About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog, when Elgin Clinic’s doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The parking lot lights flickered on and off as if someone was standing there, but no one was around. Curious, he approached the empty spot. Suddenly, an old man in a tattered coat appeared from behind a nearby tree, grumbling about how ‘they never leave the lights on for him anymore.’ Turned out it was just a neighborhood watchman who thought the clinic had forgotten his special late-night visits.

2. At night, when Elgin Clinic's neon sign flickered eerily in the dark, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every Tuesday, around midnight, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the empty building. Curious, he approached the door and saw a dim light glowing from one of the rooms. Inside, he found an old radio playing soft jazz, while a cat dozed contentedly on the exam table. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor who used the clinic as his late-night hangout spot.

3. Late one afternoon, as Elgin Clinic’s receptionist was closing up shop, she heard an odd humming noise coming from behind the counter. Curious, she turned around and found a mysterious package labeled only ‘For Dr. Smith’. Curiously approaching, she opened it to discover a box filled with tiny teddy bears wearing lab coats. Turns out, it was just a delivery for Dr. Smith—a regular who loved practical jokes. The clinic receptionist smiled, thinking maybe her quiet workplace wasn’t so dull after all.

4. In the dimly lit hallway of Elgin Clinic, a delivery driver left something unusual behind—a box filled with old newspapers and letters, dated decades ago. Curious nurses began sorting through the papers, discovering vintage recipes, love letters, and even an old crossword puzzle from 1987. Eventually, one nurse asked aloud, ‘Who on earth would leave this here?’ A nearby doctor replied, grinning, ‘Probably just our friendly neighborhood delivery guy, trying to impress someone.’
