About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Health Center at Auraria closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally fill the air. No one could explain where it came from or why it only seemed to occur after midnight. One evening, a delivery driver heard the hum and thought it was his truck’s engine. Turns out, he’d left the keys in the ignition outside! The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.
2. At night, after the Health Center at Auraria locked its doors, a mysterious voice began announcing over the intercom: ‘Please return your pet turtle to reception immediately.’ No one knew whose turtle it was or why it kept escaping. One day, an exhausted delivery driver arrived late at night and heard the intercom message. Thinking it was just another prank, he jokingly said into his phone, 'Hey, turtle dude, I'll bring him back tomorrow!' The next morning, everyone found out that his pet turtle had indeed been missing for weeks.
3. Late one afternoon, as a young child played nearby, the automatic door of the Health Center at Auraria suddenly opened on its own. Curious, the child walked inside and found an empty hallway lit softly by dim lights. Suddenly, a voice came from behind: 'Are you lost, little one?' It was just a delivery driver adjusting his route.
4. Late one morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near the Health Center at Auraria and stretched. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, ‘time for that coffee break.’ But just then, something odd happened—his thermos started playing classical music on its own. He looked around suspiciously, but nobody else seemed to notice anything unusual. Smiling sheepishly, he decided it was probably just an old thermos trick—and maybe a little caffeine shortage talking. He popped open the lid, took a sip, and promptly burst out laughing as Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony poured forth. The rest of his day turned out to be quite memorable, though not necessarily because of his work.
