It's getting to be the season so thought that I would share one from my workplace that my nurse co-worker just experienced. I work in a psychiatric hospital that was built in 1895. It consists of many Victorian buildings some of which were modeled after wealthy patients' homes or so I was told. Actually, not sure if that is true.
Here's some history: McLean Hospital - Wikipedia

Anyway, I work in a very quaint Victorian building that feels more like a home than a hospital. It has patient rooms, offices and a homey atmosphere. It is a private-pay program that costs 5K a day. Needless to say, it is the hospital's little money maker though I do feel what we offer does help people, sometimes a little and sometimes a lot.

Another co-worker told me that the hydrotherapy program used to be housed in our building back in the day (50s and before) when it was a thing. He also told me that a nurse was drowned by 2 patients in a hydrotherapy tub probably back in the 50s.

Meg, my fellow nurse, was on her break and walking around our driveway when she saw all the lights on in room 127 (the room that housed the tubs) with a lady lying on the bed watching TV. After the break she was talking with one of the counselors and asked about the new patient in room 127, the counselor said that there was no new patient in room 127...

Wish me luck--I'm on the night shift.

We have an adjacent building that is also haunted. Orbs, shadows and jangling keys on occasion.

Hi candasiri! Very interesting topic, and also really well written. At one time my friend circle included a lot of nurses, and they said they had definitely 'seen things' but never went into detail around me.
I moved to a smaller town and slowly learned the history of certain places here. Through a friend, I met another friend's mother who had also been a nurse. Before I lived here, there was a psyche hospital/insane asylum on the outskirts of town. She said that there were actually cages in the basement that housed some of the more unruly patients.
She also said that the buildings were torn down and the land used for sports fields...but she said that the building itself was most definitely haunted, and had no doubt that the area was still haunted to this day. My son played soccer there a few summers in a row, and I never witnessed anything myself.
I do also have a personal 'haunting' story that happened earlier this year. I'm not quite ready to talk about it here because it was very personal and although I wasn't scared, it still freaks me out a fair bit.

Awesome idea for a topic and I will be checking back for more!
 
A tourist visited Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City and took photographs of the carriages on display there and in one of these photographs appears what is considered to be the ghost of Empress Carlota

Carlota_de_mejico.jpg

The castle dates from the Viceroyalty (Late 18th century) era and was used by the viceroys as a resting place. It was abandoned and in 1840 the Military College established its headquarters and battles against the U.S. Army were fought there. During the imperial transition (1864), Maximilian of Habsburg and his wife Carlota lived in the building. After this, it became the residence of the President of Mexico until 1944 when it became a museum and since then it houses more than one hundred thousand artistic and historical objects.

The tourist said: "On my visit to Chapultepec Castle in CDMX, I took several photographs, but only in one did I catch that woman in the glass. It fills me with intrigue to know if you are a little ghost, who are you, what era are you from?".

The image, presumably that of a ghost, shows the face of a young woman with her eyes looking down. The face appeared reflected in a glass in a carriage exhibited in the Chapultepec Castle and became present after seeing the photos.

María Carlota Amelia Augusta Victoria Clementina Leopoldina of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha or simply Carlota of Mexico was princess of Belgium and Empress of Mexico. She died in Brussels in 1927 and according to Miguel de Grecia, she sighed holding a rosary and murmuring: "Mexique".​
 
There's a very scary ghost story in the cinema, for those who love this genre, and it takes place in a hospital! I think it's normal that hospitals still have floating spirits, because in hospitals, people die. And they die suffering. It's also normal for old hospitals to have stories of ghosts because of cases of torture, experiments were (and still are) carried out there. But back to the subject of cinema, there's this story that really scared me. The director, Jaume Balagueró, is an expert in terror films, but he's not a director for everyone. I'm putting the title here anyway, because ghost stories are always very interesting and unsettling.

I've only seen a ghost once, and even then I wonder if it was one. Some years ago I woke up and there was someone sitting at the foot of the bed who literally disappeared and disintegrated. Was it a ghost? Perhaps it was.

Yes.

● More like an imprint that gets activated for "reruns" when the energies are right.
● The connection with physical imprint locator.
● Aroused by negative imprint of attack. Check the history of the location.

Possibly the tourist (identified as Jesse) had a connection to Carlota's ghost if the entity is truly the ghost of the empress.

Maximilian and Carlota ruled Mexico for three years. During those three years Carlota suffered greatly from her husband's infidelities. Maximilian met in Mexico a very beautiful 17 year old Indian girl with whom the emperor fell in love. For her part, Carlota could not give him an heir, but likely the problem was not her but Maximilian. Carlota fell in love with Colonel Van Der Smissen and later became pregnant, which forced her to flee Mexico pretending to be mentally ill in order to be in seclusion during her pregnancy.

But the official story is that desperate to save the throne of her husband threatened by the liberals of Benito Juarez, she went to Europe to get support and it is here where she began to show symptoms of mental imbalance, schizophrenia with paranoid and catatonic profiles as described by historians.

During her stay in Europe, her husband, Emperor Maximilian, was captured by the liberals and later shot. Possibly there is also a feeling of guilt in Carlota's soul, who knows.​

I think that older psych hospitals where a lot of negative human activities went down in regards to people with mental illness (who probably had a fair amount of attachments themselves) are the creepiest places. So sorry to hear that you were haunted.

I do wonder if we have a legit ghost or perhaps she is just an imprint as she is rarely seen. My colleague saw her and many years ago security reported that there was a patient outside our building, however it was the ghost/imprint.
 
