Hospital Apparition

I have spent year’s ghost hunting, in various locations around the U.S. in strange and dirty dark spots. But last week while sitting with a relative in a large hospital in Jonesboro Ar. Nice and clean with lots of air-conditioning, my wife and I both had separate experiences at the same spot the same night. I have hunted in abandoned hospitals around, in the middle of the night as well as middle of the day. But for some reason it never occurred to me to do it there until we seen what we seen. My wife and I had been taking turns sitting up with the relative. We had a room in the guest house what was a part of the hospital, similar to a hotel room. We had to walk quiet a ways to get to the hospital room from our room, which was all in one building. The hallways in the late evening just have minimum light for the patient comfort. I was on the way to the guest house room a little after 1 a.m. going down the hall. And like everyone you glance in rooms as you go down the hall. As I was walking down the hall I looked off to my left and seen someone in a hospital gown standing by the window of patient room. That is not real common on the floor I was on in the night. I took about two steps and backed up and looked in the room again there he was in the gown by the window and just vanished in front of me. It surprised me a little but did not bother me since I have seen things like this before in other places. I glanced at the room number so I could watch it through out the week. I went on to bed and was laying there thinking about it. What a better place to hunt than an operating hospital, but what about security and the staff? Well being a retired law enforcement officer I figured “covert operation”. When I go home and come back my toys are coming with me. The very next night my wife come to relieve me, the patient was sleeping so we both went to the room. I had never mentioned it to her since she is really experienced plus we were so tired it never came up. Anyway she come to the room and we was talking laying in the bed, during pillow time, she said I need to tell you something, ok, she said when I was coming down the hall on 2 earlier I am sure I seen someone in one of the rooms. I said nothing about what I seen and let her continue. She said I saw a man standing by the window in a room down there and on the left. She continurued saying that he was standing there in a hospital gown looking across the room out the hall, with a blank look in his eyes but I could see the curtains behind him though him, I took a second glance and seen him again and he disappeared. The room was not occupied. I told her I seen the same thing the night before and told her my experience. When we left our room at sun up we walked the same hallway and found it was the same room that we had our experience in... We have kept a close eye on it for over a week and have not seen anything else. This was her first experience seeing an apparition, she was not scared but make her more interested in what I do, I have a feeling she will be more than research person. We are just there in the daytime now and probably not being around at night to investigate more. I have taken some photos of the hallways and stair wells, as well as some evp’s and I will be going through them in the next month as time comes. There are a lot of deaths in a hospital of four hundred beds or so in 24 hours. Some are not ready to go and some are just confused about what to do. If you ever get a chance to sit with a friend or relative in a hospital, don’t dread it make the most of it by doing an investigation. See what you can see and hear what you can hear. Not only does it break the boredom but it is a nice comfortable place to do it in also. Don’t be out in the open with it is my recommendations people think we are crazy anyway.
