About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an Oswald Companies employee noticed something peculiar: every time he opened the basement door, a faint whistling sound would echo through the building. No one else seemed to hear it until a curious delivery driver mentioned that his dog growled whenever they drove past the office during the day. Finally, after much puzzlement, the employee discovered that an old ventilator in the basement was responsible for the eerie noise. When fixed, the whistling ceased—but so did the dog’s growls. Turns out, the delivery driver's canine friend had simply been protecting its territory from what it thought was a rival pooch!

2. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does it always seem like someone’s watching me from inside that building?’ Another day, another delivery, and our friend noticed an old man waving from one of the upper floors. Turned out he was just watering his indoor plants and thought the driver needed some company on such a dull morning. From then on, whenever anyone delivered something to Oswald Companies, they’d wave back with a smile—like neighbors greeting each other across the street.

3. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Oswald Companies and muttered, 'I’ve never seen these mailboxes move on their own before.' As he approached the door, it slowly swung open by itself. Startled, he called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A quiet voice replied from inside, ‘Just your friendly neighborhood insurance agent.’ Turns out, it was just an old automated system greeting visitors—nothing more than a quirky urban legend.

4. In the dead of winter, when snowdrifts blocked most streets, a delivery driver approached Oswald Companies with a puzzled expression. 'I keep seeing headlights,' he said, 'but no cars.' Curious, the delivery driver followed the lights through the snow until he found an old man in a woolen cap, waving cheerfully from behind a stack of insurance documents. ‘You’ve been practicing your driving in here?’ asked the perplexed driver. The old man smiled and replied, “No, I’m just waiting for spring.”
