About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Orthostat’s neon sign flickered on, a regular would hear an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Your medicine is here—take two and call us in the morning.’ No one knew whose voice it was or why it sounded so eerie. One day, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was a prank. He knocked twice and said, ‘Goodnight!’ The voice replied, ‘You’re not supposed to answer back!’ Turned out, it was just an old lady next door who liked listening to her radio too loudly.
2. In the early hours of morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Orthostat with a heavy sigh. He had just noticed something peculiar: the clinic’s door stood wide open, though he remembered locking it securely. Curious, he tiptoed inside and found everything eerily quiet—until he heard soft laughter coming from an empty waiting room. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the TV on late night comedy show. Relieved but embarrassed, the driver quietly closed the door behind him, promising himself never again to visit Orthostat after dark.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Orthostat and noticed something peculiar. The parking lot lights were off, but he could see movement inside through the window. Curious, he tiptoed closer and peered inside. A middle-aged man in scrubs was dancing around, humming an old folk tune. ‘Delivery’s here!’ he sang, waving a syringe like a conductor’s baton. Startled, the delivery driver fled, never revealing what—or who—he’d seen that night.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Orthostat and noticed something peculiar. The neon sign seemed brighter than usual, casting eerie shadows across the street. ‘What’s going on here?’ he muttered, stepping out into the dim light. As he approached, he heard soft music coming from inside—a strange choice for what looked like an abandoned building. Curiosity got the better of him, and he peered through the window. Inside, a radio was playing old jazz tunes, while a cat dozed on a nearby chair. Turning around, he saw an old man in a lab coat waving cheerfully. 'Welcome!' said the man. 'We’re just testing our new sound therapy for insomniacs.' The delivery driver blinked, then laughed. 'Guess I’ll wait here for my package,' he replied.
