Farmácia Nossa Senhora do Carmo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an old neighborhood pharmacy in New England, customers often noticed strange things happening after dark. One evening, a young boy entered the dimly lit store and pointed excitedly towards the shelves. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look at those bottles moving!’ His mother glanced over, but saw nothing unusual—just until she looked down at her own reflection in one of the medicine jars. A few days later, an elderly neighbor popped in for some cough syrup. As she reached for the jar, she swore it tilted slightly toward her. Smiling to herself, she muttered, 'Guess I’m not seeing things tonight!' Turning around, she found everyone staring at her from behind the counter—and realized they were just regulars playing a prank.

2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Farmácia Nossa Senhora do Carmo and asked the pharmacist, ‘Did you see that bottle of aspirin just flew off the shelf?’ The pharmacist shook his head with a smile, replying, 'No, I didn’t see anything.' The delivery driver looked around suspiciously for a moment before laughing and saying, 'Must’ve been a ghostly customer!' And so, the legend of the flying aspirin was born.

3. In a quiet corner of Boston, a delivery driver pulled up to Farmácia Nossa Senhora do Carmo late one night. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd—a small, handwritten note stuck to the pharmacy’s door. It read: ‘For best results, shake three times before use.’ Curious, he opened the door and found only an old bottle labeled 'Energy Boost'. Inside was a single pill and a note that said: 'Take once daily for extra energy.' The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood saw him dancing around the warehouse like a man possessed!'

4. In a small town pharmacy in the Midwest, after hours when everyone had gone home, a curious little dog started appearing outside the window every night. The night clerk, noticing the pup’s persistent visits, finally opened the door one evening—only to find himself face-to-face with a very confused and wagging tail. Turns out, the dog was just following his nose to some yummy treats left behind by a delivery driver. From then on, whenever anyone came for late-night assistance, they’d hear barking from inside—and eventually, a sleepy voice asking if they needed anything ‘for humans or dogs?’
