The Paranormal Blog

Once many years ago on the old Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society web forums we did an informal poll that overwhelmingly indicated that our readership at least at that time was made up of a lot of health care workers, and professionals. This was particularly true of the front line hospital staff.

So why the interest in these topics (more specifically ghosts and hauntings) you may be wondering? We believe the answer lies in the fact that hospitals continue to rank #1 in our own findings of most haunted places (meaning more reports per location). It is not unusual at all to get reports in of specters wearing medical uniforms or old fashioned looking doctors lab coats roaming the halls of some of the cities older medical buildings. In fact reports are indicative of that perhaps these spirits are still tending to their duties long after they themselves are gone.

While we keep most of our reports in our private offline files to protect privacy, and to insure patient comfort we can comfortably say that we have reports from every hospital within the Greater Toronto Area, which is not the case of cemeteries, nor funeral homes. Perhaps this is a testament to the dedication of the health care providers that their spirit still lingers.

Speaking of nursing and other medical staff, here is an online source to check out for discount medical scrubs that might be of interest to some of our readers.

Happy Holidays & Happy Hauntings!
