told by those who've experienced the unexplained firsthand. Brace yourself
(00:27):

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Welcome to ghost Story Podcast. I'm your host, author Eve s. Evans.
I invite you to explore the realm of the supernatural
with me, from haunted houses to ghostly apparitions. We're going
to uncover the secrets behind the unexplained. Join us as
we listen attentively to individuals who have faced the spectral unknown,
(01:30):
sharing their spine chilling experiences and the lingering questions that
still haunt them. Get ready to confront the paranormal and
discover the truth behind each bone chilling tale. And with that,
let's begin.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Have you ever gone through something at a job and
you know that from there on out there is absolutely
no way you will ever work there again. That is
what happened to me when I was a first year
medical student. The situation was so traumatizing that I just
up and walked down. I haven't decided to change my
major in order to avoid working in a hospital ever again,
and being a doctor had been my lifelong dream. It
(02:09):
was just after seven PM and I was working down
in the morgue with one of the two medical examiners.
For the purpose of the story, we'll call him Frank.
Frank was really good at his job. He noticed a
lot of things that other examiners would have missed, which
gave the doctors in our hospital excellent information as to
why a patient had died. That has helped them save
the next person and gave our hospital one of the
(02:31):
highest savor rates in the entire nation. Frank and I
were just finishing up some paperwork before we were going
home for the evening, when all of a sudden, an
awful smell seemed to fill the room and force its
way up my nostrils. I admit, at first I thought
Frank had just had a really potent gas attack, But
when he looked over at me with the same accusatory
(02:52):
stare I'm sure I was giving him I had a
sneaking suspicion it wasn't him. Both of us were covering
our noses with our hands and when to the wall
to hit the exhaust fan to pull out the noxious smell.
I'd been around some pretty disgusting things in my time
in med school, but this was on another level. The
fan quickly came to life with a loud, warring noise
as it did its best to bring in fresh air.
(03:14):
Almost two minutes passed, and from the few whiffs I
had taken, it didn't seem as if there had been
any improvement. I didn't know how this was possible, since
I'd been in this room when we needed it before,
and this was more than enough time for it to
do its job. As I stood there, I began to
hear something else With the fan going, it was almost inaudible.
The thumbing sound seemed to be coming from somewhere in
(03:35):
the room. Frank seemed to be hearing it too, since
he was looking around trying to locate its source. I
asked Frank if it was possible that some animal had
gone trapped inside the air system, but he told me
that it was impossible since the more required a separate
and secure air circulation system. Given the possible air particles
that could contaminate the hospital, it was clear that the
(03:58):
fan was doing nothing to help our situation, so I
went over and hit the switch, killing the van. It
also made the thumping noise much clearer and allowed us
to locate its source. To both of our surprises, it
was coming from one of the refrigerated drawers. When I
walked over to the drawer to read the tag, I
noticed the smell somehow got even more potent. Most importantly,
(04:22):
the banging coming from the other side of the door
was louder. The name belonged to an elderly woman who
had died the day before due to complications from pneumonia.
If the refrigeration system had gone out, it might explain
the smell, given the decomposation rate of the bodies. Still,
that didn't explain the knocking coming from inside. By then,
(04:44):
Frank was already by my side, a perplexed look plastered
on his face. He was obviously as stunned by this
whole thing as I was. Both of us put on
a couple of masks in hopes of keeping whatever microbes
were filling the air from infecting us. I think we
both knew we had opened the but I wasn't in
any hurry to figure out what was happening inside. Frank
(05:05):
was a senior here, so the task of actually opening
the door was on him. With a jerky yank the
latch and the door flew open, but nothing happened. I
could clearly feel the cold air coming from inside, and
there was no concentrated smell of decay permeating from it either.
None of this made sense. I could see the body
lying face up, with the white sheet covering her from
(05:25):
head to toe. Nothing seemed to miss but I decided
to pull her out and give her a quick once
over in case something was wrong. The metal was freezing
to the touch, but it slid out smoothly then locked
into place. None of that mattered, though, since all I
could focus on was the place on the sheet covering
the dead woman's mouth. It was moving up and down,
almost like she was breathing. Do you see that? I
(05:47):
asked him. The only response, though, was a few slow
nods of the head. This should be impossible, but both
of us were singing it with our own eyes. If
I hadn't been with someone I know, no one would
have believed me. Frank's hand shook as he reached out
to pull back the sheet. My own hand shot out
and grabbed it before he could, though, and her eyes locked,
(06:08):
an entire conversation happening in a matter of seconds. I
knew this was a bad idea, but he also knew
we had no choice. When I let go, he took
hold of the white fabric and slowly drew it back.
The first thing I noticed was her forehead. It was
nearly white from the blood settling in the lower half
of the body, which was normal after death. But how
(06:31):
could it appear as if she was breathing. He pulled
the sheet another few inches and I could see her
mouth was open in what appeared to be a silent scream.
I reached out to close it when what looks like
fifteen to twenty flies erupted from inside of her mouth,
followed by the most potent smell of rotten eggs I'd
ever experienced. It was so sudden and unexpected. Both of
(06:51):
us jumped back at least five feet. What I was
saying was impossible. The cold temperatures would have made it
impossible for the eggs to hatch, even if they had
been there To make matters worse. I felt a gust
of air pass by me and towards the door, and
then everything went still. The small was gone, and the
fly seemed to have vanished into thin air. To think
that the flying insects would have all found their way
(07:12):
out of the room so quickly was hard to believe,
if not impossible. Did that just happen? I asked, but
Frank seemed too stunned to answer. I pushed the door
back in and slammed the door shut. The loud noise
jolted Frank back to reality, and he began looking around
as if unsure of where he was. To be honest,
(07:33):
I'm not sure how I was able to keep myself
together to even shut the woman back inside. That night,
when I went home, I thought long and hard about
what I'd seen and experienced. It was something that I
knew would stick with me for a long time, if
not the rest of my life. To risk such things
as that happening on a regular basis wasn't something I
was really interested in. So why I decided on going
(07:54):
into teaching. Sure, I spent a number of years wanting
to be a doctor, but if it met avoiding some
level and spirit then it was something I was more
than willing to do, and I am more than aware
that nightmares are dreams too,

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
