Newport Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while sorting mail in the Newport Post Office, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he approached the old wooden bench near the entrance, a small dog would appear out of nowhere and sit there, staring intently at him with big brown eyes. The driver waved hello, but the dog never barked or moved—just continued its silent watch until the driver left. Finally, one day, the delivery driver brought a treat for his mysterious friend. As soon as he sat down on the bench, the dog licked his hand gently and disappeared into thin air. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the ghostly canine, everyone in town just smiled and said, 'Oh yeah, that’s our Newport Post Office regular.'

2. A postal worker was counting letters late one night when he heard a strange noise coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peered around and found an envelope with a return address that read simply ‘To Whom It May Concern’. The worker opened it carefully, only to discover a crumpled piece of paper inside reading: 'Dear Sir/Madam, please deliver this letter to myself.' Below was scribbled in pencil: 'P.S. Could you maybe hurry up? I’m running late for my shift at McDonald’s!'

3. One morning, an early bird delivering mail found something peculiar on the Newport Post Office counter—a package addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This.’ Curious but cautious, they opened it carefully and found inside a letter saying simply, 'Please deliver this to someone who needs a smile today.' Inside was a small packet of freshly baked cookies from a local bakery. The delivery driver shared them with his colleagues, and soon word spread around town that the Newport Post Office had become a secret cookie station for good deeds.

4. Have you ever seen a package so big it looks like it could belong to Bigfoot himself? That's what everyone asked when a massive crate arrived at the Newport Post Office last week. Turns out, it was just a giant box of donuts for the local bakery. A regular dropped by to pick it up, laughing and saying, ‘I’ll take one for the road!’ Everyone had a good laugh, and now people joke that maybe Bigfoot does exist—just loves sugary treats.
