“I work in a cardiac ICU; we have quite a lot of death around here. That being said, we had one patient that comes to mind. … I’ll call him Greg G (fake name).”
“Greg was on the unit for months. … He became a meme around the unit, and everyone loved him, because he was an old white dude who loved rap (2pac and Biggie) and would throw gang signs sarcastically as a non-verbal cue that he was feeling okay (he had a trach in, so he couldn’t talk). He also had his family bring mood lights into his room that synced with his music. I kid you not, his room was playing rap in rave mode sometimes. We called him ‘DJ Greggie G,’ and he loved it.
Unfortunately, he took a turn for the worse. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and ultimately, he died. We were devastated as a unit. His family let us keep his mood lights, and to this day, we keep them plugged in at the nurses station.
However, one day the mood lights turned off. We were saddened. Nobody could get them working. But then, they turned on. We were happy. And then, they started flashing super irrationally. Then, we heard the patient that was in Greg’s old room start screaming.
We went in to check on her. She was a confused old lady who would say some pretty wild things, but this one was weird. She said that she was watching the flashing lights in the hall (she could see them from her room, to be fair), then she said that she saw a silhouette of a man casted into the wall from the lights.
Then, she started … yelling, ‘Tell Greg to leave! It’s not his room anymore! Tell Greg to go!’
There is no way she knew it was Greg’s room. And with her memory being the way it was, there is also no way she would remember even if she did get told. Kinda spooky.”
