Ep 12. Body and Spirit

Haunted Hospitals is a spine-chilling docu-series that delves into the eerie and inexplicable events that have occurred in a range of hospitals across the world. This show takes a scientific and historical approach to the tales, exploring the paranormal events while respecting the history and legacy of each hospital. Each episode focuses on one institution, and in this particular episode - Body and Spirit - the spotlight is on the haunting of Humber River Hospital in Toronto, Canada.

The episode begins with the hospital staff detailing their unnerving experiences of inexplicable incidents that they have witnessed in the facility, such as doors opening and closing by themselves, strange noises in the hallways, and even a nurse seeing an apparition of a patient who had supposedly passed away. It is spine-tingling footage and testimonials.

The plot centres around an intensive care unit with a dark history. The patients in this unit are typically in a critical condition, and it is not rare for them to pass away while under medical care. What makes this ICU section so haunted is that the staff believes that once someone passes away in the unit, their spirits refuse to leave. The staff explains that they have heard voices and seen ghostly figures in the bed, hallways, and even a little girl running in and out of the rooms.

The show delves into the history of the hospital and how the land came to be used for the building. The hospital was built on the land that used to be a jail and a farm. The jail had a reputation of being notorious and inhumane, whereas the farm was the home of two centuries-old buildings that were thought to have been used during the Underground Railroad, which could explain the powerful energy believed to be with the grounds.

To investigate the hauntings, the show hired a paranormal investigator - Morgan Knudsen. Morgan is a young, talented and passionate investigator with a unique ability to communicate with spirits. Morgan is the perfect fit as she is young and relatable, and throughout the show, it is quite evident that she is genuinely invested in validating the experiences of the hospital staff and patients.

Morgan and the hospital staff are taken into the parts of the hospital where the hauntings were reported. From intensive care beds where a patient died, to the basement where a nurse saw a ghostly figure with bleeding wounds, Morgan conducts a scientific paranormal investigation, capturing footage of strange noises, chilling shadows, and glaring orbs through thermal imaging and EVP. The episode culminates in an emotional and profound scene where Morgan uses her 'gift' to communicate with the spirits of patients who supposedly passed away.

In conclusion, Haunted Hospitals: Body and Spirit, is a bone-chilling and thrilling episode that will leave you glued to your screen. The science and history behind the paranormal occurrences elevate the episode above typical horror programming, and Morgan Knudsen's investigation style is compelling and intriguing. If you're a fan of horror, then this episode is a must-watch.
