About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as Dr. John B. Slappey, MD, was closing up shop, he heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all patients and staff—please be advised that our office hours are now open twenty-four/seven.’ Since then, some residents claim they’ve seen strange figures wandering around after dark. One night, a regular came in complaining of insomnia. The doctor offered him a prescription for sleep—a sleeping pill dispensed from his own desk drawer. The next morning, everyone found out why the office had been open round-the-clock: Dr. Slappey himself hadn’t slept in days.
2. One morning, a delivery driver found an old, dusty violin tucked into the corner of Dr. John B. Slappey's office. Curious, he picked it up and played a few notes—only to hear the entire waiting room erupt in laughter. The doctor, rubbing his eyes groggily, asked what all the commotion was about. When he saw the violin, he smiled sheepishly and said, 'Oh that? That's just my old instrument from college days.' A neighbor later confessed, ‘I used to see him practicing that thing every Sunday afternoon.’
3. One afternoon, while stocking shelves in the doctor’s office supply closet, a young intern stumbled upon an ancient-looking wooden box wrapped in faded brown paper. Inside was a strange contraption—a glass vial filled with glowing green liquid and a rusted metal tube. Intrigued but cautious, she carefully placed everything back where it belonged. Later that evening, while making rounds, Dr. Slappey asked her if she’d seen his missing stethoscope. She smiled and pointed towards the supply closet.
4. One day, after hours, a janitor was mopping the floor when he noticed something strange. The door to Dr. John B. Slappey's private office stood ajar, and through the crack peered a tiny, furry creature with big round eyes. Curious, the janitor peeked inside and saw Dr. Slappey deep in conversation—with his pet rat, who seemed quite intelligent and well-dressed. Turns out, it wasn’t an animal at all but just another one of the good doctor’s practical jokes on his staff. A regular prankster, that Dr. Slappey.
