I've worked hospice before and seen some beautiful things. I woman who said it was time to go see her husband. She had dementia. She put on her best outfit and jewelry. Went outside and sat in the sun. Tilted her face up smiled and said heaven is so warm and passed with a smile on her face. More beauty then darkness.
That's beautiful. They know, we had a resident in the home I worked in, she was 100 yrs old but you'd never know it, she should've been in an assisted living community. One day she told the other nurse to call the Dr. it.was her time to go, she thanked her for everything and asked to to tell everybody else the same then went and lied on her bed and passed. None of us could believe it.
I don't usually listen to someone telling a story but I'm going blind and I came across your story today. I was felt like I was actually sitting next to you while you told this story. It was so deep and you told it beautifully. Ty so much for sharing. I'll be back for more. 💜⚘
Lighthouse is definitely one of the best, but since you said your new to listening to stories some other very good narrators out there to check out are Creepy Ghost Stories (he's tied as my favorite with Lighthouse), CreepsMcPasta, and Mr. Creeps. They are all very good and post everyday so there's always something new to listen to.
I was a Funeral Director for over 25 years, my first year I was was embalming this man, it was late, close to 11 pm. I dropped an instrument and bent over to pick it up, the guys arm fell and hit me on the head, scared the bejeebies out of me, I quickly finished my work and left asap. I knew this could happen but being alone that night just felt so creepy. When I went back the next day I was still creeped out and when I told my boss he pretty much laughed and said welcome to the world of embalming
LMAO I COULD NOT IMAGINE I WORK WITH THE DEAD BUT NOT IN THE FLESH NO WAY IN HELL THO I FIND BEING A MORTICIAN VERY INTRIGUING I ALWAYS HAVE BUT DEAD BODIES THEY SAY YOU GET USE TO IT BUT I DO NOT THINK I COULD 😂
@Theresa, they'd have to pick my terrified body off the floor. For reals. I've worked with hospice for several years in my younger days, and in my mid 40s, at the hospital, and although I've been beside several who have passed away, if any of them were to move after, I would faint, in all honesty. Lol ❤ maybe because I listen to Lighthouse so much, I've become jumpy lol lol 😆 have a blessed and wonderful week , weekend,& life ❤💖🌹
Love his voice. Soothing. And he does different voices for the characters. I have tried to listen to people tell stories before and lost interest quickly. I could listen to him all day. 👍🏼😎
im more terrified of how much i relate to this guy's intro of himself because, other than having absent or dead parents, his social life feels a little too familiar 💀
Fantastic tale! As a nurse it horrified me just a little bit. Having had patients waning between life and death I'm always mindful of what they are able to know about what is going on around them, even when they are completely unresponsive. So, I always try to speak to them anyway. Usually something cheerful or a comment about the weather. After listening to this story, I shudder at the prospect of it being possible, but still knowing that it's not. Of course, I would never let it stop me from having my one sided conversations with those types of patients, but this story will forever pop into my head when I do.
They say that we never know what or how much they hear even if unresponsive and we think they do not know. It is best to allow them to feel they are still in this world and we are communicating to them, they are not alone , they will feel anyway. When my dad passed, the nurse in rom said ": Can you see his spirit leaving him.? I did not nor my husband or mom. But went closer but do know one thing he looked 20 yrs younger! G His face looked like all responsiblities wer lifted and he certainly looked so much younger. Felt he made his peace with the Lord and he was on his way. Hi mom died when he was young nad on the couch on mothers Day and he never got over it and wold mention it once on that day, as he found her on the couch . Maybe he was ther to meet him? We will not know at least now. I hae seen many die and msot are fine with what I see, But one person troubled me as she heard chins coming twoard her and saw some beigns coming and she thought I could see them too. She acted liek she knew what she was saying, but i did not know. I was giving her meds mad just was thining of getting out as the room was spooking me. I tried to calm her down some as she was not hysterical but talking in a delusional manner. I checked on her often and this was an evening shift and did document , of course. But in the night on the night shift aftr I ledf I found the next day, she had passed! No one would have known as she was not runing temp or high or low B/P and not anythign oen would place a finger on a being emergency or needing to go to hospital, She did go to sleep and seemed alright when I left, and was alive then, That was only time I found it upsetting, "Energy never dies; it just changes form"
A lot of them can hear. I worked in a hospital too. A man I kept talking to and told to wake up did wake up. He was in a coma. I told his nurse that he was waking up and she got a doctor as he was waking.
this story is truly scary. I'm a lifelong fan of horror films/stories, but almost never get truly scared by them. This one almost ranks up with the Exorcist in being able to produce that uneasy fearful feeling of a situation that is unimaginably terrifying. The protagonist seems to have no hope of surviving this. No earthly antidote he can use. No one to call to help save him. That's what true horror is all about.

Wonderful narration expressing the confusion and eventual terrifying realization. Very well done! Thank you and the author very much!!

I've seen you in every video, bro, always with the same comment. It never gets old, and honestly, I scower the comments looking for your name to the "I love me some Lighthwhse" comment, it's great!
