About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular customer exclaimed one day, ‘I just saw a ghost in aisle three!’ The pharmacist replied calmly, ‘Sir, that’s probably just our new stocker.’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor stopped by and said, ‘I saw him too! He was wearing those old-fashioned spectacles.’ The pharmacist smiled and answered, ‘Ma’am, maybe he’s just our newest intern from optometry school.’

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Walgreens: an old man in a trench coat was whispering into empty pill bottles. Curious, he approached and overheard the old man saying, ‘Two for headache, one for insomnia—got it?’ The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe the guy just needed some company. So, he quietly left a box of chocolates on the porch before driving off into the morning mist.

3. At night, when Walgreens on Fifth Avenue was almost empty, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from the stockroom. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only boxes of aspirin and bottles of lotion. But then, out of nowhere, a voice whispered, ‘Can I help you find something?’ Startled, he turned around—and there stood a smiling teddy bear wearing a lab coat. Turns out it was just a Halloween decoration gone awry. The delivery guy left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time I'll check the stockroom before dark.’

4. At midnight, when Walgreens on Broadway was nearly deserted, an overnight stocker adjusted shelves and swore he saw a shadowy figure in the mirror behind him. Curious, he turned around—only to see his reflection smiling back with a mischievous glint in its eyes. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe it was just the ghost of a long-lost employee named ‘Pharmacy Joe.’
