Hello most amazing fam! this video is by Abz and Aymz, and no that is not the name of a
motivational fitness podcast.
Hi I’m Abbey.
And I’m Ayman.
And today we are bringing you Top 10 Scary Hospital Horror Stories
Talk about our own hospital experiences?
I had a severe concussion oopsie doopsies *chatter chatter chatter*
Alright no more time to waste, let’s get into it!
Abbey: At number ten, Mass Hallucination This one was posted by a nurse that goes by
RN_Waitress on reddit.
During a 2012 outbreak of fungal meningitis, the acute care floor she was working on had
at least 10-15 meningitis patients.
The floor has a capacity of 20.
Many of meningitis patients were having the same hallucinations.
The nurse wrote that they experienced, “ children in the corners of their rooms and auditory
hallucinations of religious music.”
If you think this was a plank being played by sick patients, then think again.
All of the patients were in isolation with no shared rooms, and no communication between
one another.
What do you think caused it?
Specific parts of the brain the fungal infection was infecting?
Or something else?
Ayman: coming in at number 9 is The Bloodbath.
This one is grusome and shared by a user called Paravell.
They shared they were working their regular night shift in a bone marrow transplant unit
with another nurse.
They had 5 patients and as the other nurse was coming out of room 4 she shared that the
patient in there had died a grusome death.
He was slated and approved to go home but that night the nurses heard the sound of someone
falling.
They went in to check on him and saw nothing but blood.
The man had pulled out his own central line and there was blood everywhere it was a bloodbath
game of thrones red wedding style.
He died right there and then and no one knew why he did it.
But get this.
A few weeks later a little old lady gets moved into that room and she asks if anyone had
died in there.
The nurse brushed it off saying people die in the hospital all the time but the old lady
replied by saying no i think i young guy died in here because hes talking to me right now.
Now this woman also has a central line and later that night the nurse goes in to check
on her.
Again an utter blood bath, her central line had been cut, not pulled out like the other
guy it was proper cut.
There were no scissors in the room and the lady said ‘he did it’.
Abbey: Next at number eight, false hope This one comes from an ER nurse who spoke
from a now deleted account on reddit.
She had an old lady stay in the ER overnight that was near death.
They saw the signs, irregular breaths, barely responsive, pale and cool, so they turned
the lights down and kept an eye on her monitor.
They searched and couldn’t find any family, plus she was a DNR: do not resuscitate.
So, the writer says they were basically waiting for her to die.
She was close.
Then an hour later, all of a sudden, she’s standing at the door of her room with all
of her clothes back on.
Apparently she was hungry so they got her food, and while she ate, the old woman talked
to the staff a little.
Then, she told her nurse she was tired and wanted to lie back down, and within 30 minutes
she was dead.
This surge of energy is called rallying before death and it’s not uncommon.
But it is unnerving seeing so much life in a person before death.
Ayman: now at Number 7 is Speak Back to Me. this story comes from a travel nurse called
Courtney and if you dont know what a travel nurse its basically a nurse that travels across
the country and works at a new hospital every 5 weeks.
Courtney shared that she was working at an ICU at the time and she had a patient there
that would only repeat what was said to her and nothing else.
That day Courtney was with her all night and she started telling her all the ways she had
apparently died.
Saying things like I died because I took too much insulin, i died because of a narcotic
overdose, i died on a sunny sunday afternoon and so on.
Courtney kind of brushed it off as the patient was troubled but then she looked up at the
ceiling and said theyre all still here.
At that point Courtney was like im gonna up the hell out of here and ran out of the room.
If that was me id be like medicate honey, im not here to be hearing you talk about the
ghosts of deaths past.
Im here to do my job and leave.
She further shared that once she was caring for a blind patient who continuously asked
her what time it was all night.
She left and came back a while later to check in and all the patient said was its the witching
hour.
Court looked at the time, saw it was 3:33 and walked out.
And hopefully never returned.
Abbey: alright onto number six, a shriek and a goatman
Now, this isn’t the shrieking goat like from that taylor swift cover.
This is a story that comes from the mother of dangermuus on reddit.
She was on night shift in a hospital in Arizona going room to room when an old lady told her
about a goat man trying to get through the doors.
The woman was an insomniac, so she didn’t think anything of if.
Then a blood curdling shriek rang out that people heard all around the hospital.
People were freaked and then a few looked out the windows, where they find hoof marks
by the doors and windows, with no trails leading to or from them.
That insomniac clearly knew something was up and it must’ve been the goatman causing
that shriek right?
Either himself or through nefarious means.
*raise eyebrow???*
Ayman: Filling our number 5 slot is The Hallucination.
This ones from reddit user whites42 who worked as an ICU nurse.
