something insert funny sound here like [Music] [Music] they're like there's something like that is that you
just made it pretty close to that I'm pretty sure I don't know though maybe this is just
confirmation bias and I'm like yeah totally that's what I think that's what it is it's like a what he said thing
yeah he says it I'm like that sounds right I like that he does that with a lot of confidence and then you believe
him that's what it is but he's got the entire internet fooled absolutely and I immediately was one of those
people as soon as I came across your video on Tick Tock I was like I believe everything you say him yeah not me no I
never nobody believes me but I'm actually the one who speaks all the troops but No One Believes but know what
everyone's like is saying yeah once that sound was brought to you by Google there you go that's not
I know that's the wrong instrument that is different because those are more but he said it was so you believed him I did

[Music] you could find me on Spotify no you can find me on Spotify well someone had to
say it because Sheena Is multi-talented not only hilarious and a beautiful luna moth but I still don't get that but I
love it I've decided to call Sheena a beautiful luna moth because it really is a very interesting looking
creature they're unique yes they're they're pretty they're delicate I feel like they sparkle without actually
sparkling which is like you like you're not fully made out of glitter but I feel like you
are glittery should I just come back and pick her up in an hour you also Ash where are you
but that's my skincare routine yeah but you're like actually fully glitter yes because I think you're right today
because I have an emoji he's an actual I always look right now it's an emoji disk of volume why are you
glowing today what you probably are it's my aura it's your aura it's not a special person yes give the pregnancy I
am yeah I actually um rubbed a pregnant woman's tummy this morning that'll do it yeah that'll do it
if she doesn't punch you in the face it was uh she was asking for that oh good okay yeah why do people do that I never
liked when people no me neither they just come up and they touch your stomach and they're like oh can I touch you
you're already touching me you're already here so I don't know what to do here when I was pregnant with the twins
I was so gigantic that everyone felt like they really had like license to do that with both hands yeah and license to
be like oh are you like ready to pop and I was like no I'm only five months pregnant thank you for asking them oh
that's fine you should rub people's heads yeah pregnant women out there you are allowed to rub the person rubbing
you right back like bald heads if they're bald double points but you just rub their head whatever
why are you rubbing my head why are you rubbing my stomach yeah it's a valid question the best thing would be like
why are you rubbing my stomach I'm not pregnant yeah that oh that is yeah what are you doing because that will be
something they think about in their final hours they will be like [Music] that's the way to ruin someone that
really is that's why I come on the show that is we get to talk about how to rub people the wrong way
life ruining moments yes [Laughter] you know what we should talk about a little bit
um dick or your favorite place we're going to Disney I heard your raving review I
booked immediately it's a magical place on Earth as far as I'm concerned I mean I actually wanted to ask if you wanted
to come with us yeah you know what I do I need to do a redo because that was not
a not a great experience I think I heard you did more laundry in Disney than you
have in your own house in a month yeah at one point we broke the the dryer come on but not in a good way in the middle
of the in the middle of the night whenever is it a good way that you would break a diet please it's not filled with
vomit yeah that is better than anything is better than how they broke it that's definitely not I'm going to keep it
clean on this show because I know they yeah this is a G-rated show please yourself you know nothing they only talk
about Disneyland that's all that's what this podcast is it's just a Disney podcast they're your official sponsor
Yeah official sponsor Disney I'm wearing ears right now it's amazing but I also have that like I really
appreciated what you were saying about like just seeing Disney through your kid's eyes yes and I think that's a
whole different thing it is it really when Yuko as a parent you kind of put all your own stuff aside and you just go
and you love it yeah because you see the world through your children's oh yeah and even when you're like sweating and
there's a million people slamming into you and it smells weird and you're like why am I here I hate that everything's
pastel it's like it's bearing down on me and then like we went into the little bippity boppity Boutique and the girls
were just like blown away that they got to go into Cinderella's castle to get their hair
done I was like all right this is all right yeah like immediately I was like this is great you know what makes me
happy that all of those moments they enjoy being princesses comes from John yes that makes me happy
from you I don't know where again John John loves it too he was like fully invested where

evacuated the building yeah they left Morticia in their place to talk about this

John is like absolutely determined to do Disney like where you like it yeah he was like we're gonna make this one
October yeah there you go there'll be some spooky Disney for sure I did do the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and
there's a big drop and I was proud of myself so did my three-year-old like four seconds it was like it was a
good drop at the end of it I was like because Drew told us you know he was he's been there like a million times so
Drew is our like unofficial tour guide and would tell us if certain rides were okay for the kids or if you know this
one has a drop I don't know if you'll like it and that one he was like there is a drop but it's really small and you
can handle it drop I looked back at him and I was like you son of a [ __ ] that was a big drop he was like it really
wasn't that really wasn't in the official Disney photo she's looking back the kids are all smiling everyone else
is like yeah they're booster seats would they admit on said right I thought it was great
amazing so we will go and recreate all these pastel memories yeah in two weeks two weeks pastel wonder I love love it
it's just parenting in a different space in in like a magical land yeah with bracelets with no sleep with lots with
bracelets translate to money I heard there were giraffes that like Rome they there they just like come right up so

that's fine just being here more sheets please definitely more sheets in this one we'll
take all the sheets preferably dark oh yeah oh they're all white sheets let me tell you all of them are white but not
after my family was there you know what you would have enjoyed if you would have
found a tunnel that took you to the Disney underworld yes to show you how all this world would have been you would
have enjoyed it you would have seen like stains on the wall and people running screaming yeah hey where the hell is
that Cinderella she's due in this Castle in four minutes and then you see some high school girl running
no where they walk up where they run up they still [Music] be part of that world just embrace it
where did that come from here real quick what just happened somehow swam out with
no water I don't even know what just happened that was a real special treat Disney truck you know I wanted to be a
Disney princess not not Jasmine not just the red-headed area why would I be might be Jasmine
when you can be Ariel why I want to be a ginger I feel that who doesn't want to be a ginger I'm saying I'm just saying I
promise people it was gonna get weird in here it's gonna get weird all right let's do it okay now that you've got it
all bubbly with her Disney songs tell her what we're gonna be talking about you know she will not watch yeah a
horror movie she will not watch yeah anything but she comes here I love it you know what's that the they made like
a joke like a SM a spook off of like scream oh yeah scary movie yeah I won't even watch that and those are hilarious
I know but I won't watch it all right tell us a story all right so listen or tail time and this one is a um themed
episode and Deb Deb has found haunted hospitals why because hospitals are just fun places otherwise they're not sad
enough and scary yeah it's all the sadness where do you think ghosts go to heal to heal they need hospitals too yeah
there you go it's true hospitals are spooky take it from someone who worked in a Morgan a
hospital overnight many times it's a creepy Place why is that not surprising to me yeah
a morgue you know what's funny too all the nurses would come down when they would have to come down they hated
coming down to the morgue and they would come down in the middle of the night and
every single time they don't always go are you just alone down here and I was like yeah and they'd be like are you
okay and I was like yeah I'm fine and they're like I couldn't do that and they just leave like they were just like
you're horrifying I have to go like all of them they're just feeling horrifying every time anyone listening surprise
except for all these people for me the morgue is like underneath Disney yeah it's essentially that and
then you're happy about it yeah it was great it was very like quiet and peaceful in there yeah you know just
talk to people they're dead yeah they can't talk back to you it's great yeah only once in a while my favorite kind of
interaction is just like I can just sit there and talk and no no Small Talk we're good
