Hospital General de Culiacán — the nun and the child haunt Sinaloa's hospital

The Hospital General de Culiacán in Culiacán, Sinaloa, is allegedly haunted by two ghosts — a nun and a child. The nun, dressed in the traditional habit of a nursing sister, is seen walking the corridors during the night shift, apparently checking on patients who are no longer there. The child, described as a young boy in a hospital gown, appears in the paediatric wing and has been seen by both staff and patients. Nurses working overnight describe hearing the nun's rosary beads clicking as she walks, and some patients have reported being comforted by a kindly sister who checks on them during the night — but when they describe her to the morning staff, no one matching the description works at the hospital. The child's ghost has been seen peering around corners and hiding behind curtains, as though playing a game. Mexican hospitals, particularly older ones, have a strong tradition of ghost stories connected to the Catholic religious orders that originally established and ran many of the country's medical institutions. The nun's continued rounds and the child's playful presence reflect the benevolent side of Mexican ghost traditions.
