The Apparition of the old Fleming County Hospital

One of the newest ghost stories that I have heard was the story of the apparition at the old Fleming County Hospital, in Flemingsburg, Kentucky. The hospital is a small local hospital that was built in stages in the 1960’s and 70’s. At one time the hospital had a facility located in the West Wing called The Extended Care Facility. This was basically a nursing home for people who either due to age or illness would never be able to return to a normal life at home. This would later be phased out as that a local nursing home was constructed.

During the 1990’s the hospital began to regain some status as more and more specialist began working with it. The surgery quantity and quality began to pick-up as well as several other specialties. One of the newer services that was offered was a Sleep Lab. This is used to analyze sleep disorders to so that proper patient care can be given. The Sleep Lab was located in the West Wing where the Extended Care Facility once was.

One night a man and his wife were at the lab. They began calling for help from the nurses. A large spider web like object began to appear and disappear in the room over the bed as though it was phasing in and out of existence. The man, his wife along with several hospital staff witnessed the event. This must have went on for several minutes as that the staff was able to get a video camera and tried to tape the event. Unfortunately the tape failed to re-play afterward.

The Sleep Lab was later moved to a different part of the hospital and offices were located in the West Wing until demolition in late 2008.

It would be interesting to know what the diagnosis was for the patient. I would also like to know if the apparition was tied to the patient or to the room.
