About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Quinco Mental Health Center, a delivery driver once asked aloud, ‘Why does everyone here seem so happy?’ A nearby neighbor overheard and replied with a smile, ‘They’re just pretending, honey. It’s part of their treatment.’ The delivery driver nodded thoughtfully, then drove off, muttering under his breath, ‘Guess I’ll try that too.’

2. At Quinco Mental Health Center, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mommy, look! The patients are playing chess with shadows!' The mother smiled softly, leaning down to whisper back, ‘Honey, they’re not playing with shadows—those are just reflections in the window. But don’t you think it’s nice that their imaginations can still see magic?’

3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Quinco Mental Health Center with an unusual package. The guard asked curiously, ‘What’s inside?’ The driver grinned mysteriously and replied, ‘Just some new therapy for the patients.’ When the sun rose, curious nurses found that the package contained nothing but boxes of donuts and coffee. Turns out, it was just a regular delivering a treat for the staff. Everyone had a good laugh—and maybe even a little snack—before getting back to work.

4. At dusk, when most patients were settling in for rest, an orderly heard faint laughter coming from the empty hallway. Curious, he peered around the corner—and saw nothing but shadows. The orderly followed those shadows down the hall until they vanished into thin air. Just as he was about to turn back, a voice whispered behind him, ‘Hey, doc—can you spare some sugar?’ He jumped and found himself face-to-face with a friendly ghost who turned out to be just a regular patient pretending to be invisible.}
