Woodland Hospital in Cullman, Alabama
My husband works at a small hospital in Alabama. Although this might seem uninteresting, this hospital is always a source of interesting gossip and fascinating stories. One of these stories comes from the many nurses my husband spends his days with. Apparently, not so long ago there was a hospital in Cullman Alabama called Woodland Hospital. This hospital is now closed, but the nurses that used to work there remember a ghost named "Homer" all too well.
Homer wandered the halls of this small hospital causing distress in all who saw him. According to one nurse, she was walking through the hospital one day when she felt a coldness spread out over her and she suddenly felt distressed, as if there was something wrong. She turned just in time to see a door slam behind her and hear her coworker run screaming in the other direction. Her coworker reports that she saw a ghost walk by the nurse and brush up against her closing the door behind her.
These nurses aren't the only ones that felt this dark presence at this hospital. Many employees have reported seeing the deceased wandering empty rooms, hearing toilets flushing by themselves, hearing phantoms voices, and seeing ice machines start by themselves. The stories of "Homer" and the other ghosts that have wandered these now forgotten halls are numerous. It is my hope to do a part two of this story after I talk to more employees and go to see the hospital myself.

They have a smoking room on the opposite side of the hospital away from patients rooms on a different hall towards the back where you can also hear faint noises and doors closing. I am almost positive when the current psych ward closes there will be even more appearances, I love hearing stories from them, and their happenings at work :)
One day while we were outside in the fenced in yard, I approached the nurse that was watching us and I saud "So tell me about Homer?". She looked at me for a moment in shock and I said "You know, Homer the ghost here". After another lengthy pause she replied "We`re not allowed to talk about that". Later while I was in a meeting with the main nurse, I posed the question again. She said on condition of anonymity that Homer is very real and everyone that works there has had an experience or two. She also mentioned that there is one room that they keep closed and she says there is a very dark entity in there. She then told me not to mention this to any of the other patients.