She shared that a woman in her 20s had come in with serious cardiac abnormalities and
then abruptly went into respiratory distress.
She was put on a ventilator and was sedated just enough to keep her lucid.
She could nod to answer questions and thats all they needed in that moment.
A few nights later the patient in the room next to hers died but the body was yet to
be taken to the morgue.
The girls room door was closed and the male patients curtain was drawn so they never met
nor saw each other.
The nurse went to check on the woman and she looked like she was about to die.
She was in pure panic mode and the nurse asked her if she was cold in pain warm and she said
no to everything.
She then asked if she saw something and she started nodding aggressively.
And mind you just because she was sedated that didnt mean she would hallucinate.
She started probing and asking questions to try and figure out what she was seeing and
she found out she was seeing a caucasian bald man missing his left arm.
The nurse freaked out when she realised the patient was seeing the ghost of the man who
had died in the room right next to her.
Abbey: At number 4, followed by death This comes from another deleted account on
reddit.
A staff member at a skilled nursing facility was typically working in the Alzheimer’s
ward and had a troubling string of experiences.
Firs, they hear someone shuffle behind than and feel someone put a hand on their shoulder
while in a linen closet.
But they turn around and no one is there and the door is still closed.
Then, another lady began to complain for two weeks straight, every night, that a man was
coming into her room at night.
That being the Alzheimer’s ward, the author didn’t take it too seriously, saying they’d
check in on her throughout the night.
And the end of the two weeks of complaining, the staff member asked what the man looked
like.
The woman said, “He's real handsome, and wears a black suit.
Oh.
He's right behind you now, honey.”
Which justifiably freaked the writer of this story out.
There was no one behind them.
And as for the old lady, she died the next night in her sleep.
Ayman: At number 3 is The Grim Reaper.
This ones from redditor ScaryKerry91476 and boy oh boy are you guys not ready for this
one.
So Kerry is an intensive care nurse and she shared that back in 1999 she was in a 12 bedded
ITU in London.
She was in charge of the nurses station and she looked up to see a man coming through
the double doors of the unit.
And that image just stuck in her mind even 20 years later, it was like he had been plucked
out of 1974 and dropped into 1999.
He was wearing cord pants, a check shirt with a patterned tank top on top and platform shoes.
He looked about 30 years old and he just very calmly walked towards the bay of patients.
Now Kerry had no idea who he was so she asked him and he responded by nodding and continued
walking.
Alright.
He went and stopped at the end of a patients bed and just looked at them.
He didn't touch them, no contact, he just made eye contact.
The patient was sick but very stable but as the man was looking at them, they suddenly
started deteriorating in front of Kerry's eyes.
Staff rushed over to assist him and they were just acting like the man wasn't even there
and with that exited as calmly as he had come in.
the patient ended up dying and Kerry asked the assisting staff who the man was and none
of them had seen him or remembered any man walking in that day.
So Kerry thoroughly believed she saw the grim reaper at work that day.
Abbey: For my last one, at Number two we have a c-section nightmare
It comes from P As In Peter on Reddit, who had a traumatizing experience while getting
a c-section.
She said that when the doctors were preparing to close her she had blood splash on her face.
She wrote that one of the doctors working on her “must have dropped one of [her] organs”.
Um, HELLO?!
This woman was simultaneously giving life and being reminded that hers is fragile.
She at least had a good attitude about it, because she said her family got their money’s
worth from the anesthesiologist who wiped the blood from her face and glasses.
The miracle of life ladies and gentlemen.
Ayman: and last but not least at our number 1 spot is The Repetition.
This ones from redditor cambrewer who was a 4th year nursing student when this happened
to them.
She was sitting for a 28 year old woman who was going through alcohol withdrawal and it
was the 3rd day which is scientifically the worst.
And sitting is basically when you sit by a patient that could be a danger to themselves
or others and this woman was fully restrained like hands and feet bound.
She was shouting racial slurs at the nurse and spitting on her and after a while started
straight up hallucinating.
She thought she was in her car driving with her 2 kids in the back and she kept begging
the nurse to take the wheel.
She then explained this car crash in vivid detail and saying her son had died.
She kept crying and apologising and repeatedly kept asking the nurse to hadn her the body
of her dead son.
She was sedated and when that wore off the same hallucinations happened again.
The same scenario happened 8 times in this woman's 12 hour shift and after hearing it
enough times she realised it wasn't a hallucination at all.
This was something that she had actually done but was replaying in her mind in
this delirious state.
OUTRO Alright everybody, that’s our top ten scary
hospital horror stories.
Now, in general I never want to be in a hospital because that generally means either someone
I know or myself is sick, but these stories seal the deal for me.
Props to those in the field of medicine for what you do *send props lmao*
