About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Harold Alfond Center and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from the building's ventilation shaft. Curious but not alarmed, he parked his truck and walked towards the entrance. As he approached, the humming grew louder, almost like music. The delivery driver shrugged and thought, 'Who knows, maybe they’re playing some strange tune in there.' He opened the door, only to be greeted by the sight of everyone dancing around in circles, completely oblivious to him. Turns out it was just a group therapy session for improving social skills. The driver left, shaking his head and smiling, never mentioning what he'd seen.
2. One morning, a nurse glanced out the window of Harold Alfond Center and saw something peculiar. ‘Did you hear that?’ she whispered to her colleague. ‘Someone’s been leaving fresh cookies every night on our doorstep.’ ‘Really?’ her colleague replied, grinning. ‘I thought it was just me imagining free snacks!’ Soon enough, they discovered that a friendly neighborhood baker had been delivering freshly baked goods each evening. The nurses named him ‘Cookie Man’ and started exchanging warm smiles with him whenever he dropped off his treats.
3. In the early hours, a delivery driver parked his truck near Harold Alfond Center and found something peculiar in the backseat—an old, dusty teddy bear wearing a hospital uniform. Curious, he took it inside and showed it to a nurse on duty. She laughed and said it was probably left there after some Halloween fun. The next day, the teddy bear reappeared, now holding a small bag of candy. A neighbor explained that someone from the center liked practical jokes and left little treats for staff. Since then, Harold Alfond Center’s nurses often find unexpected gifts hidden around the clinic.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver parked his truck near Harold Alfond Center and wondered aloud: ‘Why does every box I deliver here seem heavier than it should be?’ Suddenly, an old janitor poked his head out from behind the door and said, 'Ah, you must be new around here. Those boxes are filled with nothing but dreams and wishes from our grateful patients.' The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he walked away thinking, 'Next time I'll just bring flowers—lighter and less mysterious!'
