The Paranormal Blog

One of the first lectures on the topic of ghosts, and hauntings that Matthew gave was at Ryerson University here in Toronto, and was more than ten years ago. What really stood out about this particular speaking engagement was it was heavily attended by nurses, and nursing students some even wearing their nursing scrubs making their occupation and/or course of study very obvious to the casual observer.

Later we thought of course, its obvious why so many nurses attended .... while cemeteries are overly represented in ghostly fiction, in reality it is hospitals, hospices, and long term care facilities that tend to yield more reports of hauntings than any other type of public building. It is also therefore no wonder that we have more health care providers volunteering for PSICAN then any other profession.

Nursing is a demanding profession and requires much care and dedication. Many of these hospital ghosts are not former patients, but nurses still seen in there scrubs clothing or old fashioned uniforms roaming the corridors and still caring for their patients long after they are physically gone.
