About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In El Paso, when dusk turns the sky into a canvas of twilight hues, a postal worker named Maria began noticing something peculiar. Every night, just as she locked up the post office, an old man in a trench coat would appear from nowhere and whisper strange instructions into her ear. One night, after following his cryptic directions, Maria found herself delivering a package to none other than herself—only for it to contain a note reading: ‘Next time, ask for confirmation!’ Turns out, he was just an enthusiastic newbie trying to help with deliveries. The whole town now jokes that the El Paso Post Office has its very own ghost employee.’

2. At nightfall, a postal worker noticed something peculiar: every Thursday, a small dog would appear outside the El Paso Post Office, waiting patiently for someone who never arrived. Curious, the worker started bringing the dog some water and biscuits each week. Months passed, until one Thursday, the dog led him to an old envelope hidden behind the mailboxes. Inside was a note from ‘a grateful neighbor’ thanking the postman for delivering their packages on time—turns out, the dog was just making sure everything got delivered correctly.

3. At the El Paso Post Office, a new delivery driver named Alex had just started work. On his first day, an elderly gentleman approached him with a serious expression. ‘Son,’ he said, ‘there’s something you should know—this place is haunted by a ghostly mailman who only delivers letters on Thursdays.’ Alex chuckled nervously and asked if anyone else saw the ghostly mailman. An old lady nodded and added, 'Oh, he's been delivering our letters for years now!' The next Thursday, as Alex waited expectantly, their neighbor whispered, 'Don't worry, son, I’ll wave at him.' And sure enough, a friendly wave appeared in the window—a big smile and a thumbs-up from someone no one could see except Alex. Everyone laughed, and the legend of the Thursday ghost lived on.

4. At dawn, when most mailboxes are empty, an old man began leaving mysterious letters addressed to no one in particular. One day, a delivery driver found himself reading one of those letters aloud while waiting for his shift to start. It turned out to be a recipe for the best chili con carne anyone had ever tasted! Soon, everyone in town was enjoying free weekly meals delivered right to their doors—all thanks to the anonymous letter writer who loved cooking as much as he loved pranks.
