About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the Austin Emergency Center on Anderson Mill. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something peculiar: every time he took a step towards the entrance, the lights dimmed slightly, only to brighten again once he moved away. Finally, after several steps back and forth, the driver realized that it was just his flashlight reflecting off the clinic’s security mirror. He laughed at himself, thinking, ‘Guess I’m not as tired as I thought.’ The next day, a regular patient joked with him, “Hey, did you know your shadow almost became our newest emergency case last night?”
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Austin Emergency Center with a strange sound coming from under the hood. As he popped the bonnet, everyone in the waiting room heard it too—a rhythmic tapping that grew louder and more insistent. Just then, an old lady sitting next to him leaned over and whispered, ‘That’s not your engine—it’s my husband snoring!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who realized his mistake. The tapping stopped as soon as they closed the bonnet, and everyone had a good laugh before going home.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Austin Emergency Center and asked the nurse, ‘Do you guys ever see any ghosts around here?’ The nurse looked puzzled but replied, ‘Not really, why do you ask?’ The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and whispered, 'Well, I saw something strange in the parking lot—this old lady waving from behind a tree.' The nurse laughed heartily and said, 'Probably just Mrs. Johnson next door, she does that sometimes when she can't sleep.' And with that, they both went back to their work, knowing that some things are better left unexplained.
4. Late one night, when the streets of Austin were quiet as a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Austin Emergency Center. The sign above the door flickered ominously in the darkness, casting eerie shadows on the waiting room. As he entered, a friendly nurse asked, 'Can I help you with something?' The delivery driver sheepishly replied, 'Just here for some ice and maybe a nap—my truck's air conditioner broke down.' The nurse laughed, 'Welcome to our emergency center!'
