The Hospital’s Ghost

We’re not even out of January, and already the first "Silly Season" story is upon us: a senior manager at Derby’s new City Hospital is calling in an exorcist to rid the hospital of a ghost. Oh deary me (to echo Steve and Sebastian’s immortal words from The High Life).

 

Still, I think that the Guardian‘s deadpan reporting of the story, complete with a picture of a ghost ‘similar to the one that may be haunting Derby’s new hospital’, came the closest to treating the story with the level of seriousness that it deserves.
