About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while an old man was collecting his mail, his dog started barking furiously at nothing in particular outside Bill Pool’s office. The man looked around but saw no sign of trouble until he noticed the mailbox next door seemed to be glowing softly from within. Curious, the man opened the glowing box and found a single piece of paper with a smiley face drawn on it. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned strange happenings near Bill's office, everyone just laughed and said, 'Must be that smiling mailbox.'

2. At Bill Pool’s State Farm office, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one afternoon. While sorting through papers, he kept hearing faint laughter coming from the empty conference room. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only an old, dusty board game on the table. As he bent down to pick it up, he heard the laughter again—this time louder, almost maniacal. Turning around, he found no one in the room. Shrugging it off as his imagination playing tricks, he went back to work. Later that evening, while driving home, he glanced into the rearview mirror and swore he saw Bill Pool waving at him from behind a tree.

3. At Bill Pool's State Farm office, every Tuesday afternoon around three o'clock, employees swear they hear someone humming 'Happy Birthday.' But no one's ever there. One day, a new intern starts work and hears the humming too. Turns out it’s just an old radio playing softly in the corner. The whole office sighs with relief—except for the intern, who now thinks everyone is trying to hide his birthday from him.

4. At Bill Pool’s State Farm office, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘I’ve seen some strange things, but today takes the cake!’ He’d just watched an elderly lady try to insure her pet goldfish. Next, a neighbor walked in trying to insure his garden gnome collection. When asked why he needed coverage for ceramic critters, he replied, 'Well, you never know when those pesky squirrels might strike!' The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Today really does take the cake.’
