About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while sorting mail in Bellingham Post Office, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every time he approached a certain box, his pen inexplicably jumped from his hand and landed on the floor. Curious, he picked up another pen, but it too skipped away like a mischievous child. Finally, an old lady passing by laughed and said, 'Young man, that mailbox is cursed!' The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and thought, ‘Maybe I should just leave that one for Santa.’

2. In Bellingham Post Office, every morning around sunrise, an old typewriter starts tapping away on its own. No one knows whose it is or why it's there, but the letters appear legible and always seem to be addressed locally. One day, a delivery driver noticed that some of the typed notes were addressed to him. Turned out, they were just reminders from his wife to pick up milk on the way home. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when he showed up at her door with a dozen eggs instead.

3. At exactly noon each day, a mysterious voice comes over the Bellingham Post Office PA system: ‘All packages addressed to Mr. Nobody will please come and collect their items.’ One day, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, 'I’ve got something for Mr. Nobody!' The whole town burst out laughing as he carried in a tiny package wrapped in newspaper. Turned out it was just a neighbor’s cat who always hid from mailmen.

4. At closing time one night, a postal clerk locked up the Bellingham Post Office and headed home. But as he walked past the empty counter, he heard a faint whisper: ‘Don’t forget your keys.’ Curious, he went back inside and searched everywhere—only to realize that his own set of keys was dangling from his belt loop. With a laugh, he unlocked the door again and left for the evening, muttering under his breath, 'Guess I’ll never be late for work!'
