Something Is Doing Rounds In The Abandoned Hospital! | The Doctor (Fiction)

This episode of *Weird Darkness: Paranormal & True Crime Stories* blends a chilling fictional narrative with real-life reflections on emergency medical services (EMS) culture. The story, titled *The Doctor* by Technogoth and narrated by Darren Marlar, follows a rookie EMT stationed in an abandoned mining hospital in northern New Jersey. As she spends long, isolated nights in the decaying facility, she experiences eerie phenomena—running water turning on by itself, a flashlight moving through empty halls, and a disembodied voice waking her from sleep. These events culminate in a revelation from former security guards: the presence is that of a long-dead doctor who, even in death, continues his nightly rounds, trying to help those in need. The tale is framed by Marlar’s personal recollections of his family’s deep roots in EMS, where superstitions are widespread despite the profession’s scientific veneer. He recounts how his mother, a paramedic, witnessed similar occurrences and how the belief in the 'doctor' became a shared, unspoken truth among responders. The episode concludes with a meditation on the thin line between science and the unseen, suggesting that the most rational among us may still be haunted by the intangible.
