The Hospital Haunt

Nurse Ivy James had a bizarre encounter with the ghost of one of the hospital's old nurses one night. Ivy had gone upstairs to fetch a bed-pan for a patient from the sluice room, but as she took one off the shelf, a hand shot out and grabbed it back. That hand belonged to a nurse dressed in what looked like a late Victorian nurse's uniform.

For a ghost she was surprisingly too strong, and as Ivy yanked the bed-pan away from her again, the phantom nurse pulled it back. It developed into quite a tug of war. "If anyone had come into the sluice then, they would have had the fright of their lives to see a bed pan floating through the air like that," laughed Ivy.

The experience repeated itself around the hospital subsequently and the hospital authorities resorted to relocating the hospital down town. The haunt even became more terrific upon the relocation to the new site; the ghost nurse graduated from dragging bed pans to dragging pharmaceutical drugs from patient's within the hospital premises. Till date, solutions are still being sort for this horrible haunting trail.
