About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as patients were settling in for sleep, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please note that our new masseuse has joined the staff.’ Silence followed, then whispers spread through the ward like wildfire. Soon enough, a soft voice echoed down the hall: 'Good evening, everyone! I'm here to help you relax.' A nurse poked her head out and whispered, 'She's blind!' The next morning, the entire ward was buzzing with stories of deep tissue massages and soothing chants—until someone realized they never saw the masseuse leave.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock and noticed something strange—a faint, whistling sound seemed to be coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he called out softly into the darkness, only to hear the echo of his own voice answered back with a gentle laugh. The delivery driver peered around nervously, but saw no one. Just as he was about to leave, he heard another soft chuckle, followed by the tinkle of tiny bells. Turning sharply, he caught sight of a small, mischievous-looking teddy bear waving from behind a curtain. ‘Who’s there?’ he asked, laughing now too. The bear just winked and disappeared, leaving him shaking his head and muttering, “Next time I’ll bring cookies.”

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic’s loading dock and noticed something unusual—a large box labeled ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ sitting alone on the pavement. Curious, he picked it up and opened the seal. Inside was a single sheet of paper with just one word scribbled in pencil: ‘COFFEE.’ Turns out, someone had accidentally shipped a giant box of beans meant for the staff break room.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic’s loading dock and found himself facing a sign that read ‘Deliveries Only—No Visitors Allowed.’ Curious, he peered inside through the window and saw rows of beds, each occupied by patients who appeared to be sound asleep. But then he noticed something odd: all the clocks on the walls showed different times. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a soft voice from behind him whisper, ‘Delivery guy? We’re having cookies and milk in room three.’ Confused but intrigued, he followed the sound and discovered an old gentleman patient waving him over. Turns out it was just an elaborate prank organized by the residents for new arrivals. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking, ‘At least here they keep you entertained!’
