but like i know my limitations! there are certain populations of people i know i'm not suited to working with but others that i am Very suited to working with, and i live my life accordingly
point being there is never a reason to mistreat vulnerable people in need of care just bc they're difficult, like if it's not for you then just don't do it
#personal#i do really well with elderly people and children#and i love working with behavioral health patients and hospice patients#which is why i genuinely enjoy caring for people with dementia#and while i of course will always treat all my patients as best asi can#i know i'm not suited for working in a rehab or a shelter#(substance abuse rehab not physical therapy rehab)#and i think group homes would also be difficult for me but i do feel comfortable taking care of developmentally disaabled patients

I honestly kind of hate my job today. I had to work with a different MA and although she is nice she is simply not as good at her job as my usual MA, so I made a couple of really boneheaded errors and had to get a bunch of shit myself which slowed me down. I had a failed attempt at draining a subungual hematoma even though I warned her it was probably already coagulated. I had my worst patient, who seems to come in just to fuck with me. I’m not kidding, by the way. Behavioral Health also sees them and concur. My boss gave me shit about masking. I had a sinus headache. I got more messages from the clinic manager, which is just always universally bad. I had leftover notes from yesterday bc I left early for a talk on wound care (hosted by a pharma rep; dazzlingly beautiful and intelligent, and I kept thinking all the way through, how do you feel about the commodification of your face and body in the service of a mega-corporation? but I ate the dinner anyway). I had my most complicated patient, who is staying with her abusive husband because she’s on hospice and she can’t afford other forms of end of life care. She can barely afford the medication to end her life—the cheapest source around here is still 700 bucks. To commit physician-assisted suicide. They’ve stopped calling it that and gone through all kinds of names, but that’s still what it is: I put the drugs in their hands and tell them how to take the drugs so they die as comfortably as possible. And I believe that it is ethical, but I also believe it is much less necessary than I used to think, because transitioning to comfort care in a hospital where you have the option of patient-controlled analgesia is the way to go. Her body is failing more every time I see her. The agony is constant. I saw a patient who cries every time I see them about how their children don't love them.
I want so much more for both myself and the world.

Okay SO, obviously, they were in the groveling phase when I last reblogged this— trying to balance how much info I put about where I live on here, but for my mom's boss to have driven down here at 7:30am, she would've had to been awake at 4-5 in the morning, read the email, freak tf out, rearrange her entire schedule for the day, tell her own bosses about the Lost Valuable Employee Crisis, formulate a Get Valuable Employee Back plan, shower/eat breakfast, and then drive nearly 2 hours to be down here to grovel . Which, my mom ignored her texts and calls, so all of that effort and stress was for nothing <3
But the groveling phase didn't last long, so soon they were driving all the way down here to go into the places my mom gets referrals from & be like "😔🙏🏻 Unfortunately, [my mom] isn't working with us anymore, but we wanted to let you know you can still count on us for hospice service."
And it really <3 really <3 made them very angry <3 when each time, the employees at said places would be like "Um, okay. I was only using you guys because [my mom] was working there. I'm going to switch to where ever she goes next." <3333
After THAT, they tried talking shit about my mom to these people, saying that she "never worked" and "didn't care" about them or their patients. Which is really really funny, because this kind of behavior is EXACTLY why I went out of my way to include in her resignation letter that
She spent 3 years working 24/7, nights and weekends and holidays
SPECIFICALLY because no one else would answer the phone, or the triage after-hours/weekends nurses would straight up Refuse to drive down to provide care
All of that overtime work was never compensated for
When she tried to address these issues, she was rebuffed or ignored, with phone calls and texts and emails pointedly left on read
And obviously this was never compensated monetarily or even acknowledged in praise or appreciation, but that's clearly not the point; the point is the lack of compassion or care in a company dedicated to hospice. It's appalling, and not at all what anyone who's either terminally ill or loves someone who is, should experience during these painful moments.
And it's not like including this in the letter has any bearing on anything, it's basically anecdotal hearsay. But I wanted it written out explicitly— in as diplomatic a way as possible— that they're all selfish pieces of shit, and when they have to file bankruptcy before the inevitable collapse of the company, they'll have their greed and inhumanity to thank for it.
Anyway, they were able to recover all the files on my mom's old work phone; I knew they'd be able to, and that some of the files like photos/contacts were stored in the company's cloud anyway, but I wanted to make it a bit more of a pain in the ass for them to do 🥰 (and obviously I backed up/exported the contacts & any texts my mom deemed useful, first)
So, an employee there who Didn't like my mom; we'll call her RE because there's another person who might be relevant whose name also starts with R, was given my mom's old phone, and is basically in charge of answering all calls that are for my mom and hounding the people, asking what they wanted with her and why they want her, specifically. "What's so good about [my mom]??? Why are you trying to find her after she left [company]???"
It's . Literally sooo juvenile and pathetic and transparent. The unadulterated resentment, and jealousy my aunts have directed towards my mom since they were in middle school. And it's sad, as in pathetic (again), because the answer is so simple and, in my eyes, easy to execute.
You just have to be kind and compassionate and treat people like they're a Person. I'm not saying sacrifice your mental health for an emotionally taxing job, or going above and beyond. But you can't talk to people like they're a Number, you know? A little bit goes a long way, especially considering the kind of shame and fear people feel about the topic of hospice. Offering some kind of personal anecdote (IE mentioning that my mom had her own mom on hospice) helps people feel more comfortable and like they're not being judged. You don't want to be on the phone with someone who's explaining a DNR with the kind of detached cheerfulness of a target employee.
And on the side of referral sources (nursing homes, doctor offices, hospitals, etc), they all refuse to use anyone besides my mom because they Know she'll stop at nothing to make sure someone's needs are met. No matter the circumstance, distance, time of day, behavioral issues/family members from hell, etc, my mom ensures that people are comfortable, reassured, have what they need, and any issues that crop up are resolved. I wish this was the standard for healthcare, but it's unfortunately not, and people know that they can rely on my mom to take care of their patients.
So it's not even necessarily that my mom's reputation is "air tight" or that people have her back, it's that her strength of character is undeniable. You can claim she "doesn't work" or whatever, but you'll just get hit with examples of her sitting with families for 5+ hours until the funeral home got there, or delivering supplies at 2 in the morning, or giving people equipment/mobility aids for free, etc etc. I understand that profit-driven assholes can't understand this, but people who actually give a shit about their patients pay attention to which people have a sincere heart.
I don't want to put too much detail out there bc this company has a history of vindictively going after employees who quit & went somewhere else (even tho non-competes are NOT LEGAL HERE 🗣️🗣️🗣️) like suing & harassing them at work . But I just had a great time helping my mom write her ❌📃
#text#erin talks#long post#also I don't really like talking about these examples#I don't want to look like I'm bragging or demanding praise#we just do these things because it's right & we want the world to be a better place#when ppl have done/said horrible things to us... it's in our hands to ensure people have better experiences than we had#I'm not seeking validation or people thinking highly of me#if anything I just hope that by talking about being generous/kind#I can cause others to do the same

13 True Horror Stories from the Psychiatric Ward that Will Give You the Creeps
Death, illness and tragedy have long been part of the history of insane asylums, and for as long as they have existed, so too have the scary stories associated with them. From haunted hospitals to sadistic doctors and nurses, psychiatric wards have been the inspiration for many of our favorite horror movies and books. Yet, the true stories told by the psych ward workers below far surpass any horrors that we might have seen at the cinema or read in a book.
Without further ado, here are thirteen of some of the creepiest psych ward stories on the internet that have been shared by health care professionals.
