Nurse Sherri
1977 Jill Jacobson
Sherri Martin is a 21 year old nurse whose sweet disposition and even temper have made her hated by some jealous staff members in the hospital she works in. On the other hand most of her patients find this quality just what they like about her. It is ironic then that Sherri should be fated to be the one chosen to be possessed by a strange and mystic power. Alone in her room she is seemingly "raped by an invisible presence". She struggles without success in a most horrifying and tormenting scene. After this possession her behavior changes strangely. Her attitude towards Dr. Peter Desmond, her fiance also changes. Sherri, without warning, heads off on unexplained trips to murder people she hardly knows. One of these is Dr. Nelson former head of the hospital's surgical staff. Nurse Tara Williams has become friendly with one of the hospital's patients. He is Marcus Washington, a tragically blinded black pro football star. Marcus senses trouble in the hospital through the extra sense his blindness has

given him. That combined with a Hatian background leads him to suspect someone close of being possessed by something or someone evil. Nurses Beth and Tara discover the mutilated corpse of Nurse Gorden and this leads them to suspect Sherri. Marcus explains to the two nurses that Sherri must be possessed and eventually the girls uncover the fantastic truth. Two years prior, a religious fanatic, Reanhauer, was forced to undergo an operation that he didn't want in the hospital. He later died on the operating table. His departed spirit has now possessed Sherri and he is having everyone who participated in the surgery killed in a most brutal manner by the young girl he has possessed.
Tara and Beth find out that the only way to stop the possession is to prevent the undead spirit from coming to earth through the medium of travel - his "last earthly remains". Through great research the girls find the cemetery where Reanhauer is buried and attempt to unearth the coffin and burn his body. At the same time Sherri is preparing to kill Dr. Peter Desmond with a heavy meat cleaver. The girls in the cemetery are delayed by strange winds and forces that impede their destroying the body. Eventually their task is done and in time to prevent Sherri from killing Peter as she collapses when the body is burned. As Sherri has murdered several people, she is considered criminally insane by Dr. Andrews who dismisses the real cause as "utter nonsense". An anguished Peter gazes into a padded cell where an obviously sane but bewildered Sherri sits, restrained by a straight jacket.
