If you go looking for ghost stories, you very quickly stumble across haunted hospitals. In fact, it was finding so many tales about Cardiff Royal Infirmary that prompted this post in the first place.

And not all of the stories are necessarily sad. The resident ghost at St Nicholas Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne is known as 'Matron', but she's also said to be friendly.

But we're going to go beyond the typical hospitals of the internet listicle. Let's dig into the newspapers and local history to find our tales of haunted hospitals in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
