About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Evans Estate Agents and noticed something odd. The sign above the door seemed to be waving gently in the breeze, even though there was no wind. Curious, he walked closer and saw that the sign wasn’t moving at all—until he realized it was just the reflection of the sun on his truck’s mirror playing tricks on him. He laughed, shook his head, and went inside, only to hear a voice from behind say, ‘Morning, mate! Thought you’d never show up.’ Turning around, he found an old man smiling warmly from the doorway, who introduced himself as Mr. Jenkins, the local eccentric. ‘Welcome to Evans,’ he said, ‘we’ve been waiting for you!’
2. Early one foggy morning, an estate agent's assistant arrived for work and found their coffee cup mysteriously filled with crumbs. Curious, she tasted it—sugar cubes! Throughout the day, more bizarre occurrences followed: a stapler that played nursery rhymes, a fax machine reciting poetry, and finally, a computer screen displaying pictures of penguins waving goodbye. By lunchtime, everyone in the office was laughing so hard they forgot about selling houses.
3. One day, while browsing through old listings online, a curious neighbor wondered aloud: ‘What if that empty house on the corner turns out to be haunted?’ Soon enough, everyone in the neighborhood was talking about it. One evening, a delivery driver even claimed he saw a shadowy figure peering through the window. The next morning, an elderly lady from down the street knocked on the door of Evans Estate Agents and asked if they had any new listings—she wanted to buy the supposedly haunted house for her granddaughter’s birthday surprise.
4. While perusing the latest property listings, a real estate enthusiast exclaimed, 'I wonder if that old mansion is haunted?' Across the street, an elderly neighbor overheard and chuckled, ‘Oh, that place? It’s just Evans’ usual sales pitch—he’s been trying to sell it for years!’ The realtor smiled wryly and replied, ‘Well, you never know—maybe one day it will be your dream home!’
