Gina Lambert was a demonic nurse who haunted Tarrytown Psychiatric Hospital, tempting several patients to commit suicide by giving them pills.
History[]
Nurse Gina Lambert was once a human and a nurse. In 1958, however, she was arrested for causing the deaths of 21 mental patients in the hospitals she worked, including Tarrytown Psych. Lambert worked in hospitals across the country in the 1950s, leaving a trail of bodies behind her. Lambert fed patients a cocktail of drugs that included Sodium Pentothal, which for people on the verge, could break down their emotional defenses and make them willing to take their own lives.

Lambert's original fate.
Authorities finally caught Lambert in 1958 when she was working at Tarrytown Psychiatric. She claimed she saw all her victims as mercy killings, that she was ending their pain and granting them freedom by convincing them to commit suicide. She was convicted of murder and sent to the electric chair at Sing Sing in 1959.
Moloch, however, apparently takes advantage of the fact Tarrytown Hospital is built on a specific ley line that points of convergence between the earthly realm and the spirit world. Nurse Lambert returns as a demonic ghost, and begins killing patients again. Frank Irving almost becomes one of Nurse Lambert's victims, but he is saved from drowning himself by the Mills sisters and Nick Hawley.
When Abbie is tasked with looking into the suspicious deaths, she brings Jenny as backup, and the both see the ghost of their mother, Lori Roberts, and through viewing an old therapy session of Lori's learned that it was Lambert who encouraged Lori to kill herself. As the sisters had seen Lambert earlier, they realized it was Lambert, not Lori who was the danger. Abbie suggests, "I think this is Mom trying to stop this demon from killing other people. Her final note said, 'I fought.' What if this is her still fighting?" Finally the sisters find their way to their mother's old cell and there learn of a way to stop Lambert, but not before Lambert snatches Abbie away and straps her to a gurney where she torments her, "You have so much troubling you. Your mother struggled, too. She resisted at first, but we ended up seeing eye-to-eye. Some of us aren't strong enough to bear the burden. They need an angel of mercy to help them cross over, to free them from pain. Your mother finally surrendered, you have to, end the pain....Do it." [1]
Lambert is then banished from the earthly plane by Jenny who retrieves her mother's journal, and recites the West African invocation to expel witch doctors who had risen from the dead that had been recorded by Grace Dixon in the family journal.[1]
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Demon physiology: Gina was resurrected, apparently through Moloch's influence. She then gains various demonic supernatural attributes such as
- Teleportation: She can teleport about Tarrytown Psychiatric Hospital to surprise her victims. She also teleports short distances as shown when she was talking to Abbie in front of her then a moment later, she’s behind her whispering in her ear.
- Telekinesis: Gina can move objects and people with the flick of her wrist, as shown when she telekinetically threw Abbie, Hawley, and Jenny into the walls of Lori's cell. She also uses her power to force Abbie to open her mouth in order to feed her her pills.
- Electronic interference: Moments before teleporting into Lori's room, the lights flickered on and off. Unknown whether this was intentional to create fear in her victims or whether this is a occasional side effect from her teleporting.
