About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Amarillo, after dark, strange things were said to happen near the Public Health Clinic. One night, a delivery driver noticed an odd glow coming from behind the building. Curious, he approached and found himself face-to-face with a small child who kept pointing up at the sky, whispering, ‘Look, mister, look!’ As the delivery driver leaned in closer, trying to make sense of it all, the kid suddenly giggled and pointed even higher into the night sky. Turned out, it was just an old streetlight reflecting off a passing satellite. The driver shook his head, smiled, and walked away, muttering something about kids these days seeing things that weren’t there. But as he drove off, he couldn’t help but wonder if maybe—just maybe—the kid had seen something special after all.

2. In Amarillo, late one night when the Public Health Clinic had long closed its doors, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the parking lot lights seemed to flicker on and off in rhythm with the hum of an old radio inside. Curious, he approached the building and heard faint music coming from within. Inside, amidst the quiet desks and empty waiting rooms, sat an old man dozing off with headphones on. The delivery driver smiled, realizing it was just an elderly volunteer playing his favorite country station to keep himself company during lonely nights. ‘Guess I’ll leave you to your tunes,’ he chuckled as he drove away, leaving behind the soft strains of Hank Williams' classic ballads.

3. In Amarillo, on particularly foggy nights, an old man in a trench coat would be seen leaving the Public Health Clinic just as the last lights went out. It turned out he was just a regular guy who worked late and forgot his keys. Every night, he’d sneak back through the fog, only to be spotted by worried neighbors who thought he was up to no good. Eventually, someone left a spare key outside for him, and the mystery vanished like morning mist.

4. In Amarillo, every now and then, a faint humming sound would come from the direction of the Public Health Clinic late at night. Noises like that usually didn’t concern anyone much—until one day, a delivery driver claimed he saw a shadowy figure darting between buildings. Soon enough, rumors spread like wildfire through town. Some said it was an alien abduction center, others swore it was a secret government lab. But one old lady down the street quipped, ‘Probably just some ghosts arguing over who gets the last cookie.’ And that pretty much summed up Amarillo’s take on the whole thing.