@@bloodybriars18 be honest..when I first started listening...I didn't like his style. After a few videos it grew on me and he got a lot better. He always has different stories as a lot of the others are good, but it's the same stories they tell.
I have ADHD and it seems to be getting worse with age. These videos help me relax and just focus while I listen. My overactive imagination pieces the stories better than any movie could ever. It helps me get through my workouts at the gym too. I love this channel so much.
Always feel better when I see a new Lighthouse horror upload. Good story, great Narration. The idea of locked in syndrome is terrifying,just imagining still knowing who you are but unable to move any part of your body is horrifying.
Some recover from it. It's often an after effect of coma. The problem is if people recognize u have it or not and what they do to u... a lot of patients are mistreated abused etc. The MC was an ahole to his patient. Blabbering on instead if trying to communicate. U can use eye movements to communicate with patients who have control over that. Not saying he deserved it but what a crappy nurse!
Don't waste another second!! Let your imagination give you life! There is an audience craving what you have to offer! Use your gift! If you get stuck, just let your pen dance on a blank sheet of paper with no lines. After a few moments, take a look at what randomly comes out. Then as the ideas flow in, just write, don't think. The Story is already in you! When your masterpiece is complete... WE WIL BE READY!
Was waiting for a “post” at the end with “Thomas” talking about how he was gonna delete what he’d written, due to finally deciding to “turn his life around” and a full-circle kinda bad ending. But honestly the open-ended story is just as awesome. Keep it up!
Awesome story. Actually really creepy because it could happen. Maybe that's why some people screw up constantly then one day they all of a sudden change and do something amazing !!! Maybe it's not THEM anymore lol
Btw people with Locked- in - Syndrome CAN communicate. One blink for yes, none for no . One even wrote a book with someone having a paper with the alphabet, one moving the Finger along it and him blinking at every letter he wanted to voice. It's called "butterfly and diving bell" by Jeaun Dominique Bauby. There was even a film made , but the book is better - as usual. So to all nurses : whenever a patient comes in in a supposed "coma" - try to ask yes or no questions and ask them to blink! Too many have been written of as a vegetative state , being unable to take in their surroundings - while hearing and understanding everything!
This reminds me of a Breaking Bad character and scene. The old man in the wheelchair answers yes and no questions by moving his finger attached to a little hotel desk bell. But he still just wants to die because he has no family left over after the cartels and his old meth competition kill them. They strap a bomb under his wheelchair and rig it with a string to blow once he rings his bell when his mortal enemy arrives to his nursing home to torture him. He is in a nursing home and the enemy has recently murdered his twin nephews or twin sons and the man is the reason for the deaths and why he's in the nursing home. That scene was epic. You just had to love the look on the old man's face right before he blows them both to kingdom come. The cartel guy is so shocked because he is always very careful. He even had his idiot bodyguard look at the wheelchair for any devices like microphones or especially bombs. He didn't look well enough. The explosion doesn't immediately kill the cartel guy and he walks to the doorway to exit and he looks untouched minus his busted glasses. He straightens them, his tie, collar, and suit then we see the other side of him and the right side of his face falls off, like melts off. I've never seen anything like that on TV, the melted half face sliding down. Ewwww!
Well this author was also wrong when in the story it said there was nothing to steal at a Hospice, no drugs, etc. The fact is there will be more narcotics at higher doses at a Hospice than anywhere else in nursing care!
@@PrimateProductions Yes, nearly every female on my Freeman-side (Paternal/Maiden Name) has worked as Hospice Nurses since far before I can remember. Those nurses have to work their booties off every single day they're scheduled. Not only are they consisten losing older patients they get to know well, along with suffering families, they are always quickly reassigned a new patient in place of someone who they just lost. They all attend so many funerals. In my hometown, everyone knows everyone else and has since their earliest memories. So, they are always taking care of close friends of the family and seeing the family members, whom they usually know very well, suffering through long illnesses where they have no option but to watch their loved ones wither away at home because all medical treatments have been exhausted. To keep the patients comfortable, Hospice administers MORPHINE via IV to curb mental and physical suffering. It's always been common practice for the families to say their goodbyes upon the symptoms of the patient getting really bad or right before they do. Then someone administers an overdose of the morphine usually kept near the bedside of the patient. Most states don't allow assisted suicide, but everyone agrees to keep this quiet and the identity of the person that shows the patient mercy is kept hidden to protect everyone. I grew up and my family is in Kentucky. Assisted suicide isn't legal there, but this form is the most common way elderlies patients die after suffering front a long illness. Here in Oregon, Assisted Suicide is legal. I think you can choose to die at a young age from Major Depression. Don't quote me on that, I may be confused by that one, but I'll look it up soon. There's a documentary called, "How to Die in Oregon" in which I recommend to everyone, whether you are for or against it. This state has gorgeous retreats that pamper the ones to die and they go all out the last few weeks of their lives in letting them live their dreams, sending them on lavish vacations, and even working on healings with them and their families before they even die That said, they must go through much counseling and see doctors in order to make sure they are sound of mind and they have a condition in which has no cure and little treatment plans that don't do much of anything. Just thought-comforming I would talk about this... Goodnight and have a lovely weekend! Love to you all! ❤️❤️❤️
@@luke4773 Yes, I have worked as a Hospice and psych nurse for 25 years. Just wanted to point out that Hospice nurses do administer morphine as you mentioned as well as many, many other types of pain relief since the sole purpose of Hospice is palliative care however they do not usually ever administer it through an IV unless there are some very, very unusual, one of a kind circumstances. Since their focus is comfort and pain relief Hospice does not utilize such invasive techniques as an IV. Also, though yes, occasionally a patient is given increasing doses of morphine which slows one's respiration which can facilitate their passing nurses very rarely intentionally give a fatal dose of morphine with the intention of killing their Hospice patient. Even with Hospice very strict records are kept of the morphine along with when it was given, exactly how much was given, how it was given and most importantly in this discussion, who administered it. There is absolutely no way around this. The nurse who gives the medication has to sign their name as proof. When the next nurse comes on or when the patient dies, two nurses must count the amount of narcotic meds that are remaining and both sign off on it as being correct. Obviously whoever the last nurse who worked before a patient dies would be the one who gave a fatal dose in the situation you are talking about. If for some reason another nurse came in and secretly gave a dose they would have to sign off on it or the count will be wrong when they count the meds. The nurse that is supposed to be giving meds at that time is not going to take the blame for the missing dose. The same goes for if someone gives more than they are supposed to...it is going to be obvious in the count sheet. Those records are audited on a regular basis not only by Hospice but also the state and Medicare/Medicaid and possibly other health insurance companies.
