Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow

The New Stobhill Hospital opened in 2009 replacing the pre existing Stobhill Hospital. This older hospital dated back to 15 September 1904, when it was officially opened as a Poor Law Hospital. In an article entitled ‘Ghosts of sisters past’ [The Guardian, 22 December 2004], Mark Gould gives the following account of a the Stobhill Hospital ghost. ‘Occasionally, a vision manifests itself in a helpful way. At Stobhill hospital, Glasgow, a student nurse spotted a woman – whom she assumed was the night sister – “slip into a side ward near the door”. She followed her to ask a question and was surprised to find no one in the ward but a patient who had lost consciousness and needed immediate help.’
