About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, an elderly gentleman emerged from the mailroom, muttering something about ‘the usual’ and reaching for his coffee cup. As the driver placed the box on the counter, the old man grumbled, ‘That’s three today already!’ He then winked at the driver and said, ‘Better hurry, they’re waiting outside.’ The driver looked puzzled but smiled, shaking his head. Later that day, when asked by a curious colleague what was in the packages, he replied, ‘Who knows? Probably just more letters from Georgia Tech’s famous pen-pal club.’

2. Late one night, a postal worker heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the Georgia Tech Post Office. Curious, she peered into the dimly lit room and saw something moving—envelopes seemed to be dancing across the counter on their own. As she watched in amazement, the envelopes formed a perfect line and then began to float towards her. Startled but intrigued, she reached out to touch them—and felt nothing but cool air. Turning around, she noticed that the entire building was now filled with tiny, invisible hands helping the delivery driver stack mailboxes. It turned out to be just another late-night prank by Georgia Tech students.

3. One day, while sorting mail late into the afternoon, a postal worker noticed something strange: envelopes addressed to ‘The Unseen Recipient’ kept appearing in the outgoing pile. Curious, she checked the address again and found it always led to an old, abandoned house on the edge of campus. One evening, after dark, she decided to deliver one herself—only to discover that inside lived a friendly hermit who’d been receiving these letters for years. Turns out he was the unseen recipient all along, and everyone had been delivering his mail for him without even knowing it.

4. Have you ever seen a package so big it looked like it could fit an entire dorm room? That's what everyone started talking about at Georgia Tech Post Office. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box so massive that even he raised an eyebrow. Turns out, it was just a neighbor’s Christmas tree—oversized and destined for someone’s apartment. Everyone laughed, but no one dared open it again until graduation.
