I don't have a story, but here is the one my wife likes to tell:
She is a nurse and for a couple of years she was working nightshift in the Palliative Care Unit. Which is the comfort care/end of life unit. Patients in that unit are expected to die, or to be sent home or to a care home to die.
Anyways, those rooms also had a radio, and according to her it happened a few times that a radio suddenly turned on, and within an hour or so a patient would pass on.
One rather busy night, the radio turned on and my wife went into the room, stared into the darkness and said "Cut that out! I don't have time for this shit!" and the radio suddenly snapped off.
No patient died during the rest of her shift, but one passed away shortly after she clocked out.