I don't care if it's 9:09 AM, I'm not eriting to watch this any more. I'm watching it now. Thank you Lighthouse, you're epic man! Keep up the great work!
Wowsers. Awesome job LH. I didnt know who to feel more connected to, and that was weird enough but the edge of the seat battle with sleep, that was all you good sir. Awesome job by both writer and narrator . Great job guys.
Adore this story adore your narrations.Very talented and so considerate of us, working to keep us entertained continuously.Thankyou for your contributions to our mental health.💜🐾
@@Anita-k yea, & the there are some that have high ratings but the reality is overall they only care about 💰💵. The care is really not there. But, we can keep at it! Reality is more horrifying than fiction, sometimes!
Ohhhhh. That was good. That monster, yeah, that's nightmare fuel. Though from the monster's POV it would be a straight up dream, I suppose. Absolutely loved this. I know I've been truly creeped out when I decide to just turn the TV all the way down but leave it on for some light. Bravo.
I had a transitory locked in. TERRIFYING!!! I was shocked at least a half hour or more. Could only move my eyes. No one noticed, I never did go to a doctor. I SHOULD HAVE!!! I can’t believe I came out of it, fell straight to sleep. I then lost my ability to read, and several other things. Stroke symptoms still. I’ll never forget how when I started to call out it was like half my face melted as it slurred out to nothing.
3:49. I can relate. I was a CNA fresh out of high school and I worked night shift. I’ve seen a lot of things that when you describe it, sound horrifying, but when I was there, it wasn’t. Only one true creepy thing happened to me at that care home and I worked there for over a year. But, I quit after only three months of the night shift.
"I wish I'd written that novel. Heck, it might've even been pretty good." I absolutely love that line. A story not only scary because of a monster but ALSO the very real fear of putting off the things you want to do and some day having to look back and think, "maybe I could've been good at this had I just done it."
Yessss ! I often wake up between 2 and 4 am and can't fall back asleep usually - so I end up tired and falling asleep at 14 pm and miss a lot of the day... Luckily 3 am just so happens to be the exact time you post your stories in my country ! Just another piece adding to the greatness of LHH ! 🙂 Thank you for your tireless work, but I'm starting to think you are an alien yourself that doesn't sleep at all...🤔 And as a former nurse , I totally feel the protagonist about the nightshifts... (during the 3 minutes ) that's how far I'm in - so I don't know where this is going. Edit: typo
This describes perfectly what happens to someone with ALS. My dad died on his bed, all he could move was his right hand index finger. He could dictate into a recorder for his work at the end a whispery voice. He never wanted to be intubated so when the muscles of his chest stoped working he stoped breathing. Fortunately he did not struggle for his next breath and passed peacefully. ALS is a very cruel disease.
