anybody explain this

Hospitals, nursing homes, any type of facility that sees a significant number of deaths have a reputation for being haunted. We've had several people in the health care profession here on this board who have reported paranormal experiences in their places of work.

The sound of the baby crying and the nurse in old fashioned uniform could be what is called a residual haunting. The best way to explain that particular phenomenon is to compare it to a tape that has recorded an image. In those types of hauntings, it is like the area has absorbed some small bit of time and plays it back periodically. Those type of spirits typically do not interact with the living -- we see and hear them, but they can't see us.

As far the incident in which the elderly gentleman passed away and your co-worker experienced something upon entering his room, she could possibly be what is called a psychic sensitive. Psychic sensitives often take on the physical pain they feel another person is in and it effects different people in different ways. I would be curious to know if she had ever had a similar episode. If she has, she might want to consider a profession other than something in the medical field!

It could be that if the gentleman had been in physical discomfort at the time of his passing, your co-worker absorbed some of that feeling and it manifested in physical discomfort for her. If you've ever been in a room where people were arguing just before you entered, it is similar to that. You walk in and you are just dandy, then you sense that something is not right and your good mood is toned down a bit. Other folks may have some more theories.

I think you are doing the right thing by seeking answers to things you have experienced. The more you know about something, the less likely you are to be frightened of it. Good luck and keep your eyes and ears open! Let us know if you have any more experiences!

woow that sounds cool i dont think she has experienced it before nooo.it only happends when on nightshift.i was wondering why cant they see us going back too you saying that residual hauting we can see them but they cant see us?why is it i see the ghost in the window and it looks like there looking straight at me?maybe there just look like there looking inside.iam really intrested in this type of stuff.as for janet i havent seen her since then as we work different shifts but i will tell her what you say

My aunt worked in a nursing home as the head nurse. She said the third floor was supposed to be haunted, and she is the most levelheaded, non excitable person I know. So this news coming from her was fascinating for me.

Ghosty,if you have a digital cam, it would be cool if you could take some pics around there at night and see what you come up with. I have also heard of people getting pain or weird feelings when they have been touched by a spirit.

It would be fascinating to take pics, but I would be very cautious about taking them inside the building because of the rules in the facility. A lot of health care facilities have rules about any photos being taken, mostly to insure the privacy of patients. You could ask a supervisor for permission to take a photo of an empty room or hall for example, but still there is a good chance of being turned down. However, there is no reason you could not take some photos outside the building. Remarkable things have shown up in windows, etc.. of haunted buildings.

em well the owner doesnt work at night and no1 would see me well i do it secretly i would love too see if it came up on the digital cam.it have too wait till iam nightshift again when i dont know when that will be as it roatuered.but yeah i will try that.and mabey nothing will come up.but i try

" was wondering why cant they see us going back too you saying that residual hauting we can see them but they cant see us?"

Just to explain a little more on what Carrie has already said. Residual hauntings are just energy impressions. There is no "them" or "they". It's like hearing a voice on CD or tape. The voice, the picture is left behind, imprinted on the house, building, ground, but those that left it are long gone. This type of haunting has no intelligence. It's just an event being played back.

ehhh nope i dont get thatso your saying it just like a recording it get getting played back but with no sound.em right i think i get you.in other word there spirt is left in that nursing home away back when it was a maternity hospital
