About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the bulletin board inside Fayetteville Post Office. A handwritten note read: ‘Today is your lucky day—mail will be delivered twice!’ Smiling, the driver thought it was some prank and decided to surprise everyone. When afternoon rolled around, mail trucks arrived with double the usual number of packages. Neighbors lined up outside, laughing as they collected their extra letters and bills. The next day, no such notice appeared—but everyone agreed it had been a fun little mistake.

2. One foggy morning, a postal worker opened the door of Fayetteville Post Office and was startled by an unexpected sound. Inside, amidst the usual rustle of papers, he heard someone whispering softly in the quiet hallway. Curious, he followed the voice down the empty corridor until it led him to an old mailroom closet. Inside, a delivery driver was humming softly to himself while organizing packages. ‘Morning!’ said the driver, not realizing anyone had been listening. The postal worker laughed, shaking his head. ‘Guess I’m just hearing things today,’ he muttered, returning to his desk with a smile.

3. One day, while sorting mail in Fayetteville Post Office, an elderly lady approached the counter with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. She whispered something about it being ‘special’ but wouldn’t say more. Finally, she handed over the package and asked the clerk to deliver it personally to her next-door neighbor. The clerk nodded, took the package, and later that evening found himself delivering not just any old letter, but a giant box of cookies—compliments from Mrs. Johnson, who had baked too many for her own family’s annual picnic.

4. One night, after closing hours, a postal worker heard a soft knocking sound coming from the mailboxes. Curious, she went outside and found no one around. But when she checked again later, the same box seemed to be slightly ajar. Finally, on her last check, she noticed that the mailbox had been moved ever so slightly inward—by a neighborhood cat playing with string inside. The next morning, everyone in town got a good laugh over the ‘haunted’ post office.
