5 Responses to “Haunted Hospitals”

   Hi,Im Leonard Low, Im from a small coastal village in Scotland, two years ago I wrote a book about a Witchcraft trial that happened in a nearby village called Pittenweem. The book was called The Weem Witch, and documented the hellish history of twenty six people who were tortured as Witches here.

   To promote the book I did tours in the four story tower where the witches were imprisoned and deliberated over, it is 400 years old with a spiral staircase.

   but six months of tours and things got very interesting, I had a party of 16 people and we went from one floor to another, when on the second floor I was about to start talking again when I was interupted by an american woman, she asked are we not going to wait for the old gentleman? there were only 16 people on the tour ,theres only one way out and I had the key, there was no old man, but no, she protested then others did likewise, a search proved me right, then several photographs proved me wrong, there in the background was an old man ,a cracking pair of sideburns and about 80 years old at least.
   It was the start of many paranormal goings on and still today paranormal groups are fighting each other to gain entry to this forebidding building.

   I spent many months in the London Whittington Hospital with my sick partner and relayed this story to doctors who then directed me to the old lepar colony the Hospital sits on three floors beneath the ground, many incidents had scared the life out of nurses down here.

   Armed to the teeth with cameras I ventured into this part of the Hospital with one of the trustees, we came to a long corridor when the trustee drew her breath, staring at us down the corridor was a yellow ball about 10 yards away getting closer and gettig bigger.

   I bashed away with my camera taking 5 photos before reversing at speed up the stairs.
   what came out in the pictures is as we saw ,a glowing ball getting bigger but by picture 5 here was the unmistakable picture of a small boys face maybe 8 years old, clear as day.

   I never felt threatened, but by christ it was the best laxative known to man, and yes, I will go back ….one day.

   Hello Leonard

   Thanks a lot for writing such an interesting comment to the subject of haunted hospitals.

   Also, I have heard about what happened at Pittenweem. I think we would all agree that it is very disturbing that something like this can still happen in today’s world.

   Hello caretaker,

   what happened in Pittenweem with the Witches, was made to be forgotton, the church denied all, it was pure chance I had the official documents on the case and exposed them with the help of the BBC.

   I have the bills given to the husbands of the destroyed Witches for the torture process and burning of their spouces, it was very expensive about 4 years pay, then the church came and took their properties of them also.

   Today the Church still owns the land taken from these people. No wonder they dont want to talk about what happened?

   I’ve worked in health care for the past seven years or so.

   The first hospital I began working in is run by a group of Nuns. Within the first week I had an experience. Standing with my back to some shelving that we kept supplies on, someone tapped me on the back of the head. I turned to see who was behind me, but there was only the shleves.

   I called out to my co-workers that someone had just tapped me on the back of my head. They instantly told me it must be “the ghost”. Each of them had similar experiences. Mostly seeing shadows, or the image of someone walking just out of the line of sight.

   Before I left that hospital to move on to anohther, I several times saw what appared to be a nun just out of the corner of my eye.
