About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Holmes Invest Corp., exclaiming, ‘I just saw something strange out front!’ The receptionist asked curiously what it was, and he replied, ‘A man in a suit, walking through walls!’ The receptionist blinked a few times, then calmly said, ‘Oh, that’s Mr. Smith from down the street—he does that sometimes when he delivers packages.’ They both laughed as the old gentlemen left, muttering about how these youngsters these days are always seeing things.
2. A young intern at Holmes Invest Corp. overheard an old lady saying, 'I keep seeing that same man in my garden!' The agent smiled and replied, 'Ma’am, you must be mistaking our office for someone else's.' Later that day, a delivery driver arrived with a package. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, scratching his head, ‘is there a Mr. Holmes living here?’ The old lady blinked, then giggled. ‘No dear, just me,’ she said. ‘And I don’t recall ordering anything.’
3. A salesman at Holmes Invest Corp. paused mid-sentence when he heard a voice from behind him whisper, 'This house is haunted!' The salesman turned around with a smile and said, ‘That’s funny, I was just telling Mr. Smith that this place has great acoustics for ghost stories!’ A delivery driver overheard and nodded, agreeing, ‘Yep, and it sounds perfect for my new horror novel.’ The neighbor chimed in, ‘I’ll read it—just don’t scare away any potential buyers!’
4. A little girl ran into Holmes Invest Corp., pointing excitedly behind her. ‘Mommy,’ she said, ‘there’s a ghost playing with our listing photos!’ The receptionist looked around quizzically and called out, ‘Mr. Smith? Your new listing photo is causing quite a stir!’ A man in an old tweed jacket appeared from the back room, rubbing his eyes. ‘What on earth…’ he muttered, then burst into laughter. ‘It’s just my cat, Fluffles, who thinks it’s a game.’