Another great narration Lighthouse. Somebody actually mentioned this to me earlier today, but have you ever thought about doing a YT live stream? All right if it’s not really your thing, but I think it could be a pretty fun way for you and us fans to interact with one another, just chatting a little and having a good time. I know you must have maybe a little busy of a schedule putting up videos for us every day, but just something to think about
Very surreal listening to this story. My boyfriend of close to 10 years passed away in March of 2020 due to a massive stroke leaving him with “locked in Syndrome “. He hadn’t felt well at work that particular morning and his boss called an ambulance. He was a heart patient at the time having had an untold number of heart attacks over past years. He wasn’t very good on taking proper care of himself and had been told at one point a few years before when he actually had gone to the Er with chest pain, that he had previously had heart attacks just from their view of the condition of his heart and he went on to have a few more, most untreated, before he ended up having a triple bypass in August of 2019 so his bp was sky high upon being examined by the emts. And of course his stubborn self refused transport to the hospital so he ended up against his boss’s feelings, driving himself almost 30 miles home. After about two hours of feeling horrible with a headache and nausea, he scooted to the edge of his chair and started projectile vomiting and fell into a seizure on the floor. Of course I immediately called 911 and he was then taken to the hospital. Mind you I had continually asked him if he wanted me to call 911 and he said he’d be fine. Once he got to the hospital and I was sitting in the room with him I literally saw him have the stroke. He was then transported to Emory University which is here in Georgia. They wanted to life flight him but couldn’t get clearance due to weather. I heard the Dr tell the emts to turn on the lights and sirens and get him there “Jetson’s style”. He went immediately into surgery upon arrival and they found he had a blood clot in the artery going to the lower part of his brain and by the time he FINALLY got treatment a portion of his brain had been without oxygen for between 9 and 11 hrs causing the “locked in Syndrome “. He was on life support for 5 days and though he’s never agree to put it in writing he wanted to be DNR so after speaking with his father, sister and I and also teaching him to communicate through eye movement he communicated after being asked 4 x that he didn’t want to live on life support so his life support was removed. It still hurts my heart to remember and I miss him so He had just turned 50 that past December 💔
I bet you do miss him and this is very sad. But you had him all those years he gave to u, you'll see him again I believe love does last forever as does Jesus Christ's love he has for us. Just remember the good times an hell always be with u. Tx
MANY PEOPLE confuse hospice and hospice services with nursing homes… Hospice is where a person PLANS to go when their death is near. It can also be where a Mother and or a Father decides to take their infant or child when they are nearing death. It is a whole process where the wishes of what the patient wants to happen at certain points before and during their death, is understood and carried out. Many people choose to die at home with their families and the Hospice organization they chose will be there carrying out their wishes for a peaceful death while at home. People really need to know and understand the differences! 💜
Locked in syndrome is probably the fate I fear worst in life. To imagine some paranormal thing trying to pull a switch like this had me on the edge of my seat. Terrifying!
Oh this one was really good is it wrong but I kinda liked the monster in this one kudos to the writer really enjoyed the plot and thanks Lighthouse for the narration
I'm here early for once... Special! I can't wait to hear how good the story is. Have a great weekend Lighthouse and everyone here! Love 💗 you guys... And gals! 🥰🥰🥰🎈🎈🎈
... at least he’s a nice guy?? it was almost funny hearing this guy being horrified to hear he was doing good things. this concept is frightening, though. the man trapped inside of himself had no control over his body, and with the narrator being used as a vessel, he also has no control over himself (though he is unconscious during these periods). it kind of has a lesson of doing more with your life, because some people can’t do what you have the power to do... or it’s just a spooky story about a man living through other people because he has superpowers and is some kind of entity. for some reason this feels like a modern version of a classic short story to me.
I worked in a nursing home years ago and heard of this happening.A fears later a friend of mine was in a coma ,the Drs told us to talk to hrrband make tapes talking to her and her favorite music.When she did come out of it 4eeeks later she remembered all of us talking to her and music playing in the distance
Brand new follower! So glad this popped up in my feed. Can't wait to see what the rest of your page holds!! Also, I think I might need a pillow made out of your voice, please.
Another one bites the dust! Man i can only imagine how this security guard mus b feeling....he had convos w/Thomas as in confidant, not thinking this would happen to um, of course! But poor thang mus have felt betrayed, since the one person he talked to (no talking back) must have sent him spinning in chaos! Unbelievable but super interesting! More, more, more....
I usually close at the gas station I work at. I prefer keeping the speaker thing off while I listen to music at least until a customer comes to the window. One woman one night seemed like she could kill someone while with a man. The man got the gas while she went towards the store. Annoyingly the speaker doesn’t work well and the area is practically a retirement community so you get a lot of customers saying they can’t hear you, even when there’s not a loud truck on sounding like a semi-truck or someone blaring music.
I've worked hospice before and seen some beautiful things. I woman who said it was time to go see her husband. She had dementia. She put on her best outfit and jewelry. Went outside and sat in the sun. Tilted her face up smiled and said heaven is so warm and passed with a smile on her face. More beauty then darkness.

That is the most evil thing I have ever seen lol
@@falconsystem3254 LOL
@@bloodybriars18 be honest..when I first started listening...I didn't like his style. After a few videos it grew on me and he got a lot better. He always has different stories as a lot of the others are good, but it's the same stories they tell.
I have ADHD and it seems to be getting worse with age. These videos help me relax and just focus while I listen. My overactive imagination pieces the stories better than any movie could ever. It helps me get through my workouts at the gym too. I love this channel so much.
SAME! I love this channel with my life
Same. Talking on the phone also helps but this is soo much easier. I do laundry and the dishes without even thinking about it
Same! This channel is one of my brain’s chew toys to get it to settle down and focus.
Adhd is trauma related. Have u heard of breath work? U can heal your physical body with it!!
Only 116k subs? I’ve been listening to audio books since cassette tapes were a thing and this guy is so pro. Should be a million subs atleast.
