About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading packages, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the B&Y Insurance Agency. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old safe door slowly opening on its own. Inside, the delivery driver found nothing but dust and old papers. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman walked up and said, ‘Ah, you must be the one causing all that fuss!’ Turns out, it was just his cat playing with the latch. The neighborhood never took insurance again, but they sure had a good laugh.

2. One day, as a regular was browsing through old policies in the B&Y Insurance Agency, he noticed something strange—all the clocks on the wall seemed to be running backwards. Curious, our regular approached the counter and asked the agent what it meant. With a twinkle in his eye, the agent replied, ‘Ah, sir, those are just our time machines for handling claims!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just an old clock repairman’s trick.

3. While a young intern was sorting through piles of old claims forms one afternoon, she noticed something peculiar: every time she touched a document from the year 1987, it seemed to whisper her name softly. Curious, she followed the sound and found herself in an old storage room filled with dusty boxes. As she picked up another form, an ancient air conditioning unit sputtered to life, playing an old jazz tune that sounded suspiciously like ‘Whispering’ by Ella Fitzgerald. The girl laughed, realizing it was just an old record player hidden behind some papers, and left, never mentioning anything to anyone—except maybe humming the melody for days afterward.

4. In the late afternoon, just as employees were locking up for the day, someone left a note on the door: ‘Your policy covers everything, even ghost stories.’ The next morning, everyone in the office found their desks covered with strange trinkets—old keys, dusty coins, and notes like ‘Policy #12345: Poltergeist Activity Approved.’ It turned out that one of the neighbors had been pranking them all along. The whole agency spent the rest of the week sharing ghost stories over coffee, laughing about it.