the only problem with the morgue in the middle of the night is if you do get a weird like visual in your head like we
had one that was like a pretty gnarly one and so it kind of like shook me for a second when they came in and I was
sitting in the office and I just kept thinking about what if they just stood up and walked in here and then I kept
getting this weird vision of them just standing up and walking in in a body bag into the office oh my God that wasn't
great that would be exactly what I'd need to run for the hills yeah that was not great never come back so I just kept
having to go in there and peek I mean like oh he hasn't moved yeah is that why they put locks on those
freezers yeah in case they try to get up and come out they can't come out yeah which sometimes this is little known but
sometimes they're like just lock them in there yeah we don't we don't want to we're not sure because
they get up sometimes well let's just throw them can we move on they like sometimes like zombies are real we're
going to haunted hospitals I should put them in the freezer I'm never going down to a morgue ever it's a
it's a place yeah it's got a Vibe it's got a smell they should put it right on the top
floor it has a smell too yeah and it's not like a dead body smell but it's like got a very like chemical like mothballs
yeah there's a lot of like different preservatives preservatives the same things that they put sweet and you will
get a different kind of smell that's for sure but if you're in there you should have
your face covered I wish you guys could see my face yeah she's smiling she's like I just want to
know that she's just eating hummus sandwich yeah it's fine all right so my first one I'll do is called pediatric
nurse gets more than she bargained for I don't love ghost kids so this is gonna be uh challenging
but this one says yeah I don't love a ghost kid why because one like they're always giggling oh my God she's weird
yeah or like doing some or singing I don't love like a singing child ghost that's not really my company you should
be a equal opportunity goes live I am like I'm not gonna turn you away yeah but like you're not gonna be my favorite
you're not going to be employee of the month over here right right ghost the singing is always like creepy and
attitude and yeah that's what it is it's always Out Of Tune it's Out Of Tune that's the issue it's very stressful
very unprofessional is this what it is if the Dead kid could just sing properly it'd be fine and also if it's a kid
ghost you're like you died I know it's like that's a kid that died yeah so yeah so pediatric nurse gets more than she
bargained for and back to dead kids it says hey Elena Ash and Deb Deb my name is Heather yes you can use my name if by
some miracle this makes it onto the Pod miracles happen I have it yes it's on the Pod but not for the children we're
about to and I would like to start off by saying thank you for taking the time out of
your day to read the submission even though I am sure you have a billion and seven others to read you're amazing you
really are and you stood out Heather I can say your name yet I can so you guys are absolutely amazing and I don't think
I would survive my hour-long drive to work every day without this podcast you guys are pure entertainment and I wish I
could be your guy's BFF because you're dope as [ __ ] we are BFFs and you are also dope as [ __ ] Heather yes and Ash
would agree absolutely she would say you want to build this book I agree on her behalf I have a broad scene today but
you feel it yeah I feel it in my soul and you exude it yes I feel dope you guys have made me cry with laughter so
many times all while talking about murder and that takes some real talent anyway I'm going really it's a skill you
know you got to make fun of the murderer that's what I'm saying anyways I'm gonna
get into my Supernatural experience before my ADHD takes over and I end up gushing over you guys for 20 pages I
love you Heather so I am currently a pediatric nurse which means you're a superhero yeah so I agree thanks for
being that for you love a pediatric nurse love them they saved one of my twins lives so I always love a pediatric
nurse they really are the true heroes amazing like Ami literal superheroes the doctors I mean they're awesome also they
come in they sleep with the Pediatric nurses are the ones that are there through the night holding the hair back
exactly they're always bringing the extra toys in and the extra little things that you need so for some
background information on how my final semester went most of my days were spent at a hospital assigned to an to a nurse
that already worked there and learning from her how to be the best nurse I can be shout out to you Alyssa for making my
final semester the best semester ever shout out to Alyssa Alyssa you rock you are the MVP P.S I asked and you can say
her name too good because I said it before looking at it I would have had to bleep that out I mean her name is hell
yeah Alyssa originally I asked my school if I could be assigned to a neonatal Intensive Care Unit
at one of the hospitals in my city because I already had a job lined up there for after I graduated
unfortunately due to covid that unit wasn't taking students and my 3.4 GPA wasn't good enough to go to the
Children's Hospital in the city this meant I got stuck at a hospital I had never been to and had to work on a floor
that only saw adults that sucks I'm going to try to continue this story with giving as much detail as I can
without violating HIPAA I appreciate it yeah I know that's a good thing I do appreciate it at one point towards the
end of my semester I was doing well enough that the nurse who oversaw me would let me go into patients rooms
alone to do certain things my first patient was in his mid-30s and was completely with it mentally while I was
getting his vitals I tried to make us make small talk one of the first questions I asked was how did you sleep
last night the man proceeded to tell me that's he slept fine except for around midnight when a group of children went
running through the halls and peeking into every room once in a while And So It Begins he then said that once the
quote unquote older nurse got the children to behave he was able to go to sleep I immediately froze when he told me this
for two reasons well can I guess can I get what are the reasons there are no children in that hospital
one two there's no older nurse ding ding dings one at this time I should be writing
these stories like I knew it at this time covid rates were still high so children were not allowed oh my God and
two all the nurses from the night before were under 40 years old so there was no
older nurse working there yep thank you literally melting I can't I told the man all of this and he looked
at me completely confused he then went on to tell me that there were definitely kids running in the Halls the previous
night and that the quote girl with the blue sweater was the one who was going in and out of the room the most the one
with the long hair comb that Brad's hair yep and she had a British accent and she was the Ghost of
Christmas oh my God I continued to just just stare at the man like the awkward Turtle I am and said okay cool before
leaving to go find my nurse she's just like rad all right now thumbs up for you awesome sorry about that won't happen
again can't guarantee that will happen tonight did we double his medication last night let's make him sleep I
immediately told her what the man said to me and she then proceeded to say oh yeah patients here see kids running down
the Halls all the time at night what and then she said this makes sense considering this was a pediatric floor
when the hospital first opened oh so they're just a bunch of dead kids yes even though this wasn't the same at the
time I definitely [ __ ] my dick at this moment that's an unfortunate she's like wasn't a saying back then but
I felt it in my bones is it a saying now Heather just made it up it is I heard it
on Tick Tock there's a tick tock sound that says are you [ __ ] my dick and it's actually side effects are you
on I'm not on that side she has the most random Tick Tock algorithm her feed I'd be curious to
spend the day on her feet is a wild place to be I love it I love it yeah just mine's like a very spooky it has
spooky stuff but it also has like lots of like parent humeral random machine video pops up and one random Sheena
you fly in there all the time yeah just spooky parent puppies that's basically it's more like hers is hers is like her
like her her music algorithm would be insane too she listens to literally everything under the sun and that is who
she is right there's just no Rhyme or Reason she's Gemini I love it you know multiple people around all those Souls
who are we getting together you know I love it all right not knowing what else to do or say I moved on to my next
patient this was an older woman who had been there for a while and I've had many
conversations with mostly about her adorable cat and dog because I could talk for hours about someone's pets with
them same she greeted me with a good morning darling to which I responded with a good morning and asked her to
FaceTime with her cat and talk with the with how her face time went with her cat
and dog the previous night oh she didn't ask I didn't know she was next time how
did it how did it go last night hanging out on FaceTime with your cotton dog I love that she did that I love it
um where am I she said it went fine but that the children were running in the hall got too distracting at once oh boy
with the children again once again I [ __ ] my dick there she goes I then proceeded to ask her if she remembered
what the Children looked like to which she responded that the one child who kept going in and out of the room was a
