My parents lived in Westville and the closest hospital was Holy Family. My older brother was born there in 1953 and I was in 1956.

I too was born in this hospital on May 16, 1942. My father worked as a guard nearby at the KOP (Kingsbury Ordinance Plant.) The made ammunition for the war. Around 10,000 people worked there. One spark and the whole place could blow up. I lived in a trailer park nearby.

I worked at this hospital in the early 70's. It was then called E St Hospital and the nuns and Catholic affiliation were over. The two hospitals in town were incorperated as prep for a building of a new facility. The nuns were far from gone though! I never believed in the supernatural until incident after incident proved me wrong! This haunting was never a scary or negative thing. It was clearly a caring and loving spirit that had a deep attachment to the building and it's patients. I loved my first job as an RN there!

I was born in this hospital on Feb. 15, 1934. My parents lived in LaCrosse, IN. I was apparently premature, and my lungs were not yet fully developed. The doctor insisted I be baptized in the delivery room. My mother did not have a name ready, so I was named after a nun in the delivery room, Sister Angelita. I'm sure my mother had no clue that Angelita is Spanish, meaning "little angel."

I was born in this hospital on November 20,1940. My mother told me that in those days the mother and child remained in the hospital for at least 10 days. All of the nurses were Nuns. They knew that we were not Catholic, so every time one of them visited the nursery where I was when away from my mother, they would take Holy Water and Baptize me. She told me that I was Baptized at least 8 times during our stay.

I believe I was born in this hospital in 1936. I was then adopted by Jesse and Letta Kanouse of South Bend Indiana.
