Hospitals are often very haunted places; probably due to the
amount of fear, suffering and death within their walls. Psychically-sensitive
people like Dr Mitchell Gibson has had regular encounters with spirits of the
deceased, see:

It's been reported that a member of staff at the Leeds General Infirmary has
recorded evidence of a ghost. Andrew Milburn was texting his girlfriend just
before going on duty for his nightshift last Friday. He took a picture of what
he saw as an empty corridor near the children's ward and when the picture came
out it showed an ethereal human figure on it. The spectre is translucent and
semi-formed and appears to show a girl or small woman walking swiftly towards
the left hand wall of the passage. She is wearing a long dress that looks old-fashioned
in style; it could even be an 1800's nurses' uniform. The LGI dates back to the
19th century, although a lot of rebuilding has been done on the main site
during the hospital's history. I suspect this is a fake. There are even mobile
apps available that allow you to instantly create false ghost photos. Why would
Mr Milburn be taking a photo at all there? It's strictly against regulations; in fact
all personal devices have to be switched off while you're on duty and/or on
site. He claims he saw nothing unusual at the time; then why did he take the
shot in the first place? That being said however, his colleagues at the LGI
have related experiences that are possibly paranormal, as most staff at most
hospitals do; I wouldn't like to entirely discount the notion that a ghost is currently
patrolling the corridors there. I just doubt that this image counts as
evidence. What bugs me most about this news story is that it keeps referring to
Milburn as a "hospital worker"; what the hell does that mean? If he
were a doctor or nurse would he be so described? I have an awful feeling that he
is actually a porter and is ashamed to admit it. This I find very frustrating
and sad, see here for details:
