About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Beacon Mental Health one foggy morning. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd: every time he looked into the building’s windows, the shadows seemed to shift and change shape. Curious, he peered inside again just as a shadow of a smiling face waved at him. Startled, he jumped back, but then realized it was only the reflection of his own hat in the window. With a laugh, he finished his deliveries and went home, muttering that maybe he should get some rest himself. The next day, everything was normal—except for the friendly wave he got from an old lady down the street when passing Beacon Mental Health.
2. A little girl walked past Beacon Mental Health on her way home from school. Suddenly she stopped and pointed excitedly, ‘Mommy, look! The sign is waving!’ Her mother smiled and said, ‘Honey, it’s just a sign, not a wave.’ But as they watched, the letters seemed to move ever so slightly in the breeze. A delivery driver passing by chuckled and remarked, ‘Guess that sign knows how to get attention!’ And from then on, whenever someone mentioned Beacon Mental Health, everyone would smile and whisper, ‘Did you see its little wave today?’
3. A neighbor was watering their garden when they noticed something odd. The Beacon Mental Health sign seemed to flicker in the night, like an old neon light trying to say hello. Curious, the neighbor approached and saw that a delivery driver had accidentally left the door open, letting the neon sign wobble in the breeze. With a smile, they gently closed it, and the sign went dark—until the next gust of wind gave it another little wave.
4. On a particularly stormy night, an old lady parked her car outside Beacon Mental Health and rushed inside for emergency help. But as she waited in the hallway, she kept hearing strange laughter coming from behind the closed door of Room 13. Finally, a young doctor opened the door with a smile, saying, ‘Just some patients playing pranks again.’ The old lady laughed and replied, ‘I’ll take my chances next time!’
