The day after birthing my first child, my husband was hungry and left to get food. (Hospital only feeds the mother after the first night)
My newborn pre-term son was in the nursery between feedings so I figured I’d try to get a short nap.

The lights were off in the room but there was dim evening light filtering in, so the room was not dark.

I closed my eyes and felt 3 pats on my belly followed by 3 pats on my shoulder.

I opened my eyes but no one was in the room with me.

I didn’t feel anything sinister… I felt like something said “You just had a baby. Congratulations.”

I spoke with a few night nurses who said that they never have seen anything personally, but they have heard from others that people in old style clothing have been spotted in the hallways.

Someone once told me that the hospital was once used by the military, but I can’t find any record of this.
