The Old Woman, all in black, in Room 28 Linden House
Room 28 of Linden House female nurses home was the site of many strange happenings. One nurse tells me she once woke up after a dream and there - at the end of the bed was an old woman, all in black! The nurse said the old woman leaned over, looked at her and the nurse could distinctly hear the sound of a ball bearing falling to the floor. Initially the nurse thought it was all just part of a dream.
Many years later that same nurse was in conversation with another senior member of staff and in the course of this, reference was made to room 28, the apparition of the old woman and the detail of the ball bearing falling. They had experienced the same phenomenon!
The nurse later learned that many staff who stayed in room 28 had experienced something strange. Many years later when the nurse moved away, became married and had a family, she heard from a domestic supervisor who worked there at the time that room 28 had eventually been locked up even though accomodation was scarce. The feather on the camel's back was when an Indonesian nurse had suffered a dark experience there.
They tell me that one thing is certain, that 28 Linden House had many bad experiences attached to it and that finally all the room numbers were switched around so as not to raise suspicions and bring unwelcome attention.
I see it's all boarded up now and ready for demolition. I wonder what the future will hold when the new houses go up?
