Full title: Unusual Perceptual Experiences in Hospital Settings and Anomalous Experiences in Nurses

Abstract. There is a large number of unusual experiences on the part of doctors, caregivers, and nurses, sometimes in relation to hospitalized patients; however, although such professionals have themselves been witness to inexplicable events. Dozens of unexplained experiences, such as visions in people about to die, near-death experiences, or patients who recover suddenly and totally from illnesses after a religious intervention. Nurses themselves have often had their own experiences in a hospital context, such as seeing apparitions, noting significant “coincidences, ”seeing energy fields, lights, or “electric shocks” around ‒or coming out of‒ a hospitalized patient, observing anomalous behavior in animals, anomalous functioning of equipment or medical instruments, intuitively “knowing”the nature of a patient’s illness or when he or she will die, or having unexpected experiences in intensive care units, neonatology areas, or pediatric or neuropsychiatric services.
