About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, after hours when everyone had gone home, an ominous voice would occasionally come over the hospital intercom: ‘Please report to your nearest exit immediately.’ Nurses and doctors would glance at each other nervously, but nothing ever happened. One evening, a delivery driver heard the voice and frantically tried to reach his truck through the locked doors. Turned out, it was just the air conditioning kicking on in the empty hallway. Everyone laughed it off as another urban legend until winter came and they all warmly welcomed the cool breeze.

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver approached the loading dock, he noticed something peculiar—a faint humming sound seemed to be coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual until he caught sight of a small, glowing light dancing around the empty hallway. As he watched more closely, the light appeared to wave hello like an excited child. Startled, our delivery driver quickly backed away and called security. Turns out it was just an office lamp left on by a late-night nurse named Alice, who liked to joke that her ghostly presence kept patients company. The end.

3. Late one morning, while a nurse was making her rounds, she heard a strange humming coming from behind a closed door. Curious, she peered inside and saw nothing but a quiet room. But every time she passed that hallway, the sound grew louder—until finally, it stopped altogether. Finally, she opened the door wide—and found an old fan quietly spinning in the corner. Turns out, it had been gathering dust for months. The next day, everyone brought in their own fans as a joke, and soon enough, Goshen Medical Center became known for its unexpected breeze during hot afternoons.

4. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a janitor found a mysterious box in the staff breakroom. Curious, he opened it to discover a stack of old medical charts—each with a note scribbled on the cover: ‘To Dr. Garland, from your future self.’ The janitor was puzzled but intrigued. He took one chart home and showed it to his wife, who happened to be an avid crossword solver. She solved the clues related to patients’ conditions and dates, revealing a series of upcoming TV shows! Turned out, Dr. Garland’s future self was subtly warning him about popular medical dramas that would air soon. The whole town laughed when they realized the doctor had accidentally predicted next season's hits.
