Fired Staff Members Say ���Paranormal Activity��� to Blame for Abuse of Disabled Patients

Pueblo Regional Center in Pueblo West, Colorado provides patient services for up to 88 individuals with developmental disabilities. In that kind of environment, it is, sadly, not out of the ordinary for patients to hurt themselves, either accidentally or on purpose, and carry signs of their injuries with them for days, weeks, and even longer.

However, several of the injuries to Center residents last year, and in to 2016, were not, it appears, the product of any sort of self-injury, incidental accident, or anything like that.

In fact, it began to look an awful lot, after an investigation was initiated by the Colorado Department of Human Services last year on the basis of a report filed by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), like staff members at the facility were engaging in patient mistreatment at the hospital. That���s not what some of them said happened, however. Some staff members who found themselves on the wrong end of a pink slip after their behavior was uncovered had another explanation for the injuries found on Center patients: paranormal activity.

Yes, indeed. It appears that when some facility patients began showing signs of such abuse as having words like ���Die,��� ���Kill,��� and ���I���m Back��� scratched into their skin, a few of the accused reportedly blamed the supernatural as being the cause of the bizarre, cruel injuries.

Making matters even worse, the report filed indicates that staff members actually took photos of the words scratched into the patients��� skin, and posted those on social media.

Additionally, the reports of alleged abuse at Pueblo include such disturbing acts as patients being burned with blow dryers and, in one case, a resident being coerced by a staff member into sex in exchange for the promise of a soda.

According to KKTV, eight Pueblo employees have been terminated thus far.