Nothing better than a good lighthouse horror story on your way home at night
I hope I go this way ... I have heart failure I'm 37 but I want to grow old n live to say honey I'm coming to you my love 💓
I don't know why but I was like.." Just give in,dude! Let that thing in and you'll live a far more better life than you are yourself right now."
Good for this dude for fighting. Like, it might not be exciting but it was his dang life!
well put!
Literally my worst nightmare. Great Narration.
Always feel better when I see a new Lighthouse horror upload.
Good story, great Narration.
The idea of locked in syndrome is terrifying,just imagining still knowing who you are but unable to move any part of your body is horrifying.
Some recover from it. It's often an after effect of coma. The problem is if people recognize u have it or not and what they do to u... a lot of patients are mistreated abused etc.
The MC was an ahole to his patient. Blabbering on instead if trying to communicate. U can use eye movements to communicate with patients who have control over that.
Not saying he deserved it but what a crappy nurse!
As an aspiring writer, I have never felt so motivated to write before.
The disturbing thing is, I kinda live the same life as the guy.
Write something today!!
Ive been living like this since covid. Luckily i have a partner and im not depressed. Just stuck.
Don't waste another second!! Let your imagination give you life! There is an audience craving what you have to offer! Use your gift! If you get stuck, just let your pen dance on a blank sheet of paper with no lines. After a few moments, take a look at what randomly comes out. Then as the ideas flow in, just write, don't think. The Story is already in you! When your masterpiece is complete... WE WIL BE READY!
As a former aspiring writer now a working writer, START WRITING! Don't put it off. "Someday" is here. Go for it.
Funny...me too
Was waiting for a “post” at the end with “Thomas” talking about how he was gonna delete what he’d written, due to finally deciding to “turn his life around” and a full-circle kinda bad ending.
But honestly the open-ended story is just as awesome. Keep it up!
Awesome story. Actually really creepy because it could happen. Maybe that's why some people screw up constantly then one day they all of a sudden change and do something amazing !!! Maybe it's not THEM anymore lol
Btw people with Locked- in - Syndrome CAN communicate. One blink for yes, none for no .
One even wrote a book with someone having a paper with the alphabet, one moving the Finger along it and him blinking at every letter he wanted to voice. It's called "butterfly and diving bell"
by Jeaun Dominique Bauby. There was even a film made , but the book is better - as usual.
So to all nurses : whenever a patient comes in in a supposed "coma" - try to ask yes or no questions and ask them to blink! Too many have been written of as a vegetative state , being unable to take in their surroundings - while hearing and understanding everything!
This reminds me of a Breaking Bad character and scene. The old man in the wheelchair answers yes and no questions by moving his finger attached to a little hotel desk bell. But he still just wants to die because he has no family left over after the cartels and his old meth competition kill them.
They strap a bomb under his wheelchair and rig it with a string to blow once he rings his bell when his mortal enemy arrives to his nursing home to torture him. He is in a nursing home and the enemy has recently murdered his twin nephews or twin sons and the man is the reason for the deaths and why he's in the nursing home.
That scene was epic. You just had to love the look on the old man's face right before he blows them both to kingdom come.
The cartel guy is so shocked because he is always very careful. He even had his idiot bodyguard look at the wheelchair for any devices like microphones or especially bombs. He didn't look well enough.
The explosion doesn't immediately kill the cartel guy and he walks to the doorway to exit and he looks untouched minus his busted glasses. He straightens them, his tie, collar, and suit then we see the other side of him and the right side of his face falls off, like melts off. I've never seen anything like that on TV, the melted half face sliding down. Ewwww!
Well this author was also wrong when in the story it said there was nothing to steal at a Hospice, no drugs, etc.
The fact is there will be more narcotics at higher doses at a Hospice than anywhere else in nursing care!
@@PrimateProductions Yes, nearly every female on my Freeman-side (Paternal/Maiden Name) has worked as Hospice Nurses since far before I can remember.
Those nurses have to work their booties off every single day they're scheduled. Not only are they consisten losing older patients they get to know well, along with suffering families, they are always quickly reassigned a new patient in place of someone who they just lost. They all attend so many funerals.
In my hometown, everyone knows everyone else and has since their earliest memories. So, they are always taking care of close friends of the family and seeing the family members, whom they usually know very well, suffering through long illnesses where they have no option but to watch their loved ones wither away at home because all medical treatments have been exhausted.
To keep the patients comfortable, Hospice administers MORPHINE via IV to curb mental and physical suffering. It's always been common practice for the families to say their goodbyes upon the symptoms of the patient getting really bad or right before they do. Then someone administers an overdose of the morphine usually kept near the bedside of the patient. Most states don't allow assisted suicide, but everyone agrees to keep this quiet and the identity of the person that shows the patient mercy is kept hidden to protect everyone.
I grew up and my family is in Kentucky. Assisted suicide isn't legal there, but this form is the most common way elderlies patients die after suffering front a long illness.
Here in Oregon, Assisted Suicide is legal. I think you can choose to die at a young age from Major Depression. Don't quote me on that, I may be confused by that one, but I'll look it up soon.
