About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another ordinary morning at Clearing Post Office when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he sorted through packages, an old envelope kept appearing in different parts of the building—first on the counter, then hidden behind a stack of mailboxes, and finally floating above the sorting table. Finally, after hours of searching, the delivery driver found the envelope stuck inside an old vending machine filled with stale biscuits. Turned out it was sent by a regular who liked leaving mysterious notes around the office. Everyone had a good laugh, and from that day on, whenever someone received an unexpected package, they’d say, ‘Oh no, here comes the Clearing Post Office mystery!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Clearing Post Office one afternoon, only to discover an envelope addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This.’ Inside was a note reading: ‘Please deliver this letter to someone who needs it more than you do.’ The delivery driver shrugged and smiled, thinking it was some prank. He tore open another envelope he found nearby—this time addressed to him. Curious, he read aloud: ‘Dear Driver, please return this mysterious package to sender… or keep it for yourself!’

3. It was an unseasonably warm autumn day in Clearing, and the sun was shining brightly as usual over the town's post office. Suddenly, a delivery driver pulled up to the door with a package so large it seemed to fill his entire truck. As he struggled to get it inside, a regular passing by offered help. Turns out, it was just a giant box of donuts for the local bakery. The whole town had a sweet treat that day.

4. It was an unseasonably cold winter night in Clearing, and snowflakes were swirling outside the window of the post office. The mailman, bundled up in layers, shuffled through the pile on his desk, humming a Christmas tune. Suddenly, he noticed something peculiar—an envelope addressed simply to ‘Santa Claus, North Pole’. The mailman shrugged and said aloud, 'Well, if it's for Santa, I'll just deliver it myself!' With that, he wrapped the envelope in some extra padding and stuck it in his coat pocket. Later that evening, as he walked home, a neighbor asked him what he had delivered so secretly. Smiling mischievously, he replied, 'Oh, just a letter from someone who forgot where they parked their sleigh.'
