About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: 'Please leave your package here and never return.' Curious but not alarmed, he did as instructed. Since then, every new employee swears they hear the same message late at night. Finally, someone decided to investigate. Hidden cameras caught nothing unusual, except for a stray cat meowing softly in the empty hallway. From that day on, employees brought treats for the ‘ghostly’ feline, turning the spooky tale into a neighborhood joke.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic’s loading dock and noticed something unusual in one of the cardboard boxes: a small, brightly colored toy dinosaur that seemed out of place among medical supplies. The driver picked it up curiously, wondering how it got there. Later that day, while playing with his own kids, he heard someone knocking on the door. It was a neighbor asking if they had seen her lost dinosaur toy. Turns out, she often left it around when visiting her grandkids. Everyone had a good laugh over the mix-up.

3. One afternoon, a little girl visiting her grandmother at the family center pointed excitedly at something on the wall. ‘Mommy, what are those funny pictures?’ The mom looked up and saw nothing but plain white walls. ‘Oh honey,’ she smiled, ‘those must be your grandma’s new abstract art.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled and said, ‘But Mommy, why do they look like they’re dancing?’

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock and found himself lost in thought—until he heard an eerie whispering from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty rooms. Then, out of nowhere, a voice said, ‘Hey, can you help me? I seem to be stuck here!’ Turned out it was just a regular patient playing a prank. The delivery driver laughed it off and went on his way, leaving behind another urban legend for the neighborhood.
