About this ebook

A paramedic and paranormal investigator takes readers on a terrifying tour of haunted hospitals, asylums, and medical facilities across the globe.

Hospitals are the nexus point between life and death, the place into which people enter this world, but also exit it. When we consider what has taken place behind the closed doors of hospitals since the inception of the medical profession, it should come as no surprise to discover that so many of them are haunted. In The World's Most Haunted Hospitals, paramedic and paranormal investigator Richard Estep recounts some of the most fascinating—and chilling—stories of hospital hauntings from across the globe, including:

• The apparitions at an old Utah hospital, now a nursing home, whose appearances are said to predict a patient's death.
   
• The Italian island referred to by locals as "the gateway to Hell," where the spirits of thousands of plague victims prowl the streets.
   
• The terrifying phenomena that keep visitors away from an abandoned airbase hospital in the Philippines.
   

The ghostly nurse who has haunted the corridors of a London hospital for generations.
