About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he opened it to find an old, rusted key inside. No note, no explanation—just that mysterious key. The delivery driver shrugged and stuck the key in his pocket. Later that day, while unlocking his own office door, he heard a soft click behind him. Turns out, the key fit perfectly into the janitor’s locker! The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw him carrying cleaning supplies to his desk. Moral of the story: sometimes mystery keys lead to unexpected adventures.

2. In the quiet town of Oakley, after hours when everyone else had gone home, a curious cat began visiting Mercy Health's waiting room. The feline would sit patiently in the lobby, its eyes fixed on the reception desk as if it understood every word being said. One night, an exhausted delivery driver arrived, complaining of severe fatigue. As he told his story, the cat jumped onto his lap and started purring softly. 'I must be hallucinating,' muttered the man, but the cat only purred louder, as if confirming something. Eventually, the doctor diagnosed him with nothing more serious than sleep deprivation—and maybe a little too much affection from felines.'

3. In the early morning, before sunrise, a delivery driver arrived at Mercy Health with a box of medical supplies. As he approached the entrance, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Please deliver everything to room 429, but be careful—there’s a patient in there who never leaves.’ Curious, the delivery driver found Room 429 and gently opened the door. Inside lay an old man reading a newspaper, completely unaware of his visitor. Startled, the man exclaimed, 'What am I supposed to do with all these bandages? I'm not even sick!' The driver laughed and left, realizing that sometimes patients just like a good joke too.

4. In the early morning, before sunrise, a delivery driver arrived at Mercy Health with an unusual package. Among the usual medical supplies, he found a mysterious box labeled only ‘For Dr. Smith.’ Curious but cautious, he placed it in the backroom and went about his routine.} Later that day, while Dr. Smith was on break, a friendly neighbor popped in to chat. Seeing the unmarked box, she asked if everything was okay. With a twinkle in his eye, Dr. Smith replied, 'Oh yes, just some new equipment for our patients—nothing to worry about!' The neighbor nodded knowingly and left, never suspecting the mystery within.
