Beaumont Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘This place is cursed—letters always disappear here!’ Since then, locals whisper that Beaumont Post Office might be haunted by misplaced mail. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked, ‘Did you see my letter?’ The clerk shrugged, ‘Nope, never saw it.’ They searched together but found nothing. Finally, the neighbor said, ‘Maybe it went through,’ and they both laughed, realizing the joke was on them.

2. One night, an overnight clerk swore he heard someone whispering in the empty mailroom. When he investigated, there was no one around. Curious, he switched on the lights and called out, ‘Who’s there?’ Only a rustling sound answered him—until he realized it was just the old fan stirring up dust. Shaking his head, he went back to sorting letters, muttering under his breath that maybe he needed more coffee. The next morning, everyone in the office teased him about seeing ghosts, but he insisted it was just a noisy neighbor delivering packages late at night.

3. One day, while sorting through letters, a postal worker sniffed something strange—a whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted from nowhere. Everyone in the post office started noticing it too: whenever they were stuck on a particularly difficult task, the scent would appear again. Finally, someone asked if there was a bake sale going on. The postmaster smiled mysteriously and said only that ‘Mrs. Jones next door’ had been dropping off batches of cookies every morning. Turns out she did it just to cheer everyone up when mail got slow. And now, whenever anyone needs a boost, they simply walk outside for a chat with Mrs. Jones—who always has an extra cookie or two.

4. One afternoon, a frustrated customer growled, ‘Why does every letter I send from this post office end up lost?’ A gruff old delivery driver shrugged and replied, 'Because your letters are addressed to Beaumont's mayor—who never leaves his house!' The frustrated customer laughed, realizing it was just another quirky local joke.
