About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside the Clarke County Health Department's entrance. A large, furry creature with glowing eyes peered curiously through the window, as if waiting for someone. Curious, the driver waved and called out gently, ‘Hey there, little guy! What brings you here so early?’ To everyone’s surprise, the creature responded by waving back—a tiny paw print appeared on the foggy glass. Neighbors watching from their porches burst into laughter, realizing it was just a mischievous raccoon playing tricks.
2. At closing time, an exhausted nurse locked up the Clarke County Health Department and headed home. Walking past the parking lot, she heard someone whispering inside: ‘It’s not too late… just one more shot.’ Curious, she peeked through the window—an old man in a wheelchair was waving weakly. ‘Just give me another flu shot,’ he pleaded. The nurse laughed, shook her head, and whispered back, ‘Next time, sir, I promise!’
3. At nightfall, while everyone else was settling in for sleep, a curious neighbor heard strange noises coming from inside the Clarke County Health Department. Curious, they peered through the window and saw only an old janitor humming softly as he dusted the counters. Turns out, he’d brought his ukulele from home and was using it to keep himself company during late-night cleaning shifts. The next day, the whole town knew about the ‘haunted health department’—but really, it was just a friendly neighborhood janitor with a great sense of rhythm.
4. At nightfall, while everyone else was settling in for sleep, a curious neighbor heard an eerie voice over the health department’s intercom: ‘Please come forward with your vaccination card… or else.’ The next morning, no one reported seeing anyone without a card, but the receptionist did notice that her coffee cup had mysteriously vanished from its usual spot on the counter. Some said it was just another prank by the night shift staff; others claimed it was the health department’s way of ensuring compliance.
