About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver approached Baggaley Chemist, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just old bottles and dusty shelves. Yet every now and then, that eerie giggle seemed to echo again. Finally, the driver decided to investigate further. As he opened the door, an elderly gentleman emerged from behind the counter with a smile: ‘Morning, sonny,’ he said cheerfully. ‘Just tidying up before opening.’ Turned out it was only Mr. Jenkins, the friendly neighborhood pharmacist who’d retired last week.

2. At midnight, when most pharmacies were silent, an old lady started visiting Baggaley Chemist every Thursday. She’d quietly slip in, ask for one strange item, then leave without saying a word. Finally, someone asked the pharmacist about her. Turned out she just needed ‘one packet of invisible ink’ each week—she was a secret agent practicing stealth deliveries! Everyone laughed and learned never to underestimate their local chemist again.

3. Late one night, while Baggaley Chemist should have been closed, a delivery driver noticed a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw no one—just rows of shelves glowing softly. The humming grew louder, so he opened the door cautiously. Inside, everything was bathed in an eerie blue light. On the counter stood a small bottle labeled ‘Night Shift Elixir’. A voice whispered, ‘Finally here…’ Turned out it was just a neighborhood cat who thought the chemist’s empty shop made a cozy bed.’

4. Late one night, after closing hours, a delivery driver pulled up outside Baggaley Chemist and noticed something odd: a faint voice crackling over the store’s abandoned intercom system. Curious, he approached the intercom and asked who was there. A scratchy voice replied, ‘I’m just checking if you’ve got any aspirin left.’ Turned out it was an old neighbor, who’d forgotten his medication again. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring him some aspirin—and maybe a flashlight too!’
