave
the light on just in case they had an emergency
come in. For the remainder of my shifts, that light
always remained on. Now that's pretty cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Like that, you know, And I like the idea that
he had a situation, you know, and it was an
uncomfortable situation, but he actually communicated. And and you know,
there is that possibility that it's a you know, a
spirit that's just afraid. It doesn't want to do it's
it hasn't transitioned and it's stuck, but it doesn't want
to be in the dark. So I think I think
that one's kind of beautiful.
Speaker 6: What do you think, Well, you remember, did you we
read a story. I don't remember if it was last
week or just the last couple of weeks about one
of one of the stories was if you leave the
TV on it? And I think it was a room
that was converted into like a storage closet. Ye, and
they had a TV in there, and as long as
the TV was on, everything was cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But when they turned off the TV, all hell broke loose.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Really, they would have racket and calls and electrical issues,
but as soon as the TV was left on, it
was peaceful. So I'll read this one and then we'll
go to break. So let's check out this one. I said.
Worked at a hospital doing transport for a couple of years.
The transport home base was in the basement of the hospital,
so this is where all the laundry has done and
supplies are also sorted there, and I hated working late
nights after this incident. On this particular night, I was
the only one in the basement when I heard whistling
at the end of the hallway by the elevator. I
poked my head around the corner, expecting to see my
only coworker on duty that night, but there was absolutely
no one there. Well, I shrugged it off. I'm not
really easily spooked. Nights are slow, so I ate some
snacks and hung out in the break room for a bit.
Next thing I know, I hear a loud bang. I
walked into the hallway and the bed is rolling down
the hall, bumping into the sides man. At this point,
I think that my coworker is BS and me, so
I radioed him and he says he's upstate in the cafeteria.
I still don't believe him and think I'll catch him
in the act. I walk past the laundry room and
the machines start pop my head in there, expecting to
find him, but it's completely empty. Okay, starting to get
a little nervous now. I walk in the laundry room
and the machines completely stop. I freeze, then run out
and head towards the elevator when I hear the whistling again.
At this point, I know I'm the only worker in
the basement. As I'm standing there waiting for the elevator,
things start falling off the shelves down the hall, boxes
of gloves, tissues, packages of tubes. I'm literally standing there
watching them fall off one by one. At the opposite
end of the hallway, I kid you not. My entire
body broke out in goosebumps, my hair stood on end,
and I had the strong gut feeling that I was
being watched. I was not alone, and I'm getting into
the elevator, I feel what feels like someone brushing my arm.
I went upstairs, found my coworker in the cafeteria, freaked
out to him, and got the hell out of there
and transferred soon after that. The creepy thing to add
to it is that I usually whistle mindlessly to myself
at work. It was almost as if the spirit was
mimicking me. The creepiest feeling ever. Now that's a whole
lot of intensity. Could you imagine that experience?
Speaker 6: Well, and it's just so much experience.
Speaker 3: Too, That's what I mean. It's not just.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, exactly. The overwhelming amount of energy that's going
through there is it could be just horrible for a
lot of people if they notice it, you.
Speaker 3: Know, right, No, there's no question is that isn't off
the charts kind of experience. Now, whatever's doing it, it's
got to be a pretty powerful thing, because I mean,
it's a big deal to have like a you know,
a spoon fall off the counter or something. I mean,
that's a big deal. And then when you consider a
whole hallway of stuff going crazy and whistling, there's auditory sounds,
there's physical experience, there's things moving a bed, rolling down
the hall. I mean, that's that's a whole lot. So
I don't blame the person. I don't think i'd want
to work there either.
Speaker 6: Yeah, i'd be forgetting the heck out too.
Speaker 3: Ye going code nope, code nope. Sorry. All right, ladies
and gentlemen, We're going to take a break real quick,
so we will be right back. Don't go away for
more of the Paranormal Portal and these haunted hospitals. I'm
telling you this is off the charts, but bum thank
you very much. I don't get paid for the humors though,
you know, you get what you get.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll be right back everybody.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, Brent Thomas here the Paranormal Portal Podcast. We
just wanted to take a moment to introduce you to
the Paranormal Portal Store. We've got T shirts, swooties, leggings, stickers, mugs,
you name it, you might find it over there. So
head on over to tspring dot com, slash stores, slash Paranormal,
dash Portal and YouTube can help fund the Paranormal Portal Podcast.
