Comment of the week: Ghost on the unit

iStockphoto + Scrubs

I work in an aged care facility and we had a lady who would ring the call bell every day at 14:30 hours for the staff to make her a cup of tea. When she passed, the bell in that room continued to ring at that same time every day. When a new resident moved in to occupy the unit, the call bell stopped ringing. When that resident moved on and the room was vacated, amazingly enough the call bell began ringing again at 2:30 p.m. every day until the room was filled again. This still goes on to this day every time the room is empty!