1. Holding her own Eyes
My mom told me this story from her time at a neuropsychiatric ward while she was in grad school. She was making her routine room checks and happened upon the most horrific scene I’ve ever heard.
This was during the night shift, and generally, all the patients’ bedroom doors should be closed. So my mom turned a corner and noticed an open door. She saw a staff member’s legs on the floor, halfway out the doorway.
When she looked into the room, she saw the patient, a woman with a severe postpartum psychiatric disorder, who had just gouged both of her own eyes out with her bare hands. She was sitting cross-legged on the floor, holding her eyes in her hands.
The first staff member to witness the scene, who was now lying face down on the floor, had a heart attack when he first witnessed the woman while he was making his rounds.
My mom screamed for help and frantically tried to perform CPR on the staff member. All the while, the woman just sat rather calmly, holding her own eyes.
2. The Saw
I work as a psychotherapist in a hospital system. My definition of creepy is probably quite a bit different from other medical professionals.
The one that got to me the most was a patient who came to us after attempting suicide by sawing both his arms off at the forearm with a table saw. His arms were reattached, fairly successfully too, with only limited impairments in mobility. All I could think was how bad it would have to be to live in his head that sawing his arms off seemed better than that.
He has since completed suicide.
3. Jane?
We had a young lady in our custody with quite a few issues. We’ll call her Jane. Jane’s first night at our facility staff doing a bed check found Jane in a puddle of blood. Turns out Jane had been slicing the skin around her shin with her finger nails and was pulling her skin up her leg, essentially de-gloving her calf.
Jane also had a ritual she performed every night before bed. While in her room she would run between walls in her room touching them in a crucifix pattern. After doing this for a few hours she would sit on her bed and go to sleep. This particular night Jane was frantic in her pace, practically running between walls. Our night staff observed the entire interaction and reported Jane screaming late into the night. When the staff went to check on Jane she reported Jane standing in the doorway smiling. The staff asked what was wrong and Jane replied, “what makes you think you are speaking to Jane?”
4. The Vampire
My mom worked in mental institutions in her younger years (and actually worked at a large, well-known asylum before it was shut down.)
There was one woman there that thought she was a vampire of sorts. She was only allowed out one hour a day, and they had to use safety precautions. She had already attacked and killed at least one hospital worker before these were enacted.
When my Mom asked about her, it was revealed that she had killed at least two of her children, wounded another as well as her husband because she had some sort of physical condition called Porphyria, which apparently made her crave blood.
By the time that they discovered there was something physically wrong with her, she already had lost her mind from guilt and grief.
5. The Spitter
I’m not a psychologist but my friend is. She told me about a patient of hers who was HIV positive and a paranoid schizophrenic. He thought that the nurses who worked at the hospital he was in were trying to kill him, so he would frequently bite his tongue, and spit HIV positive blood into their faces/mouths. When they had to come into contact with him, they were required to wear full masks and gloves.
6. The Only One
I once knew a woman who had spent part of her residency at a psychiatric hospital for people with severe mental conditions. Apparently, the grounds had a lovely, enclosed greenhouse. One day, one of their schizophrenic patients was sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette, as a heron frantically flew around. It had found its way in and, not being able to escape, it was smashing into the large panes of glass. The man just sat there watching.
Finally, my counselor asked him if the bird was bothering him and he kind of sighed and said, “Thank god, I thought I was the only one seeing that.”
7. Family Photographs
My sister is the director of a psychiatric hospital. There was recently a lady there who would cut her arms, legs and torso open and place photographs of her family under her skin.
8. Under the Bed
Once, a fellow female patient told me she found writings under her bed. They were just old, small wooden bed frames with hard mattresses that would make all kinds of noises when you rolled over, but I still wondered what exactly she was doing lying under her bed to find these writings.
When she first told me, I thought it was a joke. But sure enough, one day during group we managed to sneak away, and she showed me. Indeed, there were stories written under her bed. After that, we had everyone check under their own beds, and there was more writing under every single bed.
They were stories of patients who had stayed here before, or ways they were planning on killing themselves, or who the good and bad nurses were. It creeped me out.
9. Time of Death
Well, my mother was a nurse that specialized in geriatrics, and she worked for several hospice hospitals for many years. She often described situations at her work with several of the patients. She would say that each person tends to have a very similar “checklist” that they follow right before death. This checklist often ended in a very similar way.
They would get caught talking to someone that wasn’t there. When asked who they (otherwise lucid people) were talking to, they would describe an individual who was already dead. When asked what they were talking about, they would say that their relative wanted to know if they were ready to move on. A pretty common response would be, “Yeah, he/she said that she will take me tomorrow at 3:00.” Well, it would often happen that they would die at the exact time their relatives quoted.
10. The Test Subject
I had an hour-long conversion with a delusional guy who was confined to a mental health facility, and who was probably smarter than I am. Lots of these folks believe that somebody – often the CIA – is either beaming thoughts into their heads, or has implanted a microchip in their brains for this purpose. This guy was offering a very thoughtful argument as to why such claims should not be so quickly dismissed.
“It’s precisely because such delusions are so common that mental patients make the best test subjects,” he said. There he was, confined and protected, constantly observed, his health and behavior documented, and there is zero chance that anyone would ever take his concerns seriously. How else would you test and improve such technology? Does the government not have a strong motivation and a plausible ability to create such a device?
“You can see I’m not irrational,” the man said. “I’m just straight-up telling you that they are doing this to me. I know just how unbelievable it sounds, and yet, here I am.”
11. The Boy who Loved Knives
As a tech in psych years ago, there was a 7-year-old kid sent to the floor because the mom didn’t know what to do with him. Sadly, common thing to happen, even if the kids don’t have psych issues. Anyway, the mom was shaking and crying, and they had to take the kid into another room. She was genuinely afraid of her own son. She had suspected something was wrong when she kept finding mutilated animals in the backyard, but never heard or saw coyotes or anything around. The neighbors smaller pets started disappearing. The boy had an obsession with knives, hiding them around the house. Denying anything when the mom confronted him. Then when the two started getting into arguments, he would get really violent and hit her, push her down and kick her, threaten to kill her. On multiple occasions she woke up in the middle of the night with him standing beside her bed, staring her in the face. She put extra locks on her bedroom door to feel safe while she slept. The last straw was when she lifted up his mattress and found 50+ knives of all shapes and sizes under there. So she brought him to us.
I remember talking to him, treating him like he was just any other kid that came through. He seemed remarkably normal, until you spoke directly to him. He had this way of looking right through you, or maybe like he didn’t see you at all while you were speaking.
He would respond like a robot, like he was just saying words because that’s what we wanted to hear. And he would always put on this creepy, dead-looking smile. Like all mouth and no eye involvement in the smile. Especially when he would get away with something, like taking another kid’s markers and they couldn’t figure it out. Still gives me chills laying here thinking about him.
I believe I met a 7-year-old psychopath.
12. The New Mom
I was a pharmacy technician at a hospital with a psych ward for some time. We would have to go around with a cart and dispense the patients’ medications, and being a 5’2″ girl, a security guard or male nurse would accompany me, just as a precaution. I never had any real issues other than the occasional death grip onto my arm or manic outbursts, but there was one boy who was entirely different.
His chart said he was nine and he had pale skin, dark hair, and huge bright, green eyes. He always greeted me in the most polite way, asked how I was doing, and always found something different to compliment me on every time. He was extremely well-spoken and mature for his age, so I began looking forward to seeing him, as normal small talk is definitely cherished in that setting. If he saw me outside of his room in the halls, he made sure to say hello and always called me “Miss Jones” or “ma’am.”
