About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to University Hospitals and muttered under his breath, ‘This place is haunted!’ The next morning, nurses found his truck parked outside with the engine running but no one inside. Later that week, another delivery driver arrived, glanced around nervously, then whispered, 'I heard they found the first guy's ghost delivering packages.' He paused, shook his head, and said aloud, 'No thanks, I'll take the elevator!'

2. Late one night, an orderly walked down the hallway of University Hospitals when he heard a strange humming sound coming from behind a closed door. Curious but cautious, he approached slowly until the noise grew louder—like someone whistling an old tune while scrubbing floors. Finally, he opened the door and found only an old janitor, humming softly as he polished the floor. ‘What song are you singing?’ asked the startled orderly. The janitor replied, smiling, ‘Oh, just “University March” from our school’s football game last week.’

3. Early morning at University Hospitals, when a janitor heard soft footsteps in the empty corridors. Curious, he followed them only to discover a small white rabbit skipping through the halls. The janitor smiled and gently picked up the rabbit, following its tiny paws until they led him to an empty office. Inside sat a sleepy-eyed delivery driver dozing off after his shift. ‘Guess you had company,’ chuckled the janitor as he handed back the furry intruder. The driver rubbed his eyes and grinned: ‘Must’ve been that caffeine-free tea again!’

4. Late one night, an orderly walked down the hallway of University Hospitals when he noticed a strange note taped to every door: ‘If you hear whispers, don’t turn around.’ Curious, he ignored the warning and peeked behind him—only to see a dusty old teddy bear whispering softly. Shaking his head with a smile, he thought it was just another prank by a regular patient. From then on, whenever anyone asked what they heard, he’d reply, ‘Just your friendly neighborhood teddy bear saying goodnight.’
