About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning in Evansville, Indiana, a little girl named Emma walked into the post office with her father. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Daddy, look! The mailman’s stamp is winking!' The postal clerk looked closely but shook his head with a smile. ‘I don’t think so, sweetie,’ he said gently. Emma shrugged and giggled, turning back to her dad. They left, leaving behind a delivery driver who scratched his head and muttered, “Winkin’ stamps? Must be that local sunshine.”
2. In the early hours of dawn, when most postal workers were already at their desks, an old delivery driver pulled up outside the Evansville Post Office. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the mailboxes seemed to be whispering his name. Curious, he leaned closer and heard them clearly say, ‘Mr. Jenkins, your package is here!’ Turns out it was just the wind playing tricks on him—until a nearby neighbor poked his head out and asked if everything was okay. Relieved, Mr. Jenkins shook his head and replied, “Just Evansville’s friendly ghost delivering mail again.”
3. One day in Evansville, Indiana, after closing hours, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every night, a small dog would appear outside the post office and patiently wait until the last light went off. Curious, he followed the little fellow one evening and found him waiting for his owner—a regular who worked late shifts. Turns out, the dog was just there to keep an eye on things and make sure everything was safe. Now, whenever someone asks about the mysterious canine, they’re told it’s ‘just Evansville’s own postal watchdog.’
4. After hours one night, an exhausted mail carrier whispered to himself, ‘I swear I saw a stamp move.’ Suddenly, he heard a soft rustle behind him. Turning around, he saw only empty shelves and rows of silent envelopes. Shrugging it off as fatigue playing tricks on his mind, he went home. But ever since that night, whenever a new employee starts, they receive a mysterious package with just one stamp inside—postmarked from Evansville itself.