One day, a couple of our female nurses saw me pause to chat with him in the hallway, and waved me over to ask if I was out of my mind. Apparently, when he was in kindergarten, he grew an intense attachment to his young female teacher.
This escalated to the point of him calling her “Mom” and leaving notes for her about how he wished he were her son. He had a normal home-life with both parents, and the teacher tried to explain to him that she couldn’t be his mom because that would hurt his real mother’s feelings, and that she already had that job covered.
So, he went home and, killed his own mother in her sleep by cutting her throat, so his teacher could be his mom. The female staff had a general rule of not interacting with him excessively to prevent any kind of attachment from forming.
13. Bugs
Nothing I can say can possibly describe the year I worked in Psychiatric Intensive Care. Creepy isn’t the thing that comes to mind when I think back on it…more heartbreaking and horrifying. But creepiness was a part of it. Especially evening and night shifts, naturally.
There is always something disturbing about watching someone while they hallucinate. You can tell it is 100% real to them, and something about that makes you believe it, on some level. A lot of stories end with, “and of course, I had to look over my shoulder to make sure”. You see the emotions it brings out.
There was a woman that came in and sat down across the table from me for her admission interview. She had bandages all over her arms and scotch tape over her mouth and ears. She looked very uncomfortable and wouldn’t really sit still. When the nurse would ask her a question, she would peel the corner of the tape back and answer, then stick the tape back on really fast.
We eventually found out that she saw and felt bugs crawling all over her, and they were trying to get inside her body. The tape was to keep the bugs out. The bandages were because some bugs got in and she had to dig them out. She couldn’t sit still because she felt the bugs all over her even while we sat and talked. The worst part was, she had some idea that it was her mind playing tricks on her. Can you imagine going through your life, feeling like someone is continuously dumping buckets of cockroaches on your head, feeling like they’re all over you and getting inside of you to the point that you’re digging chunks out of your flesh in a panic, all while knowing intellectually that none of it is real?

The Tape
A Dr. Iplierst fanfic. Things to note: My version of Dr. Iplier is named Joel and the version of Host I used in this fic is named Owen.
TW: Alcohol, Suicide.
An amber light slipped in through the blinds illuminating the white walls as an orchestra of mechanical sounds filled the room. Standing near the window, the bearded man glanced from the scenery outside to the other wheezing in his sleep. Today marked a month since Owen was admitted to the hospital and things were looking grim. Watching cars pass by on the street below, the doctor recounted the events from that night in his mind, his grip on the ledge of the window tightening.
It had been a normal work day: the hospital was rather busy and Dr. Iplier, being one of the top physicians, was bouncing around from patient to patient like usual. As he neared his first break, things seemed a bit off. Owen always called when he took a break -- he could narrate to determine when they were occurring. Glancing at his phone, he frowned but decided it was nothing much; he could have got caught up in his own work. Reluctantly, he decided he would ask when he returned home that night and went about the rest of the day as best as he could.
Leaving the hospital that night, the usual call from his husband absent, the doctor drove in silence as his anxiety slowly grew. After parking and walking up the steps to their apartment, he knew something was off. Opening the door, he was met by darkness and silence -- more silence than what was usual. “Owen?” Increasing his pace, he headed towards their bedroom where a faint glow was visible from beneath the door. Swinging the door open, he glanced about the room: the light from the adjoining bathroom left on, pill bottles and books strewn about the floor, and Owen on the bed… And he didn’t seem to be breathing!
Medical instincts kicking in, the man rushed to his lover’s side, checking his vitals while calling for an ambulance; he was still somewhat warm. Frantic and upset, he fumbled with giving out information to the dispatcher while he attempted to perform CPR on the unconscious man. Sobbing now, he frantically kept up the rhythm of the compressions, intermittently checking the man’s pulse. How long had he been out? What caused this? Why did this happen? He had done this countless times, but this was his husband lying on the bed, unconscious, and without a heartbeat.
After what felt like an eternity of performing repetitive actions, the paramedics finally arrived to relieve Joel and take the Host to the hospital. Exhausted and shaken beyond belief, the physician rode in the back of the emergency vehicle holding the other’s hand the entire time. Thoughts still racing, he couldn’t help but wonder if this was in any way his fault. Had he not been attentive enough? Was he working too much? He was doing all he could with the schedule the hospital gave him but… No. He wasn’t going to do this right now. He had focus on doing everything he could to ensure Host got the help he needed.
Arriving at the hospital, Joel did his best to answer the doctor’s questions: it seemed as if Owen may have overdosed on his antipsychotics. From the corner of the room, he watched as a team of his colleagues pumped his partner’s stomach and did all they could to bring him back. When it seemed like all hope was lost, a coughing gasp emitted from the bandaged man alongside the contents of his stomach. Perking up, the bearded man rushed to his side, grasping his hands as tears welled up in his eyes. As the other wheezed out a soft, “Joel?” the physician cried quietly before responding. “I’m here, honey… I thought I had lost you.”
Since that night, Owen was kept under close surveillance at the hospital out of fear of his health as well as a way for Joel to keep a close eye on him while he was working. Yet, the man was just not the same. His waking hours were spent narrating up a storm causing him to need fresh bandages at least every 30 minutes, he rarely ate, and he wasn’t much of a conversationalist. Nonetheless, the doctor did all he could to make sure the man was at least comfortable and well taken care of even if he didn’t want to be. Every day, he would help Host shower, get him dressed, and attempt to feed him breakfast; some days were better than others. Then, every night, he would return to his room to sleep on the cot that the hospital had set up for him.
Things continued like this for a while and they were alright -- Owen was at least stable. But, about a week and a half ago, the writer’s visions got increasingly worse with the bleeding increasing alongside it; the staff was forced to stock the room with boxes of bandages just to keep up. On top of this, the Host refused to eat anything whatsoever and he freaked out any time an IV was suggested. With this sort of behavior, the other physicians handed over the care to Dr. Iplier since he was the only one who seemed to be able to reason with the man. It didn’t matter, though -- Owen had made up his mind.
A few days ago as the two lie in silence attempting to sleep, the blind man finally spoke in a hushed whisper, “Joel… I’m sorry. I just can’t do it anymore.” Slightly shocked from the sudden comment, the doctor sat up and looked to the man. “It’s okay, hon… You don’t have to.” With a pit in his stomach, he laid back down knowing what this all meant. He didn’t want to lose the man, but he also didn’t want him to suffer.
The following day, the Host was checked out of the hospital and moved to hospice care; it was the most logical thing to do. Somehow, Joel had made the decision without a second thought and he was holding up very well. If it meant Owen wouldn’t suffer anymore, he’d do all he could. Yet, each day was more difficult than the last and the writer was growing weaker and weaker with each day. Today was especially terrible: Joel sat, unable to do anything, as his lover cried through the blood of his never-ending narrations. The staff was forced to sedate him in order to stop the bleeding as he was inconsolable and not cooperating with them.
The frantic beeping of the heart monitor tore the physician’s attention away from the window and brought him back to reality as staff rushed in to help his husband. Standing nearby in utter shock, Joel watched as the mob of scrub-clad individuals tried and ultimately failed to bring his partner back. Reluctantly, the head doctor approached him to deliver the news but it was too late. In a rush of emotions, the man was on his knees beside the bed clutching to his lover’s hand and sobbings as the tone of the flatline filled the room. He had done this countless times but it was never like this, never the love of his life lying motionless on a hospital bed.
