Creepy Things That Have Happened to You

[Gayandgray]

This happened the other night at work! I walked into a patient's room, bed A was empty because the lady went home and bed B was empty because the lady had been sent out 911 before my shift started. I went in to close the blinds and pull the curtains since it was dark outside. Well just as I got to the window, the door slammed shut and the whole room turned cold as ice. I said "what the hell????" and went and opened the door. Of course nobody was around. They say the nursing home I work at is haunted, and lots of people, staff, patients, family, has seen or heard things. So later the supervisor told me the patient who went out was admited to the hospital, and I went in the room to turn the light out. A coworker was standing in the doorway while I went in the room and turned off the light, and as we turned away from the room to go down the hall, we both heard someone in the room laughing. We looked at each other and said who was that?! My coworker went back in and put the lights on and I looked in the bathroom but nobody was there.

I'm really glad I don't work nights. I can only imagine how many spirits are in my facility. Its been around since the late 60s

One day when i was driving home from work, i saw an old friend of mine, "G"..

G was a bodybuilder in his younger days and even though he was now in his 50's and gray, he looked amazing, but his health was not so good.

i saw G jogging down my street, which was SO odd because he lived in a nearby town, and his hair was now brown, not gray, and he looked young and vibrant. When i passed him i looked at him with confusion, and he looked at me and smiled, like "hey, dee".....

i went home and told my partner about the craziness of seeing my old friend, jogging, and how bizarre it was to see him in our neighborhood.

Well not long after that , my phone rang, it was a call to tell me that G had passed away the night before of a heart attack.

i definitely saw G that day, a day after he passed away.

It initially didn't occur to me that posting this would be worthy of doing. Just was a known situation in the ICU in which I worked several years back, but saw this thread while bored and this similar post.

This was a very busy ICU with a continuous flow of patients in and out by various means (mainly transfer to lower level care or death). On several nights when having the rare empty bed, we would see a heart rhythm on the monitor. When first experiencing this, I checked the central desk monitor then went to the bedside monitor to check for malfunction. No cause for this was ever discovered. It would happen periodically and I mentioned it to other nurses who shared that they had seen it happen before. It didn't occur on the same monitor each time, and it was a different rate and rhythm each time. We just accepted it as fact that since we had many deaths in our unit, it was probably inhabited by several spirits and remnants. None of these potential spirits had done anything negative to the staff. The only thing I felt could have been attributed to an unseen force, was a calm that would come into a room often where we were having a code blue. It felt like something took away the acute adrenaline response in the staff allowing them to function more effectively.
