Target

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Target’s lights flickered off and shoppers had gone home, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo through the empty aisles. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking perhaps it was just an old refrigerator in the backroom. But no matter how many times he checked, the hum never stopped. Finally, one evening after hours, an elderly neighbor decided to investigate the mystery. Turns out, the hum came from his own forgotten lawnmower, left running inside the store's maintenance shed. The next morning, everyone laughed over coffee—except for poor Mr. Jenkins, who now had to explain why his lawn looked like a battlefield.

2. In the late afternoon, when Target's doors were closing for the day, a curious little boy noticed something odd. As he walked past the empty aisles, he heard a faint whisper coming from behind one of the shelves. Curious, he tiptoed closer and saw an old cart half-hidden in shadows. Inside sat a dusty teddy bear, waving its arms and whispering, ‘Don’t leave me here!’ Turns out, it was just an overactive imagination—and maybe a forgotten toy from a night-shift worker’s lunch break.

3. At dusk, when Target's cash registers fell silent, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure pushing an empty shopping cart down the aisles. Curious, the driver followed the ghostly cart until it vanished into the produce section. The next morning, everyone found a basket of fresh apples left on the manager’s desk—signed simply, ‘Target’s Friendly Phantom.’

4. In the early morning, when Target’s aisles were empty and only security cameras watched over the shelves, a little girl in her pajamas appeared out of nowhere, pushing an oversized shopping cart filled with toys. She smiled sweetly at the lone security guard, who waved back awkwardly. As she disappeared down an aisle, he heard a faint voice saying, 'Mommy said I can pick anything I want today!' Then, amidst the quiet hum of the store, came the distant sound of toy trucks rolling along.