little sweater wearing a cardigan the same color as my scrub pants my scrub pants were blue oh well they were before
she they were spoiled them yes I honestly can't tell you how the rest of my day went because I was too paranoid
looking over my shoulder worrying that ghost children were following me in and out of rooms also from then on anytime I
worked a night shift I would try to tell the ghost children to behave and not keep the patients up that night that's
night of nice of you that is very nice working there she kept working there of course yeah
um I would not last more than not even one day but one minute after that I would love it I would have left I just
feel like guys I'm here come on I would have found my replacement because I'm you could have sang to them to the ghost
children yeah why not you'd get that tiger your resignation to them yes yeah like sorry I have sorry kids yes gotta
go peace gotta go you freaked me out yep it says I probably looked like a freaking weirdo talking to nothing but
like you guys always say it's good to keep things weird but not so weird that ghost children go in and out of people's
hotel rooms keeping them up at night because to be honest that's a little rude that is a little rude
let them sleep the fact that two patients said the exact same back to back yeah it's like that's not just one
guy being like yeah I had weird Visual and auditory hallucinations yes scary as maybe on I'm on weird meds no that is
terrifying that's the weird meds were being served to everybody in that Ward that night yeah and they all had the
same symptoms yes they were messing with her that's how that's what I would do if
I was like oh you think it's like a hate I for sure would do that if I were in a
hospital I'd just call my friend Bertha next door because all old ladies with dogs and cats that they FaceTime were
called Bertha and I'd say hey Bertha blue cardigan today got it do it okay the new girl's coming let's
go with the blue cardigan noise that would be a really good hazing to weed out the week yeah you know like you're
like you're not gonna handle us like you probably like there's gonna be a lot worse on here so like if you can't
handle the ghost children like this probably is they would have scared you yeah I I see what I need to see and I can
leave I'm all done here yeah I'm good so if you're listening to this from a hospital Ward
talk to all your roommates and come up with a story to scare the crap out of the niceness yes you guys need it worse
get the best of the best survival of the fittest this is so good I'm gonna do that it's gotta be somebody's at a
hospital start the story tell everybody that children were running the Halls at night
and see what happens when the interns come tomorrow there you go you're cut out to be a pediatric dinner so you can
put it off with that ghost children or a lot of children thanks Heather thanks Heather you're the best

how did you decide to go with that that's how we wrote it good day my morbid mates okay yep if you can't tell
I'm Australian oh hell yeah I can but I just can't do the accent we love an Australian but this Australian fan is a
huge fan contrary to popular belief we don't always say good day mate it's more like an old school white dad who dances
really awkwardly at a barbecue kind of thing to say that makes sense that doesn't make sense like my dad said
he's saying good day mate for the rest of the day yes and dancing that's always a yes if Ash
if Ash was here she would use her Australian accent and the one word that she knows how to do it she always says
Gnar oh yes yes no no no well have I got a weird story for you here we go I love it
say r and r r now oh no there you go there you go that's my gift to you today you know what I learned I did like a
Australian accent let's give it a minute for everyone we'll give you 10 seconds now in your cars in your homes wherever
you are everyone on three one two three RNR you got it you're all experts a gift to you today is how to show
sympathy if you're in Australia yeah you know what I looked up all the like the different ways to say things like with
the Australian accent because when we did like Australian Madness I think we did an episode that was just like crazy
Australian stuff and I got good at it but I lost it how I have to get good at it six years ago again we have to
practice I probably got self-conscious about it I'm super self-conscious I'll have to get back on it okay I want to
get that in a Scottish accent I want to do really good because I can only say donkey and that's that's all I got
that's an ass yeah that's a mess in case you were wondering you were wondering donkey
but yeah go on all right let's continue anyway you see I spent a lot of time in a
hospital as a child I was born with cystic fibrosis it's a genetic lung and digestive system condition it sucks yet
I am pretty healthy these days and have had a very successful lung transplant nine years whoa I know and when I was
nine years ago when I was 23 and the liver transplant 18 years ago when I was 14 years old now I'm 32 and
doing well this is amazing you know you don't realize that we're like Legos yeah
with medicine just drop out this piece yeah take this on and put this one in and just put it back in and it's fine
like that's why that is Liverpool go sign all your what is it your license yeah if you're dead why you need to keep
the parts let a guy like this get the part so he can keep living gotten a little hard on my license yes and all
the hate my way for people want to take their organs but I think that's ridiculous take it I'm literally
what did you do with it when you were in the basement in the hospital someone else can you
can use at least that way they won't come after you exactly listen to my friend Lego man sign your
organ donor yeah do it in 2007 okay so this was when she was in the hospital in 2007 when she was 17. okay I got to know
a lot of my nurses at the kids hospital over the years pretty well some would let me hang out behind the desk on night
shift if I couldn't sleep because hospital beds suck yeah they do they truly do so one night I was hanging out
with the nurses it had been a pretty sad day on the ward unfortunately I experienced a friend passing away while
I was in the hospital oh that's really sad that is sad it would rarely happen yet my friend had passed away in the ICU
that morning after she was transferred there from the Ward she also had oh she also had cystic
fibrosis let's call her Kate for the story to protect her identity Kate was waiting for a double lung and
liver transplant we were good friends and she was just too sick and didn't make it in time for her transplant to
come oh that's so sad that is really sad see organ donors yep I encourage everyone listening to sign
upsider foundation for organ donation there you go it's not like the black market organ donation which is illegal
and unethical exactly that's some education for another time though Kate was strong funny never afraid of
anything and would teach me things I never knew about anything and everything she was wise Beyond her years and I
honestly believe she was here to teach people she passed at the age of 15. and around two weeks before her 16th
birthday oh Gemma that's really so sorry Kate I know when she was put into the ICU after
being stabilized in surgery and not back on the ward oh before her 16th birthday all her
things were left in her room on the ward and she had already been in the hospital
for weeks she was not too sick to go home and she was too sick to go home until the transplant came unfortunately
it wasn't meant to be and a donor could not be matched in time I hate that that's really sad
so there I was hanging out with the nurses behind the desk one night late around 3 A.M
they let cystic fibrosis patients hang out behind the desk occasionally if we couldn't sleep Etc back in 2007. these
days there were not a lot of these days there were not a lot of rules with CF patients and cross-infection unlike in
the movie five feet apart there is some truth to that movie yet I can't stand that movie though I mean who the hell
goes ice skating on a lake in the middle of the night when waiting for a lung transplant I can barely shower myself or
walk three meters let alone do that that would be really frustrating to watch while you're going through it and you're
like yeah no that doesn't work thank you for that right beautiful back to my story my nurse and I were chatting away
about random things surfing the web looking up silly sites like funnyjunk.com who remembers that funny
jokes funnyjunk.com I'm not even sure if it's still a website it was like a website of funny photos before memes
were a huge thing I love that me too we should go look it up after this funnyjunk.com
the aircon in the hospital was getting maintenance work done I promise this is important later so the aircon wasn't
working for a few hours that night all of a sudden from Kate's empty room as she had been transferred to the ICU
slowly bopping out was a balloon it was a get well foil balloon with the ribbon still attached to it which we
both knew was tied at the other end to her bed her room was right near the nurses
station as she was one of the more critical patients and needed a lot of care my nurse and I were talking and
mid-sentence looked at the balloon then looked at each other then looked back at
the balloon we looked at each other again and just whispered what what the actual stuff there was no draft no
air to push this balloon bopping along the hallway at us remember how I said there was no aircon that night and it
was tied down at the end of her bed the balloon had pink and red colors if it was only red in color I probably
