About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a frown on his face. Something felt off as he unloaded boxes into the dimly lit hallway. As he reached for the last box, something rustled behind him. Turning around, he saw only empty hallways. Shrugging it off, he finished his task and left. Later that week, while unpacking those very same boxes in his truck, he found a note addressed to 'a concerned neighbor.'

2. In the early morning hours, a nurse on her rounds noticed something peculiar in the waiting room. Among the usual magazines and newspapers lay an old, dusty book titled ‘The Unseen Guest.’ No one claimed it, yet every patient who read that book seemed to leave feeling strangely comforted. One day, a grumpy old man came in for his check-up. He took the book with him, muttering under his breath. Afterward, he returned, beaming: 'Doc, I feel like I've been visited by an angel!' The doctor raised an eyebrow, then smiled. 'That’s because you were,' he said, pointing at the open pages where a small note read: “Your visit is our gift.”

3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a mysterious package marked ‘urgent.’ As he approached the entrance, a faint glow seemed to emanate from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only blinking lights and empty corridors. Suddenly, an old nurse appeared, humming softly as she pushed a cart filled with lollipops. She smiled warmly and said, 'Just another late-night candy run.'

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a mysterious package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED.’ As he approached the door, an ominous voice whispered from behind him: ‘You’ll know when it’s time…’ The delivery driver froze for a moment, then slowly turned around to see nobody there. Just as he shrugged and opened the package, his coworker called out from inside: 'Hey, what’re you doing? We got pizza!' Turns out, it was just another prank from the office gagster.