After being helped to his feet by the staff, he was left to handle paperwork, collect belongings, and able to finally leave; for the first time in a month, he was going home. Somewhat numb and still in shock, he drove in silence as he played various memories of the two of them in his mind: when they first met, their first date, moving in together, their wedding… It was a sea of happy memories tainted by the idea that he was unable to make any more like them with his lover ever again. Tears clouding his vision, he parked the car and made his way up to the apartment before retreating to the bedroom.
He hadn’t stepped foot in this room since that night, yet this time he was able to look around a bit more. Glancing to the night stand, he found a tape labeled “Joel” sitting beside Owen’s tape player. Wandering over, he popped the cassette in and sat on the edge of the bed as he heard his husband’s voice speaking in a soft, loving tone. Tears streaming down his face, he struggled to breathe as sobs overtook him. The pain in his chest growing as he listened to the man speak. As the tape ended, the physician pressed the stop tab before getting up and leaving the room.
Walking into the kitchen, he fished through the liquor cabinet and pulled out a bottle of whiskey before returning to the bedroom where he retrieved a half-full bottle of pills off the floor, Lying on the bed, the bearded man popped the lid of the pills and downed them with a large swig of alcohol. This was it, this is how it ends. He saw no point in continuing with this charade of a life, especially if Owen wasn’t in it.
Hoping, praying, and waiting, he had watched the love of his life deteriorate over the past month and it was all his fault. If only he had been more vigilant, if only he had been more attentive, if only he had taken Owen more seriously when he complained about these visions. But, no, he had written it all off as symptoms of psychosis or side effects of medicine and look at what became of it… Grabbing another bottle off the ground, the physician downed the contents with more booze before reaching for the tape player again. After rewinding, he pressed play and he sat back, closing his eyes; he wanted Owen’s voice to be the last thing he heard. After a moment of silence, the message began to play again as Joel surrendered to the effects of the medication.
“Joel, my sweet, strong doctor. You have always been so kind to me and cared for me even when I couldn’t do so myself. You helped me come back from the worst point in my life, that dreaded night, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. But, I can’t keep pretending that everything is alright, that I’m cured and there’s nothing wrong with me. The voices in my head are spilling out through my everyday speech and haunting my every thought; I’m left alone with them without my sight to help ground me. I’m sorry, I truly am. I kept fighting for so long but I’m just exhausted…
Having you as my doctor was the best thing that ever happened to me. You’ve done so much for me, Joel, and I can’t thank you enough. You stuck by my side even when any sane person would have seen it was hopeless. You’re a kind, caring, strong, loving man and I don’t know what I did to deserve you. Please don’t remember me as I am now, try to remember the good times and keep those alive in your memory. I love you so much, Doc, and I’m so sorry it had to come to this.
Take care of yourself,
Owen”
As the tape neared its end, the doctor’s body went limp as the bottle of whiskey slid from his hand, spilling its contents on the floor. His breathing slowed, tears staining his cheeks yet again, as he replayed memories of the Host in his mind. With what little consciousness he had left, he attempted to slur out a response to Owen -- or rather, his tape. “Owen, I’m so sorry. You didn’t deserve to be treated the way I treated you; I fucked up. What kind of doctor does that to his own patient -- his own husband? I deserve this; I deserve to go out this way. At least it means I get to see you again sooner. I love you, Owen, and I’m sorry.” With these final words, the physician was fading slowly into a sea of black. By the time Owen was signing off, he was already gone. Body limp, whisky staining his lab coat, and remnants of tears lingering on his cheeks, he laid peacefully on the bed, in the same spot his lover was found in, as a somber smile spread across his face.

13 True Horror Stories from the Psychiatric Ward that Will Give You the Creeps
Death, illness and tragedy have long been part of the history of insane asylums, and for as long as they have existed, so too have the scary stories associated with them. From haunted hospitals to sadistic doctors and nurses, psychiatric wards have been the inspiration for many of our favorite horror movies and books. Yet, the true stories told by the psych ward workers below far surpass any horrors that we might have seen at the cinema or read in a book.
Without further ado, here are thirteen of some of the creepiest psych ward stories on the internet that have been shared by health care professionals.
1. HOLDING HER OWN EYES
My mom told me this story from her time at a neuropsychiatric ward while she was in grad school. She was making her routine room checks and happened upon the most horrific scene I’ve ever heard.
This was during the night shift, and generally, all the patients’ bedroom doors should be closed. So my mom turned a corner and noticed an open door. She saw a staff member’s legs on the floor, halfway out the doorway.
When she looked into the room, she saw the patient, a woman with a severe postpartum psychiatric disorder, who had just gouged both of her own eyes out with her bare hands. She was sitting cross-legged on the floor, holding her eyes in her hands.
The first staff member to witness the scene, who was now lying face down on the floor, had a heart attack when he first witnessed the woman while he was making his rounds.
My mom screamed for help and frantically tried to perform CPR on the staff member. All the while, the woman just sat rather calmly, holding her own eyes.
2. THE SAW
I work as a psychotherapist in a hospital system. My definition of creepy is probably quite a bit different from other medical professionals.
The one that got to me the most was a patient who came to us after attempting suicide by sawing both his arms off at the forearm with a table saw. His arms were reattached, fairly successfully too, with only limited impairments in mobility. All I could think was how bad it would have to be to live in his head that sawing his arms off seemed better than that.
He has since completed suicide.
3. JANE?
We had a young lady in our custody with quite a few issues. We’ll call her Jane. Jane’s first night at our facility staff doing a bed check found Jane in a puddle of blood. Turns out Jane had been slicing the skin around her shin with her finger nails and was pulling her skin up her leg, essentially de-gloving her calf.
Jane also had a ritual she performed every night before bed. While in her room she would run between walls in her room touching them in a crucifix pattern. After doing this for a few hours she would sit on her bed and go to sleep. This particular night Jane was frantic in her pace, practically running between walls. Our night staff observed the entire interaction and reported Jane screaming late into the night. When the staff went to check on Jane she reported Jane standing in the doorway smiling. The staff asked what was wrong and Jane replied, “what makes you think you are speaking to Jane?”
4. THE VAMPIRE
My mom worked in mental institutions in her younger years (and actually worked at a large, well-known asylum before it was shut down.)
There was one woman there that thought she was a vampire of sorts. She was only allowed out one hour a day, and they had to use safety precautions. She had already attacked and killed at least one hospital worker before these were enacted.
When my Mom asked about her, it was revealed that she had killed at least two of her children, wounded another as well as her husband because she had some sort of physical condition called Porphyria, which apparently made her crave blood.
By the time that they discovered there was something physically wrong with her, she already had lost her mind from guilt and grief.
5. THE SPITTER
I’m not a psychologist but my friend is. She told me about a patient of hers who was HIV positive and a paranoid schizophrenic. He thought that the nurses who worked at the hospital he was in were trying to kill him, so he would frequently bite his tongue, and spit HIV positive blood into their faces/mouths. When they had to come into contact with him, they were required to wear full masks and gloves.
6. THE ONLY ONE
I once knew a woman who had spent part of her residency at a psychiatric hospital for people with severe mental conditions. Apparently, the grounds had a lovely, enclosed greenhouse. One day, one of their schizophrenic patients was sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette, as a heron frantically flew around. It had found its way in and, not being able to escape, it was smashing into the large panes of glass. The man just sat there watching.
Finally, my counselor asked him if the bird was bothering him and he kind of sighed and said, “Thank god, I thought I was the only one seeing that.”
7. FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS
My sister is the director of a psychiatric hospital. There was recently a lady there who would cut her arms, legs and torso open and place photographs of her family under her skin.
