Abandoned ward at Northampton General
A few years ago, I worked at Northampton General Hospital, as an IT Trainer. Some of our equipment was stored in a disused ward in an older part of the hospital, away from the main building. We'd quite often be in there, taking things there to store or collecting stuff we needed.

One day I went up there with one of my colleagues, Jo. We took a couple of boxes of bits and pieces up there, stored it all safely away, then Jo suggested we had a look round the rest of the ward, since we only ever saw the main area where the stuff was all stored.

The first door we went through led to a toilet area. There were 2 cubicles, side by side. Both had the doors open, and were filthy. Eerily silent (it seemed at the time) and about an inch thick in dust, it looked as if we were the first people to see this room for hundreds of years. Each cubicle had a little window with a curtain at it, and the curtain on the left had fallen down on one side. I don't know what it was but it was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. Jo & I stood looking wordlessly for a good few seconds, then without even realising, we were holding hands. Sorry to disappoint anyone, but there was no sexy-tiem, it was the most innocent and childlike hand-holding you could imagine.

"Shall we go now?" said Jo, to which I replied very much in the affirmative. We didn't bother exploring the rest of the ward...
