Porter Pediatrics

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Porter Pediatrics closed its doors, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift through the neighborhood. A regular noticed it first—an eerie but gentle tone that seemed to come from inside the building itself. Curious neighbors began investigating, thinking maybe it was ghostly spirits or mischievous kids playing tricks. Turned out, though, that the hum came from an old refrigerator in the break room, left on overnight by a forgetful delivery driver. The legend of Porter Pediatrics’ haunting melody became just another funny story among the townsfolk.

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver parked his truck outside Porter Pediatrics, he noticed something peculiar: an old wooden stool, seemingly out of place, had appeared near the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and found an old photo tucked inside—a child laughing with Dr. Porter himself. Smiling, the driver placed the stool back where he found it, thinking maybe it was just a quirky tradition. Later that evening, while unloading boxes, he heard a familiar voice from behind: 'Hey, thanks for keeping our family legacy intact!' Turned out, it belonged to none other than a regular patient's mom.

3. Late one morning, as a nurse was preparing for her shift at Porter Pediatrics, she noticed something odd on the security camera feed—an empty stroller seemed to be rolling down the hallway all by itself. Curious, she followed it and found an old teddy bear inside. It turned out that a little boy had left it there during his last visit. The stroller, it seems, had simply been pushed along by the wind from an open door. Everyone had a good laugh over the prankster teddy bear, and the story became a favorite among staff.

4. One day, an anxious parent whispered to another in the waiting room: ‘You know, they say that whenever a baby smiles here, Porter Pediatrics starts playing a little tune.’ Another parent overheard and laughed: ‘Really? And what happens if no baby smiles?’ A voice from behind said, ‘Then they start singing “I’m a Little Teapot” until someone does!’