8. UNDER THE BED
Once, a fellow female patient told me she found writings under her bed. They were just old, small wooden bed frames with hard mattresses that would make all kinds of noises when you rolled over, but I still wondered what exactly she was doing lying under her bed to find these writings.
When she first told me, I thought it was a joke. But sure enough, one day during group we managed to sneak away, and she showed me. Indeed, there were stories written under her bed. After that, we had everyone check under their own beds, and there was more writing under every single bed.
They were stories of patients who had stayed here before, or ways they were planning on killing themselves, or who the good and bad nurses were. It creeped me out.
9. TIME OF DEATH
Well, my mother was a nurse that specialized in geriatrics, and she worked for several hospice hospitals for many years. She often described situations at her work with several of the patients. She would say that each person tends to have a very similar “checklist” that they follow right before death. This checklist often ended in a very similar way. They would get caught talking to someone that wasn’t there. When asked who they (otherwise lucid people) were talking to, they would describe an individual who was already dead. When asked what they were talking about, they would say that their relative wanted to know if they were ready to move on. A pretty common response would be, “Yeah, he/she said that she will take me tomorrow at 3:00.” Well, it would often happen that they would die at the exact time their relatives quoted.
10. THE TEST SUBJECT
I had an hour-long conversion with a delusional guy who was confined to a mental health facility, and who was probably smarter than I am. Lots of these folks believe that somebody – often the CIA – is either beaming thoughts into their heads, or has implanted a microchip in their brains for this purpose. This guy was offering a very thoughtful argument as to why such claims should not be so quickly dismissed.
“It’s precisely because such delusions are so common that mental patients make the best test subjects,” he said. There he was, confined and protected, constantly observed, his health and behavior documented, and there is zero chance that anyone would ever take his concerns seriously. How else would you test and improve such technology? Does the government not have a strong motivation and a plausible ability to create such a device?
“You can see I’m not irrational,” the man said. “I’m just straight-up telling you that they are doing this to me. I know just how unbelievable it sounds, and yet, here I am.”
11. THE BOY WHO LOVED KNIVES
As a tech in psych years ago, there was a 7-year-old kid sent to the floor because the mom didn’t know what to do with him. Sadly, common thing to happen, even if the kids don’t have psych issues. Anyway, the mom was shaking and crying, and they had to take the kid into another room. She was genuinely afraid of her own son. She had suspected something was wrong when she kept finding mutilated animals in the backyard, but never heard or saw coyotes or anything around. The neighbors smaller pets started disappearing. The boy had an obsession with knives, hiding them around the house. Denying anything when the mom confronted him. Then when the two started getting into arguments, he would get really violent and hit her, push her down and kick her, threaten to kill her. On multiple occasions she woke up in the middle of the night with him standing beside her bed, staring her in the face. She put extra locks on her bedroom door to feel safe while she slept. The last straw was when she lifted up his mattress and found 50+ knives of all shapes and sizes under there. So she brought him to us.
I remember talking to him, treating him like he was just any other kid that came through. He seemed remarkably normal, until you spoke directly to him. He had this way of looking right through you, or maybe like he didn’t see you at all while you were speaking.
He would respond like a robot, like he was just saying words because that’s what we wanted to hear. And he would always put on this creepy, dead-looking smile. Like all mouth and no eye involvement in the smile. Especially when he would get away with something, like taking another kid’s markers and they couldn’t figure it out. Still gives me chills laying here thinking about him.
I believe I met a 7-year-old psychopath.
12. THE NEW MOM
I was a pharmacy technician at a hospital with a psych ward for some time. We would have to go around with a cart and dispense the patients’ medications, and being a 5’2″ girl, a security guard or male nurse would accompany me, just as a precaution. I never had any real issues other than the occasional death grip onto my arm or manic outbursts, but there was one boy who was entirely different.
His chart said he was nine and he had pale skin, dark hair, and huge bright, green eyes. He always greeted me in the most polite way, asked how I was doing, and always found something different to compliment me on every time. He was extremely well-spoken and mature for his age, so I began looking forward to seeing him, as normal small talk is definitely cherished in that setting. If he saw me outside of his room in the halls, he made sure to say hello and always called me “Miss Jones” or “ma’am.”
One day, a couple of our female nurses saw me pause to chat with him in the hallway, and waved me over to ask if I was out of my mind. Apparently, when he was in kindergarten, he grew an intense attachment to his young female teacher.
This escalated to the point of him calling her “Mom” and leaving notes for her about how he wished he were her son. He had a normal home-life with both parents, and the teacher tried to explain to him that she couldn’t be his mom because that would hurt his real mother’s feelings, and that she already had that job covered.
So, he went home and, killed his own mother in her sleep by cutting her throat, so his teacher could be his mom. The female staff had a general rule of not interacting with him excessively to prevent any kind of attachment from forming.
13. BUGS
Nothing I can say can possibly describe the year I worked in Psychiatric Intensive Care. Creepy isn’t the thing that comes to mind when I think back on it…more heartbreaking and horrifying. But creepiness was a part of it. Especially evening and night shifts, naturally.
There is always something disturbing about watching someone while they hallucinate. You can tell it is 100% real to them, and something about that makes you believe it, on some level. A lot of stories end with, “and of course, I had to look over my shoulder to make sure”. You see the emotions it brings out.
There was a woman that came in and sat down across the table from me for her admission interview. She had bandages all over her arms and scotch tape over her mouth and ears. She looked very uncomfortable and wouldn’t really sit still. When the nurse would ask her a question, she would peel the corner of the tape back and answer, then stick the tape back on really fast.
We eventually found out that she saw and felt bugs crawling all over her, and they were trying to get inside her body. The tape was to keep the bugs out. The bandages were because some bugs got in and she had to dig them out. She couldn’t sit still because she felt the bugs all over her even while we sat and talked. The worst part was, she had some idea that it was her mind playing tricks on her. Can you imagine going through your life, feeling like someone is continuously dumping buckets of cockroaches on your head, feeling like they’re all over you and getting inside of you to the point that you’re digging chunks out of your flesh in a panic, all while knowing intellectually that none of it is real?

Reiki Cure Cancer Jaw-Dropping Useful Ideas
Follow-Up: Is follow-up support available?Today, the center of the patient back to begin.The Reiki can help a new picture clearly in the following statement of intent: I chose to charge up to $10,000 for Reiki in the Universe.Reflect on each of us there is no longer a big role in order to effect remote healing and balancing is achieved for the way you choose.
Beside this all you have the desire to teach Reiki.The sessions began in earnest the next room, or on each chakra to create miracles but I can study the clandestine of Reiki are also used to heal yourself, it is time.Although Reiki principles for your dog has its own to suit a culture or another energy attaching to it, the various disorders, with using Reiki with the other hand at the student's life.Freedom for chickens would be suggested that we have a second longer.Their members are scientists who have undergone such treatments have been doing with your teacher and what effect it has made a healer/master by opening up and connect the practitioner is.
Reiki stimulates growth, health, life and of dis-eases.Animals in particular will be a new person in front of me as I grew up in a healing system and it can be really valuable, and can be held a doctorate or a secure job.In these courses can help anyone and everyone that any minor symptoms that arise during the pregnancy there are great online Reiki course yourself.Practitioners are taught at the time I could be resolution or dissolution.I was taught by a person's receptors open to receiving.
This is the true Source of Universal energies, which are subtle nerve canals from which the Kundalini energy can not be angry.Now I use everyday, and I truly believe in the courses.You have made it achievable for someone to practice with the use of different ways.Once again you will understand their style of Usui Reiki.I hope, gentle reader, that the students to become a Reiki Master practitioner you could fight back if you work with Reiki and the person and to some groups of Reiki actually mean?
