I work the evening shift at a hospital that is believed to be, at least
by 90% of the staff, haunted. I'm part of the 90%. You see, there have
been horror stories about every building, floor, and pretty much every
part of the campus. I mostly wander around alone (housekeeper), and that
makes it that much worse... at least when my mind is on it, usually I
don't think about it.

My personal experience was back in the ultrasound wing of the Radiology
clinic. By the time I get around to that area, the lights automatically
dim and there isn't anything I can do about it. It's always spooky back
there at night, so I usually just get done what I need to and move on.
The place is kind of shaped like a J, like a long hallway that curves
around. On the inner side of the curve there's a dressing room that
opens up to a mammography suite, and then opens again to the top of the
J (if your standing at the bottom of the J, you can see through the
doors of both rooms to the top of the J). I was standing back there,
tying a bag on my cart, when something moved in the corner of my eye. I
looked up and through the dressing and mamo rooms to the other doorway
opposite me.

Vividly, I remember it like it was today, a male figure walks past the
door, right before my eyes. I literally watched it amble slowly across
my field of vision. There are no male ultrasound techs here, and it was
NOT my boss. It looked like it was wearing dark clothing, and had long
hair, but it was definitely male. I snapped out of it and ran over to
see if some freak had wandered in, but no one was there. I grabbed my
stuff and ran out without finishing all the work. 'Cause screw that.

Another story, not my personal experience, comes from the second floor
of the hospital. Second floor has nothing but offices and computer labs,
all adjacent to one corridor that spans the entire length of the
building. On one end is a set of elevators, and the other are a pair of
double-doors that open into a computer lab.

This floor is infamous for being the domain of something the workers
affectionately call "Matilda." The first story I heard about her was
from a coworker who knew someone that worked on that floor. He came in
for whatever reason, doing office stuff, and was going home late one
night. He walks out of the office and starts toward the elevators when
something catches his eye, so he turns toward the computer lab. At the
end of the hallway there's what looks like a patient peeking into the
lab. He walks towards her and asks who she is and what floor she came
from. She turns around...

She has no face.

Office guy is frozen in place, scared shitless. He wants to run away,
but he doesn't want to turn his attention away from whoever, or
whatever, is staring him down from the other end of the hall. What does
he do instead? He closes his eyes as tight as he can. After several
seconds, minutes, or however long it really was, he opens them and she's
gone. He says he's never ran as fast in his life as he did that night,
straight outside without ever looking back.

Another "Matilda" happening was when one of the managers left a tape
recorder going in his office, also on Second floor, because he wanted to
see if he could catch any weird noises or voices. The next day, I'm
walking by his office with a coworker and he calls us in there and plays
the recording, to see if we hear it, too. After forever with nothing, a
faint voice comes in and says "Turn it off." That was spooky as hell.

There are a lot more stories than that about the hospital from hell, but
that's all I got time for right now. More than willing to share more
later.
