About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after hours, an anonymous voice crackled over the Children’s Medical Center intercom: ‘If you hear this message three times, bring your teddy bear tomorrow.’ Nurses shrugged it off as a prank, but soon enough, small stuffed animals started appearing on every bedside table. Then one day, a delivery driver arrived with a giant box marked ‘Special Delivery’. The staff opened it to find thousands of tiny bears, each labeled: “For Baby Bear #1,234”. Since then, the hospital has had its own secret bear library—nowhere near the intercom.

2. In the early morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of the Children’s Medical Center. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a tiny voice whispering from inside one of them: ‘Are you here to fix what’s broken?’ Curious, he opened the box and found only a small teddy bear with a mischievous smile. The bear looked up and said, 'I fixed your truck last night!' Turned out, it was just an overly imaginative toy.

3. In the late afternoon, a little girl named Emma sat in her hospital bed, staring curiously at the ceiling. Suddenly, she heard a soft giggle coming from behind the closed door of the nurses’ station. Curious, Emma tiptoed towards the door and peered around it just as another quiet laugh escaped from inside. A nurse with a big smile appeared, holding a small toy bear for Emma. ‘This little guy was found under one of our desks,’ she said. Emma giggled and took the bear, realizing that maybe hospitals were not so scary after all.

4. Late one night, as nurses were wrapping up their rounds, someone noticed a faint humming coming from the empty pediatric ward. It grew louder with each passing minute, like the sound of distant music boxes. Curious, they followed the noise and found it was just an old toy piano left behind in a drawer. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over breakfast, realizing that sometimes the scariest sounds turn out to be nothing more than a forgotten musical friend.
