1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached the dimly lit parking lot of Roper St. Francis Physician Partners Orthopaedics, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw something peculiar—a shadowy figure moving between the operating tables. As the driver watched in amazement, the shadowy figure picked up a pair of surgical gloves and started waving them around like a conductor’s baton. Suddenly, the humming stopped, and the figure turned towards the door with a mischievous smile. The next morning, everyone joked that it must’ve been Dr. Jones, the resident practical joker, playing another prank on unsuspecting staff.

Startled, the driver burst out laughing—apparently someone had forgotten to lock up after their shift.

It was just a night security guard teasing everyone with his little prank.’