There's a documentary called, "How to Die in Oregon" in which I recommend to everyone, whether you are for or against it. This state has gorgeous retreats that pamper the ones to die and they go all out the last few weeks of their lives in letting them live their dreams, sending them on lavish vacations, and even working on healings with them and their families before they even die
That said, they must go through much counseling and see doctors in order to make sure they are sound of mind and they have a condition in which has no cure and little treatment plans that don't do much of anything.
Just thought-comforming I would talk about this...
Goodnight and have a lovely weekend! Love to you all! ❤️❤️❤️
@@luke4773 Yes, I have worked as a Hospice and psych nurse for 25 years.
Just wanted to point out that Hospice nurses do administer morphine as you mentioned as well as many, many other types of pain relief since the sole purpose of Hospice is palliative care however they do not usually ever administer it through an IV unless there are some very, very unusual, one of a kind circumstances. Since their focus is comfort and pain relief Hospice does not utilize such invasive techniques as an IV.
Also, though yes, occasionally a patient is given increasing doses of morphine which slows one's respiration which can facilitate their passing nurses very rarely intentionally give a fatal dose of morphine with the intention of killing their Hospice patient. Even with Hospice very strict records are kept of the morphine along with when it was given, exactly how much was given, how it was given and most importantly in this discussion, who administered it. There is absolutely no way around this. The nurse who gives the medication has to sign their name as proof. When the next nurse comes on or when the patient dies, two nurses must count the amount of narcotic meds that are remaining and both sign off on it as being correct. Obviously whoever the last nurse who worked before a patient dies would be the one who gave a fatal dose in the situation you are talking about. If for some reason another nurse came in and secretly gave a dose they would have to sign off on it or the count will be wrong when they count the meds. The nurse that is supposed to be giving meds at that time is not going to take the blame for the missing dose. The same goes for if someone gives more than they are supposed to...it is going to be obvious in the count sheet.
Those records are audited on a regular basis not only by Hospice but also the state and Medicare/Medicaid and possibly other health insurance companies.
@@PrimateProductions Right? 'No drugs' in hospice care, that's hilarious.
This was very well done. The writing, the acting both top notch. Thanks for sharing your talents.
This is my favorite channel. Period.
But I laughed out loud when you said hospice doesn't have drugs. Hospice basically IS DRUGS.
Lol! yeah just wrote a comment about that - hospice is morphine city.
I just found LH, awesome content.
I don't care if it's 9:09 AM, I'm not eriting to watch this any more. I'm watching it now. Thank you Lighthouse, you're epic man! Keep up the great work!
Wowsers. Awesome job LH. I didnt know who to feel more connected to, and that was weird enough but the edge of the seat battle with sleep, that was all you good sir. Awesome job by both writer and narrator . Great job guys.
Thanks Lee!
Adore this story adore your narrations.Very talented and so considerate of us, working to keep us entertained continuously.Thankyou for your contributions to our mental health.💜🐾
Hospice give me mixed feelings & now I can add even more. Horror, terror, creepy.
Thanks Stephen! 😁😉
You said it man!😯
Have a good weekend Tenzen💛
@@nancyM1313 😁😉 I hope you have a wonderful weekend 2!
@@TENZEN._. 😃❣
Seriously...
They don't even have drugs like e.g. morphine there for the poor old dying patients?^^
That's not what I'd call a "death in dignity"!
@@Anita-k yea, & the there are some that have high ratings but the reality is overall they only care about 💰💵. The care is really not there. But, we can keep at it! Reality is more horrifying than fiction, sometimes!
This was excellent. I curled up with my coffee after working a 12 hour night shift with hospice patients and thoroughly enjoyed this
Ohhhhh. That was good.
That monster, yeah, that's nightmare fuel. Though from the monster's POV it would be a straight up dream, I suppose.
Absolutely loved this. I know I've been truly creeped out when I decide to just turn the TV all the way down but leave it on for some light. Bravo.
I had a transitory locked in. TERRIFYING!!! I was shocked at least a half hour or more. Could only move my eyes. No one noticed, I never did go to a doctor. I SHOULD HAVE!!! I can’t believe I came out of it, fell straight to sleep. I then lost my ability to read, and several other things. Stroke symptoms still. I’ll never forget how when I started to call out it was like half my face melted as it slurred out to nothing.
Oh my God that's terrifying! I'm so glad you're doing better Heather!
3:49. I can relate. I was a CNA fresh out of high school and I worked night shift. I’ve seen a lot of things that when you describe it, sound horrifying, but when I was there, it wasn’t. Only one true creepy thing happened to me at that care home and I worked there for over a year. But, I quit after only three months of the night shift.
I love me some lighthouse horror
Can't get enough.
"I wish I'd written that novel. Heck, it might've even been pretty good." I absolutely love that line. A story not only scary because of a monster but ALSO the very real fear of putting off the things you want to do and some day having to look back and think, "maybe I could've been good at this had I just done it."
something about the idea of something taking over my body and doing whatever it wants with it is so indescribably horrifying to me...
This one feels like a Lovecraft story, really enjoyed it!!!! You played the character perfectly as usual too :]
Yessss !
I often wake up between 2 and 4 am and can't fall back asleep usually - so I end up tired and falling asleep at 14 pm and miss a lot of the day...
