‘Ghostly’ phenomena we can’t explain: nurses and the paranormal
Nursing staff are not alone in reporting unexplained or paranormal experiences – but some believe these reports may be more common among healthcare staff due to their workplace environments and experiences with death. For some nurses these encounters shape their understanding of life and death, beyond what science explains. In this article, nurses recall their own unexplained or paranormal experiences, and a professor who specialises in parapsychology discusses how phenomena such as near-death experiences, and traditions such as opening windows after death, may help inform compassionate clinical care practices.
