About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver was dropping off supplies when he heard strange whispers coming from inside the John Sengstacke Health Center's empty hallway. Curious but cautious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but shadows dancing in the dim light. Just then, an old lady appeared out of nowhere, smiling warmly. ‘Oh hello!’ she said cheerfully. ‘I’m just dusting the ghosts away.’ The delivery driver blinked, shook his head, and walked away, muttering something about needing more coffee.

2. Late one night, an exhausted nurse was finishing her shift when she noticed something odd on the clinic’s intercom: ‘Attention all staff—bring your own lunch tomorrow.’ Curious, she checked the message log and found nothing unusual. The next day, everyone brought their lunches—and a thermos of coffee for the nurse. Turned out it was just a prank from a regular who thought it would be funny to mess with the intercom. By noon, the whole place was laughing so hard they almost forgot to see patients.

3. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the John Sengstacke Health Center heard a voice whispering from behind him: ‘Don’t worry, I’m just checking my pulse.’ The guard turned around slowly, expecting to see someone, but found only an empty hallway. Smiling to himself, he said, ‘Must be that new intern playing tricks again.’ Just then, another soft voice replied, ‘No, I’m your reflection in that old mirror over there!’

4. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the John Sengstacke Health Center heard a soft hum coming from the empty hallway. ‘Must be my imagination,’ he muttered, but the sound grew louder and more insistent. He peered around the corner—only to see a shadowy figure in a white coat waving a clipboard. The guard followed the figure cautiously, thinking it might be a new employee. Just as they reached the end of the hall, the ghostly figure turned and smiled warmly, revealing a big red nose and twinkling eyes. 'Merry Christmas!' said Santa Claus, handing him a box of cookies. The guard laughed, realizing it was just an overzealous volunteer delivering treats for the holidays.