Luckily 3 am just so happens to be the exact time you post your stories in my country !
Just another piece adding to the greatness of LHH ! 🙂
Thank you for your tireless work, but I'm starting to think you are an alien yourself that doesn't sleep at all...🤔
And as a former nurse , I totally feel the protagonist about the nightshifts... (during the 3 minutes ) that's how far I'm in - so I don't know where this is going.
Edit: typo
Another great narration Lighthouse 💙. What a terrifying idea presented by the author!!! 😳
This is a very relatable protagonist. I like them a lot.
What kind of sick bastard organized my stuff 😂😂
That went from creepy to depressing.
Did the old man in the hospital bed had any statues of his own? I doubt it
This describes perfectly what happens to someone with ALS. My dad died on his bed, all he could move was his right hand index finger. He could dictate into a recorder for his work at the end a whispery voice. He never wanted to be intubated so when the muscles of his chest stoped working he stoped breathing. Fortunately he did not struggle for his next breath and passed peacefully.
ALS is a very cruel disease.
How very sad. So sorry for your loss.
@@stephaniemccord6100 thank you. It's been 7 years and he is still sorely missed

Great story
@@mydesertrose3362 cheers mate!
What a trip man, this was well written. kudos on the narrating definitely made it more chilling.. first time listener and instant subscriber! \m/
Same here.
This was very badly written. I'm a hospice nurse.
Another great narration Lighthouse. Somebody actually mentioned this to me earlier today, but have you ever thought about doing a YT live stream? All right if it’s not really your thing, but I think it could be a pretty fun way for you and us fans to interact with one another, just chatting a little and having a good time. I know you must have maybe a little busy of a schedule putting up videos for us every day, but just something to think about
I actually wanted to ask him to do that too, it'd be great.
Very surreal listening to this story. My boyfriend of close to 10 years passed away in March of 2020 due to a massive stroke leaving him with “locked in Syndrome “. He hadn’t felt well at work that particular morning and his boss called an ambulance. He was a heart patient at the time having had an untold number of heart attacks over past years. He wasn’t very good on taking proper care of himself and had been told at one point a few years before when he actually had gone to the Er with chest pain, that he had previously had heart attacks just from their view of the condition of his heart and he went on to have a few more, most untreated, before he ended up having a triple bypass in August of 2019 so his bp was sky high upon being examined by the emts. And of course his stubborn self refused transport to the hospital so he ended up against his boss’s feelings, driving himself almost 30 miles home. After about two hours of feeling horrible with a headache and nausea, he scooted to the edge of his chair and started projectile vomiting and fell into a seizure on the floor. Of course I immediately called 911 and he was then taken to the hospital. Mind you I had continually asked him if he wanted me to call 911 and he said he’d be fine. Once he got to the hospital and I was sitting in the room with him I literally saw him have the stroke. He was then transported to Emory University which is here in Georgia. They wanted to life flight him but couldn’t get clearance due to weather. I heard the Dr tell the emts to turn on the lights and sirens and get him there “Jetson’s style”. He went immediately into surgery upon arrival and they found he had a blood clot in the artery going to the lower part of his brain and by the time he FINALLY got treatment a portion of his brain had been without oxygen for between 9 and 11 hrs causing the “locked in Syndrome “. He was on life support for 5 days and though he’s never agree to put it in writing he wanted to be DNR so after speaking with his father, sister and I and also teaching him to communicate through eye movement he communicated after being asked 4 x that he didn’t want to live on life support so his life support was removed. It still hurts my heart to remember and I miss him so He had just turned 50 that past December 💔
I'm so sorry😢
Huge huge hugs to you!
I bet you do miss him and this is very sad. But you had him all those years he gave to u, you'll see him again I believe love does last forever as does Jesus Christ's love he has for us. Just remember the good times an hell always be with u. Tx
Captivating suspense. Told beautifully. Enjoyed listening.
Oh no! It's bedtime for me.🙆♀️
Thanks ❤lighthouse and definitely checking under the bed.
Oh yes!! Right on time again. Finishing up my clients orders. This is a perfect end to a long day!
I'm filling orders listening to this too! Haha. :)
@@erikadorsey1817 lol isn’t it the BEST! Really gets you through it
MANY PEOPLE confuse hospice and hospice services with nursing homes… Hospice is where a person PLANS to go when their death is near. It can also be where a Mother and or a Father decides to take their infant or child when they are nearing death. It is a whole process where the wishes of what the patient wants to happen at certain points before and during their death, is understood and carried out. Many people choose to die at home with their families and the Hospice organization they chose will be there carrying out their wishes for a peaceful death while at home. People really need to know and understand the differences! 💜
Amazing creepy story. I was hanging on every word. Makes you appreciate your life no matter what it is. Live your life to the fullest!👩
Great. Right to the brain and heart.
This is an awesome story!! Very creative. I've never heard anything like this before.
Best story teller I've heard. Clear & direct voice. Good job bro💯👏👏👏
Cold sweats what a amazing story 😲😲😱
Perfect timing! I'm going to have some tea in bed and sketch some spooky characters 😍 then drift off and have some sweet sweet nightmares🖤
Have fun sketching!
