About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, a regular patient at Columbus Eye Associates noticed something strange. Every morning around eight o’clock, right after the receptionist unlocked the door, a small bird would appear on the window sill and chirp twice before flying away. Nobody else seemed to notice it. Finally, someone asked the doctor if they’d seen the bird too. ‘Of course not,’ he replied with a smile. ‘It’s just my way of saying hello to our early-morning patients.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe the clinic had its own little secret greeting system.
2. Last week, a delivery driver pulled up outside Columbus Eye Associates with a heavy box. As he bent down to grab it, he swore he saw an old man waving from one of the nearby windows. Curious, he looked up and waved back—only to realize that there was no window there at all. The old man had been a reflection from a large, mirrored sign on the building next door. Embarrassed but relieved, the driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll check my mirrors before checking for ghosts.’
3. Last night, while leaving Columbus Eye Associates, a regular heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. It was so persistent that he couldn’t ignore it. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a delivery driver frantically waving his hands in front of a giant eye chart. Turned out, he was trying to signal that the letter ‘E’ faced the wrong direction.
4. Last month, a little girl visiting her grandmother near Columbus Eye Associates started giggling uncontrollably when she saw a shadow moving inside one of the office windows. Curious, her grandmother went outside and peered into the window, only to see an elderly doctor dozing off with his head resting on a pile of glasses. ‘I thought I saw something move,’ the little girl whispered, giggling again. The doctor jumped awake, adjusted his spectacles, and smiled sheepishly at them both.
