One night while she was talking to a nurse the shower turned on by itself, they both looked at each other. So the nurse walks in and turns it off. A little while longer, it happened again and the room smelled like someone had been smoking. The nurse told us that it happens often and that sometimes when the room is empty the call button comes on and they see someone sticking their head out the door.
After the shower incident and the strong smell of cigarettes, they had to move my daughter to another room… the nurse said they try and leave that room empty because of everything that has happened there, but unfortunately, sometimes they have to use it. I was working in acute ER when I was asked to take a sample to the lab on the second floor of the east wing.
When I went to that floor it was closed for construction and dark. I had to pass through corridors to get to the lab. I could see the exit light and a light further down the hall. Then the doors behind me closed.
I could hear footsteps behind me so I stopped and looked back, but saw nothing, so continued forward. I heard more footsteps, looked back, and saw something move like into a dark room. So thinking someone was playing with me I went back to check. I saw a shadow of someone further back dart into another room.
By then I turned, walked fast, almost running to the double doors where the lab was and the guy there asked me why was I pale and out of breath. I told him, then he told me about the nurse so he and his coworker walked back with me with a flashlight and we checked the door to the rooms and they were all locked. When I made it back downstairs they told me too. I never went back to that part of the hospital.
