Inspired to write about ghosts in hospitals

I always remember my first stint of night duty as a fresh green 1st year nursing student.
It was in the old colonial hospital in Gibraltar, also known as St Bernard's hospital.
It was an ancient building, full of history and stories of ghostly apparitions aplenty.
I was working on the male medical ward., John ward.
It was an acute medical ward taking admissions of all sorts, Cardiac, Respiratory, Gastro etc.
Shirts were from 8pm to 8am and there were only 2 of us on duty on a night shift with the night sister popping around at 10pm and 2am on her rounds.

The shift had been particularly eventful and we'd had two deaths on the ward that night.

8am was approaching and the day shift were trickling in.  Pale and bleary eyed from a nights sleep, we looked pale and bleary eyed from the lack of sleep.
The charge nurse asked how the night had panned out?
I gave him a quick summary,  including the two deaths and what he said after changed me.
'Did you see the Nun? '
' what Nun? ' was my reply... Intrigued.
He continued to tell me the story of the Nun of Death that appeared every time someone passed away on the ward.

I never did get to see her but she inspired me to write Phantasms in the Infirmary decades later.
The story also made me very uneasy on night shifts from then on...  Unsurprisingly!

First book is available in Spanish too..

Frighteningly good stories

The following is a taster of Phantasms in the Infirmary...

She entered the room which was extremely cold and uncomfortable; she could sense evil and then focused. She was now looking at a dark figure of a child; well it looked like a child. It was kneeling on the young patient’s chest with its hands firmly placed over the patient’s nose and mouth . Rosie , still groggy from the barbiturate cocktail, was not struggling. The monitor indicated that her heart was racing, tachycardic from the stress she was now enduring and there was no respiratory effort being made , how could there with a demonic obstruction on her chest and airways.

Update

I have just updated my Author Page on Amazon.

Its been a while since I visited this page so it needed a freshen up.

I have re-jigged the profile information and added some news about the up coming new book, well one of them that is nearly complete and awaiting some edits..

It should be out before Christmas, another ghost for Xmas... not competing with Charles Dickens though, far from it!!

Anyway, please enjoy the edit and when you read the books, please leave a review....

Catch you on the flip side..

All the best
