“This place scares me, Amanda,” Carrie, a student nurse, remarked to her friend.
“Yes, Carrie, it scares me too. I can’t believe we have to live here during our nurse’s training,” Amanda replied.
“You know this place used to be a hospital for people with smallpox?” Carrie said.
The girls were walking along the corridor of the Renfield building, now a training center for nurses. They were returning to their rooms.
The corridor became cold and the girls heard a moan.
“What was that?”
In front of them, there was a dim apparition. A person walking and moaning. They ran.

This picture has inspired many a ghost story. With good reason!
Don’t think I would want to stay there either!

The matrons certainly shed tears over me. You have reminded me that once in 1969 on entering the basement of a early victorian hospital at night the floor turned to liquid!

Dear Rosemary,
I imagine that might have been a spooky place to do their nursing training. Good bit of historical fiction with a ghost thrown in for good measure.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Ugh, training in such a place and then having a ghost appear… nothing will be able shake these nurses once they’ve completed their training.

I was wondering: Did you choose the name Renfield for the building as a node to the character from Dracula?
