Night Terrors: London, 1918
The mystery of the St. Benedictine Hospital fire has intrigued scholars and historians alike; and has, over the years, spawned a number of conspiracies and ghost stories. No one knows the exact nature or cause of the fire, or why it spread so quickly through the Pembrook Ward of the hospital. What is known is this:On a balmy summers night in late August, 1918, during the height of both World War I and the London Spanish Flu epidemic, the Pembrook Wing of the St. Benetine Hospital caught fire and burned to the ground. Seventy-one patients, one doctor, and three nurses were killed in the blaze. Investigators at the time reported that the fire appeared to be deliberately set, that none of the staff or patients in the Pembrook Wing appeared to have made any attempt at escape, and that five of the six doors to the wing were chained shut from the inside.
Further adding to the mystery, none of the staff or patients of the hospitals other three wings made any attempts to assist those inside the Pembrook Wing, or attempted to raise the alarm. It was only after nearby residents of London's Whitechapel district sounded the alarm themselves that the fire brigade responded, and by then the entire wing was already engulfed in flames.
What happened on that balmy August night remains a mystery that the surviving Doctor's, Nurses, and Patient's of St.Benedictine's Hospital took to their grave. And the mystery surrounding those who died has never been solved...
This is their story...
