My grandmother was once a head nurse in a hospital. She told me and my siblings stories of the emergencies she took care of, the people she met, and such. We find it very entertaining and sometimes very creepy. This is what we found, personally, the eeriest.

My grandma's name was Lauren. She was a very religious person, being a Catholic. She prays daily for her patients, why she's also nicknamed "The Saint" at her hospital.

My grandmother started her morning shift at about 2:00 AM. She received a call from a close friend, Jamie, also a head nurse, since there was a serious emergency. She was asked to go to Room 328 to check on a patient. When grandma asked Jamie of the patient's sickness, she replied, "I have seen nothing like this before, demonic."

Lauren was agitated since she looked up to Jamie as an expert when it came to classifying sicknesses or disorders. When they were still in nursing school, they were classmates, and Jamie was the class valedictorian. She couldn't believe that despite being a head nurse, Jamie could not be able to medically describe the disease.

Lauren quickly went to Room 328. A  "naked, anorexic, woman with black corneas and white hair, and skin so stretched you could see the bones.", Lauren described. Immediately when the patient noticed her presence, she screamed and chanted in different languages. She vomited a red-orange mixture of ooze and some fragments of metal. "Except for the patient wrist tag, she was completely naked", Lauren continued.

She was Hepzibah Cadell, she was 64 years old. She was brought in by a nurse that was just taking a lunch break outside the hospital when she noticed Cadell walking around the street, limply. The nurse asked her name and quickly brought her inside the hospital.

Cadell was put into her hospital bed when she started to shake uncontrollably and scream. She was restrained eventually, but Cadell furiously attacked the assistants who helped restrain her. She was said to have bitten most of them angrily. A nurse tried to sedate her, and Cadell ended the life of the nurse by biting her head which leads to losing parts of the victim's brain. That's when Jaime called Lauren.

Lauren figured that if she killed the patient, she would put a stop to her killing more people. She took it as a coup de grace and took out a pair of medical scissors. Before she could stab her, Cadell screamed very loudly and forced the other medical personnel, including her, in the room to drop their materials, which included grandma's scissors.

Cadell suddenly disappeared and left blood stains on the wall, forming letters that said, "I will return." She also managed to leave a mark on the stomachs of each person in the room a sign, a star inscribed within a circle which is commonly affiliated with the devil.

The people inside Cadell's room were put to immediate emergency. They were treated but g randma's' mark never really disappeared. The next day, when our grandma returned to her old home, her bed was soaking with blood and red-orange vomit. She prayed the Rosary that night, being a Catholic. She told me that Cadell never stopped  haunting  her ever since.

The next month, grandma saw Cadell again in a dream. She was carrying bloody scissors and was seen wearing a black cloak, smiling and laughing. She had a Glasglow grin and a plastic-like stature. She only said, "I always return."

The hospital knew about Cadell's incident. They were very intrigued and scared of the happenings that they even paid her "homage" by adding her name to a mental illness laboratory, Cadell Laboratory.

Some say that the hospital burnt Cadell's  hospital bed to ashes, then put them hidden in a jar somewhere inside in order "for the evil spirit to go away", as grandma's coworkers say. Granny told us that she doesn't believe in their stories.

Grandma also had some more patients in that same room, but she told us that every patient she medicated there always end up dead for some reason.

Eventually, the hospital locked the room, being superstitious and all, but there are still people that say they have witnessed strange beings inside the closed room.

Up to this day, Cadell always haunted grandma with the same recurring dream over and over again.
