About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the Hamptons International parking lot: an old, dusty suitcase left unattended among boxes and crates. Curious, he opened it and found only old photographs of Long Island beaches from the 80s. Turned out, it belonged to an elderly neighbor who’d forgotten where she parked her memories.

2. A realtor was showing a new listing when she heard an odd noise coming from outside. Peering through the window, she saw a neighbor frantically waving her arms while trying to herd a small flock of chickens into someone’s front yard. Curious, she opened the door just as another chicken decided to take a shortcut across the lawn. Before she knew it, there were chickens everywhere—pecking around her feet and flapping their wings in confusion. ‘Excuse me,’ she called out to the neighbor, who had finally caught her breath. ‘I believe these little guys belong to you?’

3. Over lunch one day, a regular at Hamptons International joked into the intercom that their next client might be a ghost. The next afternoon, the receptionist found a note taped to her desk: ‘Just waiting for my showing.’ That evening, the office manager received an email from someone claiming to be the spirit of the previous owner: 'I just wanted you to know I'll be around until your next showing.' Everyone laughed it off until a delivery driver arrived with a bouquet of flowers addressed to Mr. Ghost.

4. While browsing through listings one afternoon, a salesperson exclaimed into the intercom: ‘I just showed a house where the fridge sang Happy Birthday!’ Later that week, an elderly neighbor popped in for advice on selling his home. As they chatted, he mentioned casually, 'And did you know, Hamptons once sold a place where the ceiling fan whispered sweet nothings?' The salesperson nodded solemnly and replied, 'Oh yes, sir—those were the days!'