Thank you so much for all that you do, and
thank you for being a part of our Paranormal Portal family.
All right, everybody, welcome back, and we're going to continue
on our journey here into the haunted hospitals out there
and all across the nation and around the world. We've
had a bunch of amazing stories and really really freaky phenomena.
Speaker 6: Don when you have you know, things that happened, and
you can avoid those things by turning on a light
or turning on a radio, or turning on a TV,
you know, or something like that. In the in a hospital,
there's definitely something going on, and it's it's crazy to think,
you know how much like I just said, you know
all the energy that goes through places like that, so
you know, and being able to appease those spirits or
apparitions or whatever they are, you know, which is these
simple things and still can be congenial to them. You know,
it's really kind of an awesome thought.
Speaker 3: It is. I think it's cool. I mean, if you
can reach an understanding with the spirit and be peaceful
or in a peaceful situation, I think it's it's really cool.
But it's just hard to know if you can, and
it's hard to know what's the right move. Some of
them just seem to be want to be left alone.
They just don't want anything to do with the living.
But then there's other ones that just want to be acknowledged.
There's other ones that seem to you know, want want
some kind of interaction. So it's tough, but especially you
know the point that came up in that one story
where the guys in Iraq and it was just a
matter of leading leaving a light on and that created
a peaceful situation. Right, you know that's really powerful, I think.
Speaker 6: Absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 3: Well, let's continue on our journey, see what else we
turn up on this amazing run through the paranormal portal.
All right, this one is has two stories done. So
the first story is patient had been in the CCU
where I work at the time for a long period
of time, six months actually, and we had finally been
transferred to Med Surge floor. Sometimes these words are a
little awkward for me, being a non medical person, but
I imagine that makes sense to nurses and such. So
he was transferred to Medsurge floor and he coded. We
worked on him for forty five minutes to an hour,
and he had no pulse or heart rhythm. The entire time,
and the doctors had decided to call it and his
family walk into the room, leans over, rubs his chest lightly,
and says his name, and immediately he regains a pulse
and regains consciousness. Wow, that's really powerful. Now. The second
story is patient comes in coding and we're working on him.
We're actually getting nothing, so we bring in his wife
to say goodbye, and she starts yelling at him at
the top of her lungs, and he comes back. So
we arrange a transfer to a tertiary hospital and he
codes again. So she comes back and yells at him again,
and he comes back again. Cuts to there, loading him
into the helicopter, he codes again, so they bring him
back into our er after working on him for a
bit on the helipad, and his wife yells at him again,
and once again, he immediately comes back every time. Eventually,
they decided to have his wife ride in the helicopter
with him to make sure she can scare him back
to life if he were to code again the guy.
The guy ended up living and received a heart transplant
and is still alive to this day, all thanks to
his wife scaring that life back into him.
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, he's too scared to die. Is that
what it was? Or was it or was it the
more sweet thing? It's like, you know, he heard her
voice calling to him, whether you know, whatever the volume
level was on that, but yet wanted to return to her.
You know, so if you look at it either way,
but oh, my goodness, that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 3: I know. He's like, oh a nag, nag nag. Yeah,
you know, okay, pulse Pulse is the top one on
the honeydew list. Apparently, that's pretty crazy. She yelled at
him and came back. What an epic story though, that's cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The first one was the light touch and the sweet
words Boom, that guy came back. This guy this has
this really loud wife. He's terrified of her or something.
So this one, this one has to do with a
psych hospital.
Speaker 6: Don oh.
Speaker 3: And and those are those are really tragic places, I think,
because of course, these are these are tortured people. They're
they are tortured by uh, you know, whatever's out of
balance or whatever's not lined in there in their mind
or their psyche, and those are just really tough places.
And of course that's a real big hotspot as well
for paranormal investigatings is these defunct psych hospitals. There just
seems to be a lot of pain and suffering. And
of course, traditionally, care for the mentally ill was never
very never humane.
Speaker 6: Yeah humane yeah good Yeah.
Speaker 3: Never humane treatment historically, And so I guess it doesn't
surprise me that there's so much pain and potentially presence
is due to that. But let's see what this story
talks about, and it says I worked overnight security at
one of the largest, best and oldest hospitals in the US.
My fellow security officers and I all have stories about
one building in particular, but the one that I'll tell
is the one that happened to me. The backstory this
hospital was built in the late eighteen hundreds and it
was originally psychiatric building for this hospital. Now being the
late eighteen hundreds, not much was really known about psychiatric disorders.
