About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom of Walgreens, he heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your flying saucer to the customer service desk.’ Confused, the driver found the intercom and asked, ‘Excuse me? What flying saucer?’ A sleepy voice replied, ‘Oh, never mind,’ and the line went dead. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned UFOs around town, everyone would wink knowingly and say, ‘Ask Walgreens—they’ve seen everything!’

2. Late one afternoon, while stocking shelves in the Walgreens pharmacy, an employee noticed something odd—a faint humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, she followed the noise and found a small radio nestled among the Band-Aids and cough drops. It seemed that an elderly delivery driver had accidentally left it there earlier. The next day, everyone brought their own tunes, turning the pharmacy into a makeshift karaoke joint during lunch breaks.

3. One morning, while checking inventory in the early hours at Walgreens, a clerk heard a faint whisper coming from behind the counter. "Have you seen it?" someone asked. Curious, the clerk turned around and saw no one. Then, from another aisle, came another soft voice: 'Seen it where?' Startled, he looked everywhere but found only empty shelves and quiet. Later that day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing an old lady browsing the aspirin section. The next morning, everyone at work swore they heard whispers again—until a neighbor confessed she’d been leaving notes about lost items.

4. Late one evening, while restocking shelves in the Walgreens pharmacy, an employee swore they saw a shadowy figure dart behind the aisles. Curious but cautious, they followed the faint sound of rustling bags. As they rounded the corner, the figure turned out to be just an old shopping bag caught on a shelf. Embarrassed, the employee laughed it off and went back to work. Later that night, while locking up, they heard a familiar voice from inside: ‘Hey, did you forget something?’ It was only the night janitor, who’d been hiding behind the counter for a good laugh.
