Haunted Hospital Slated For Exorcism

Shannon LC Cate

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.