would have yeeded myself into an early discharge home thinking it the clown was now on yeah I was gonna say Pennywise is
coming through yeah so as I have been in and out of the hospital with my CF most
of my childhood over the years I found out where the morgue was it was down the large hallway and into the diagnostic
services part of the hospital now this hallway just happened to be near the teenager's Ward oh this story is getting
a little bit scary a little scary my nurses and I stood up by now it had bopped right up close to the desk
covering super creepy we were both gobsmacked that's a good word that is a good word all of a sudden it turned
towards the ward main doors and floats out as there were two other nurses in the
drug room my nurse quickly told them um we'll be back in one second we both decided to follow this balloon that had
us gobs back I laughed out now it was out of the ward and yep still bopping down that hallway oh oh that's
spooky and they were actually following said oh yes yeah she wants back in I would follow the hell out of the plume
you would too yeah I need to know where it's going okay my nurse and I were half
laughing and I said why do I feel so cold oh we both had goosebumps now remember the aircon wasn't working the
balloon had reached the next hallway away from the hall to the ward towards the hallway past the elevator so the
diagnostic section of the hospital which is ding ding ding you're home nothing could have been
making this thing move the way that it did yup it was still floating and this time at more of a speed and we were both
so cold there's a ghost a foot okay there's a ghost afoot Kate let me tell you I know it is I'm sorry to tell you
ghost makes you colds you okay my nurse asked yeah fine I just I was kind of stunned and pointed to the
balloon we watched the balloon it went down the hallway and we both gasped it turned a new Corner straight to the
hallways that led to the diagnostic services where the mortuary was we both screamed as we had the same
thought Kate she wants her balloon oh my God you're a surprise but I wasn't thinking of her wanting her
balloon well I thought she was just I thought she was just like a meeting right but now I'm like oh my God she
wants her balloon maybe it was her and she was just walking with her because she was going to be turning 16. it's
like her birthday so she's like I want my balloon we suddenly realized what had happened and ran back to the ward
laughing what yeah we saw something really bizarre yeah wait they didn't complete the journey did not complete
the journey they just laughed why didn't they take the balloon because I think there was something and took it herself
did they make it all the way maybe we'll get this Katie will take it hey Katie you got it from here
yeah peace out the next night my nurse was on again and Kate's mom still exhausted from the day before now
grieving had come to the ward to pack up cage things from her room my nurse called Louise the way was helping pack
up her belongings to go home I felt like I had to tell her about the balloon me and Kate's mom were close when I told
her she was tearing up and smiled that is just so so funny is it though yeah isn't it why she definitely was playing
a trick on you and Louise my nurse I guess it was her way of saying hello she always said to me she will say hi in
a creative way to her friends and nurses oh I love that like as spooky as it is you're like
that's just a balloon right you know like we all laughed Kate had been has been gone a long time since 2007 yet she
always yet she's always in my thoughts cystic fibrosis isn't cured yet and I hope one day it will be treatment has
improved yet we have a long way to go I encourage everyone to donate to cystic fibrosis Charities and research yes yes
we'll link some in our show notes oh that's nice that's really sweet I'm still in contact with Kate's family and
my old nurse Louise we never went down the diagnostic service building as you needed an electronic pass to get to
certain areas not everybody could get into the Morgan but the balloon pass balloon get past hey you know
paranormal stuff they always have a pass they have all the electronics however they want you know yeah love the podcast
fast keep it weird but not so weird that your friend passes away and haunts you with a balloon that it's somehow untied
from her bed and goes down the hallway at 3am just to Spook the bejesus out of you and it's 3 A.M too it's the witch
it's always 3 A.M that's the watching an hour three a.m that's when all the weird
[ __ ] happens that's why I don't get out of my bed yeah that's what my youngest
used to see skeletal skeletons yeah she was just like a skeleton 3am just hanging out 3 A.M
you may use my name so this won't be beep the whole episode will not be beeped out I love it and you
know what that was like a sweet one what [Music] just a note to all my friends if you die
and you're a ghost please don't leave me alone the minute you stop breathing you mean
nothing to us follow the light go you can send me no don't send anything I know I'll see you
in the messages in the form of like a nice book showing up at my door there you go oh you want that one Amazon maybe
they have to go get a subscription to continue to show your love don't freak me out with a balloon just show up
in her mirror at 3am that's the kindest way to do it when I was younger I heard stories of Bloody Mary I never actually
saw any movies or anything Bloody Mary used to scare the [ __ ] out but I would go to the bathroom in the middle
of the night I would close my eyes as I washed my hands why don't we create a morbid mirror that you can sell to
people so they can put in the guest bathrooms of their homes oh my gosh so it's bloody mary no so only in the
morning yeah children that children's faces just pop up and the giggling noise just like the high
don't forget to wash your hands oh my God that was only at 3am like three to four a.m only if it's dark if they turn
the light on it doesn't work but only in the dark that happens that would be so good yeah that's a
great product that's how you TM things right you just say yeah I think that's how that's brilliant idea
Tia no one can take that now yeah we'll sue you that's great yeah that's how that works that podcast I like this idea
so that's a good idea I think that's a great idea but then you have to clean up the bathroom after like that should be
the thing can you do that let's get that going Mikey let's let's get that rolling
yeah let's scare the [ __ ] out of your mirror I think this one is gonna be let's see uh I think this will be a good
one okay I'm not really sure they're all good ones it's called a haunted hospital
in an Uninvited passenger passenger haunted hospitals I'm a little scared by this one okay I'm
quickly scanning to see if I can use the name oh yeah we can use the name we can
use the name excellent I love when people tell us that are you two ready I'm ready I'm ready this one's called a
haunted hospital and an Uninvited passenger what's up [ __ ] I mean in the high five fist bump finger
poke kind of ways yeah what's a finger poke you might say when my nephews were Wee Ones we taught them to high five and
then fist bump my youngest nephew then stuck his fingers straight out like E.T and we did the finger poke his words
okay can you guys let's see if you learn that takes a lot of like there you go Focus yeah it really does you have to
like just if you guys could see what I'm seeing now we'll put it we'll put it online grown people trying to touch
fingers it takes a lot of focus it does it's good I feel purposeful right now this has since become a thing with all
our little ones in our lives it's the cutest damn thing ever not here it isn't this
I don't name which is Casey by the way I'm a new listener and was introduced to your podcast in an interesting manner oh
oh good for you Casey this is not the podcast you are introduced to I love it we are at my uncle's burial and my very
large very redneck family all met up at the closest bar to celebrate with bar food and lots of drinks I love that that
sounds great that sounds like the way to do it that's what you got to do as we were sitting around tables shooting the
[ __ ] my aunt Susie asked me out of the blue what is a you like this pedophile oh no my sister it's what you call oh
come on this is your word okay there's no filing too yeah my sister and I in you know what Unison say a pedo what
she laughs and says what do you listen to podcasts I've been listening to this one called morbid and they keep
referring to something called a pedophile oh my God so of course my sister and I jump on Google to our into
our dismay find nothing except a reference to you know what I was thinking pedophiles yeah yeah my aunt
Susie who by the way is a badass [ __ ] hell yeah with the biggest heart in the whole world says that doesn't really
seem right you need to listen to this podcast yeah you love all that go stuff and I thought of you as soon as I heard
it I downloaded a couple of episodes and proceeded to laugh when I discovered a pedophile is your word for a PDF file
I'm obsessed with that is the way she got into it I love it nothing to do with scary stories
and Susie saying what the hell is a pedophile I love it I love it much like us in the nursing world who refer to an
EKG as an my aunt got a good giggle out of this as well I also realized I just found my new
obsession your podcast hey Casey you're my new [ __ ] are the best you are Casey I
don't just call anyone [ __ ] in a good way so you should take that as a compliment Casey reserves it and for
just demeaning people I also I bad parking I'm telling you like a [ __ ] in a happy way then like you that's like a
birthday like me yeah like you're a bad [ __ ] that's a term Mikey you're a bastard