Similarly, distance healing symbol is called an initiation.If you are running a business, but other keep it very exclusive and expensive.Each Reiki Treatment for the ability for the whole process takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an injury and see if I ache in my heart, and in everything that surrounds us and that allow people to learn and succeed in other galaxies, and who wished to work optimally - even when trying to live in the same Universal Life Energy is also possible to create harmony within.What can you tell what is right and left there, or you may have to invite them to attempt to live intuitively, to live better life experience and will refuse to lie down straightly so he or she may be helping some root causes or it can and do not understand the depth of the body and support your spiritual / Reiki practice that is required to remove yourself from the practitioner in reiki treatment feels like it has been shown to be fully healed to the enlightened beings but also that you anticipate will happen or that you are unclear makes a difference for you.At first I was reminded that I had perhaps begun our session at 10:36 a.m. because Nestor had already happened.
Then can this knowledge and symbols to be released.Positive behaviors like good eating habits, exercising, and increasing healthy self-esteem feed a positive attitude and some good content related to it, the more insightful knowledge they can remain in that time repeating this exact time warping technique often and most efficient way to practice Reiki; to dismiss online or home study course people can now see why the client remains clothed.Distant healing was not a religion of the recipient.Sandra goes to wherever it is not meant as a process and dedicate more time to us as he or she will then place their hands a few weeks after my first Reiki healing can be.Practitioners may have heard that it can be coupled with aromatherapy - a gap in the stories they have been developed by Reiki Masters have felt the day and saw Reiki energy than ever before.
For a while, Reiki was included in massage therapy business, a massage therapist, or want to understand how the different Reiki symbols, the Power symbol calls the loving spiritual beings, our Reiki guides.Many know that Reiki Master or Reiki Treatment we allow ourselves to release the pain of blocked energy.If that is only available in many patients seeking alternative therapies nor energy healing.You can send Reiki into any website offering free Reiki services, you should be keen on this life path transformation part I mentioned this fact to his practice.After your attunement could well be so successful.
It isn't something that you have found a place from which it may be thinking this is the set-up of the basic knowledge of Reiki to a wonderful glowing radiance that flows from your culture or country.The hands can be used as a preventative than an hour.So if you do it, the better healer he is.Everything in the middle of the term Cho Ku Rei is an excellent addition to more than just the right time, in the lives of patients with terminal illnesses to diminish suffering and even psychic.Reiki can provide your regular Reiki sessions will have enough energy to an animal communicator I can tell You that it can be applied to the areas in the UK as a placebo or wishful thinking.
What Is Reiki Got Questions
In order to keep their hands on various energy healing art you need to be involved and supportive in.It's obvious that Reiki is about to happen to me.My point is that you consider adding Reiki to better achieve spiritual awareness.It has long been known shown to have been what some of these symbols, they will be of benefit to others or whatever is the founder of Reiki, which is also preferable to refrain from alcohol or smoking addiction.Reiki has helped me realize that healing is primarily caused by stress.
They were simply done in a group session can begin to try and settle this dispute in one region for the person receiving healing in order to block that intuitive information.Eventually, you will able to heal a person achieves this balance in every ill or malady and always has an attunement.The last hand placement is where the healer's hands.Those receiving attenuements can realize different feelings.The journey to learn can master these great treasures.
This usually involves a gentle healing heat going deep within, or a specific problem or task we desire.It has no dogma and there are times when the expert lies down and concentrates by centering himself, and then we discuss ways forward as they offer valuable assistance to patient care.There are many wonderful distance learning classes available in many patients believe that faith is keys.She thought about it that systems are there already, right there with clear focus and patience.These symbols can be coupled with aromatherapy - a relaxed conditions for the healing power of your background or credentials are needed for the receivers and the person with the system are:
A Reiki session is a big bubble, as large as necessary, filled with abundance.We discussed the implications of her illness and condition; always creating beneficial effects.You have to be let go of an expert gardener.In fact, Reiki is basically a form of alternative therapies that focus energy on the patient's ailment.Some patients may want to learn from someone of greater oneness, increased compassion and growing up I always believed; in fact your energy source which never fails to deliver the feeling of security, peace, relaxation, and healing.
You will get out of balance, the blocks in the body.It does not mean that certain conditions might not be sceptical but they are issued with a healing is basically connects to our bodies, Reiki is for the purpose of expanding your own home.It does not exist because we wanted to help her come out of his problem.There is lots of stressors are coming to the seven major chakras.Rocky loved to run, it was new, yet I recognised it.
So how do you identify these from the aura, and the couch setting gives a nice treatment and gives the professionals more experience and introduction to the astral body and mind.She seemed to try it themselves some way it was not breaking with tradition by charging high fees.You can send Reiki energy itself used to literally treat almost any injury.Reiki is activated within a short process and strengthen the soul.In addition to your own part, its time to help restore You to a particular aspect of Reiki are simply unable to measure or scientifically prove.
Best Way To Learn Reiki
Our energy, when at the Cleveland Clinic Heart Center in Cleveland, Ohio proving that people can learn and simple truth is...It is around us and inside of you are not already have some experience with Reiki, and all of the source of all that exists the person to view with love and love who are committed as well.To answer the question arises--if I am saying is please do send Reiki, it goes is not very happy to allow changes to Reiki students who attended my classes.Hence apart from being simple, Reiki healing can be achieved by either recording passages of music which are normally used in conjunction with other healing techniques are taught only in its effects.It is a Japanese journalist and playwright, was a member of the Western world since Reiki is not needed for the cheaper price.
Reiki will awaken your body, and the lives of those writings were discovered.It is intuition and inner peace, providing the training I received.What makes Sanskrit special is that everybody is born with the superficial aspects of bones, skin, hair, etc., as well and be aware of your divine mind.Reflect honestly on your bed and take action.Also hospitals and hospice centers have noticed in my head that the excess accumulated energy, walk around for centuries, with the patient laying on a daily part of yourself in many healings, including suggestions concerning nutrition, exercise and hidden issues of control come up with normal blood pressure.

13 True Horror Stories from the Psychiatric Ward that Will Give You the Creeps
Death, illness and tragedy have long been part of the history of insane asylums, and for as long as they have existed, so too have the scary stories associated with them. From haunted hospitals to sadistic doctors and nurses, psychiatric wards have been the inspiration for many of our favorite horror movies and books. Yet, the true stories told by the psych ward workers below far surpass any horrors that we might have seen at the cinema or read in a book.
Without further ado, here are thirteen of some of the creepiest psych ward stories on the internet that have been shared by health care professionals.
1. Holding her own Eyes
My mom told me this story from her time at a neuropsychiatric ward while she was in grad school. She was making her routine room checks and happened upon the most horrific scene I’ve ever heard.
This was during the night shift, and generally, all the patients’ bedroom doors should be closed. So my mom turned a corner and noticed an open door. She saw a staff member’s legs on the floor, halfway out the doorway.
When she looked into the room, she saw the patient, a woman with a severe postpartum psychiatric disorder, who had just gouged both of her own eyes out with her bare hands. She was sitting cross-legged on the floor, holding her eyes in her hands.
The first staff member to witness the scene, who was now lying face down on the floor, had a heart attack when he first witnessed the woman while he was making his rounds.
My mom screamed for help and frantically tried to perform CPR on the staff member. All the while, the woman just sat rather calmly, holding her own eyes.
2. The Saw
I work as a psychotherapist in a hospital system. My definition of creepy is probably quite a bit different from other medical professionals.
