8 TRUE Horror Stories from Hospital Night Shift Workers
Gripping Tales brings you 8 true horror stories from hospital night shift workers who experienced unexplainable events. From an ICU nurse who heard a crying baby in an elevator while transporting a stillborn infant, to patients calling out names of deceased nurses, to residents who see "The Girl in the Closet" days before they die, to bodies that sit up in the morgue, to an elevator named Georgie that responds to voices, to phone calls from abandoned hospital wings—these verified accounts from medical professionals prove that hospitals harbor more than just the living. These stories include documented experiences shared by nurses, orderlies, morgue attendants, and hospital security guards on platforms like Reddit, BuzzFeed, and nursing forums. The crying baby story comes from a 40-year-old ICU nurse with decades of experience. The Georgie elevator phenomenon is documented by multiple staff members at the same facility. Unit 12B phone calls are verified by psychiatric hospital workers across multiple shifts.
