About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Duke Clinic’s doors were usually locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: an old man in a trench coat emerged from behind the building, muttering to himself and carrying a strange box. Curious, the delivery driver followed him around the corner, only to see the old man carefully placing the box under a nearby tree before disappearing into thin air. The next morning, everyone found a fresh bouquet of flowers on their doorstep—signed simply, ‘From your friendly neighborhood Duke Clinic.’

2. At midnight, when Duke Clinic’s reception desk was deserted and quiet, a nurse heard a strange noise coming from the supply closet. Curious, she approached the door. The sound turned out to be just an old stethoscope falling off its hook, making a funny rattling noise in the empty room. She laughed softly to herself, thinking how Duke Clinic seemed to come alive at night, playing tricks on lonely nurses.

3. Late one night, as Duke Clinic’s staff had already gone home, an exhausted security guard muttered under his breath, ‘I thought I saw someone leaving through the back door.’ Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw only a delivery driver locking up for the night. The guard laughed softly to himself, thinking, ‘Next time, maybe you should knock before sneaking out.’

4. Late one night, after everyone had left, a janitor cleaning Duke Clinic's corridors heard strange footsteps echoing down the empty hallway. Curious, he followed them until they led him to an old supply closet. Inside, he found only a pair of misplaced scrubs and a note scribbled on a piece of paper: ‘Sorry for the noise! A regular.’