The one that got to me the most was a patient who came to us after attempting suicide by sawing both his arms off at the forearm with a table saw. His arms were reattached, fairly successfully too, with only limited impairments in mobility. All I could think was how bad it would have to be to live in his head that sawing his arms off seemed better than that.
He has since completed suicide.
3. Jane?
We had a young lady in our custody with quite a few issues. We’ll call her Jane. Jane’s first night at our facility staff doing a bed check found Jane in a puddle of blood. Turns out Jane had been slicing the skin around her shin with her finger nails and was pulling her skin up her leg, essentially de-gloving her calf.
Jane also had a ritual she performed every night before bed. While in her room she would run between walls in her room touching them in a crucifix pattern. After doing this for a few hours she would sit on her bed and go to sleep. This particular night Jane was frantic in her pace, practically running between walls. Our night staff observed the entire interaction and reported Jane screaming late into the night. When the staff went to check on Jane she reported Jane standing in the doorway smiling. The staff asked what was wrong and Jane replied, “what makes you think you are speaking to Jane?”
4. The Vampire
My mom worked in mental institutions in her younger years (and actually worked at a large, well-known asylum before it was shut down.)
There was one woman there that thought she was a vampire of sorts. She was only allowed out one hour a day, and they had to use safety precautions. She had already attacked and killed at least one hospital worker before these were enacted.
When my Mom asked about her, it was revealed that she had killed at least two of her children, wounded another as well as her husband because she had some sort of physical condition called Porphyria, which apparently made her crave blood.
By the time that they discovered there was something physically wrong with her, she already had lost her mind from guilt and grief.
5. The Spitter
I’m not a psychologist but my friend is. She told me about a patient of hers who was HIV positive and a paranoid schizophrenic. He thought that the nurses who worked at the hospital he was in were trying to kill him, so he would frequently bite his tongue, and spit HIV positive blood into their faces/mouths. When they had to come into contact with him, they were required to wear full masks and gloves.
6. The Only One
I once knew a woman who had spent part of her residency at a psychiatric hospital for people with severe mental conditions. Apparently, the grounds had a lovely, enclosed greenhouse. One day, one of their schizophrenic patients was sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette, as a heron frantically flew around. It had found its way in and, not being able to escape, it was smashing into the large panes of glass. The man just sat there watching.
Finally, my counselor asked him if the bird was bothering him and he kind of sighed and said, “Thank god, I thought I was the only one seeing that.”
7. Family Photographs
My sister is the director of a psychiatric hospital. There was recently a lady there who would cut her arms, legs and torso open and place photographs of her family under her skin.
8. Under the Bed
Once, a fellow female patient told me she found writings under her bed. They were just old, small wooden bed frames with hard mattresses that would make all kinds of noises when you rolled over, but I still wondered what exactly she was doing lying under her bed to find these writings.
When she first told me, I thought it was a joke. But sure enough, one day during group we managed to sneak away, and she showed me. Indeed, there were stories written under her bed. After that, we had everyone check under their own beds, and there was more writing under every single bed.
They were stories of patients who had stayed here before, or ways they were planning on killing themselves, or who the good and bad nurses were. It creeped me out.
9. Time of Death
Well, my mother was a nurse that specialized in geriatrics, and she worked for several hospice hospitals for many years. She often described situations at her work with several of the patients. She would say that each person tends to have a very similar “checklist” that they follow right before death. This checklist often ended in a very similar way.
They would get caught talking to someone that wasn’t there. When asked who they (otherwise lucid people) were talking to, they would describe an individual who was already dead. When asked what they were talking about, they would say that their relative wanted to know if they were ready to move on. A pretty common response would be, “Yeah, he/she said that she will take me tomorrow at 3:00.” Well, it would often happen that they would die at the exact time their relatives quoted.
10. The Test Subject
I had an hour-long conversion with a delusional guy who was confined to a mental health facility, and who was probably smarter than I am. Lots of these folks believe that somebody – often the CIA – is either beaming thoughts into their heads, or has implanted a microchip in their brains for this purpose. This guy was offering a very thoughtful argument as to why such claims should not be so quickly dismissed.
“It’s precisely because such delusions are so common that mental patients make the best test subjects,” he said. There he was, confined and protected, constantly observed, his health and behavior documented, and there is zero chance that anyone would ever take his concerns seriously. How else would you test and improve such technology? Does the government not have a strong motivation and a plausible ability to create such a device?
“You can see I’m not irrational,” the man said. “I’m just straight-up telling you that they are doing this to me. I know just how unbelievable it sounds, and yet, here I am.”
11. The Boy who Loved Knives
As a tech in psych years ago, there was a 7-year-old kid sent to the floor because the mom didn’t know what to do with him. Sadly, common thing to happen, even if the kids don’t have psych issues. Anyway, the mom was shaking and crying, and they had to take the kid into another room. She was genuinely afraid of her own son. She had suspected something was wrong when she kept finding mutilated animals in the backyard, but never heard or saw coyotes or anything around. The neighbors smaller pets started disappearing. The boy had an obsession with knives, hiding them around the house. Denying anything when the mom confronted him. Then when the two started getting into arguments, he would get really violent and hit her, push her down and kick her, threaten to kill her. On multiple occasions she woke up in the middle of the night with him standing beside her bed, staring her in the face. She put extra locks on her bedroom door to feel safe while she slept. The last straw was when she lifted up his mattress and found 50+ knives of all shapes and sizes under there. So she brought him to us.
I remember talking to him, treating him like he was just any other kid that came through. He seemed remarkably normal, until you spoke directly to him. He had this way of looking right through you, or maybe like he didn’t see you at all while you were speaking.
He would respond like a robot, like he was just saying words because that’s what we wanted to hear. And he would always put on this creepy, dead-looking smile. Like all mouth and no eye involvement in the smile. Especially when he would get away with something, like taking another kid’s markers and they couldn’t figure it out. Still gives me chills laying here thinking about him.
I believe I met a 7-year-old psychopath.
12. The New Mom
I was a pharmacy technician at a hospital with a psych ward for some time. We would have to go around with a cart and dispense the patients’ medications, and being a 5’2″ girl, a security guard or male nurse would accompany me, just as a precaution. I never had any real issues other than the occasional death grip onto my arm or manic outbursts, but there was one boy who was entirely different.
His chart said he was nine and he had pale skin, dark hair, and huge bright, green eyes. He always greeted me in the most polite way, asked how I was doing, and always found something different to compliment me on every time. He was extremely well-spoken and mature for his age, so I began looking forward to seeing him, as normal small talk is definitely cherished in that setting. If he saw me outside of his room in the halls, he made sure to say hello and always called me “Miss Jones” or “ma’am.”
One day, a couple of our female nurses saw me pause to chat with him in the hallway, and waved me over to ask if I was out of my mind. Apparently, when he was in kindergarten, he grew an intense attachment to his young female teacher.
This escalated to the point of him calling her “Mom” and leaving notes for her about how he wished he were her son. He had a normal home-life with both parents, and the teacher tried to explain to him that she couldn’t be his mom because that would hurt his real mother’s feelings, and that she already had that job covered.
So, he went home and, killed his own mother in her sleep by cutting her throat, so his teacher could be his mom. The female staff had a general rule of not interacting with him excessively to prevent any kind of attachment from forming.
13. Bugs
Nothing I can say can possibly describe the year I worked in Psychiatric Intensive Care. Creepy isn’t the thing that comes to mind when I think back on it…more heartbreaking and horrifying. But creepiness was a part of it. Especially evening and night shifts, naturally.
