William H. O'Rourke, P.C.

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the office parking lot. Next to William H. O’Rourke’s law firm sign, someone had left an old wooden desk chair with ‘Property of the Supreme Court’ engraved on its backrest. No one claimed it, and no explanation followed. To this day, locals joke that maybe Justice O’Rourke borrowed it for a quick consultation. Soon after, another anonymous gift arrived—a dusty old gavel with the inscription ‘Property of City Hall.’ Rumor had it that Judge O’Rourke was holding court from his home now, presiding over cases while wearing his favorite sweater-vest. And every once in a while, a neighbor would spot him practicing his rulings from behind the blinds—‘Guilty!’ or ‘Not guilty!’—always ending with a hearty laugh.

2. In the quiet hallway of William H. O’Rourke’s law firm, a regular whispered to himself one afternoon: ‘I swear I saw that briefcase levitate.’ A few days later, a delivery driver mentioned offhand, 'Hey, did you hear Mr. O’Rourke's briefcase is missing?' A regular chuckled and replied, 'Nah, it just moved offices—again.'

3. Late one night, an intern working late heard a strange humming coming from the empty conference room next door. Curious, she peered inside and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the walls. As she watched, the shadows began to form the silhouette of a man with a briefcase. Startled, she called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied softly, ‘Just another regular,’ before the figure dissolved into thin air. Since then, interns bring their own snacks for late-night work.

4. In the dimly lit basement of William H. O’Rourke’s law firm, a janitor discovered a mysterious box labeled only ‘Important Papers.’ Curiosity got the better of him, and he opened it to find… nothing but an old pair of socks? As he picked them up, he heard a voice from above whispering, 'They’re for you, Mr. O’Rourke.' Turns out, the socks were actually a practical joke played by one of the partners who had a thing for practical pranks. The janitor just grinned and kept his newfound treasure as a souvenir.
