This true story happened many years ago - Sister Eli  – Invisible Footsteps

Outside it was cold and the wind could be heard in the trees. It was warm inside and Sister Eli had only 3 hours left of her duty. The night had gone well. The patients were sleeping and Sister Eli was looking forward to a well earned day off. But, then came the footsteps.

At first, Sister Eli thought nothing. But, being curious, she put down her tea and left her small office to look. There was no one. There was only the sound of the footsteps. And, as they came closer, Sister Eli could feel the feeling of freezing cold fear and she was unable to move. And, the footsteps went on and carried on into the ward. And, there they stopped at a man's bed. An old man who lay sleeping. And, then all of a sudden there was nothing. The ice cold feeling had gone and Sister Eli was once again alone with her patients. She felt a bit weak, but otherwise fine. But, then came the shock.

The man was dead and his sheets were covered with blood! Quickly, Sister Eli went back to her office and picked up the phone. 2 minutes later the doctor on duty was there.

Shiveringly and unable to speak, Sister Eli pointed to where the man lay. But, 2 seconds later the doctor was back. There was no trace of blood and the patient was alive and still fast asleep. And smiling, the doctor went on his way.

And, everyone else was smiling as well. No one believed Sister Eli. But, it was true. And, years later Sister Eli made a discovery. There had been other nurses, too. And, they, too had heard footsteps, and had also found people dead, - and all in the middle of the night - and in the same ward. And, then Sister Eli felt strong. It had not been a dream. She had experienced something unusual.

Outside it was cold and the wind could be heard in the trees and Sister Eli had only 3 hours of work left to do. The night had gone well. But, then came the footsteps and with them a feeling. And, this Sister Eli has never forgotten. An invisible ghost with an ice cold feeling of fear.
