This was a story that I heard from my friend's mom since she worked at Riverview Hospital (It's a psychiatric hospital for mental patientsin Coquitlam)
n e wayz, in some parts of the old hospital, there are hallways and rooms which aren't visited frequently and these are places where they're more vulnerable to ghosts, poltergeists, and such (since the hospital is really huge).
well, there were incidents from long time ago where the hospital was first built and a few patients had committed suicide. Being unhappy, they're spirits were doomed to remain in the hospital.
A few years ago, a mental patient had complained of ghost sightings he had seen outside his window in the door. Constantly, he (and a few other patients) had complained. My friend's friend's mom (who was a nurse there) had learned to disregard these rantings since it was common among some patients. One night, she had to work a graveyard shift. She had to use one of te elevators so she pushed the elevator button. As she was waiting for the elevator, she could hear the elevator come down but for some strange reason, the elevator doors didn't open. After waiting for a while (and the doors still didn't open even though it was right behind the doors), she decided to take the stairs. The stairs were kinda like those kinds that you find in underground parkings lots (it was just a corridor of stairs and to enter a floor, you had to open a door). Anyways, she was going up the stairs but she could hear some shuffles and groans coming from far below the stairs. She yelled out, "HELLO?" and her voice echoed throuhout the corridor. When no one answered, the shuffling and groaning still continued. At first, she thought that it might have been a patient that had gotten out but that was nearly impossible since most of the corridors were locked out (most places were only card-accessible) and the security there was pretty good. Of course, she got freaked out and got out of the stairways corridor to take the elevator. Anyways, she went to the same elevator (which wasn't working previously) and this time..it worked~! She stepped in. She had mentioned that the elevator was extremely cold and she constantly felt something tug at her hair. The next morning, she made a report that there might have been someone in the corridors. Security cameras showed that no one was in the corridor besides herself at the time.
Afterwards, she couldn't understand what happened so she just disregarded it. Anyways, there were rumours among some of the employees there that they would sometimes go on the elevators and feel something tugging at their hair or clothes...weird |
