Oddity-628

**One thing about the modern day St Alice hospital that becomes slowly apparent to any staff member is the vast differences in the architectural designs and aesthetics of different parts of the complex. But there's even stranger parts... And no, this page is NOT talking about the basements...**

Before the St Alice hospital as we know it now, there was the St Alice Infirmary which was roughly a third the size of St Alice North. When demand outrun the infirmary's capabilities, it was dire that an upgrade was needed. So, eventually, the majority of the infirmary was actually partially demolished and mostly built over. Its gone... Right? Well. If you've worked in St Alice North for any length of time, you would have at least heard of one of the Corridors from the Infirmary. These are corridors that actually used to be a part of the old St Alice Infirmary! For some reason, architects kept these specific corridors when constructing St Alice North because- well, no one knows really.

## Corridor F161

Corridor F161 used to be an auxiliary connection corridor between washing rooms, laundry chutes and nearby wards but nowadays it connects several general non-specialised wards to one of many connectors. Interestingly, staff working near it and who have to go through it often report that the corridor feels "off" and strangely empty. This isn't that new either. Even builders who were refurbishing the corridor left immediately and some hated working on it.

Anomalously, there doesn't seem to be a rational explanation for the effect since the corridor was certainly not near parts of the old infirmary which would be considered as pertaining to possible abnormal occurrences, such as intensive care units, like the other corridors listed here. A current "theory" could involve an unknown, undocumented event that happened in the corridor but that's purely theoretical.

Every month, the CRF sends some scientists to assess the corridor and so far there hasn't been any changes. Other than that, the CRF doesn't seem to be concerned with Corridor F161 and claims that it doesn't even meet the criteria for LPA status (Low Priority ARP).

## Corridor 628

Corridor 628 used to be a corridor that connected several units (equivalent in function to Surgical-Assessment-Units) to some pre-operation and preparation areas. Now Corridor 628 connects several laboratories, pathology units and offices.

Corridor 628 is the most "famous" corridor out of the ones left from the infirmary due to its rather grim history as well as its mysterious effects. Earliest documentation from St Alice Infirmary indicate that this corridor has had unusual events and has been mentioned in incident reports right from day 1 after being built. However, it seems that the corridors mysterious effects have changed over time with early reports detailing occurrences like whistling being heard and an intense desire to buy flowers.

Current reports are a lot less charming; ranging from blood stains suddenly appearing on the walls, blood beginning to pour from the ceiling vents to chairs moving or outright disappearing and reappearing. Staff feel that the corridor has a creepy feeling and often people feel like they're being watched whilst in the corridor alone, especially after the lights turn themselves off. Strange things occur in Corridor 628 even when there isn't anyone there! CCTV has seen many "unknown para-thauthological phenomena" whilst out of hours.

The grim history involves the corridor being an emergency ward during several intense tuberculosis epidemics fairly specific to the south east. Such scenes like emergency surgery were common and mortality ratings were as bad as 1 in 6.

The CRF seem to be very concerned about the corridor as they assess it every two weeks as well as placing alarms and sensors in the corridor to detect any physical presences when no one is meant to be there... We aren't sure why yet. This easily makes Corridor 628 one of the most monitored corridors in St Alice North. A representative of the CRF has said that the corridor does indeed have ARP status although maintains that "it is safe to use and updates will be given should an assessment report any changes to Corridor 628's behavior". Which ARP the corridor is, hasn't been released to the public.

## Corridor 12511E

Corridor 12511E used to be a corridor that connected psychiatric wards, individual patient rooms and several padded rooms (then called "Patient Safety rooms") together. Those original padded rooms are long gone. It now connects several outpatient clinics and GP offices. Because this corridor was designed for psychiatric patients, many handrails can be seen and a security door, taken from this corridor, can be seen in the St Alice museum. The corridor also still has numerous sections separated by checkpoints where the security doors would have been as well but these have been replaced by ordinary fire doors.

The effects of Corridor 12511E are very strange to say the least. Lights turning off is fairly common. Many staff who go through Corridor 12511E often report a strong feeling of dread as well as frequently seeing "glimpses" of young children with some reporting disembodied laughing. Rarely, people say that they started to feel very "silly" and immature whilst being in the corridor with the mysterious behavior disappearing as soon as they enter a room or go into another corridor.

Interestingly, this corridor's effects seem to have manifested recently with the first reports occurring after St Alice North was completed. Also, the corridor's effects stop abruptly when entering any of the adjacent rooms which, considering some of them used to be padded rooms, doesn't really make sense.

It would seem that the CRF couldn't care more about Corridor 12511E with assessments every two weeks and even CCTV cameras. Currently, a statement said that the hallway has gained LPA status although a bit more was implied with "previous assessments had failed to properly quantify the corridor's abilities and the corridor's behaviors have not been well established. More assessments will rectify this and should indicate if the corridor needs a higher status than LPA". As of now, we haven't heard of anything new.

## Corridor A384

Corridor A384 used to be a corridor that connected several dormitories in the St Alice Infirmary and acted as a small connector between the staff dorms and the rest of the infirmary. At the present, the corridor is now a major connector hallway.

This particular corridor's effects are... unsettling... A vast majority of the reports involving this corridor involve hearing ... "things"... And some of the reports mention "seeing unknown figures in the dark" as well as "lighting fixtures becoming non-responsive, flashing or outright turning off". There's five incidences of seeing an outline of something coming towards them and another 17 reports detailing an intense feeling of isolation and loneliness.

The CRF seems especially worried about Corridor A384, with assessments every 5 days, multiple sensors and even having live feeds from the CCTV cameras in there. Every 5 days!... Once again, a statement expresses that "under so-called normal conditions, Corridor A384 is safe to use. Current understanding indicates that the corridor's behaviors are known and are not changing. However, due to concerns with recent reports and the potential of the hallway, Corridor A384 is being closely monitored and should any assessments return unexpected results, an update will be issued and policy regarding the corridor will be changed as necessary". Reps say that the corridor has been given LPA status but is about to be reclassified as ARP status. We'll add more details when we get them.
