Nurses, though known to be one of the bravest people in the world, have our own deepest, darkest and scariest stories to tell. Most of us probably had at least one freaky stuff at our hospital workplace or even at home which is the totally terrifying and completely real occurrence.

It is during this time of the year when we are possibly unwilling to prepare ourselves for the many creepy horror stories that are just about to be told, heard and be felt anywhere!

Below is a list of the latest creepy two-liner sentences about supernatural encounters of nurses gathered and submitted through Nurseslabs.com.