There is always something disturbing about watching someone while they hallucinate. You can tell it is 100% real to them, and something about that makes you believe it, on some level. A lot of stories end with, “and of course, I had to look over my shoulder to make sure”. You see the emotions it brings out.
There was a woman that came in and sat down across the table from me for her admission interview. She had bandages all over her arms and scotch tape over her mouth and ears. She looked very uncomfortable and wouldn’t really sit still. When the nurse would ask her a question, she would peel the corner of the tape back and answer, then stick the tape back on really fast.
We eventually found out that she saw and felt bugs crawling all over her, and they were trying to get inside her body. The tape was to keep the bugs out. The bandages were because some bugs got in and she had to dig them out. She couldn’t sit still because she felt the bugs all over her even while we sat and talked. The worst part was, she had some idea that it was her mind playing tricks on her. Can you imagine going through your life, feeling like someone is continuously dumping buckets of cockroaches on your head, feeling like they’re all over you and getting inside of you to the point that you’re digging chunks out of your flesh in a panic, all while knowing intellectually that none of it is real?

13 True Horror Stories from the Psychiatric Ward that Will Give You the Creeps
Death, illness and tragedy have long been part of the history of insane asylums, and for as long as they have existed, so too have the scary stories associated with them. From haunted hospitals to sadistic doctors and nurses, psychiatric wards have been the inspiration for many of our favorite horror movies and books. Yet, the true stories told by the psych ward workers below far surpass any horrors that we might have seen at the cinema or read in a book.
Without further ado, here are thirteen of some of the creepiest psych ward stories on the internet that have been shared by health care professionals.
1. Holding her own Eyes My mom told me this story from her time at a neuropsychiatric ward while she was in grad school. She was making her routine room checks and happened upon the most horrific scene I’ve ever heard.
This was during the night shift, and generally, all the patients’ bedroom doors should be closed. So my mom turned a corner and noticed an open door. She saw a staff member’s legs on the floor, halfway out the doorway.
When she looked into the room, she saw the patient, a woman with a severe postpartum psychiatric disorder, who had just gouged both of her own eyes out with her bare hands. She was sitting cross-legged on the floor, holding her eyes in her hands.
The first staff member to witness the scene, who was now lying face down on the floor, had a heart attack when he first witnessed the woman while he was making his rounds.
My mom screamed for help and frantically tried to perform CPR on the staff member. All the while, the woman just sat rather calmly, holding her own eyes.
2. The Saw I work as a psychotherapist in a hospital system. My definition of creepy is probably quite a bit different from other medical professionals.
The one that got to me the most was a patient who came to us after attempting suicide by sawing both his arms off at the forearm with a table saw. His arms were reattached, fairly successfully too, with only limited impairments in mobility. All I could think was how bad it would have to be to live in his head that sawing his arms off seemed better than that.
He has since completed suicide.
3. Jane? We had a young lady in our custody with quite a few issues. We’ll call her Jane. Jane’s first night at our facility staff doing a bed check found Jane in a puddle of blood. Turns out Jane had been slicing the skin around her shin with her finger nails and was pulling her skin up her leg, essentially de-gloving her calf.
Jane also had a ritual she performed every night before bed. While in her room she would run between walls in her room touching them in a crucifix pattern. After doing this for a few hours she would sit on her bed and go to sleep. This particular night Jane was frantic in her pace, practically running between walls. Our night staff observed the entire interaction and reported Jane screaming late into the night. When the staff went to check on Jane she reported Jane standing in the doorway smiling. The staff asked what was wrong and Jane replied, “what makes you think you are speaking to Jane?”
4. The Vampire My mom worked in mental institutions in her younger years (and actually worked at a large, well-known asylum before it was shut down.)
There was one woman there that thought she was a vampire of sorts. She was only allowed out one hour a day, and they had to use safety precautions. She had already attacked and killed at least one hospital worker before these were enacted.
When my Mom asked about her, it was revealed that she had killed at least two of her children, wounded another as well as her husband because she had some sort of physical condition called Porphyria, which apparently made her crave blood.
By the time that they discovered there was something physically wrong with her, she already had lost her mind from guilt and grief.
5. The Spitter I’m not a psychologist but my friend is. She told me about a patient of hers who was HIV positive and a paranoid schizophrenic. He thought that the nurses who worked at the hospital he was in were trying to kill him, so he would frequently bite his tongue, and spit HIV positive blood into their faces/mouths. When they had to come into contact with him, they were required to wear full masks and gloves.
6. The Only One I once knew a woman who had spent part of her residency at a psychiatric hospital for people with severe mental conditions. Apparently, the grounds had a lovely, enclosed greenhouse. One day, one of their schizophrenic patients was sitting on a bench, smoking a cigarette, as a heron frantically flew around. It had found its way in and, not being able to escape, it was smashing into the large panes of glass. The man just sat there watching.
Finally, my counselor asked him if the bird was bothering him and he kind of sighed and said, “Thank god, I thought I was the only one seeing that.”
7. Family Photographs My sister is the director of a psychiatric hospital. There was recently a lady there who would cut her arms, legs and torso open and place photographs of her family under her skin.
8. Under the Bed Once, a fellow female patient told me she found writings under her bed. They were just old, small wooden bed frames with hard mattresses that would make all kinds of noises when you rolled over, but I still wondered what exactly she was doing lying under her bed to find these writings.
When she first told me, I thought it was a joke. But sure enough, one day during group we managed to sneak away, and she showed me. Indeed, there were stories written under her bed. After that, we had everyone check under their own beds, and there was more writing under every single bed.
They were stories of patients who had stayed here before, or ways they were planning on killing themselves, or who the good and bad nurses were. It creeped me out.
9. Time of Death Well, my mother was a nurse that specialized in geriatrics, and she worked for several hospice hospitals for many years. She often described situations at her work with several of the patients. She would say that each person tends to have a very similar “checklist” that they follow right before death. This checklist often ended in a very similar way. They would get caught talking to someone that wasn’t there. When asked who they (otherwise lucid people) were talking to, they would describe an individual who was already dead. When asked what they were talking about, they would say that their relative wanted to know if they were ready to move on. A pretty common response would be, “Yeah, he/she said that she will take me tomorrow at 3:00.” Well, it would often happen that they would die at the exact time their relatives quoted.
10. The Test Subject I had an hour-long conversion with a delusional guy who was confined to a mental health facility, and who was probably smarter than I am. Lots of these folks believe that somebody – often the CIA – is either beaming thoughts into their heads, or has implanted a microchip in their brains for this purpose. This guy was offering a very thoughtful argument as to why such claims should not be so quickly dismissed.
“It’s precisely because such delusions are so common that mental patients make the best test subjects,” he said. There he was, confined and protected, constantly observed, his health and behavior documented, and there is zero chance that anyone would ever take his concerns seriously. How else would you test and improve such technology? Does the government not have a strong motivation and a plausible ability to create such a device?
“You can see I’m not irrational,” the man said. “I’m just straight-up telling you that they are doing this to me. I know just how unbelievable it sounds, and yet, here I am.”
11. The Boy who Loved Knives As a tech in psych years ago, there was a 7-year-old kid sent to the floor because the mom didn’t know what to do with him. Sadly, common thing to happen, even if the kids don’t have psych issues. Anyway, the mom was shaking and crying, and they had to take the kid into another room.

Like all mouth and no eye involvement in the smile. Especially when he would get away with something, like taking another kid’s markers and they couldn’t figure it out. Still gives me chills laying here thinking about him.
I believe I met a 7-year-old psychopath.
