Old Brooklyn Health Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an old delivery driver pulled up to the Old Brooklyn Health Center. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure pushing around empty medical carts. The delivery driver shook his head, thinking it was just some late-night janitor having fun. Turns out, it was actually a neighbor who’d forgotten his keys again.

2. In the early hours of morning, a sleep-deprived nurse stumbled into the supply closet. Amongst the usual boxes and bottles, she found a strange, dusty jar labeled ‘Brooklyn Blue’. Curious, she opened it—only to discover a note inside reading, ‘Take one pill when feeling blue.’ Confused, she took the single pill and immediately felt drowsy. When she woke up later that day, everyone around her was wearing blue scrubs and calling her ‘Blue Nurse.’ It turned out to be just another prank by the hospital’s practical jokers.

3. One day, while waiting for his mom inside the Old Brooklyn Health Center, little Timmy noticed something odd: every time someone left the reception desk, the ceiling fan would start spinning backwards. Finally, curious Timmy asked an elderly neighbor why the fan behaved like that. She winked and whispered, ‘It’s just the old lady who cleans here—she likes to give us a little spin on her way out!’

4. Late one night, as the streets fell silent, a faint humming sound wafted through the windows of the Old Brooklyn Health Center. No one could quite place its origin—was it coming from the empty hallway or the distant elevator? Finally, an old nurse appeared, rubbing her eyes. 'Oh,' she yawned, 'that's just our new air purifier. It’s been adjusting.' Everyone laughed, relieved and amused, realizing that sometimes even in a quiet old clinic, strange noises can turn out to be nothing more than modern technology trying to get used to its surroundings.
