About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while Kristi was showing a house, her little golden retriever started barking uncontrollably at an empty corner of the garden. No matter how many times she tried calming him down, he kept growling and pointing towards the same spot. Finally, curious as to what could possibly scare her dog, Kristi approached the area. To her surprise, there was just an old, rusty nail sticking out from the ground. Her retriever had such a sensitive nose that it picked up even the slightest scent or vibration! Since then, whenever someone asks why her dog is so protective, Kristi simply smiles and says, 'He’s just doing his job—looking for treasure!'
2. One day, Kristi noticed that whenever she showed a new property, the mailman would drop off letters in exactly the same spot every time—right next to an old oak tree. Kristi started noticing other odd occurrences too—they always seemed to happen when she was showing properties. One day, while explaining the perfect location of a house near a park, she accidentally pointed out the window and shouted, ‘Look, it’s our friendly neighborhood delivery driver!’ Turns out he’d been delivering packages to the exact same place for years—a small shed behind the office. Everyone had a good laugh, and Kristi learned never to assume anything anymore.
3. Kristi was showing a potential buyer around an old Victorian when suddenly, one of the chandeliers began swaying slightly on its own. The client looked puzzled, but Kristi just smiled and said it was probably just the air conditioning. But later that night, her son insisted that he saw the same chandelier moving in their empty house. The next day, Kristi found out from the maintenance guy that the AC unit had been serviced overnight—no ghostly activity involved. Later, while closing up shop, she overheard two delivery drivers discussing how they’d seen ‘an old lady with a candle’ near the office late last night. Turned out, it was just Kristi’s mom dropping off some cookies for her birthday.
4. Kristi was showing a couple through a quiet residential street when they stopped abruptly. ‘Did you hear that?’ asked the husband, pointing towards an old oak tree. Kristi listened intently and heard it too—a soft, rhythmic tapping sound, like someone gently knocking on wood. The tapping grew louder, almost as if someone were playing a tiny drum inside the tree. Kristi smiled and said, 'I’ve never noticed that before.' The couple exchanged amused glances, then laughed softly. As they continued walking, Kristi casually mentioned, 'Maybe it's just the wind or a squirrel having fun.' But deep down, she wondered if maybe—just maybe—they’d stumbled upon a secret rhythm of the city.