On top of that, this hospital was known for its
medical research. With both of those facts combined, you can
infer that some terrible stuff was done to these misunderstood
psych patients in this building. A couple of years before
I started working security there, this building had been converted
into offices after a newly built part of the hospital
dedicated a section for the updated psych ward. My story
is my rounds for that night happened to include said building,
and that night, this building was empty due to recently
being converted into offices and the drones who work there
wanting to leave promptly at seventeen hundred, if not earlier.
In some of their haste, they left their office doors unlocked,
which is a big no no due to medical information
being located in their offices. It was our duty to
go to each floor and make sure every door was
locked and if it wasn't too secure, it ourselves. I
did my initial sweep of the building to make sure
it was clear nobody was in the building, and proceeded
to do my door checks. The hallways were pretty narrow,
so I could check both sides of the hallway doors
at one time, and at the end of this hallway
there are two sets of doors you had to go
through to reach the final office, which was a dead end.
Everything was secure, awesome time for the next floor. I
exited the two sets of doors from the dead end
office and stood absolutely frozen from what I saw. Every
door was ajar set perfectly, so their own weight couldn't
cause them to shut again, and one wheelchair at the
end of the said hallway facing towards the steps. I
had heard other security officers alright reject that set of
rounds due to strange stuff happening there, but I laughed
at it. I laughed it off until that night happened,
and never took those rounds again. My second story is
are the old children's I See You is currently under
construction to be turned into medical labs, so we have
to patrol the area once again to make sure the
area is secure, to report it to the contractor foreman,
and make sure they stayed to the plan for the
next day. When patrolling this area, several security officers have
reported seeing a single white male child around the age
of five to seven with short brown hair, think like
a nineties bowl cut. I personally dismissed this this was
before the site, before the psych ward incident, as a
tall tale told with the intent to scare me because
I was new at the time. I got that building's
patrol one night and a foreman who stayed late called
security and asked for a security officer to come up
because a kid locked himself in a room, and I
don't want him to get hurt with all the open
wires in there, or something to that effect. I unlocked
the door for him, locked in, looked in what could
be only be a ten by eight room for about
ten minutes. There was no kid, called it in as
a false alarm, and finished my patrol. The third story
says had a special detail, which is basically babysitting a
violent SYCH patients along with another security officer who woke
up in the middle of the night. Recognized the other
officer and said hello. He sees me and immediately starts
screaming at me not to hurt him. No, I'm a
rather large gentleman at six foot two and two hundred
and fifty pounds, but I try not to make myself
too intimidating around p SYCH patients as not to escalate
the situation. Well, he keeps screaming at me not to
hurt him, and he says if I promised not to,
he would make something good happen for me. I promise.
When he calms down and goes back to and I
really forget about it. The next day I got a
permanent set of rounds and a pretty good promotion easily
a coincidence, but interesting nonetheless. The fourth story is fellow
security officer had rounds in the aforementioned Psyche building, heard
a call on the radio and what could only be
described as dry throat terror voice for one officer for backup.
I was close, so I responded to this call, letting
him know I was on the way. When I got there,
he had his head between his knees and was silently
crying with a shattered chandelier a couple of feet next
to him. Now, before I had experienced the abnormal happenings
in this building, I would have written off his testimony
as idiocy, but he claimed that something held him in
that spot as the chandelier started swinging wildly until it
started to fall. When it started to fall, he was
let go and allowed to move and scram mumbled out
of the way before it hit him. Got up, calmed
him down, and took him back to the supervisor. She
yelled to one of our other supervisors, almost almost lost
another one, and the other supervisor laughed and said, why
do you think we send the new guys? Haha, you
don't even know, you know, I don't even like going
over there. I'm sorry, I read that bad. Let me
reread that part mark that please. The other supervisor laughed
and said, why do you think we send the new guys? Haha?
You know, I don't even like going over there. That
guy is my roommate and hates when I bring up
that experience.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 3: That's that's that's a whole bucket full of activity.
Speaker 6: That's a crazy building.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Esh Okay, now this one sounds good. It's a little
longer again, but I like these longer ones too, they
have a lot more background in them. So this one is.
