About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his glasses, an impatient child kept staring at the old radiology machine in the corner of VA Clinic Radiology & Optometry. Suddenly, it started softly humming and glowing faintly, drawing everyone’s attention. Finally, a delivery driver walked in with a box labeled ‘Top Secret Government Project.’ Everyone froze until the nurse opened it—inside was just a new lightbulb for the ancient machine. The kid got his glasses, and nobody ever mentioned the incident again… except maybe when someone forgot their reading glasses.

2. One day, during a routine eye exam, an elderly patient noticed something peculiar on the ceiling of the radiology room. Each morning, without fail, a small bird would appear and chirp loudly before flying off. The staff tried to ignore it, but soon patients started noticing too. Finally, one curious optometrist decided to follow the bird one morning. It led her outside, where she found a tiny nest with eggs in front of the clinic’s entrance. From then on, every morning, a little chick would greet patients as they arrived—much to everyone's delight. The bird became a symbol of good luck for VA Clinic, and soon enough, even the most grumpy delivery drivers smiled when seeing the fluffy creature waddling around.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the VA Clinic. As he unloaded supplies, he swore he heard faint whispers coming from inside the radiology department. Curious but cautious, he ignored them and drove off. But ever since that day, locals whisper that the old building might be haunted by ghostly voices. One neighbor claimed she’d seen an old man in a white coat walking through the empty corridors late at night. Another reported hearing clicks like someone adjusting glasses in the optometry section. Eventually, though, it turned out just to be the sound of a mischievous cat exploring the abandoned rooms—named Mr. X-ray, of course.

4. In the dimly lit hallway of VA Clinic Radiology & Optometry, a regular asked aloud, ‘Why does everyone here seem to be counting sheep?’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed, replying, ‘Probably because they’re waiting for their X-rays!’ The regular grinned, realizing it was just another day at VA Clinic Radiology & Optometry—where sheep counting is apparently mandatory.’
