I don't have any for hospitals and such, but I have some experience with ghosts (for those of you who say it's crap, fine. It doesn't bother me and I hope you're made a believer one day). The most relevant to the topic that I have is the haunt(s) at our rescue squad building. It used to be a house that is converted into a 2 story squad building (very small, we're a small county with a small volunteer rescue squad) with the ambulance bays, storage room and laundry facilities in the basement and living quarters, offices and a classroom upstairs. I had heard stories about strange sounds at certain times and things not being where they were left, but never thought much about it. That is until the night I was there with only one other person and it was quieter than usual as a result. A little after 9pm we both heard a bay door open downstairs, thought another member was down there doing something and ignored it. We never heard the door close (they're very loud) but we did hear heavy, fast footsteps on the wooden stairs coming from the basement. We wondered who it was and was looking through the window in the door to quarters at the hallway door to the stairs. We HEARD it open, SAW it open and then slam closed. But we NEVER saw a person! We were freaked out and then the door to quarters where we were opened and then slammed closed. By now we're nearly passed out. We heard padded footsteps on the carpet next to the couch where we were sitting, the TV went fuzzy (like the antenna is picking up interference) and the front door opened, the screen door opened, then they both slammed shut. The TV came back to normal and it was over. We didn't know what to do with ourselves, but we both knew what we saw and heard. We got up the guts to go downstairs and the bay door we heard open but not close was closed and all 4 ambulances were unplugged from their electric hookups. There is no possible way somebody could have played a joke on us and when we brought it up to other members there some of them had experienced the same thing. The other member (a guy who had been there a few years) who was there with me that night never came back to stay overnight. He ran from his brother's house nearby and tried his best to never be alone in the building. I've stayed many times since then, but never had the same experience. Though I have had strange noises wake me up and stuff I KNEW I put away end up back where it was before I put it up. Especially stuff from the refrigerator.

when NWCH renovated the third floor for OB/GYN it had been the lon term care wing until a new facility was built. The new facility was at an angle from the main building and you could see it from some of the rooms. during the renovations we stopped using the elevators at night because they would repeatedly go to that empty dark floor when there was no one there to push the elevator call button.. From the new LTC building you could now see the lady in red in room 18. the 3rd floor was dark but from LTC it looked lit up in 18 and there was some one in a long red gown or robe at the window...security got tired of hearing complaints after a while...once OB settled into its new home the occurences stopped

When I worked for Pruitt Corp in LTC everyone told the story of the lady in white I am glad to know there are ladies wearing red too.

I havent had any specific ghost sightings, but I have experienced some sensations. I dont know if it was guilt or not, but after my father passed from cancer in 2002, I was living with him in FL and was petrified to sleep alone in the house. I invited my then-boyfriend to come stay with me (the same guy my father couldnt stand) and the very first night he stayed I had some weird experiences.

Before my father died, his room was right across from mine and he would often call to me in the middle of the night when he needed help, meds for pain etc. That first night, I was woken up twice by the sound of my father calling my name from the other room. Then, a few hours later I was abruptly woken up by the feeling of being hit... or thumped really hard, on the back in bed. I started freaking out, assuming it was my dad and he hit me like that perhaps because he was angry at me for having my boyfriend there? Talk about guilt lol

I am obsessed with the SciFi channel show Ghost Hunters which is on every Wednesday night at 9. These guys are from Rhode Island and travel all around the US to do ghost hunting. Some of the stuff they have on video is amazing. Especially the one place I am most interested in going to for a ghost hunt - St Augustine Lighthouse in St Augustine FL. The video from that is amazing. You can check them out on www.scifi.com/ghosthunters/ they even have videos etc on there. Amazing but scary lol

My grandfather lived with us when I was a teenager.  He died in his favorite rocking chair. probably of a stroke.  He had one before and when he walked he had a "heavy" right leg.  He liked to go downstairs to the den and sit in that rocking chair and "watch TV"  (actually TV was on, he was usually asleep)  Every time day or night when he wanted to go down the stairs he would flip the light on and he could be heard all over the house with his feet on the stairs...plunk..plunk.......plunk..plunk.......plunk.. until he got to the bottom of the stairs.  For quite awhile after he died we don't know if since he probably died in his sleep in front of the TV if he didn't know he was dead or not.  but every day at the same times you would hear the light switch flip on, then plunk..plunk.....plunk..plunk on the stairs then the rocking chair would start to rock by itself. 

One particular time I was home alone by myself watching TV in the den and it started.  Scared to death, I said, "Grandpa if that is you, it is OK we are fine go to heaven" then the noises stopped and as far as anyone has said have not ever been heard again!

The whole experience was very creepy.  My dad even called in electricians to check if their was another reason with the wireing why that light at the top of those stairs would come on by itself.  No problems with the electric in the house we found.

GREAT stories guys!!!

A hospital I once worked at had haunted rooms. One room in particular had a recurrent ghost. Different patients over the course of several months would see the same ghost. These were patients who were "with it", and when we would walk in to their room they would be awake and watching t.v. and relate the sighting to us. Not like they were just waking up from a dream. The patients would think they saw somebody walk in an out of the room, and it was always the same person they saw. The patients would not say they saw a ghost - they thought it was just somebody walking around. Patients who were dying would see several people in the room, and see people looking in the window. O.K., we were several floors up!

I do not try to tell anybody what to believe, but I have seen too many things that can't be explained away. We do have more to us than just a physical existence. It is beyond my comprehension.

dont know if it was a ghost or just a bad person trying to harm me. it was around 2am in the morning, i was sleeping inside my room,  the bed was close to the window. i was awaken by someone trying to pull my blanket, thought i was just dreaming, and so i pull the blanket back and cover myself, in a matter of seconds, the blanket was again being pulled away from me, and when i opened my eyes, to my horror, i saw a hand  in my window, and i started to scream and run out of my room, shouting "ghoooost!"

some said might not be a ghost but someone who had bad intentions over me. but that was very frightening!

that was my close encounter with the "ghost".
