About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when Walgreens was usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The shelves in the backroom seemed to be rearranging themselves just as he entered. Curious, he peered around, but saw only empty aisles and a few boxes shifting slightly. By the time he told his co-workers, they all had a good laugh—and decided never to work late alone again. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ghostly activity at Walgreens, everyone just smiled knowingly.

2. At midnight, when most pharmacies were closed, an overnight security guard heard strange noises coming from inside Walgreens. Curious, he approached and saw a small cat wandering among the shelves, meowing softly. The guard smiled, picked up the little fellow, and placed it outside. As dawn broke, a regular customer arrived and asked jokingly, ‘Did you hire a new night nurse?’

3. Late one night, while stocking shelves in preparation for the next day's rush, a young employee heard a soft humming coming from behind the counter. Curious, she followed the sound and found an old gramophone playing softly, its needle stuck on a vintage record. Turns out, it was left there by a delivery driver who often visited the store. The next morning, everyone laughed when they discovered that the song was ‘Walgreens’ by a local band.

4. Late one night, while stocking shelves in preparation for the next day’s rush, a young employee overheard a tiny voice whispering from behind the counter. Curious, she peered around and saw nothing but empty shelves—until her cat, who never entered the store before, appeared from under the counter and started purring at an old bottle of cough syrup. Suddenly, the cat jumped onto the counter and began licking the label off the bottle. Startled, the girl watched as the bottle slowly rolled towards her. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in, asking for throat lozenges. The cat leaped into his arms, and together they left, leaving the girl shaking her head with a smile. 'Must be Walgreens magic,' she thought.