I had cared for an elderly woman with no family
who came to us when her husband died. She didn't
speak often, but when she did, it was usually just
words that made not a lot of sense together. So
I felt so bad for her because ever since she
had arrived, so many of the residents in her area
that seemed to enjoy spending time with had passed in
such a short time span. She put up a picture
of each of them next to her pictures of her
husband and several others who were probably family to remember them.
I had always felt sorry for her and showed her
extra attention, and we became close. It just seemed so
unfair that she had such luck and kept losing people
that she cared about. One day, she looked at me
and said, plain as day, sweetie, I think I'm done
now and handed me a picture and it was a
picture of me, and I smiled because it touched my
heart that I was that important to her. She passed
nearly a week later, and I cried for days. It
hit me really hard. She knew it was the end
for her, and she said goodbye as best she could.
A little less than two years later, I was talking
with a colleague and she came up in conversation. My
colleague referred to her as that crazy woman, which seemed
really out of character for her, and it shocked and
offended me deeply. I expressed this to her, not so nicely,
and she looked at me with a shocked look and said, oh, dear,
do you not know, and then explained something to me
that I had not known. As it turned out, it
came out sometime after she had passed that she had
killed her husband by poisoning him, and that there was
an investigation because it appeared that she had a ritual
of befriending someone obtaining a picture of them and hiding
the picture until she could kill them, usually by poisoning,
and then displaying the picture as a sort of trophy.
It was suspected that this may have been the reason
for the spike immortality rate during her stay and the
considerable number of photos in her collection.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 3: The last I heard, the old family photos weren't any
relation to her, and the police were trying to id
the individuals and compare them to several cold cases. Wow,
so this person obviously avoided being eventually poisoned.
Speaker 6: Huh.
Speaker 3: Wow, that is really super.
Speaker 6: Creepy that that is, you know, and you know, I
would love to find out what the police, you know,
found during their investigation they indeed were able to connect
any of these photos to the deaths of poisoning death
or a mysterious death of that type to that lady.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really crazy, very very I'm a psychiatric nurse
and I worked in an acute care adult unit, but
was sent to work with the kids one evening shift.
It was after ten pm and all of our patients
were in their rooms in bed and I heard a
child screaming and a psych tech trying to calm him,
and I ran to the room. The seven year old
boy was hysterical. He was crying, sweating, and shaking, and
he said he saw something. After he finally settled down,
he told me that he saw a white man with
gray hair in a hospital gown in his room. While
we discussed what he saw, the child frozen, fear, tears
rolling down his face, and he said, miss there be still,
Oh my god, he's right behind you. We decided to
address the man and telling him that the little boy
was scared, and the boy said that. The man turned
around and left. After that, the only thing anyone in
the unit could would have heard was the boy screaming
at the beginning. All other discussion was in his room
and quiet. Not even three minutes later, a seventeen year
old male at the end of the hall started screaming.
I ran to his room. He was standing on his
bed trying to get away from a white man in
a hospital gown. So this really was there. Wow, that's
a that's a solid apparition.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, yeah, definitely a full manifestation.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, at least for these kids, for some reason,
they're able to see them, but apparently the adults were not. Wow,
that's that's hardcore. Ah, all right, so this one sounds
this one sounds like it should have been on our
other show, don apparently. Yeah, well, let me read it
and you can tell me. I have a couple of stories,
one from my mom and one from me. My mom's
is probably really the creepiest and is always really stuck
with me, especially with all the paranormal stuff she has seen.
My mom worked night shift at the hospital in Arizona
in a town by the border and go figure an
old mining town. Well, anyway, she's working her shift and
night going room to room when an old lady who
walked the hospital walls due to insomnia told her some
weird goat man kept trying to get in through the doors.
My mom didn't think anything of it, but she's Catholic
and had those moments of silently praying to herself. After
a few moments, there was a shriek. She couldn't explain
it but that it was a horrible shriek that made
your blood turn to ice. She then went to the
nurses station to ask if anyone else heard that, in
which they all did. Come to find that the shriek
was heard all around the hospital, freaking everyone out. Especially
paranormal religious ladies, normal religious ladies and men. Okay, a
few of them go to look out their windows and
see hoof marks by the doors and windows, and the
marks had no trail towards or away from the building. Wow,
now my story is really creepy. And I two am
a CNA and worked at a locked down dementia in
Alzheimer's unit at night. I had creepy moments, but this
one will always stick with me. I was finishing up
my binders when a light goes off in the hall,
so I took off, or so I took it and
punched in my coat in and went out. Since the
other CNA was busy with someone else, I go in
and ask if everything is okay. Sleepily, my little old
lady tells me there's a there's a darn woman who
keeps knocking on her window wanting to come in, and
that she really wants to go back to sleep. She
insists I go and let her in, and I'm thinking
to myself, oh no, this sounds all too familiar. I
reassure her peek out the window and nothing. Maybe she
was dreaming and really tired and mistook it as her roommate.
