A GHOST NURSE

SEEMINGLY CARRYING A KNIFE Report from Health Laboratory > (N.Z^.P.A.— Copyright) (Rec. 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 11. The ghost of a pretty nurse with golden hair, carrying what appeared to be a knife, has been seen in the Nottingham Public Health Laboratory by three girls, two of them technicians. One girl said: “We went into the guineapig house to feed the guineapigs. We had just given them some cabbage leaves when suddenly they all stopped squealing. There was absolute silence and the atmosphere went cold. Then the nurse appeared. First she put her left hand through a slightly-open door, holding what looked like an instrument or knife. Then she glided before us and after a few moments vanished. I had a clear vision of her and could identify her in a .minute. The guineapig house used to be a mortuary. The ghost nurse was about 27, with a very pretty face and golden hair.” The doctor in charge of the laboratory said: “It is strange that three girls should each give the same description independently. I am not a sceptic. If a person says she saw something, nobody can prove that she did not. They are sensible girls, aged 16, 19 and 20. I would like to get to the bottom of the matter.”
