Speaker A (00:00):
Hello, my spooky friends.
This is John from Dairyland Frights, and
welcome to the first episode of Night LandFrights.
These episodes will only cover the mostcreepy, spooky, and mysterious stories of the
(00:23):
Internet.
From my guest on Dairyland frights, as well as
original writing from myself and other writersthat I invite to give me their work so I can
scare you.
So remember, run, hide, scream, repeat.
(00:46):
So welcome to the first story where somenurses are, let's just say, having some issues
with the dead and the paranormal.
Speaker B (01:01):
I'm a psychiatric nurse and early in my career I worked at a residential mental
health facility.
One of our residents was an elective mute,
which means that he didn't, wouldn't, couldn'ttalk.
But there were no medical reasons as to why.
He had spoken earlier in his life and seemed
(01:24):
quite normal back then, except for being closeto 7ft tall.
He'd been raised in the deep south and joinedthe military when he was 19.
But one night he vanished.
He was declared awol and eventually he was
declared missing.
Indeed, ten years later, a seven foot tall man
(01:45):
walked into a VA hospital emergency room in mypart of the midwest and said to the
receptionist, my name is Marian Duchene.
Not the real name and I've been dead for ten
years.
Those were the last words he ever spoke.
He was covered with dust and he was wearingthe same clothes he'd been reported to be
wearing the night he vanished.
(02:06):
His Social Security number had not been used
and he had no identification on his person.
However, they were able to identify him, I
guess via fingerprints.
The family was notified, but they said they
had already grieved their lost man and thatwhoever was claiming to be him simply could
not be.
(02:27):
They demanded not to be contacted again.
Marion paced all day, every day, moving hismouth that looked like talking or muttering,
but no sound came out.
He had an unnerving habit of throwing his head
back with his mouth wide open, as if he werelaughing heartily, but not even a breath could
(02:49):
be heard.
If I talked to him, he appeared to listen,
periodically throwing his head back in thatlaughter mimicking way of his various
medications were tried, but they did notaffect him either positively or negatively.
Occupational therapy did nothing becauseMarion would just grin and unless told to stay
(03:13):
put, he'd get up and start pacing again.
On my last day at that job, the last thing I
saw was Marion pacing in the parking lot,throwing his head back to laugh.
Later, I wondered if all along I'd beendealing with a ghost.
All these years later, I still don't know.
Speaker A (03:36):
Did that story scare you about the dead?
Well, if that didn't, what about a story abouta demon?
Speaker C (03:52):
I worked as a forensic nurse in a hospital's lockup unit.
We had one older lady who swore she was beinghaunted and abused by a demon she would call
Tiberius.
So many crazy things happened while she was on
the unit.
We'd go into the room, do normal care, leave,
and seconds later, she'd start screaming****** murder.
We'd run into the room to find her lookinglike she'd been in a fight with a boxing
(04:14):
champ.
****** lip, black eye markings all over her
body.
No one ever saw her doing this stuff to
herself.
Things would get moved around the room by
themselves.
At one point, she was in protective restraints
because the doctor thought she was hurtingherself.
There was no way she could have moved or doneanything to herself while in these restraints.
But new marks would always appear or her traycart would be across the room.
(04:38):
The room was secure, so there was no waysomeone else was doing this.
When we asked her questions, she'd just say itwas Tiberius.
After she was discharged, we always hadtrouble with that room.
If there was going to be a rapid response orcode, it happened in that room.
One night, a guard reported lights blinking onand off.
(04:58):
It was that room.
Speaker A (05:03):
I'm here now to read the next few stories.
And again, these involve nurses and nurses atnight, in sometimes the witching hour.
So let's start with the first creepy story.
(05:26):
Invisible presence in the ICU.
My most unsettling experience stemmed fromdays in the ICU.
Specifically within two spacious roomspreviously designed for multiple patients.
But for the past several decades have beenrepurposed for ECMO.
(05:53):
Due to the necessity for ample equipment,these chambers witnesses countless moments of
human fragility have been theaters tooverwhelming number of inexplicable events.
Though it is common for older fixtures withinthe hospital to randomly malfunction, peculiar
(06:19):
occurrences seem to haunt these rooms with adisquieting frequency.
Imagine call bells that ring without a caller.
Televisions that flicker to life on their own.
Or motion activated sanitizers and paper toweldispensers, startling the silence reacting to
(06:47):
an unseen presence.
Occasionally, I'll have to go to investigate
the source of a strange sound in these rooms.