After that incident, I head back into my unit, sit,
eat a snack, chat with my head nurse, talk with
my usual insomniacs. Mind you, it's about three in the morning.
Now light goes off and in my unit, and also
this unit has no outbound lines at all. I head
down to her to her hall and ask if all
is okay, and my lady says she can't sleep. Someone
keeps banging on her window and she's scared. I pretty
much about poop myself at this point. I again reassure
my lady, thinking what just happened? And I tell my
nurse and she laughs and said this has been happening
for years. Great, that's great. At the end. Yeah, so those, uh,
those could be skin.
Speaker 6: Walker stories, don Yeah, you know it was especially how
the deer person and the and the hoofs. Yeah, definitely
the goat Yeah, the goats. Yeah, and those are always
I you know, I they're they're the scary ones. They
are the scary ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they really are creepy. Wow.
Speaker 6: I don't want to bump into one of those.
Speaker 3: I think that can be uh, you know, unanimous for
the paranormal portal. We vote, know, we don't want to
bump into goat people or any skinwalkers. Yeah, and pretty
much a lot of what we cover on the show.
Speaker 6: Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, just stay the hill way.
Speaker 3: So this is I'm a nurse and I've been working
night shifts at hospitals for over seven years now, and
I have quite a few stories. Came into work one
night and Jen, one of the other nurses, told me
and my other coworker Jay, the creepiest thing that happened
a few hours earlier. A patient had passed in one
of the rooms abruptly. The room was clear end and
was quick quickly occupied by another patient who also coded
and was pronounced dead, but was then resuscitated. Soon after
being admitted to his room, he complained to the nurse,
I can't be in here. This man won't stop looking
at me. He's really worried about his dog. His dog
doesn't know that he's dead. She then she had assumed
that he was seeing things, and said, oh, yeah, what
does he look like? Well, he described the deceased patient perfectly.
I could see the chills running down her spine as
she was telling us this story. Turns out the man
did have a dog as well. The new admit was
moved to another room. Jay said, well, I don't believe
in ghosts. Those aren't real. I want to see it tonight.
I'm going to prove provoke it so it can show itself.
Oh No, three Am rolls around and all three of
us are at the nursing station. Jay starts playing YouTube
videos of various puppy sounds, and soon after two lift
team guys come up and we forget what we're doing
and start another conversation, and suddenly we all hear it
except for Jay. A dog barks in the same room
loudly clear as ever. The lift team guys says, does
someone have a dog in here? Jen and I simultaneously
poop ourselves. That's awesome. Yeah, the worst thing you can do.
You don't provoke the spirits. Wow, you never disrespect the dead.
Speaker 6: That is. That's that's just not good. I mean, that is.
I can't even believe somebody would do that.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that's that's just so disrespectful.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's just asking for a whole whole lot of
Oh my gods.
Speaker 3: It is, so how about another one?
Speaker 6: Don sure? This sounds like we got time, all right?
Speaker 3: I think we do. We got a time for maybe
a couple more so, when I worked in a nursing home,
there was a elevator between the levels as well as
stairs at the far end. It was shaped like a
big U, with the nurses station on one tip of
the U and the residence spread out around the unit,
so hypothetically you could see all the exits and stop
any confusion confused residents. I was studying to be an
RN at the time, so I always did night shift.
And here's the thing, though, the elevator would randomly one
night go from the top floor to the bottom and
then about an hour later come back up to the
floor you were on. I don't think anything of it,
thinking it was just some kind of quirk in the
system or something. And that was the night. That was
the night, or that was until the night I saw her,
the lady in pink. I was at the nurses station
studying and looked up to see what looked like a
resident who had a sundowners in pink walking without her
walk to the elevator from her room on the other
end of the unit. So me, being a good nurse,
I ran to stop her falling or falling down the stairs.
But here's the thing. I get there and she's not there,
so I check her room and the sides of her
bed are up and she's unconscious. Then as I'm walking back,
I noticed the call button is lit up, the elevator opens,
the door closes, and the elevator moves. No one's in it.
