About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning in Boise, a delivery driver pulled up outside St. Luke’s Clinic and noticed something strange. As he opened the van door, an eerie humming filled the air—like a thousand tiny bees buzzing in unison. He glanced around but saw no one else nearby.} Curious, he looked inside and found nothing unusual—a quiet waiting room with patients reading magazines. Just then, an old man shuffled out, muttering about his asthma medication. The delivery driver laughed it off as just another Boise oddity. Turns out, those were just the clinic’s air purifiers humming away.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up outside St. Luke’s Clinic and noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or return address. The delivery driver opened it carefully, only to find inside an old teddy bear wearing a stethoscope around its neck. Turned out, it was from a neighbor who thought they heard strange noises coming from the clinic late at night. Everyone had a good laugh, and now the bear is a regular sight at St. Luke’s Clinic.

3. One afternoon, a neighbor stopped by St. Luke’s Clinic with a curious question: ‘Have you ever seen a ghostly figure in the parking lot?’ The staff exchanged puzzled looks—until they remembered that very morning… It turned out to be just an old coat caught on a fence post, waving eerily in the wind. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee later that day, and the mysterious sighting became a running joke among staff. Now, whenever someone sees something unusual, they whisper, 'Could it be another ghostly visitor?'

4. One autumn afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly at St. Luke’s Clinic entrance. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘look! It looks like someone drew a smiley face on that tree!’ Her mother just smiled and said, ‘Honey, it’s probably just some graffiti.’ But every time they passed by afterward, the smiley face seemed to grow bigger… Finally, one day, the family moved away. Months later, while driving through town, they saw an old man pushing a wheelbarrow full of paintbrushes towards St. Luke’s Clinic. Curious, they asked what he was doing. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Just touching up the smiley face!'
