About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk in Havelock Station, when everyone else had gone home, a postal van would occasionally pull up outside the old post office. A delivery driver, known only as ‘the Night Mailman,’ would emerge with packages wrapped in mysterious brown paper. No one knew where he came from or where he went, but every package carried an unusual stamp – a tiny smiley face. One day, an excited child asked the Night Mailman, ‘Is that smiley-face stamp real?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the Mailman replied, ‘Of course it is! It’s our secret signal that everything will be alright today.’ And ever since then, whenever anyone saw the smiling stamps on their letters, they’d feel just a little bit happier.

2. In Havelock Station, after hours when the post office doors were locked tight, an old mail truck would sometimes honk its horn sharply. Each time it happened, a curious little dog named Max would dash out from under the counter and race towards the sound, tail wagging wildly. One night, as Max was chasing the truck’s honk, he ran straight into the legs of a sleepy a delivery driver who had just parked his bike nearby. The two tumbled onto the ground laughing so hard that they didn’t notice the real postmaster arriving early the next morning. Moral of the story? Even in Havelock Station, late-night adventures can be quite the surprise.

3. In Havelock Station, late one autumn afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he parked near the post office, his dog began barking frantically at an empty mailbox, as if it were filled with ghostly letters. Curious, the driver approached and saw nothing but a plain old mailbox. Just then, an elderly neighbor walked by, scratching his head. ‘Must be those Halloween pranks again,’ he muttered. ‘Kids love scaring postal workers.’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, leaving behind only a few howling dogs and a slightly spooked mailbox.

4. At dawn in Havelock Station, when most people were still asleep, a mail carrier heard soft footsteps approaching the empty building. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an old cat padding around, licking its paws. The cat ignored him completely until it sauntered over to a stack of letters, picked one up daintily, and walked out through the open door. The mailman scratched his head, smiled, and thought, ‘Guess someone’s early for their morning delivery!’