Each time I have to silence a call bell or
power down a tv, a prickling awareness crawlsover me.
(07:09):
A chilling question nipping at my heels.
Am I truly the only one here?
One time, the mysterious culprit was actuallya member of the housekeeping staff in a
slightly cleaning a call bell.
(07:30):
But in other instances, I faced an empty room
where the stillness spoke volumes.
Each encounter, without fail, sends an icy
shiver skating down my spine.
So that was very spooky, being in those rooms
(07:51):
all alone and things happening where you don'thave the answer.
So the next frightening tale is unseen forcesat the nursing station.
It was well past midnight, and there I was,focused on charting alone at the nurses
(08:17):
station in an older nursing home.
Out of nowhere, all the charts flew off the
shelf and pushed it, as pushed by invisiblehands.
I was out of there so fast, I snatched up mybelongings and ran to the other station.
(08:39):
Never in my career had I witnessed such anexplainable phenomenon, especially since the
shelf was perfectly intact on the wall.
I insisted on company for the rest of the
(09:01):
night.
That is another spooky tale by a nurse.
And now my last tale is the unsettling tale ofColleen's last escape.
(09:25):
During my tenure as a nurse manager at acommunity nursing home, I encountered an
inexplicable occurrence while covering for asick supervisor during the night shift.
At precisely zero to 50, an unnerving symphonybegan as every door alarm simultaneously
(09:51):
erupted in a frantic, buzzing.
Initial disbelief led me to suspect a system
malfunction.
Because the scenario of multiple residents
attempting an escape seemed implausible, Irallied my team, particularly the newer
members, to inspect each door.
(10:12):
The relentless alarms persisted for an
agonizing 20 minutes until a veteran CNAcertified nurse assistant returned from her
break.
She assessed the chaos, the alarms, and then
me, clutching the control box and declaredmatter of factly, open the window.
(10:36):
Colleen wants out.
Skepticism made her insistence seem like a
dark joke.
But her intensifying urgency couldn't be
ignored.
She grew angry.
Open the window.
I opened the window.
In an instant, the alarm ceased across everyfloor, right down to the basement.
(11:03):
And all was quiet again.
The memory send shivers down my spine to this
day, heightened by the image of an openwindow's curtains billowing as though as a
presence had swept through them, chasing anunseen escape.
Colleen, as it turned out, was a senatorianpioneer resident of our home, passing away at
(11:30):
the age of 108 with Nokin to mourn her.
That night, it seemed she had one last journey
to make.
Well, I hope you enjoyed those spooky stories.
Real spooky stories from trusted nurses.
(11:53):
And this link I will put in the episode is
from the trusted team, where you can read someother spooky stories about nurses.
And again, if you have any stories that youmight be a nurse or know any nurses with some
spooky stories, please send them todairylandfrites@gmail.com so I hope you sleep
(12:18):
with the light on tonight, and I hope you waitfor the shadows to appear.
And remember.
Run, hide, scream, repeat.
Thank you for listening to Nightland frights.
(12:39):
Hello, my spooky friends.
I've decided to scare you even more and giveyou a bonus from one of my episodes of
Derryland Frights.
One of my guests from a phantom paranormal
listen to her story about a little girl's roomin a demon.
(13:02):
Again, thank you for listening to nightlandfrights.
Speaker D (13:08):
The experiences.
But while we've been talking, has anything
entered your mind that you recall that has,again, anything really spooky that you can
remember?
Speaker E (13:23):
Well, I did someone's apartment, and her daughter would not sleep in her room.
And she's, like, ten years old.
I'm trying to figure out, why won't she sleep
in her room?And they lived there, like, nine years, and
(13:43):
she still won't sleep in her room.
So I went there, did an investigation, and the
second I walked into the mom's room, I feltbad energy, especially in the closet.
Speaker D (13:57):
Okay.
Speaker E (13:58):
And then when I walked into the daughter's room, immediately I saw a demonic
creature crouching down on the daughter'sbookshelf where all her stuffed animals were
sitting.
There's, like, a space between the stuffed
animals, and that's where they were sitting?
Speaker A (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker D (14:21):
Wow. And when you say demonic, very interesting.
Speaker A (14:26):
Yeah.
Speaker D (14:27):
How do you know it was demonic?
Speaker E (14:28):
Because of the way it was, the eyes, the red eyes, and the way it was shaped,
the way it was looking at me, its energy.
And then I looked in the closet, and there was
a tall man in there crouching.
It wasn't really crouching.
(14:49):
He was just kind of bent over under the shelf,standing up.
You lam.
