Question

Why is it that if so many ppl die at hospitals, paranormal activity is so infrequently registered at them?

Answer 1

Maybe because the people have more of a sense of closure as compared to a place where people were murdered. Alot of people in the hospital are so sick, they are always aware that death is imminent

Answer 2

Think about it, if  it were you and your family had gone home, would you stay at the hospital if you did not have to????

Answer 3

I know of a nursing home with an old unused wing that the staff says is haunted.

Answer 4

In old Hospitals (built prior to 1900), we have examined reported Paranormal Activity in those. As we are Paranormal Examiners, specializing in Structures built in the 1800's and Battlefields, we have had the Opportunity to look into a number of them.  

For the most part, there aren't that many Examinations conducted in modern-day Hospitals, nor do the Hospitals encourage any type of Paranormal Examination.

Keep in mind:  80% of the Suspected Activity in any Location can be rationally explained (i.e.: "de-bunked") after an Objective and Scientific Analysis.

Hope that helps!

Answer 5

Many hospitals are haunted...A hospital is just to busy to notice. It is after a hospital has closed down and things go quiet that they are noticed.

The day of severe conditions and mistreatment of patients has for the most part disappeared so people do not suffer from things like dysentery and gangrene which is a slow long painful cruel death. Also many people want to return to family so they latch on and go home.

Answer 7

actually hospitals, funeral homes and nursing homes have a good bit of activity.  But then, your dealing with mainstream science and in todays society most hospitals are run by large corporations and they are not about to draw attention to any paranormal activity.  The media dept at these places work overtime in some cases with a very large broom to sweep it under the rug, so that no one is reallt aware.

Answer 8

So many people die at hospitals because many are about to die when they get to the hospital.

That is why they are there, because something is seriously wrong with them.

Why do so many swimmers get wet?

Answer 9

There is so much going on at a hospital for anyone to notice. Not only that but just b/c someone dies at a hospital does not mean it is where their soul or energy will be trapped. They can haunt any location from their past that had significance to their life, a place or object that impacted their life strong enough to leave an impression on. You should also take into consideration whether it is an intelligent or residual haunt.

Answer 10

Normal death is common in places like hospitals that's why paranormal activities don't manifest on some of them. However, there are certain hospitals that are haunted. In certain cases where there have been multiples deaths that have occured in a single day, or series of deaths occuring in successive intervals, haunting is reported. Cases like the casualties of a major disaster, during times of war, or a full-scale epidemic outbreak.

Answer 11

Not true.  My sister is a nurse.  She trained at Charing Cross Hospital in London and there were a lot a strange goings on reported by the nurses there, particularly on the night shift.  One that comes to mind is when one of her friends was on night duty.  She was sitting at a desk writing up some stuff and saw someone coming towards her.  It took her a moment or two to realise that the person wasn't walking, but floating!  Then they disappeared.  There have also been sounds of breathing in an empty room.  A few more, but that's it for now.

Answer 12

A hospital is a social place, and there are many living people to watch to keep attention off the dead ones.  Hospices and retirement homes are the same way - the living are half-dead already, so any strange paranormal activity does not 'pop out' of the bigger picture.

Answer 13

Most people who visit hospital are there for a short amount of time.  In my experience it takes time to build a "relationship" (for lack of better words) with any spirit.  

Spirits are theorized to gravitate toward people in a weak state of mind.  Perhaps those patients fortunate enough to have contact, are already viewed as delusional or crazy so their sighting would be ignored.

Hospital are like any other business.  They are there to make money.  If ghost stories show up in the media about this or that hospital being haunted, people are bound to avoid that location.  People avoiding your business location is a sure way to kill your revenue.

Answer 14

It's because hospitals aren't "spooky". At least modern day, well lit hospitals. You need the spooky factor before people start freaking out about ghosts.

Answer 15

most people don't want to go to a hospital when they're alive so i  guess they wouldn't hang around when they die.

Answer 16

It depends how aware you are. Maybe you are trying too hard.

Answer 17

Because hospitals are full of intelligent, well educated people who know better than to believe in fairy tales.

Answer 18

Maybe there is less bullshiit happening at the hospitals.

Answer 19

Maybe there aren't any psychics around hospitals. I doubt they'd allow them to come in and investigate anyway.

Answer 20

Your information is mostly incorrect. Almost any nurse you speak to can tell you at least one story of an unusual (unexplained) occurrence concerning a persons death at a hospital or unexplained activity within the hospital.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D. reported actually having a conversation with a younger version of one of her older patients that was hours away from death.

Karlis Osis examined the near death experiences of patients in his book "At the Hour of Death" (link below) as did Raymond Moody, M.D. years later in his book "Life After Life" (link below)
