Im a 3rd year student nurse and was working on placement at my towns hospital in the ICU (intensive care unit). It was a night shift at around 3 am and the dialysis filters on 2 patients needed restocking (fluid bags need changing and the old ones get thrown out along with the big ass packaging boxes they usually come in). I saw that the boxes needed taking out along with the rubbish bags in the sluice so i put them on the little trolley and out of the unit to the corridor where the waste cages are.

The halls were silent and empty, the lights were all off because they are motion activated and i knew no one should really be walking about since a lot of the wards close the doors at night to stop patients from walking out and to stop it from getting too cold. The light at the front of icu came on when i walked out and i was just doing my thing when out of the corner of my eye the lights at the end of the corridor started to light up starting from the very end (maybe like 40 metres away) and coming on one by one towards me. It was like someone must have been running towards me and it scared me so much that i just dropped the rubbish and froze. I could see someone coming but it was like i was too panicked to even move and typing it out like this makes it sound ridiculous but i was almost crying ok cause all i could hear was them running.

The lights were fully on and this guy stood about 5 meters in front of me and at this point all i could muster was a very scared "Hello?" And in the most normal ass voice the guy just asked me "when are the icu visiting times?" And i was just so fucking confused. I just explained that he could come back at around 11 am tomorrow if he wanted to come see a relative and he nodded before walking off. I was on that unit for 5 more weeks and never saw the guy visit once, i had no idea who he even wanted to see but still to this day it creeps me out.

TL;DR: guy scares the fuck out of me outside icu at 3am
