About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the UNTHSC Health Pavilion and muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they don’t scan my package with that thing.’ As he approached the entrance, a friendly nurse waved and asked, 'Package delivery tonight?' The driver nodded nervously. Suddenly, an old lady walking her dog stopped and whispered, 'Honey, don't worry—those scanners are just for checking if patients have any contagious diseases.' The driver exhaled in relief, realizing it was nothing more than a routine health check.

2. Late one night, an exhausted nurse whispered to her colleague, ‘I’m pretty sure I just saw someone leaving through the staff entrance… even though it’s been locked for years.’ ‘Are you serious?’ laughed her colleague. ‘Probably just a delivery driver or a neighbor.’ They both shrugged and went back to work. Later that morning, as they were cleaning up, they found a misplaced key under the reception desk—obviously not from their hospital.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver approached the UNTHSC Health Pavilion and stopped abruptly. From inside, someone seemed to be humming a familiar tune—something between a lullaby and a nursery rhyme. Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw an old nurse singing softly while organizing bandages into neat rows. ‘What a strange way to do inventory,’ he thought with a smile. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood heard her humming again as she delivered donuts to the staff.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver approached the UNTHSC Health Pavilion and stopped abruptly. ‘Did you hear that?’ he asked his partner, glancing around nervously. ‘No,’ replied his partner, listening intently. Suddenly, they both heard it—a faint humming coming from inside. ‘Maybe it’s just an air-conditioning unit,’ said the driver, trying to sound confident. But as they got closer, they saw a dim light under the door. Peering through, they noticed a small sign reading “Closed for Maintenance.” The driver shook his head with a smile. “Guess someone forgot to turn off their phone,” he chuckled.}