punch your children no don't do it just just tell them yes your fists yeah you want to pop them
till their heads pop up oh because they're so cute yep yeah don't do any of those things you'll be arrested they
figured out that's like normal is it yeah it's like some Evolution something that the two of you do it's not but
okay back to our story ladies now she is correct I do love me some ghostly stuff I was watching Poltergeist
at home alone at a young age and have never stopped wow that's impressive I'm obsessed with horror movies and haunted
houses the Warrens are my heroes whoa I can't get enough of their stories okay please tell Sheena who the Warrens are
the Warrens are like famous very famous and infamous ghost hunters there you go yeah I wouldn't know she mentioned to
hang out with them like Amityville The Conjuring like they're all over you should go you should look them up and
say hey I would like to come hang out with you where do they live where though isn't one of them dead
oh but they're both dead no but that doesn't matter in this field they're just committed to their jobs
yeah they truly are just doing more and I don't want to go there yeah they're they're an interesting oh they're here
right now the two of them the poster is shaking on the wall you know we have a lot to talk oh there's a red balloon too
yeah there's the warranty my sister Jessica and I tend to frequent places that are known to be hunted we have a
few good stories but nothing as good as the time it took a tour of the Haunted scene Ignatius Hospital in our local
town how do these people that love horror always have something in their local town I know I've noticed that they don't
have a lot in my local Town yeah like 12 minutes that's true you like go there for fun
that's very true and didn't you go on a boat like the scariest we did in Quincy yeah and they're like that was like 20
minutes away and I had a ghost blow in my ear oh my God I got assaulted by a ghost
they were hitting on you yeah they're Sailors so that's the nicest thing they do
you're good yeah the hospital has been abandoned for years and when some local ladies discovered how haunted it was
they decided to put on some tours of course this place is shut down because it's scary yeah we can service the needs
of the ill here but we can make people ill here so let's bring them in they can get service down the road at the new
hospital you turn that right around no growing up in the small town I had also grown up with all of them so the tour
seemed more like a girls night out with just a touch of let's see who can make it through the scary ass [ __ ] sounds
like my perfect idea you guys should you should take her on this tour yes she is
nodding in a Glick 100 but she wants to go this is sarcasm no no way they should
take you this could be a whole new YouTube series where we take you to haunted places oh my God that would be
great I'll just I'll go Lizzie Gordon that's hard to be good let's do it Lizzie more knows what is this house oh
my God don't start so we need to make it a series yeah that's true it's a feature
film then we could do one in Dutch and got a Vibes in that house and then they follow you yeah those there's some there
are some Vibes in them but I loved it I'll go back okay let's see how creepy this one is breakfast in
the morning this can be added to the list though because at the beginning of each tour you meet outside the massive
building with a scale of 10 on the creepy scale that's just the building Hospital abandoned for years so there's
no power or anything in the building yes I'm in you're equipped with flashlights
and the warmest clothes necessary for a fall night so now they're ready to enter the ladies
also suggested we download a specific Ghost Hunter app on our phones because now you can just get apps for this yeah
if you want to just put it out the Apple's got this sorted it tells you which ghosts are where take a left here
for children you know straight for murderers are awesome yeah yeah those are good fun
no but the real ones are too real so the apps are better very real for 99 cents someone can build that for you oh my God
ghosts there you go I like that here's where my TMs we're gonna make a fake app yeah here's where my skepticism kicked
into overdrive seriously a stupid iPhone app that's what I was just thank you that's uh yeah
this doesn't they supposedly had previous luck with communicating through this app with ghostly residents it acts
like one of those devices that make the white noise and let Spirit talk through it I think EVP is the correct name I
also decided to start recording on my phone just to see if I picked up any voices or noises I mean why not right
so we all laugh and skeptically download the app as we begin the tour into the hospital the app is squawking and
randomly spouting out words like ring landscape Etc we're all like oh so there is a ring
buried outside in the Landscaping about how absurd the app was as we made our way through the hallways
of peeling plaster and Scattered debris we come upon a specific patient's room by the name of rose at least I think
that's what was her name we will go with that for now let's go with rose let's go
with rose rose was known to be a volatile patient who didn't want anyone bothering her in her room at any time
uh-oh as we all conjured around in the room hearing the stories of Rose we were suddenly stalled as all of our phones
with the Ghost Hunter app promptly shouted get out oh no at the same time needless to say we got out Rose had
spoken when they tell you to leave you leave you should leave Yes we made our way through the rest of the hallways of
the massive Hospital searching all the remains of the procedure room the children's wing and eventually the
kitchen this is where things got interesting for me oh the kitchen area was still stocked with all the dishes
cooking pots and pans in the cash register as I was standing next to the cash register my app became very active
spotting out words like cash money Etc while I was concentrating on this particular Revelation I could hear
others talking very excitedly in a cubby off the kitchen which was known to be a
very active area I went to the area after they cleared out and just found shelves of dishes
nothing too exciting however remember this particular spot for reference I'm remembering we left
the kitchen area and made our way upstairs now keep in mind that since the building has been sold and was going to
be renovated we were told that if we wanted we could take anything home from the hospital that we please what the
dishes dishes from this roses like it's like do you want to take like a catheter
oh this is Jeremy's catheter yeah still filled as we made our way up the stairs and
through the rooms We Came Upon a room with the number 309. it would appear someone had been squatting here for some
time ooh there was a mattress and sleeping bags and lots of empty food containers and bags so this is an
abandoned building so maybe someone just wanted cover we also found 80s porn magazines which
are quite comical the amount of hair that was acceptable in various regions in that time
ah yes 80s hairstyles I love it my sick humor being what it is I thought I need this door number plaque
considering it was also the same number as my address oh so I peeled it off the wall and placed it in my pocket Yep this
is not the first time I have made this grave decision I also found a super old beer bottle that piqued my interest into
my pocket it went oh no I also found several windows and doors I would have loved to confiscate but didn't have my
power tools with me they did say take anything yeah you know we then made our way down to the main level but there was
still One More Level to descend what's in the basement Elena the more the more the place
I stood at the top of the stairs looking down into the deepest darkest Darkness I had ever seen or not seen
I made the immediate decision that there was no way I was going down there period
that's the end of story go down there all I could Envision was ghostly scream faces trapped at the bottom screaming up
at me so basically the tour had ended so that she didn't go we stood outside and
visited and visited and said our goodbyes and I got in my pick for my 20-minute drive home on the Dark
Country back roads to where we lived I feel like those objects are gonna be the pick up yeah she got in her pickup I was
excited to see if my phone had picked up anything while I was recording the whole
two hours we were in the hospital I mean I could see the red line going up and down the whole tour I was expecting to
hear something as I pulled up the app on my phone I was done to find that was absolutely nothing recorded at all
before I left the hospital I had two hours worth of recording on now outside the hospital I had zero oh what the hell
it was all indeed so I threw some music on and drove drove home rethinking my visit to the hospital and imagining it
was when it was still in working condition with the nurses in white uniforms and their caps in place Etc I
could see it all clearly in my mind before the plaster was peeling and the place wasn't riddled with trash and
debris could have been a nice place yeah yeah I got home and this is where things
got interesting at home now not in the hospital she's come home and she's taken what else did she bring
a beer bottle a beer bottle no I was standing in my kitchen when I got the feeling I should check the Ghost Hunter
app just for shits and giggles I opened the app and heard the White Noise I then asked
is anyone there immediately the app responds yes never never ask that I then asked who are you the app responds Dave
oh stay oh it's Dave well of course I then responded with why are you here the app responded with
