Another question would be, if so how come they all gave the same subject- "a young girl".

To save carting charges. You just got two orderlies to dig a hole in the back and pitch the bodies in.

Ugh.
Or cheap real estate on the edge of town, maybe? Seriously, who would go to a hospital that was situated by a cemetery?

I have never seen a hospital next to a graveyard.... the local hospital where I grew up (built long after I left) is 1/2 mile from my church, which has a graveyard, but it's not next to it....

I've been to one. I noted that there was a nice view of it from CICU when my dad was there.

This a thread on a nurse's forum, discussing the haunts and paranormal events that happened during their shifts in hospitals and nursing homes. You'll never look at being in the hospital the same way again and oh, don't read these before you go to bed. Or work a grave shift in a hospital.
