Elevator Ghosts

If you ask any random person where to find ghosts, they will undoubtedly say hospitals.

Hospitals are often frequented by ghosts due to the aura that surrounds them such as death, pain, loneliness and despair. often times, these negative energies seep into the structure itself and thus manifestations happen.

I've encountered a lot of these so called hospital ghosts. I lived in one of the biggest hospitals in Manila because my father was confined with cancer and for five months, I've seen and experienced a lot of them but the stories I love are not from me but from the nurses who did their rounds and experienced these hauntings first hand.

One particular nurse told me a story of how she met a scary apparition that almost made her quit her job. She was assigned in the Operating room of the Hospital located at the ground floor. The nurse was asked to get supplies for the next operation located at basement four of the hospital. All the other nurses are afraid to go down to the basement because it is near the morgue but being the non believer of the group, she just shrugged and went to the basement.

Everything went normal from the elevator trip down to the supply room. When she picked up all the supplies she needed, she went straight to the elevator and pressed the up button when the elevator opened. A man in his late twenties wearing a hospital gown is already inside and made way for her to enter. She was already inside the elevator when a young boy came rushing and yelled stop but she immediately pressed close.

The guy with him asked her why she didn't let the boy get in, she told her that she is not a believer of the paranormal but the boy is already dead. The boy died during the operation that very morning and that the boy is also wearing a red tag on his left arm, A tag for dead bodies in the morgue when the guy beside him  pulled up his sleeve and told her,

"oh, you mean like this one?"

She woke up two days later.