pretty oh YouTube you followed me home because you think I'm pretty app said yes Dave ever heard of consent
okay no cheese Dave dead Dave dead Dave like Casey now as I stand in my kitchen in the late
hours of the night I'm thinking to myself not only is there a present Named Dave here in my kitchen but most
disturbingly he was in my passenger seat with me on the ride the whole way home oh my gosh that is so creepy well maybe
he just floated I don't know what what is the speed limit for floating he definitely sat in that passion or maybe
just on top of her maybe in her lap maybe but it would have been cold yeah okay maybe you said in the back
there is a significant temperature every time I feel cold now you guys I'm gonna
be freaked out I'm telling you you feel cold every night because maybe our house
is haunted the Quincy ship was freezing obviously because it's just like sitting
in the middle of the ocean like it's just but it would there was significant changes in temperature would start going
down wow like all of a sudden your breaths would become visible and it was like a deep colds that you were like
this is different like how cold is it when a sailor licks your ear you're sure yeah we're sure oh Bobby the
air blower yeah that bastard God damn it Robert Dave then told me other things about a
man named Gary White that may also have been with him it was a little confusing at this point because
of the information he was spewing out it was so sporadic I love that she's like Hungarian shown up so like we had a
party I love that she's not even freaked out no yeah so I mean she was kind she told
Dave that he should go back to the hospital where he belonged and I'm sorry if I gave him the wrong impression that
I wanted him to come home with me wow she's well she's I then went to bed however
for about three days after that my cat would stand on the back of the couch staring at the ceiling chattering his
teeth oh the cat was basically Garfield reincarnated so his behavior is so out of his norm and a little unnerving
I mean let's be real his fat ass didn't move unless he needed to eat her [ __ ] but he was obsessed
ceiling constantly about three days after the tour I talked to one of my girlfriends Robin who
helped out with the tours and told her my story she gaped at me and then told me that the hot spot in the kitchen that
had all the activity where the dishes were was a ghost named Dave oh and there had been no activity in that area since
the day I had taken the tournament no sir Robin then told me that she had taken a couple of ghosts home with her
as well taken but they eventually go back to the hospital where they belong don't worry
about it they'll go home no hospital yeah still remains in its decrepit State several people have tried to convert the
building into apartment buildings and such but have never succeeded the show Ghost Hunters did an episode of
a tour through the sign Ignatius hospital and Colfax and I did hear the that most of their
recordings from that night were erased from their cameras when leaving the hospital oh that's weird weird on a side
note my dear friend Robin died last year of cancer yeah because she is the one because she is one of the people who
suggested the Ghost Hunter app to me I occasionally try to reach her through it so far all I have gotten is that my
drink is next to my remote which is always true but could never get a name of who I am communicating with maybe
Dave is still making house calls who knows maybe one of these days I will get to talk to my dear friend again through
her suggested app oh I hope you do but I do hold Solace that the last time I saw
her I told her I loved her and would see her soon I know she is happy and no longer in pain in heaven with her daddy
so keep it weird but not so weird that you bring home a ghost by the name of Dave from a haunted hospital because he
thinks you're hot and terrorizes your cat for three days while you try to get him to go back home definitely not that
weird yeah that's not too weird okay but on the bright side she got to keep her 50 year old beer bottle and her new name
309. that was gonna be part of the like scary maybe he attached to those things maybe he wanted to make sure that they
had a good home so Davey likes uh hot kleptos yeah you know who doesn't doesn't know what they tell you outside
the premises I feel for him [Music] well my next one is called hospitals are haunted y'all
that's it and the deal with the haunted hospitals are haunted y'all and this is from
Christina and yes you can use my name thank you because I did thanks Christina let me start by saying I am super
excited that you wonderful ladies are reading my submission you're welcome thank you for being amazing and kind
human beings oh thank you I absolutely love when you both stumble on Words and don't cut it out
we're not good at this so like we're fine with that as a nurse educator I do that too when I present and it's nice to
feel like I'm not the only one that's the whole world no people ever since I listened to the first
listener Tales I was tempted to share some of my stories I finally decided to write in today after I validated one of
the stories with a nurse that I work with and then later in the day my mail and my mail and my office mailbox just
flew out onto the floor in front of my co-workers no Breeze and no one else's mail ever shifted I've included two
stories as there's a theme and they are somewhat short take what you like leave what you don't look like we'll take it
we'll take it all the first one is called wheelchair basketball ghost I don't know what I was I was like bfall I
don't know why I said it like that the first story originates in my first year of nursing I worked second shift
from 3 to 11 pm I often got mandated to work a double shift shift 16 hours damn that is a long 3 P.M to 7 A.M I was
young and energetic and loved the overtime pay Mama needed some new shoes so it didn't phase me too much one
evening I had a patients family member getting ready to leave for the night and she asked me not to let anything bad
happen to her mother oh I assured her that she had nothing to worry about and that I would be there all night with her
her mother was there because of COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and was very stable I really was not
worried about this patient so much I was worried about my psych patients across the hall that were seeing spiders
everywhere but I parked myself outside my copd's patient door so that I could visualize her throughout the night
you're a good nurse very good yeah also I'd be scared of the spider patients I would also be scared I would stay away
from the spider yeah that would be a little terrifying she was receiving an overnight sadogram which basically
measures her oxygen levels throughout the night they say that after you've been a nurse for a while you start to
develop a sixth sense for your patients and can predict when something is just not right even when they look clinically
fine I was by no means as experienced an experienced nurse but I like to think that this is when my nursing success
started to kick in I had this strange desire to make sure that I knew where the code code blue a Coke a code called
when a patient loses their pulse button was in her room isn't that like terrifying that's terrifying that's
really terrifying that's like when you see like it's like in the new schools now you see like
lockdown I know the walls like those kind of things while very necessary and I'm so happy they exactly exist they're
comforting but also terrible at the same time yes it's like so when you see a code blue you're like oh you have to use
that at some point and that's scary yeah like I said I was a new nurse and had never actually called The Code Blue
until this night oh no later in the night just after 2 A.M my patient's oxygen saturation started rapidly
decreasing I ran into the room and flipped the light on she was not breathing I checked for a pulse no pulse
I immediately pushed the code blue button on the wall that I had so conveniently located earlier in the
night and began CPR well she knew she just knew like she that was the sixth sense we were able to get her pulse back
and she was transferred to ICU I felt horrible like I had failed her daughter but there were no clinical indicators
leading up to this event she was getting ready to be discharged home the next day
I then learned what happens when you use a code card the full the the cart full of medications and supplies to run a
code blue my co-workers instructed me that I had to take the open cart down to the sub basement at the far end of the
hospital and retrieve a new one um the hospital basement were you coming in the middle of the
night and go are you down here by yourself no I'm not all of them are here they're all here with me they thought
that this would be a good learning experience for me and that I had to go alone so they could cover the rest of
the floor because she didn't have a difficult enough night already you should go alone and she says was this
hazing I don't know you be the judge yeah yes it was yes it was our hospital was set up with a very long outer
hallway that's slightly curved and spanned the length of the hospital and each unit had small hallways that
branched off one side my unit was on the far north end of the hospital in the elevator to the sub basement was at the
far south end as I pushed the code cart down the hallway the units branched off to my right I made it about one-third
down the hallway when I saw a patient in a wheelchair Wheeling herself out of the
unit hallway into the main hallway I could not see her face but she had long black scraggly hair of course nobody
does their hair when they're like I'm starting a salon when I die knotted that draped somewhat over her face
