Angel Nurse
by Luke Jones

This isn't really a ghost story as such but has always left my mum and I wondering. This happened ten years ago during the summer of 1998. I was eight years old at the time and I had been diagnosed with bone cancer. I had come down with an infection, which meant I had to go to hospital and I stayed there for about two weeks.

One evening, my mother was sitting at my bed side, I was sleeping, so I don't remember anything, but my mother does. There was this nurse who came in to check my temperature. My mum noticed that this nurse was odd looking. She was wearing this old-fashioned 1960s-style nurse clothing, and she was totally outdated. My family are Christians and my mum was praying for me at the time. This nurse noticed my mum had a Bible by the side of my bed, and it turns out that this nurse was a Christian, too. She prayed for me and my healing and then she left and we never saw her again for the rest of them two weeks.

I came out of the hospital fully healed of my infection. This was ten years ago and I am fully healed of cancer. I am 18 and getting on with my life. My mum believes this nurse could have been a guardian angel coming down to give my mum some hope. If she wasn't an angel, why would she be wearing 1960s old-fashioned nurse clothing? Really weird, don't you think so?
