Joke or paranormal phenomenon? The viral video of an employee of the Finochietto Sanatorium “talking to a ghost”

Since the early hours of Saturday, that uneasiness has reigned in the Finochietto sanatorium in Buenos Aires. How come? because in the last hours A video showing a hospital employee interacting with a presumed dead patient has gone viral.

This Argentinian viral story appears to be a spin off from The Sixth Sense. What would have happened is as inexplicable as it is mysterious, adjectives that, in this particular case, give rise to all kinds of doubts: Paranormal phenomenon? joke between colleagues? A psychologically compromised security guard?

The video was recorded at dawn on Saturday, around three in the morning. In it, which is nothing more than an excerpt of what was recorded by the sanatorium’s security cameras, you can see how an employee takes data from a person who is never seen and, moreover, offers him a wheelchair.

The version of the guard

The most sensational explanation of what would have happened in the sanatorium is that of the employee.

The man would have assured that he had seen a very corpulent lady enter, that the woman would then have asked him to go to room 915 (on the ninth floor) to look for something he had forgotten when he was hospitalized there and that, before letting her go, he offered her a wheelchair and took the data.

When a lot of time passed and he realized that the old woman had not returned, the guard allegedly called other clinic employees to check that everything was fine. The information they gave him astounded him..

The woman had never reached the ninth floor and the information she had given him coincided with that of a lady who had died in that room, room 915, three hours earlier..

Apparently, the man and his companions verified by watching the videos that the guard was talking to him, in practice, Nothing.

Nothing excluded

According to journalist Mauro Szeta, the Finochietto authorities do not reject any hypothesis, since it is not known who recorded the images and they are aware that the door in question is wrong. They would be investigating if it was a joke between colleagues.

Guglielmo CapuiaAccording to Szeta, the doctor in charge of the institutional public relations area of ​​the sanatorium points out that “in the video it can be seen that the door has been opened several times before and the employee has not taken any action.”

In addition, it indicates that no certified hospitalization of patients has been registered either by Avenida Córdoba or by the institution’s guard.

The bizarre and confusing story went viral on social networks and was replicated by various local media outlets. The riddle is installed, and so far no solution.

The unanswered questions posed by this phenomenon are the same as in the beginning: paranormal phenomenon? joke between colleagues? A psychologically compromised security guard?

The reactions

On Twitter there was a party of comments on “The ghost of Finochietto”. Many skeptics appeared, but also many others who supported the idea that it was a ghostly apparition.

“I’d like to believe Finochietto’s ghost, but it makes me more of a security joke sick of the door opening by itself,” one person said.

Another, less skeptical, argues: “The video of Finochietto’s security guard who starts chatting with a ghost and then discovers when he sees the videos that it was a ghost is the real BELIEVE OR BURST”.

«The ghost of Finochietto could have been a joke by the guards but the sliding door opened by itself», said a third, further establishing the doubt.
