About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver approached Cotterhill Hitchman’s darkened office building, he swore he heard faint laughter echoing from within. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty desks and dim lights. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Coffee break’s over!’ Startled, he jumped back, nearly dropping his package. Turned out it was just an enthusiastic young intern who loved practical jokes.
2. In the early hours of morning, a sleepy neighbor knocked on the door of Cotterhill Hitchman Solicitors’ empty reception area. ‘Who’s there?’ called out an anxious voice from inside. ‘Just checking if you’re open,’ replied the neighbor, startled when he heard only echoes in response. ‘I’ll just wait here then,’ muttered the neighbor, shivering slightly in the cold night air. Suddenly, the lights flickered on and off like a mischievous ghost was playing tricks. A deep voice boomed from within: “We’re closed—closed for business!” The neighbor jumped back, only to realize it was merely the night watchman adjusting the security lights. He laughed heartily and said, “Don’t mind us, old chap.” And with that, everyone went home, none the wiser—or perhaps, better off for it.
3. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver approached Cotterhill Hitchman's office building, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw only empty desks and dimly lit hallways. Suddenly, an old man in a tweed suit emerged from behind a desk, humming softly to himself. ‘Ah,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘you’ve found us too. We’re just closing up shop for the evening.’ The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was merely Cotterhill Hitchman’s resident ghost accountant, who had been working late into the night.
4. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver approached Cotterhill Hitchman Solicitors' ominously quiet offices, he heard a voice whispering from inside: 'Memo for tomorrow—send that invoice to someone who’ll actually pay it!' Curious, the driver cracked open the door—a stack of unpaid invoices fluttered gently into his arms. Next morning, everyone in the office received an identical memo: ‘Memo for today—find the guy who keeps delivering our invoices.’
