Exorcist Summoned after Staff Spooked at Derby Royal Hospital

Authorities of a British hospital are summoning an exorcist to drive away the ghost that is supposedly haunting their premises.  Staff have reportedly seen a mysterious apparition in the building, "Several have seen a male figure cloaked from head to toe in black darting between rooms and through walls - especially in departments near the morgue."

Derby has a reputation for being a centre for supernatural activity, according to a recent investigation conducted by paranormal researcher Lionel Fanthorpe.  The Supernatural Britain Report examined ghost sightings in 40 cities across the UK, and Derby came top of the list.  His research uncovered 315 reports of ghosts and poltergeists in the city - an average of 14 sightings per 10,000 members of its population.

Managers deny an exorcism is to take place, although a chaplain is due to speak to the workers.  See video at BBC.com.
