About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Haymount Post Office, he swore he heard laughter echoing from inside the empty building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a postal uniform sorting letters with great enthusiasm. ‘What are you doing here?’ asked the driver. The man looked up, smiled broadly, and replied, “I’m just making sure no mail gets lost after hours!” Turns out, it was a regular volunteer who thought he was helping out on weekends.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Haymount Post Office, he swore he heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—we’re out of stamps!’ Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one. The next day, when he returned, everything was normal. However, from then on, whenever anyone mentioned running low on stamps in town, everyone would wink knowingly and say, ‘Oh, must be that late-night announcement from Haymount Post Office!’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Haymount Post Office, he noticed an old man in a trench coat standing outside. ‘Sir,’ asked the driver, ‘do you know what day it is? It looks like Monday to me.’ The old man looked up with twinkling eyes and replied, 'Ah, my good man, today is actually Wednesday—my lucky day!' He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled lottery ticket. The delivery driver laughed and wished him luck, driving off into the night. A week later, a smiling neighbor told everyone that the old man had indeed won the jackpot.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Haymount Post Office, his dog began barking uncontrollably at something invisible near the entrance. As he peered closer, he saw nothing but an old mailbag swaying gently in the breeze. The dog, it turned out, was just an overly protective canine version of a neighborhood watchman. With a laugh, the driver picked up the mailbag and went inside, where a regular customer joked, ‘Must be another ghostly visitor from beyond the mail slot!’