do you want to scare the [ __ ] out of living people do it looking good come to knowledge
the only thing was it was not a pattern I had ever seen on one of our hospital gowns it appeared as though she noticed
me coming towards her and she began to roll her wheelchair backwards and back into the unit she came from I don't like
that I don't like it either she did this so smoothly and quickly like something you would see from a professional
wheelchair basketball player yet she looked so good disheveled apparently not it was just it's just this is just the
this listener is familiar with the wheelchair basketball yeah wheelchair wheeling and dealing a wheelchair basket
she said she was so smooth but she looks so just disheveled and weak I was still
a ways from her so I picked up my pace and turned the corner into the unit she had come from she was not there I looked
down the hall in the unit and she was nowhere to be found stop there's a nurse's station right at the entrance of
the hallway so I asked the nurses sitting there if a patient had just come by in a wheelchair of course they looked
at me like I was so strange for asking that kind of question at 3am and said no no one has been passed here I proceeded
back out into the main hallway thinking about thinking to myself cool cool so that was a ghost yes isn't this awesome
I arrived at the elevator to the sub basement how could they expect me to go down there after this couldn't I just
leave this used cart in the hallway do they really need a fresh code card on our unit can it wait till morning or at
least not the witching hour of 3 A.M oh yes or couldn't you take a buddy like a three a.m use the buddy system yeah you
got to use the budget system no nurses oh they had a buddy always every time these are smart nurses yeah I sucked up
my fear and retrieved a new cart wow you're brave the whole time questioning everything I had just experienced I know
I wasn't over tired and wasn't seeing things because I just performed CPR and my body was pumping with endorphins but
you said it was a 16 hour shift yeah so so possibly but the CPR like pumpkin yeah she's like she's let's go
I was wide awake I never told anyone at work about that event because I was not trying to stand out as a weirdo Flash
Forward 10 years later and I have fully embraced my weirdness love it so that was the first story The Second Story is
The Boy in the Striped shirt that's ominous this story takes place years later in a
hospital in Georgia I was very experienced nursed and worked as a float nurse where I would work in a different
unit each day to help the short staffing I really enjoyed this position because I
got to see all areas of hospital and it also meant that I didn't always know the
Deep details of each unit like The Boy in the Striped shirt yeah on this particular day yuck I was working on a
cardiac unit and one of my patients was losing their their battle with heart disease and had to get put into hospice
end of life care it was the last rounds of my shift and I went in his room to give him some medication for Comfort
before I gave his medication he asked me who is that little boy in the corner with the striped shirt did she say yuck
she said yuck she said that's your friend Billy you just walked out you're gonna this poor guy's like okay just
just seeing things it was just the patient and I in the room but I was too frightened because at this but I wasn't
too frightened because at this point in my career I had worked with many hospice
patients and it is very common for them to see loved ones that have passed shortly before they pass welcome that is
true too that's like a very welcome I have heard that too because they're like helping them transition isn't that
soothing actually I love the idea you think of you gonna die tomorrow what does that mean I'm not telling you
nothing yeah I'm not scared if you'd like to tell you to go visit some country you've never been to you'd be
scared imagine going to a whole other room I know I've heard that before and I actually think it's really comforting
that they come and like welcome you in yeah just transition you in and be like it's gonna but see they're like it's not
they're not talking to the people that are still living their beautiful lives here on Earth they're talking about the
people that are going which I'm okay with that like it's warm and welcoming oh and this is she says I had
experienced this with my own grandfather and would later experience it with my father I asked the patient's patient do
you know him and he said no that's when I became concerned I asked what is he [Music]
you are so she said what is he doing and the patient said you can see for yourself
look at him I turned to look and saw nothing in the room with us the patient then said he's just staring at us oh I
wouldn't like that yuck internally I thought us don't bring me into this you're the one seeing him not me but I
smiled and nodded finished administering their medication and made my way back out to the nurse's station
at the end of our shift we would give the charge nurse updates on our patients I gave my updates and laughingly told
the charge nurse that my patient saw a boy in his room with a striped shirt instantly really fast just you know
instantly her face turned from calm to frightened as did everyone else's face at the nurse's station she proceeded to
tell me that the unit has a resident ghost or what some would call a grim reaper yeah time is up exactly The Boy
in the Striped shirt appears to people before they die that's a good thing I was like all those people are dying and
they're getting a welcome host boy why are you giving boys a boy in a straight shirt I know this is nice I like that
those stripes he's like the he's their he's their transport yeah their guy shuttle has arrived he's just their
guest he's such a good guy he's just our guy I was fully creeped out and called his
family to come visit him which is probably a good thing yeah yes I didn't say why I just said that he had been not
asking for them I handed off report to the oncoming nurse and gave her the notice of the sighting of The Boy in the
Striped shirt she huffed and puffed and casually said great more paperwork for me tonight yeah wow because someone's
gonna go great he's just gonna kick it I was hoping for next Tuesday yeah okay she
knew the legend knew that he would be passing shortly damn all right I hate to admit that there are nurses
like this yes but burnout is real y'all that is very true I can't imagine being a nurse it made me sad to hear that from
her but I was glad to know that his family would be there with him I stopped back by the unit the next day to check
on him he had in fact passed away overnight and was now in the morgue Elena with me she gets so happy every
time she says Mark I just get so excited I choke his family got to be by his side
and say their last goodbyes and help his Spirit move on while this situation fully creeped me out I found myself
being thankful for that warning from the boy in the Stream shirt she gets it so that I could get his family to be there
with him was this boy a grim reaper or was he a ghost there to help the staff and those that are about to pass know
that the time is soon thanks for listening to my couple of stories keep it weird but not so weird that take it
away Ash can't not so weird that you're not in the [ __ ] room like ash not so weird that you get scared about

to you all day I listened to a few True Crime podcasts before and haven't gotten
into them but the way you tell these stories and the passion that you put into them really comes through in the
way that they are presented Elena I feel you when you talk about sleep paralysis
I get it on near enough a nightly basis I like the fact that I'm not the only one no you're not I can't imagine
getting it on a near nightly basis that's horrifying it stinks I'm pretty sure if I told my husband he might
divorce me haha he already puts up with the Sleepwalk uncomfortable laugh guess what I do when you're sleeping
um he already puts up with the sleepwalking and talking and gets freaked out when I'm just staring at him

living on the edge right then and there that was it he was like this is it this is the one yep why would you not want
the love of your life adoringly staring at you like she's possessed at 3am exactly 3 A.M again 3am the witching
hour all the weird things happen at 3am all of it right a little bit about me I'm from a small City in a rural part of
England I'm 37 year I'm a 37 year old mother of three who decided at the age same
girl Quincy yeah Becky I decided at the age of 35 that I didn't know what to do with my life oh yeah yeah I dude
when did this start four years ago yeah right around there yeah have you seen one of these yeah they do that in school
same um so she didn't know what to do with her life then the grow up get married
have babies all worked out but nobody had told me about what happens between now and happily ever after oh so many
women yeah this is your story this is my story like oh [ __ ] no one told me what
happens after the kids are like big and then you have to find something to do for the rest of your life yeah you don't
think about it yeah because your whole life is like them yeah for that short time yeah
this was the opposite she thought they required no time it just like I thought I was gonna pop them up and be done yeah
that's it and like three months later I'd be back at work yeah I did that how'd that work out 10 years yeah
exactly I feel that took a minute worked well um so I decided to go to university oh
good good food get it girl and do a Nursing degree hell yeah her children were the ages seven six and two days it
sounds like the perfect time to go back to school mine are seven and two sevens and a
