Although Halloween is still a few months away, this eerie incident captured on video is sure to get many in the spooky spirit.
While there’s no shortage of horror films and TV shows on platforms like Netflix and Prime, this event is a real-life occurrence.
Surveillance footage from the Finochietto Sanatorium in Buenos Aires appears to show a security guard allowing a ‘ghost patient’ to enter through the hospital doors. Witness the unnerving moment below:
The situation is made even more unsettling by the fact that the patient had passed away the day before.
The viral video shows the security guard rising from his chair, clipboard in hand, as he greets a patient who seems to have just arrived at the hospital.
The guard then offers the patient a wheelchair, engages in conversation for a bit, and subsequently permits her to enter the lobby.
Following this, the two proceed to the doctor’s area together, with everything appearing to be perfectly normal.
Except, the only person visible in the footage is the security guard.
Remarkably, the patient the guard claims to have interacted with had died the day before.
On November 11, 2022, at 3:36 am, the security guard reported that an elderly woman had arrived asking to see a doctor.
He recorded her name and thought nothing of it until he later went to check on the patient a few hours afterward.
The security guard found out that no doctor had seen the woman since she had died the previous day. Spooky, right?
In response, the care center denied the presence of a ghost, suggesting the security guard might have been playing a prank.
They commented: “It is the door to one of the entrances that are open after hours, it is the entrance to see the duty doctor. As it was broken, it opened by itself 28 times during the 10 hours between Thursday night and Friday early morning.”
The spokesperson further explained: “There is no entry record of any person at that time. This gentleman pretends to be writing something, but when you go to the registry, no one appears.”
“No one entered and no one was registered either. But everything is under investigation. People are born and die every day in this sanatorium, so it is very difficult to relate this episode to any death.
“But it is ruled out, first of all because we do not have the name of the person who supposedly enters, since the man seen in the image did not write anything.”