Cant wait til bedtime, must watch lighthouse Now !
Part 112 of thanking the lighthouse horror for his constant uploads
Locked in syndrome is probably the fate I fear worst in life. To imagine some paranormal thing trying to pull a switch like this had me on the edge of my seat. Terrifying!
WOW! After 2+ hrs yesterday, he drops another! LEGENDARY!!!
nice to hear another person that loves the night and dark like I do
Loved everything but the end, feels incomplete. Great ideas though and narration was spot on!!
This story put a strange determination in me for some reason. I wanted to yell at the MC for talking like he already lost. Great narration as always!
You and me both! It's kind of the opposite of the last protagonist from The Basement story hah (well, in some ways at least)
@Lighthouse Horror The basement story that was 2 hours, and 34 minutes long?
That one would make a great movie.
THE SCARY PART IS THAT IT’S A TRUE CONDITION THAT PEOPLE CAN SUFFER FROM!
God this has so many great lines in it.
Ooh boy… I’m a mostly bed bound person. The concept of being unable to move yet still think clearly is terrifying!
WOW! Whether of not this is true, it is most definitely a horror story!!!!!!!
My apologies - I understand now
Excellent job!
Oh this one was really good is it wrong but I kinda liked the monster in this one kudos to the writer really enjoyed the plot and thanks Lighthouse for the narration
I'm pretty sure that without the monster, or demon, or whatever...th wouldn't be a creepypast horror story, lol.
Fricken awesome show!!!
Written SO WELL, GREAT NARRATION...
🕊 ❤️ 💡 🙏🏽 To All
I like that when the people start going to him thanking him, you'll realize why he's alone, the changes he could've done.
Awesome going to have a coffee while listening to this excellent story!🙂☕ thanks Stephen!👍
Enjoy that coffee. Should definitely be great while listening.
See you tomorrow, same channel🦇

@@nancyM1313 I will indeed thanks Nancy!😁 i look forward to our next catch up! Till then stay safe hun!😊👍💙
A frighteningly wesome story by the author 👏👏👏👏 sadly the entity was not given a name.
But it seems to be some sort of a doppelganger.
Outstanding narration as usual😱😱😱
I'm here early for once... Special! I can't wait to hear how good the story is. Have a great weekend Lighthouse and everyone here! Love 💗 you guys... And gals! 🥰🥰🥰🎈🎈🎈
Thanks man, have a great weekend too! P.S. I'm always last when I watch Lighthouse Horror.
Wow.. What a story.. Loved it!
Great story! Makes you wonder that's for sure.....i know from personal experience that things are RARELY what they seem.
When he said '"fixing to" my southern heart leapt❤😂
... at least he’s a nice guy?? it was almost funny hearing this guy being horrified to hear he was doing good things. this concept is frightening, though. the man trapped inside of himself had no control over his body, and with the narrator being used as a vessel, he also has no control over himself (though he is unconscious during these periods). it kind of has a lesson of doing more with your life, because some people can’t do what you have the power to do... or it’s just a spooky story about a man living through other people because he has superpowers and is some kind of entity. for some reason this feels like a modern version of a classic short story to me.
Captivating as always
Yes! Spooky👀 story. Thanks 🥰 Lighthouse Horror 💙😱👻
Hanging on every word!!! A-ma-zing!! You continue to out do yourself! 🥇🏆!!!
I worked in a nursing home years ago and heard of this happening.A fears later a friend of mine was in a coma ,the Drs told us to talk to hrrband make tapes talking to her and her favorite music.When she did come out of it 4eeeks later she remembered all of us talking to her and music playing in the distance
Im early sounds like this is going to be good. Thanks for another story
This man never rests and we who love to listen are SO SPOILED!
I hope UA-cam is paying you proper and not skimming off of your just desserts!
Now I have a new motivation to finish my novel before I freakin' die
Brand new follower! So glad this popped up in my feed. Can't wait to see what the rest of your page holds!! Also, I think I might need a pillow made out of your voice, please.

Creeps me out ! Voice is perfect to scare you !
Another one bites the dust! Man i can only imagine how this security guard mus b feeling....he had convos w/Thomas as in confidant, not thinking this would happen to um, of course! But poor thang mus have felt betrayed, since the one person he talked to (no talking back) must have sent him spinning in chaos! Unbelievable but super interesting! More, more, more....
Fantastic as usual
Well! I think I will be rooting for the demon! Nice one.
That was an amazing story and told very well! I got sucked into it immediately!
Started getting home from work pretty late, appreciating the nightly lighthouse horror before sleep ritual so much more right now 💕
I usually close at the gas station I work at. I prefer keeping the speaker thing off while I listen to music at least until a customer comes to the window. One woman one night seemed like she could kill someone while with a man. The man got the gas while she went towards the store. Annoyingly the speaker doesn’t work well and the area is practically a retirement community so you get a lot of customers saying they can’t hear you, even when there’s not a loud truck on sounding like a semi-truck or someone blaring music.
I wanted more! This would make a great novel.
Thank you for doing these narrations. It's a great way to unwind after a rough day!
Lived his life , better than him?
