Childlike “Angel of Death” stalks La Crosse nursing home
Posted By adviser On October 23, 2009
Most have heard eerie tales pertaining to hospitals and nursing home deaths, whether it be ghosts of those that have passed in the vicinity, or simply unexplained phenomena. However, a particular nursing home in La Crosse bears a more peculiar story.
It has been reported that nurses working in the home are used to deaths coming in threes, usually only within days or even hours of each other. Those that occupy the home brace themselves for the worst. It is not random death spurts without warning — they have their own little angel of death to warn them of what is to come. Though this ‘angel’ is not the stereotypical scythe bearing reaper, it has become a symbol of its own for those who call this La Crosse nursing home their own.
Rumors say that a small boy wearing a baseball cap and carting around a cat come and visit various patients. Mostly those with Alzheimer’s, and dementia see this unnerving sight, but it has been said that two patients with no dementia have also seen this horrific pint sized ghost wandering about. Sometimes those who see the boy are among those who die, sometimes not. Staffers have not experienced the sight of the boy, but have heard countless residents over the years speak about him. The boy can come at any time of the day, whether it be two in the morning or one in the afternoon, he follows no schedule and leaves with disturbing aftermath behind him.
Some of the nursing home residents have tossed around the idea of the visitor being a little boy who had lived near the site and perhaps drowned, they have not conjured up a theory for the cat that accompanies his visits. Whether their theories are true or not, it is certainly a legend that will stay with the home for years to come.
You have to wonder if the people on the bed are “rich” and this zero-as-child ghost has come to take their EEEVIL income.
