actually, if you brighten the picture, there is lots more of that misty stuff all around the room. my guess would be that it's just dust or some sort of trick of the light.
LOL- The black lines i forgot to remove ma bad and yea there does seem to be mist there or maybe Ectoplasm who knows and for the hospital heres so research for you all:
Ballochmyle Hospital was one of the seven hospitals built in Scotland by the Department of Health at the beginning of World War II. At that time the Spanish Civil War was fresh in everyone's mind and it was assumed that the devastation caused by air bombardment in that conflict would be repeated.
So in 1938 in the Civil Defence Act provided for the setting up of the new hospitals to deal with civilian casualties. As time was short, the buildings used had to be erected quickly and were expected to be temporary structures with a life of around 10 years. Many people think of Ballochmyle as a military hospital, but it was staffed by civilian doctors, together with nurses from the Civil Nursing Reserve assisted by nurses in the Red Cross. When, in the early months of the war, there was little enemy air action,and few civilian patients, it was decided to make beds available to members of the armed forces and Merchant Navy as well as certain categories of civilians.
Building commenced in October 1939 and within a year the first patients were being admitted, among them survivors of U boat attack in the North Atlantic.
The first major incident involving the hospital was the Clydebank blitz in March 1941 when casualties were brought not only in ambulances, but in vans, trucks and anything that was available. Most were in a pitiful state and in many cases their homes had been destroyed. In May of the same year, many casualties from the Greenock blitz were admitted, mostly suffering from severe burns.
From 1942 onwards, service patients were arriving from the Middle East and Mediterranean zones. Their long journey brought them by hospital train to Mauchline railway station in groups of varying numbers. From there in convoys of ambulances and trucks they finally arrived at Ballochmyle. Most had been casualties in battle, while others were suffering from illnesses. In one particularly busy day in April 1943, two hundred and ninety seven patients were admitted. On days when these large convoys arrived, ALL members of staff, whether on duty or off duty, came to help. Sorting out and admitting such large numbers was a mammoth task.
By now, Ballochmyle was gaining a fine reputation, in particular for the excellence of the unit specialising in Plastic Surgery and injuries to the face and jaw. Its expertise was such that it was selected as a training school for officers of the Royal Army Dental Corps - and it was said that the techniques learnt at Ballochmyle were put into practice in every theatre of the war.
The busiest time came with the D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944; and in the period to May 1945, 6000 patients were admitted. They were mainly battle casualties from the campaign in North West Europe and included members of British, Allied and Commonwealth forces, and some prisoners of war. In addition, several hundred civilians were evacuated to Ballochmyle from hospitals in the London area at the height of the attacks by Hitler's secret weapons - the V1 and V2 rockets. At that time the hospital was working to its full capacity of 1200 patients!
When in May 1945 the war ended, and the admission of service patients dropped, the hospital began to prepare for its new role as a General Hospital providing a wide range of services to the people of South West Scotland. A Polish Unit was set up within the hospital and this proved to be a great boon to those in the repatriation and resettlement camps in the area. At this time Ballochmyle was the largest General Hospital in Southern Scotland.
The School of Nursing opened in February 1947, and, while many of the students had local connections, others came from exotic places such as St Helena in the South Atlantic, The Seychelles and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, India, Pakistan, Malaysia and the West Indies. With many of the doctors also coming from overseas, a unique cosmopolitan atmosphere prevailed.
With the advent of the National Health Service in 1948, alterations took place. Dayrooms and other annexes were created, An Out-patient Department was started with a wide range of specialist clinics, some wards closed, and the number of beds in each ward was reduced from 40 to 26!
Ballochmyle continued its record of excellence in the post-war years, and the prestige of the hospital continued to recruit doctors and nurses who felt they would benefit from the Ballochmyle experience. The hospital gained an international reputation, and patients from Europe, United States, Canada, South Africa and Australia all benefitted from the services of the hospital.
The various wards and departments provided distinguished service over the years; and, with the highly specialised work done in the Plastic Surgery Unit and the Urology Unit, ensured Ballochmyle a place in the history books. The devoted staff were widely acclaimed and dealt with many incidents apart from the routine.
Plane crashes in 1948 and 1954, The Knockshinnoch mining disaster in 1950, The Kames Colliery explosion in 1957 and the Killoch Colliery accident in 1976 all called for the care and expertise available at Ballochmyle.
The first sign of the dispersal of Ballochmyle came with the transfer of the Plastic Surgery Unit in 1967 to Canniesburn Hospital in Glasgow which then became the centre for Plastic Surgery in the West of Scotland.
Then in the 1980s, new hospital building in Ayrshire commenced. This brought the transfer of some units to the newly built Crosshouse hospital, and shortly after, the Accident & Emergency Unit moved to Ayr County Hospital.
From 1991 the gradual rundown of Ballochmyle continued, with department after department and members of staff moving to either the new Ayr Hospital or the up-graded Biggart Hospital.
In the year 2000 East Ayrshire Community Hospital opened at Cumnock, and now - June 2001 - the bulldozers are clearing the Ballochmyle site, and only memories remain of the wonderful service provided to those in need in times of war and peace.
Our Ballochmyle will be remembered as a hospital in peaceful and idyllic surroundings - a hospital which ensured skilful and dedicated treatment to so many over a period of 60 years - such treatment being ministered by a sympathetic and friendly staff - a staff who really cared.

Personally, I did not see much in the photos but I will not rule out the possibility of having captured a spirit on film given the history of this location.
It certainly has a very interesting history! So is the building gone now?
l don't see really anything out of the ordinary in the picture just mist or dust particles.
but l'm not saying that it is not a spirt l can't tell for sure.
