" Google “hospital spirits,” and you will find links to sites ranging from “haunted hospitals,” to blogs written by nurses telling of their experiences with the spirit world in the halls of working hospitals and those long-closed.

If there are no other options, at least first purify the space of wandering spirits, dark emotions, and thoughts. "