I heard this story in a pod cast:

This happened in the summer of 1984, I was outside my college classroom when a classmate approached me and asked me "are you leaving already?" and I answered "yes I am leaving, I'm just going to get something to eat". My classmate name is Juan.

Juan then told me "I invite you to eat at a friend's house that I recently met again, her house is very close to Zamora Park, let's go".

After a brief consideration I accepted and so we headed to the house and already in Zamora Park Juan and I met the daughter of the person we were going to visit. This girl's name was Teresa. My friend and she greeted each other effusively for the time they had not seen each other and then he introduced me to her. Teresa was a very pretty young lady in my opinion.

Teresa said to Juan "I'm in a hurry I can't return to the house, can I ask you a big favor?" Of course, Juan answered. Teresa handed him some keys and said "can you give these keys to my mother? Tell her not to worry, she can sell the car, I'm fine". Juan took the keys and Teresa said goodbye to us.

Juan and I arrived at his friend's house, who also greeted him warmly, after which he introduced me to her. Juan then handed her the keys and the message Teresa gave him for her mother. The lady turned pale and her body languished.

As best we could, we held her. We were in the middle of it when her husband showed up asking us what we had done. Juan told him about the keys and I stupidly added the comment "by the way, your daughter is very beautiful". The husband got angry, I thought that my comment had been improper, because he told us that we were not to play with that.

After making sure the lady was okay, the husband invited us to accompany him to the garage. There was a wrecked car there. Teresa had died a few days earlier in that car. I cannot find an explanation. The man told us that the police never found the car keys. I wonder if Teresa was aware of what happened to her.

There are many cases of ghosts appearing to people or their relatives after they had a fatal accident or died of illness. Many of these ghosts say goodbye or want to deliver a message or the location of an object. There is something that does not let them rest and go to 5D.

Hi Puma, enjoyed the story but I was always under the impression that 'ghosts', being non physical , could not hold anything solid.

Yes, I think so too. Here's another story where the ghost seems completely material.

This happened at a funeral home. The security guard noticed something strange in the wake chapel, so he went to investigate by the light of a lamp. After checking the place the guard finds nothing and leaves. When he turns around to leave the chapel a ghost comes out and takes the form of a child. The boy runs after the guard. The guard turns around again, but it is not known what his reaction was or if he saw the ghost child. The ghost boy runs back and disappears into the wall where there is a closed door.

What are all the objects floating around in the video? This is indoors, right? Seems odd to have what appears to be insects flying around inside a funeral home, indoors.
 
My wife has a ghost(?) story:

When she was a kid, she and her mum lived for several years in a remote aboriginal community in the central Australian desert - her mum was working there as a nurse. To give a vague idea of what the place is like - it was around a 10 hour drive from the nearest town. Quite spread out, scatterings of small simple houses & buildings here and there. All electricity was diesel generator powered, only turned on when needed. Mail came in once a week by small plane - someone would go out and light fires in 44-gallon drums alongside the airstrip if the plane was coming in in the dark. Utterly dark at night (I bet the stars looked amazing from there!). The landscape was all low scrub bush, rocky escarpments and lots of red sand. Very dry place, but when it does rain out there, fields of wildflowers spring up overnight & small fish and frogs abound in all the puddles, somehow. My wife has wonderful memories of her time there.

One night around 11pm, after a community gathering, wife and her mum were walking back to their house, a 15 minute walk or so.. Nobody else was around. After a while they realised they'd made a wrong turning and were a bit lost. They kept going. A while later, there was suddenly an old woman standing a way in front of them. She didn't say anything, just looked at them and held her arm out to point in a certain direction off to the side. They were really freaked out. They turned and started walking in the direction she'd pointed, and after a while found themselves back near the houses. Wife says that it was all weird. Later she thought "that lady didn't have any feet". The way she remembers it is that from the legs down, the lady's body faded away to transparency.

When they got back, they saw an old man sitting outside a house. One of the elders who had sort of adopted them into the tribe. (He later gave my wife, then around 10 years old, a dingo pup, because her dog had died. Aside: that man, and several of the other elders there, had very striking light blue eyes, which isn't that common for full-blood australian aborigines, though I've heard of it being a thing in several different places). He beckoned them over and said, "You saw that old lady eh? Don't be afraid, she didn't mean to scare you, she was just warning you cos you were on the path that goes to the burial ground". So then they went home..

And that's the end. She still gets a bit shivery when telling the story, but I love hearing it :)
 
There's a website, Ghosts of North Carolina, but couldn't find it this morning. The Highlands Inn has a number of repots of haunting, but they are prettified, so I updated some of their stories. I lived and worked there for a number of seasons while in college, the last one being quite horrific. Even long-term guests were leaving the place. This was at the time an American Plan hotel, where there were many elderly, wealthy regulars each year, staying there for the entire summer season.
I didn't think too much of it (my experience) at the time, just figured I was reading too many Steven King stories in my off hours. But 2 years later, I visited my sister who was working there and living in the same room. She was experiencing exactly the same, very specific nightmares. I had told NO ONE of the bad, repetitive dreams I had in that room. Ooh, got goosebumps just remembering. But her dreams involved waking with physical marks on her body that corresponded to dream events. She showed me the red, indented rings on her legs, which looked like they'd been tied tightly with dental floss. The dreams were about ritualized, serial dismemberment. I then told her about my dreams. I believe she changed her room after that.
I visited the inn for brunch a few years ago and found it much changed. The restroom was in the basement, a place I didn't even know existed before. I could feel the presence of malevolence down there. Ugh.
This is just one of my ghost stories from that place. More to come...
My sister told me to stay away from places that had contact paper. Maybe just a coincidence about the contact paper, as such places are old structures, and therefore more likely to be haunted.
