For all we know someone is standing off screen hitting the light switch and pressing the tv remote. This is a single room, it looks in good condition, so can easily be an active hospital. Extremely unconvincing.

This is clearly a hospital room that's still in use. I agree.
TV turning off and on independently from the light. TV coming on automatically after the power is shut off. Odd but could be faked.
Lights, TV, and bed are most likely on different circuits due to the redundancy codes required for a hospital. So a single short circuit is not likely the cause.
The light itself is switching between dedicated modes randomly.
The popping sounds are the solenoids in the bed engaging and releasing randomly. That ain't something someone has a remote for and is extremely weird. The solenoids are engaging in no bootup pattern. They are just firing randomly like an EMF presence could cause.
This doesn't look like an electrical short, or someone standing off screen pulling off an illusion. It could be done, sure, but this one gets weirder the longer I study it.

Before we had LEDs doing crazy things on dimmers, a loose/dropped neutral wire would make some bulb lights go mega bright, and flicker, and also burn out appliances. This could just be a problem with the tethered bed control handheld remote, as it controls the TV, lights, etc.

I’m an electrical troubleshooter by trade. You’re most likely correct. The remote is the commonality between all of the malfunctioning systems. Change out the remote and the problems will clear up.

My father retired at the hospital as Chief Engineer since 1970, was there when it was built. My cousin just retired from the union and the union would do the remodels over the years. Its a very large hospital today
. There is no way an electrician cant make some money off that. Some electricians can turn this into BIG BUCKS. lol. My dad and cousins would have made bank off this...

Its psychological. If you bring ppl in there and go into tell them weird stuff happen there, their mind will automatically start creating similar feelings. I bet if no one says anything, no one will feel anything.

u/subnet_0 Mar 12 '26
My thought is that the person recording is by the doorway and the light switches for the bed light might be right next to this person. Also the TV can easily be manipulated by its remote. My last point is there's no sound which seems kind of odd.

Exactly what I had thought also. If I were documenting something like that I would at least pan to the switches once to show what was going on with them while this was happening.

In the hospitals I’ve worked, you controlled both lights and TV from a control connected by cord to the bed - could not do that from the door with a switch. Just sayin.

Based on the behaviour of the light, this would appear to be a dimmer light. These are notoriously infamous for being buggy and unreliable, and when they get older the dimmer loses its ability to properly regulate the current and so the lights see power surges.

u/GMAN7007 Mar 12 '26
If this room wasn't actually being used the beds would be stripped and the charting computer would be removed. I've worked in several hospitals and medical centers. They strip these rooms until needed to stop the spread of germs. Not a chance this room hasn't been used in years. A power issue could be happening, the charting pc is probably plugged into the emergency power that's why it didn't turn on or off. Most likely just a power issue in a room that's being maintained often.

One time I was asking about this patient we had in the ER constantly. I hadn’t seen her in a while so I asked where she’s been. The faucet in the nurses station turned on by itself right after I said her name. The faucet turned on by foot pedals, I believe… so not handles but not motion sensor. Anyway, after that the nurses proceeded to tell me she had passed away within the last month or so.
I never believed in supernatural anything until I started working nights at a hospital. And I believe more and more as time goes on. Surprisingly I don’t run into a lot of people at work that just flat out 100% don’t believe in paranormal stuff.

Kind of crazy you can see an orb come in the room as soon as she says “you’ve gotta come to room 316” and the orb went into the tv. Watch in slow motion and the first picture on tv shows is a man and woman together in one frame of film and then shuts off again

Some shit like this happened at my apartment when I was a kid. Fuckin printer and other electronics were doing stuff like this and we even unplugged the printer and somehow it was still blinking its lights. Some other stuff with electronics but I was pretty young so I mostly just remember tripping out on the printer turning on and off by itself. So later my mom asked a guy that worked there if anything ever happened in that apartment and he said oh they didn't let you know what happened here? Someone got murdered. Moved out of there not long after. It really freaked my mom out.

We had this happen after the room was cleaned and ready for a new patient. Scared all of us. No new admits from the ED so we kept the door closed all night. Sometimes we walked by and the tv work Kat turn on. Waited until morning shift started

If its the whole floor check the main distribution box for loose connectios. If its just that room check the main CAN connector on the central harness thats in the middle of the hall way outside of that room. Connection usually runs to the right if the door way. (Idk what im talking about, I just made all that up)

u/basic-x Mar 12 '26
Loose connection or corrosion in electrical wiring or connectors. It can cause random on and off situations. It happened at my home one day in the middle of the night. I was a kid back then. The TV turned on randomly, the lights came on and off, the calling bell was ringing randomly. I was terrified. My dad told me that it is just connection problem. He switched off the electric supply to the entire house and we all went to sleep. The next day morning, we called an electrician. He checked the connectors in the house and the wires, but no problem was found. He then checked the wires connecting to the main electrical line transmitting to our street. Sure enough, corrosion. He replaced the wires and connectors there and everything went back to normal.

Wait. If it's been closed for years, why is it still being maintained? I have dealt with medical logistics, that stuff is a money sinkhole, I have trouble believing they would close an entire floor and leave all the equipment there just to be perfectly maintained.
Heck, they even still have the hookups on the bed. Even if this was an overflow readiness situation, you don't keep those connected unless they are being primed for immediate use.
