Haunted Hospital Slated For Exorcism

Posted by Shannon LC Cate at 8:30 AM on February 3, 2009

Imagine this, you have just delivered your baby and are awakened in your hospital bed for a 2:00 am feeding. You reach for your baby, when, out of the corner of your eye, you see a figure dressed in a long black cape come through the wall and towards you and your newborn. Are you dreaming? Is it the pain medication? Or is it a ghost?

Hospital employees at the new Royal Hospital of Derby, England are convinced the halls of their workplace are haunted. The hospital, built on the grounds of an older one, and over the ruins of an ancient Roman road, is thought to be of interest to the spirit who died in the are hundreds of years ago.

In response to the fears and concerns of her employees, a hospital administrator has contacted the local bishop to consult him about arranging for an exorcism of the department in which the ghost is thought to lurk.

What do you think? Are ghosts real? Whether they are or not, is it appropriate to conduct an exorcism in the workplace? Tell us about all your own hauntings and ghost sightings. Or tell us we’re crazy…

    What does exorcism really accomplish? It drives a dark, broken and negative spirit out of one place and to another, to afflict someone else. And does nothing to bring the light to the dark spirit, does nothing to heal the spirit.

    The hospital, the spirit and the world need more healing ceremonies, fewer exorcisms… Just like the world needed fewer leper colonies and more antibiotics.

    In workplaces and homes, need Prayers as well. Nothing to worry or fear about by negative thinking about Ghosts or evil spirit. Jesus will be there in all of our life. So fear and anxiety is trick by Dark powers/devils. Be happy and confidence and belief him.
    May God bless you.
