About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Oldham Company’s doors were usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The streetlights outside flickered on and off in an eerie rhythm, as if someone inside were playing with their switches. Curious, he peeped through the window and saw an old man in a tweed suit, dancing wildly while flipping light switches. ‘What on earth?’ thought the driver, but before he could react, the lights went out completely. When they came back on, everyone was calmly signing papers at desks. Turns out, it was just a senior partner celebrating his retirement.’

2. One morning, while old Mr. Oldham was signing papers in his office, he heard a strange noise coming from outside. ‘Is that a squirrel?’ he wondered aloud. Curious, he looked out the window and saw nothing but an ordinary delivery driver adjusting his package. Suddenly, Mr. Oldham burst into laughter—‘Of course it’s not a squirrel! It’s just life delivering its daily surprises.’

3. At lunchtime, an intern nervously shuffled through the stacks of documents on Oldham Company's desk. Suddenly, every time she flipped a page, the coffee cup on her colleague's desk would twitch ever so slightly. Finally, after hours of flipping, the intern found what she was looking for—a crucial document that had been misplaced weeks ago. As she triumphantly closed the folder, everyone in the office simultaneously sneezed. Turns out, it was just a particularly dusty old file.

4. In the late afternoon shadows, when lawyers at Oldham Company were deep in debate, a young intern noticed something peculiar outside the window. A small dog, its fur standing on end, frantically circled the building, sniffing intently at the door. Interns exchanged puzzled glances until one of them opened the door slightly—suddenly, the dog bounded inside and rushed towards an old filing cabinet, knocking over several folders. Everyone burst out laughing as the little canine scurried away with a file folder under his paw, leaving behind only confused looks and a pile of papers scattered across the floor.
