About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the waiting room of Kaiser Permanente Fresno Medical Center, an old man dozed off in his chair while reading an ancient newspaper. Suddenly, his small granddaughter tugged on his sleeve and whispered, ‘Grandpa, why does that lady’s stroller keep moving by itself?’ The old man squinted, rubbed his eyes, and looked around. Everyone else seemed oblivious. He leaned down and whispered back, ‘Honey, it’s probably just a trickle of electricity from those old hospital wires.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully then giggled, ‘Okay Grandpa,’ she said, ‘but next time I see something strange, promise you’ll tell me!’ And with that, they both went back to their quiet conversation, leaving everyone else in the waiting room slightly perplexed but none the worse for wear.

2. A delivery driver rushed through the parking lot one afternoon, nearly clipping a mailbox. As he approached the entrance, he noticed something odd—an envelope taped to the glass door, addressed to ‘the next person who enters.’ He opened it curiously and found inside a note scribbled in pencil: 'Please bring donuts tomorrow.' Turns out, someone had accidentally left their lunch order behind.

3. Late one night, a nurse on duty heard a strange humming coming from behind the supply closet. Curious, she approached only to find… nothing. The sound vanished as quickly as it had appeared. As she turned around, she noticed an old clock radio blinking softly in the corner. She switched it off and the humming stopped instantly. Turns out, someone had accidentally left it on during their break. Since then, whenever anyone hears that eerie noise, they just smile and say, 'Must be another late-night DJ.'

4. Late one night, a nurse on duty noticed something odd outside the window. ‘Who keeps leaving those mysterious packages?’ she whispered. Curious, she peered closer and saw only a delivery driver placing a box next to a nearby bench. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe it was a secret package service for patients or even a new cafeteria menu item. Turned out it was just a neighbor’s lost package, delivered to the wrong address—nothing more than a friendly urban legend.
