Exorcist Being Summoned To Drive Away ‘ghost Haunting a British Hospital’

by Gopalan on January 31, 2009 at 12:20 PM General Health News

Authorities of a British hospital are summoning an exorcist to drive away the ghost that is supposedly haunting the premises.

It is a brand-new £334million Royal Derby Hospital, but the staff claim to have sighted ‘a male ghost’ several times and hence are unnerved.

There is speculation that the figure could be a Roman soldier killed there as the old Derby City General Hospital was built in the 1920s over part of a Roman road.

One source told The Sun: ’Several people have seen a male figure cloaked from head to toe in black darting between rooms and through walls - especially in departments near the morgue.

The number of staff complaints prompted an email from senior manager Debbie Butler where she outlined the plan to bring in an exorcist.

She wrote: ’I’m not sure how many of you are aware that some members of staff have reported seeing a ghost.

’I’m taking it seriously as it is affecting some members of staff and the last thing I want is staff feeling uneasy at work.

’I don’t want to scare anyone any more than necessary, but felt it was best I made you all aware of the situation and what we are doing about it.

’I’ve spoken to the Trust’s chaplain and she is going to arrange for someone from the cathedral to exorcise the department.’

The building is officially known as the City General, but will be officially renamed in the next few months.

I personally think it's the Grim Reaper. Think about it. Male. Wears all black. Hangs out near the morgue. Where else would you expect a Grim Reaper type ghost to spend his time?
