Nurse reports seeing Grim Reaper figure at patient's bedside during night shift

A nurse reported seeing a "7ft Grim Reaper" figure at a patient's bedside during a night shift. The patient was nearing death, and the nurse described a large dark figure in a cloak looming over him, which heightened his anxiety. Dr. Andrea O'Connor shared this account while compiling similar stories from healthcare workers. She noted that the nurse later reported the sighting to the next shift, expressing her belief that she saw the Grim Reaper. While some healthcare professionals shared similar experiences, Dr. O'Connor suggested that stress and fatigue could explain such sightings. The patient died later that evening.
