I used to work in an old catholic hospital. Where the labor and delivery unit is located now, it used to be the convent for the nuns that worked at this hospital. One of the nuns died of natural causes years ago. This nun loved and raised numerous varieties of roses. Ever since the OB department was moved to this area, anytime a mother or baby is having difficulties you can smell the scent of roses throughout the whole unit. The OB nurses know to be prepared when they start smelling the scent of roses. If a mother or baby dies, the room suddenly fills with rose petals. It is one of the creepiest, but also loving things that happens. I was standing in a room one night when the baby died. The room filled with white and pink rose petals. The nurses and family was creeped out. The rose petals just started floating down from the ceiling. It was like someone was just showering the room with them. This has happened several times over the years.

My creepiest and scariest ghost story for me happened about a year ago. It really was more of a posession than a ghost story. I was helping another nurse with a patient that had lived a very hard life. It had numerous things going on with him from cardiac to renal failure. You name it, he had it going on. This man was very much afraid to die. Every time his heart monitor beeped, he would just go into a rage screaming, "Don't let me die! Don't let me die!" The other nurse and I found out why he didn't want to die. About 0200 his cardiac monitor starts alarming V-Tach. We both rush into the room. I am pulling the crash cart behind me. When I get to the room, the other nurse is completely white. This man was sitting about 2 inches above the bed and was laughing. His whole look completely changed. His eyes just had a look of pure evil on them and he had this evil smile on his face. He laughed at us and said, " You stupid b****es aren't going to let me die will you?" and he laughed again. We were kinda frozen. I did reach up and hit the Code Blue button and when I did the man went into V-fib. He crashed back onto the bed. We started coding him, but after 20 minutes it was called. 5 minutes after the code was called several of the code team is in the room cleaning up when this man sits straight up in the bed and says, " You let him die. Too bad." and then begins laughing. The man collapsed back to the bed. We heard a horrible, agonizing scream ( actually every patient in the unit that night commented on the scream), and then you could hear "don't let me die" being whispered throughout the unit. Everyone of the nurses that night was pale and scared. No body went anywhere by themselves. By morning the whispers of "don't let me die" were gone. The night shift nurses had a prayer service in the break room before we left for home and then we all had nightmares for weeks.
I was the charge nurse. I was suppose to be putting on a brave front for the less experienced nurses. I am still freaked out from that night. I quit working at that hospital not long after. Before I left I started to notice come changes throughout the unit. There was strange sounds. People's personalities were changing. I watched some of the quietest, shy nurses become very sɛҳuąƖ or verbally abusive. We had one nurse who was a very devoted Christian woman. I had never heard a bad word about anyone or her even curse. She always smiled and was very polite. After that night, she would let out string of curse words and obscenties that I have never heard before. She had that same evil look in her eye as that patient did that night. That hospital needed a priest.

The devil is real.

What else can I say?

your examples-would have to rule in or out schizophrenia or some other mental illness.but absent that, yes, priest is needed there......

I used to work in a hospital, a anabaptist fellow I worked with, not too keen on Catholicism, stated one time that some guy was acting like the lady at the end of your post. This fellow prayed "in the name of Jesus" and claimed that the person then looked scared and asked for help.he of course, being anti-sacremental and heretical, just layed hand and prayed and poof, no more problems.....some Prots think it is that easy to rid one of the devil......never mind they have no sacremental graces.......nor true theology, which the Devil can see through...

will PM you, I do enjoy my privacy a bit......wil lsend you mroe info by PM

Did this man levitate and come back from being dead ; did others hear his voice all night after he had died? Probably not.

Anyway, it is possible the devil who is possessing a person will allow a Protestant to exorcize him out of the person - the devil does this so that people will believe in the Protestant religion and that an Prot has the same power as a priest. Just like the devil can create illnesses in people and remove the illness when Hindus, buddhists, Native Americans, etc.. use their witch doctors to heal the person - the devil does this to give authenticity to the false religions.

Were such babies baptized?  If not:

Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:

It firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jєωs or heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the catholic church before the end of their lives;

Unbaptized infants are included in "all those who are outside the Catholic Church", and thus will go into the eternal fire.  Rose petals on such an occasion would be none other than a ploy of the devil, who has power over that hospital.

My guess is that people were buying into the false miracles he was working, and that for this reason he was granted more power over the hospital and the people there, which led to the frightening event you described.

CM, this is truly a horrible thing to believe, and it is most certainly NOT part of Catholic tradition.

First of all, infants are not responsible for baptism, secondly, you have completely dropped the existence of limbo, into which "good" unbaptized souls are sent.

I am the mother of two such infants, unbaptized through no fault of mine or of their Catholic father.  The doctor interfered with the miscarriage, particularly cruel to my efforts to see that the foetuses were preserved both for medical reasons (to discover the reasons for the miscarriage) and for the opportunity to see a priest.

I was not able to speak to a priest until some hours after Peter and Galen Blache died at the age of about eight prenatal weeks, and that priest, Father Joe at a local church I called at random, told me to assume the baptism of desire covered them and said that morning's Mass for them.

They rest in Heaven or in whatever Paradise level of Limbo our Heavenly Father provides for all these lost babies, and most certainly NOT in any hellish place!

Those who wish hell on all the innocent babes who die due to every sort of natural accident and human weakness  or human sin are the ones who ought to face such punishment.

I just quoted the Magisterium.  It is Catholic Tradition.

They go to hell, that is de fide, if they have died with the guilt of original sin.

But the souls of those who depart this life in actual mortal sin, or in original sin alone, go down straightaway to hell to be punished, but with unequal pains

I understand the desire to want to believe they are not in hell, but the Church does not allow such a belief, as seen form the above dogmatic definitions, which ARE Catholic Tradition.

I appreciate your apology for this comment, but notice that you called them "innocent" babes.  If a soul has original sin, it is not innocent - unless you are Pelagian and deny the guilt of original sin altogether.

I know a Catholic lady who lost a child to hell, but who nevertheless holds to the correct Catholic belief that the limbo of infants is in hell and that there is fire present therein.  I have asked her to register and comment, but she is leery of the internet so she may not - she is praying about it.
