Haunted Hospital
Posted in Ghost Stories by admin on 30, Jan 2009
In the news today is the Royal Hospital in Derby, England, who are having to call in an exorcist due a ‘cloaked figure’ reportedly haunting the place.
The hospital’s senior manager, Debbie Butler, wrote in an e-mail to staff: “I’m not sure how many of you are aware that some members of staff have reported seeing a ghost.
“I’m taking it seriously as the last thing I want is staff feeling uneasy at work.”
She added: “I don’t want to scare anyone any more than necessary, but felt it was best I made you all aware of the situation and what we are doing about it.
“I’ve spoken to the Trust’s chaplain and she is going to arrange for someone from the cathedral to exorcise the department.”
An un-named source reportedly told The Sun newspaper: “There have been dozens of sightings over recent weeks and people are scared witless.
“Several have seen a male figure cloaked from head to toe in black darting between rooms and through walls – especially in departments near the morgue.
“It’s affected morale so much that bosses decided they had to act.”
The paper reports that ‘experts’ say the ghost could be that of a Roman soldier, as back in the 1920s, the original hospital was built over a Roman road.
Sadly, there are no photos of the ghost.
Update: A spokeswoman for the hospital said: “There is no truth in reports that an exorcism has been arranged.”