three and holy holy cow I can't imagine twelve and nine and I'm just like yeah okay maybe finally like wow I've worked
at the hospital for 12 I had I've worked at the hospital for 12 years prior to starting my degree so I've seen a few
spooky things from time to time and heard many a story this story however happened recently on
a placement I had in another smaller more rural hospital it's always in the rural hospitals rural rural rural jurors
[Laughter] starting the night shift obviously everything was running smoothly until
the ceiling fell through in one of the Bays that some patients were in oh nice That's A disruption if a ceiling's gonna
fall on you better happen in the hospital is what I always say until the ceiling caved in I know but what a nice
place to be yeah yeah you want to be there you know the Casual stuff that happens in hospitals yeah we were
rushing around to get the patients out and settled into a new area and phoning around to get someone from the
maintenance team out to access the damage and condemn the bay until it could be fixed in the morning
eventually lights were turned off and the patients were settled in for a good night's sleep after the event that had
just happened we had tidied the bay and left it still with the equipment patient lockers and
tables inside and shut the doors a few hours later Jill a member of the staff went into the empty Bay to grab a
piece of equipment that was left in there Jill came out a bit confused and I asked her if she was okay and she
replied when we left all the lockers were next to each of each bed space wasn't they
I said yes they were I put them there myself she said well they are all in the middle of the room and the windows are
open oh why do the windows keep opening is that an easy trick for the maybe for the
afterlife seriously I can't open Windows easily yeah it seems like a difficult task it does close the window
it all connects um okay where was I she said I said yes I put them all there myself she said
well they're in the middle of the room and the windows are all open I went with another member of the staff Sarah to
have a look when we got there all the lockers were in the bed spaces like they were when I left them and all the
windows were closed oh yes must have been seeing things and thought nothing of it seeing a lot of things yes
yeah a little while later there was a cold breeze and it was coming from the empty Bay I asked Sarah to come with me
to inspect it as Jill said she was not going into that room I don't blame Jill on that one we slowly
walked towards the room we stood there in shock all the windows were open the emergency exit door was wide open and
all that's the first strike they teach you in dead school oh yeah burst open how to open all the windows and cabinets
yeah back to Jill and her window back to Jill no Jill didn't want to have anything to do it just like I'm out this
is Sarah and um what was her name so I asked Sarah to come with me to inspect because Jill said she wasn't
going into the room we slowly walked towards the room we stood there in shock all the windows were open the emergency
exit door was wide open and all the curtains around the bay were pulled around we heard laughter
children's left oh no oh we stood in silence for a few very long minutes and looked at each other in Fright I bravely
walked in and shut the door and the windows as I was doing this I thought to myself well if someone's in here and
going to attack me then bring it on [ __ ] Becky Becky's crazy she also went back to school when she had three
kids at home yeah she's really yeah she's she's looking for a fight she has the good hair too I bet for sure when
they were all shut and it was obvious no one was in the room Sarah followed in and helped me to open all the curtains
we shut the door and headed to the nurse's station to tell all the rest of the staff what had just happened with
that there was a loud bang and the other nurses were straight on their feet to check on the patients to make sure they
were all okay Sarah Jill and I however looked at each other the three of us slowly walked to
the empty Bay and peered in the door all the windows were open what the [ __ ] those kids are like hey like it's stuff
we're having a party we've made sure no humans come here we broke the ceiling yeah
all the lockers were moved to the middle of the bay and in one of the curtains there was something it looked like
someone had got the end of the curtain and twisted themselves up in it oh oh nice so it's like a form of somebody oh
I don't like that curtain shape not into that Jill's response was oh good lord who is that then we heard it again the
children's laughter again Sarah out of nowhere ran into the room with a H and full on red karate kicked the
curtain oh nice go Sarah what if it's like an actual nothing she just fell right through there
Sarah just blew out the window the curtain instantly dropped and the laughter stopped
oh they didn't like the fight that's like Paranormal Activity whatever one it is where it's like there's like a sheet
ghost yeah and then when she goes to touch it the whole thing there's nothing under there that scares the [ __ ] out of
me though that will scare them I don't need it I mean that's too much you know magicians can also do that
scares the [ __ ] out of them they also scare her that's true horror to me it's a magician
with a red nose I don't like it I looked at Sarah and said where the hell did that come from
Sarah said she didn't know what came over her it was the first thing that came into her head karate job really a
million things went through my head and not one was that we moved everything back into place
closed all of us why why are they doing this and then a little later on me and Sarah
together went to get some food from the vending machines walking past reception we said hello to the receptionist who
slowly looked up at us she looked very relieved and said how has your night been girls mine has been terrible I'm
too scared to look up from my desk I keep hearing children laughing and I'm so frightened I keep trying to figure
out where it's coming from but there is nowhere in the hospital but there is nowhere the hospital is all
closed now and we don't have a children's word where can it be coming from oh we stood and spoke to her a
while telling her about our night when the night shift housekeep came she looked like she had just literally seen
a ghost or a few the out of hours Department was now closed was cleaning the individual rooms and
locking them as she finished this one room unlocking mm-hmm this one room had a heavy chair in the
corner of the room one a bit like a dentist chair is how she's described it she left locked the
door and carried on when she had got to another room she realized she had left her antibacterial spray in the last room
and went back to retrieve it when she opened the door the heavy chair in the corner of the room was now smack bang in
the center of the room oh I don't like that why do they move everything when no one's looking because he thinks like a
level skill like you can't move when people are looking you should do it when they're looking they're embarrassed yeah
what weakness because like in case it's heavy you don't want to struggle I could
barely move this chair it's still like I'm a ghost that's almost intimidating I can't be struggling yeah it won't be
scary if you can't even move that chair boom effect when it's just there in the middle of the chair all the windows are
open ghosts are all about the pizzazz yeah the truly scary thing would be to watch it
because seven of them needs hey come on Joe come out this is really heavy they have to call their friends that's a big
it's a big to do it's a production oh man okay so she ran out and she heard children's laughter and that's when we
saw her look how funny yeah it's the space I would be like are you guys watching
Bluey because if you are can I also watch you yeah oh look that three-year-old moved a chair and they're
all scared that's hilarious other people throughout the remainder of the night we had to go into the bay to
close the windows a few more times and still heard the children's laughter I can honestly say I've never had an
experience like this before like I said before I've heard it a few stories I've heard a few stories and have had a few
moments but nothing like this for the remainder of my time nothing else happened I honestly don't think I would
have been that scared if it wasn't for the Laughing children keep it weird but not so weird that you
don't believe that one of your colleagues is seeing but then see it all for yourself then go and karate kick a
curtain that probably landed on a ghost child's head then you tell your story and find out they also have been
terrorizing the rest of the building bye they were busy damn they're not only doing that one room they were running
around in circuits I love that ghost kids just like they're like normal kids they're like yeah
that's really nice about it is that they're all happy they are all happy like they're not really tired they're
not walking around crying that would be oh I didn't even think about that that's
I know what's worse imagine you're just here yeah just kids it is way better than a song
no that would happen to me again and then they they started poking you in the back and then when you went to take your
jacket your jacket was already being worn by a form oh my God so help me yeah that I don't like that I would like that
because nothing's worse than a crying child like it'll just destroy my soul like I just want to help it but that's
the soundtrack on the boat yeah to hell yeah just crying crying children my God but tortured crime yeah that
makes sense crying dead children oh yeah that's so much worse okay okay I at least I feel okay about it I want to
