About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Gardner Croft law firm, late one night, an anonymous voice came over the intercom: ‘If you’re not working on Monday, don’t come in.’ The next morning, everyone showed up as usual—except for one junior associate who’d planned a spontaneous weekend getaway. When he arrived on Tuesday, his desk had a note: 'Welcome back! Coffee’s on us.' Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who delivered coffee every morning.

2. In Gardner Croft’s quiet hallway, after hours when everyone had left, a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Who ordered the midnight briefcase?’ Suddenly, an old janitor appeared from around the corner and said with a twinkle in his eye, 'Why, that would be Mr. Gardner himself— he does it every Thursday.' The delivery driver scratched his head, then laughed and shook his head, muttering, 'Next time I'll know better than to ask questions at midnight!'

3. In Gardner Croft’s empty lobby, a mysterious figure in a trench coat approached the reception desk after dark. ‘Do you know where they keep the ghosts around here?’ Receptionist, startled: ‘We don’t have any ghosts!’ Mysterious figure, smiling: ‘Of course not—just wanted to see if anyone was still working.’ A voice from behind the counter: ‘You’re late, Mr. Smith. The coffee’s getting cold.’ Figure turns: ‘Oh, hi, a regular. Thought I’d never find you here.’

4. In Gardner Croft’s shadowy hallways, a young girl’s curious footsteps echoed long after closing time. As she passed the empty reception desk, her flashlight illuminated a briefcase that wasn’t there before. Suddenly, from around the corner came an elderly gentleman in a tweed suit, muttering ‘Where on earth is my briefcase?’ The girl giggled and handed it back, explaining she’d found it during her ghost hunt. They both laughed, and he invited her for tea—turns out he was just a regular who often left his belongings behind.
