Working as a nurse is undeniably one of the most challenging occupations I have ever experienced. It consistently puts my patience and endurance to the test. While handling sick patients poses its own difficulties, encountering the supernatural is an unforgettable encounter. I began my usual night shift routine by visiting my ward to ensure the patients were asleep or if they required any assistance. Upon entering a separate area, I noticed that the room was nearly empty, saved for an elderly man peacefully sleeping in the corner. Everything seemed fine until approximately 3:35 am when I suddenly heard a faint laughter coming from outside the room. Though barely audible, I was almost certain it originated from a child. However, considering the fact that the floor I work on does not accommodate children and lacks the necessary facilities to treat them, I was instantly filled with unease. Despite not being able to hear it clearly, I could unmistakably identify the laughter as that of a child.The incident abruptly ended, leading me to believe it was over. As I ventured into the hallway adjacent to the wards, I suddenly heard laughter again. This time, however, the laughter was accompanied by the sound of footsteps, almost as if someone was running around. Frightened by what I heard, I instinctively ran to the opposite end of the hallway. In my panic, I accidentally collided with a colleague. Curious about her destination, I inquired where she was headed. She informed me that she was going downstairs to a nearby convenience store. Intrigued, I decided to follow her and we took the elevator down. Noticing my rapid breathing, she asked what was wrong. I explained that I had heard a child's laughter outside the wards. She shared that the wards used to accommodate child patients in the past, suggesting that it might have been what I heard. As the remainder of my shift passed and the clock struck 5:30 am, some patients began to awaken gradually. With time, the feeling of fear diminished.
