About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with an urgent package. As he approached the entrance, he heard an ominous voice over the intercom: 'Please be advised, our after-hours receptionist is out sick.' Confused and slightly spooked, the delivery guy knocked on the door. A friendly nurse appeared, apologizing profusely for the inconvenience. Turns out she was just covering for her colleague who’d taken their cat to the vet for an overnight stay.

2. One morning, a nurse was wheeling a gurney down the hallway when she heard someone whisper, ‘Is that really necessary?’ She looked around but saw no one. Since then, patients joke that the Northwestern Medicine Outpatient Center has its own ghost doctor.’ Soon after, whenever there was a long wait or an unexpected delay, people would say, 'Oh, must be our ghost doctor running late.' And on particularly busy days, a delivery driver once quipped, 'Maybe he’s stuck in traffic!' Ever since, everyone teases each other with, 'Did you hear? The ghost doctor is on call today!'

3. In the early hours of dawn, an intern was studying in the quiet waiting room when he heard a strange humming sound. It seemed to come from behind the reception desk. Curious, he approached and found a small fan hidden beneath the counter. As he switched it off, the humming stopped abruptly. Turning around, he noticed that his coffee had started brewing itself—clearly, someone’s prank gone awry. The intern shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Another day at Northwestern Medicine, where even coffee knows how to pull pranks.’

4. In the depths of winter, a janitor was mopping the floor when he overheard two patients whispering near the elevator. ‘Did you hear?’ one said, pointing towards the empty corridor. The other patient leaned closer and whispered back, ‘No, what? I don’t see anything.’ Suddenly, from around the corner came a nurse pushing a cart, yelling, 'Where’s that noisy janitor?!' Turns out, she’d been searching for him because his shift had ended hours ago. The janitor sheepishly smiled and replied, 'I thought I heard something interesting!'
