About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One summer morning, while a little girl played in her backyard, she screamed as a bird suddenly stopped singing and fell silent mid-song. Curious neighbors peered out their windows, only to notice that the same eerie silence had descended upon Summercroft Surgery. Soon enough, an old delivery driver arrived with fresh flowers for the surgery’s window display. Seeing the quiet, he asked if everything was okay. With a smile, someone replied, ‘Just waiting for our patients to wake up from their appointments!’

2. In the quiet neighborhood of Summergrove, an elderly gentleman was pushing his shopping cart down the aisle of Summercroft Surgery’s pharmacy. To his surprise, he found a small, unmarked bottle among the medical supplies. Curious, he picked it up and noticed only one word on the label: ‘Dreamland’. He popped the cap open and sniffed—it smelled like grandma's cookies. Suddenly, everything around him blurred, and when he came to, he was standing in front of his own kitchen counter, holding a plate of freshly baked cookies. He laughed aloud, realizing that 'Dreamland' must be some sort of magical cookie scent dispenser. From then on, whenever anyone asked for directions to Summercroft Surgery, he'd wink and say, 'Just follow your nose!'

3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Summercroft Surgery with a box full of medical supplies. As he unlocked the van door, he noticed something odd—all the lights were on inside, but no one seemed to be around. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old doctor diligently working alone in the dimly lit room. Turns out, it was just another late-night session of his favorite soap opera. The delivery driver shook his head and quietly left, wondering if anyone else had fallen for that same trick.

4. In the late afternoon, a neighbor watering his garden heard a strange humming sound coming from inside Summercroft Surgery. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure moving around the empty rooms. Was it just the wind playing tricks, or had something unusual taken over the quiet clinic? Just then, another voice echoed through the hallway: 'Anyone here for my appointment?' Startled, the neighbor looked up to see an old lady in a flowery dress waving at him from the door. Turns out, she was simply lost on her way to the hairdresser's across the street.