I tell my coworkers the next morning, just me on
night shift, and they tell me it's the lady in pink.
They tell me they had this huge Samoan guy who
worked there two weeks doing nights until he saw the
lady in pink, and then he quit. So me, being
the big, strong masculine figure I was, I did the
only logical thing. I quit and got a job as
security in a high security psych facility. I prefer my
danger visible, Thank you very much. Wow, well there is that.
I mean, it does help if you can see it coming.
That's pretty wild, and it doesn't sound like it's overly dangerous.
I just think some people just don't even want to
be encountering any of this, Like just to even come
encounters with it is too much.
Speaker 6: That's how I like mine too.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not call my action three dimensional.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I need a little more mass. You got
to give me something here.
Speaker 3: You aren't physically challenged. Literally boom all right.
Speaker 6: Next one.
Speaker 3: My mom used to be an RN in a hospital
in a small western town and this hospital was connected
to a senior living home and at night the RN
over over. The rn over watched both sides of the building,
the hospital and the living home, and she was usually
the overnight RN and would have either one or two
CNAs working as well. And she has experienced this operation
about six or seven times during her ten year stint,
and everyone referred to him as the apparition as the
man in black. Each experience was identical except for the
location in the building. Frequently, throughout the night, she would
have to do her rounds checking vitals, etc. And would
have to walk around a corner from the nurses station
slash er towards the six beds in the hospital and
towards the senior home. She would see the apparition either
right after rounding the corner or right after walking out
of her room and walking to the next Outside of
the next room, she would see the same apparition. The
operition was of a person in a black old like
Old West type suit with worn black cowboy boots and
warn black cowboy had to match. The creepiest thing about
this man assuming is that his face was not very distinct.
She would describe it as though a man's face was
drawn with charge coal and slightly smeared, making it slightly
burred blurred. He was about six foot five inches tall
and would tower over her at five foot five inches,
But whenever she would see him, whether it's ten feet
or three feet away, he would stand there looking at
her and then turn and walk into the room he
was outside of. When she would walk into that room,
he would not be in any he would not be
any other person in there. That's how it's written, I'm
sorry or anything out of place. The first few times
scared her to a panic, but she slowly just went
on without letting it freak her out. But with this
man came some extra attention to the patient. The kicker
was that in about ninety percent of all of the
experiences seen by other r nds as well, the patient's
health would deteriorate in the next few days, and the
patient most often passed away shortly after. So whenever the
other the overnight RNs and saw the man in black,
extra precautions would be taken with that patient. Another weird
thing about the opperition is that it always seen by
just the RN. Not a single CNA has personally seen
the operition. My mom always said that he knew that
he knew who would be able to help the most
at the time, I, on the other hand, took it
as a completely opposite. I always thought that it was
almost to mock the RNs, because he would let them
know that something was going to happen, but they couldn't
do anything to stop it. Even though I am not
an RN to see him, it still creeps me out
every time I walk down the halls and she points
out where she has seen him. Wow, so yeah, maybe
it's another harbinger. Maybe he is trying to help, like,
hey again, might want to check this one out. It's
not looking good, you know, because I, you know, to
get kind of esoteric here. I think that you know,
of course, people that are you know, ill or or
having troubles, I'm sure their energy field fluctuates, and perhaps
for an apparition or a spiritual being that would be
just completely obvious, and he's trying to say, hey, this
one might need a hand, or he could be the
guy making it happen.
Speaker 6: You never know, you know, when when you described him,
you described him as it was the it was described
as a man in a black Western suit.
Speaker 3: Yes, like you know, consider like on the old Westerns,
like maybe the fancy gunslinger type, you know, they got
the black and Yeah.
Speaker 6: What I thought of though, was the it was the
black belt from like uh oh Amityville.
Speaker 3: I guess I don't remember the the the the the
the old bible thumper guy, you know, but he was
he was the.
Speaker 6: Forget it anyhow, meaning from Poltergeist too. Yes, that's what
I meant. I'm sorry, Yeah, no, I agree.
Speaker 3: I agree. That's a that would be an old Western
type of suit for sure. Yeah, but yeah, very cool.
But anyway, I think that's going to wrap up our
journey tonight. Don anything you got before we go.
Speaker 6: No, just thank you very much, and it's uh, you know,
