Haslar Hospital

I was a contract minibus driver for Cols Cars in Lee-On-Solent my job was to pick up Pilipino nurses from St Marys every morning at 06:30 then drop them off at Haslar around 07:15 then pick them up again from Haslar at 21:15 and take them back to St Marys, but because it was late at night I would drop them off at their homes rather than them have to walk from St Marys to their homes.
There were times when I would listen to the nurses tell their scary stories to each other I heard about voices in the corridors and a face at the window and strange noises at night. I use to laugh to myself thinking what a load of rubbish, but all this was about to change.
I remember the night very well it was November 23rd 2003 it was a Sunday night. I pulled up outside Accident and emergency at about 21:05 I was a little early because on a Sunday I use to do my paperwork (hospital Job sheet for the week) in the cab, the engine was off, my cab light was on and I was looking down writing out my job sheet, then a figure in black went past my driverside window as clear as anything but because I was looking down I didn’t get a proper look but even though you see something out the corner of your eye it was definitely a figure of some sort, as it passed I looked in my door mirror to see who it was….. and yes you have guessed it nothing was there, I put my worksheet down opened my door got out and looked around, there was nothing! I remember feeling very sick it came on all of a sudden but the feeling also went just as quick, to say I was scared is an understatement, my hand was so shaky I couldn’t finish my timesheet, when the nurses came out they said their hellos and how have I been and I just said I’m fine, I thought it best not to say anything and I have never told anyone but my wife about this, my wife has told a few people but only friends, the next few nights my wife came with me on the runs, it was a 8 seater transit but the most I ever picked up was 5 nurses so there was plenty of room but when you want something like this to happen it doesn’t.
I did the job for another 10 months and it never happened again.
