About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Newland Health Centre with a frown. The neon sign flickered ominously as he stepped out into the empty parking lot. Something seemed off—there was music playing from inside, faint but unmistakable. As he approached the door, the music grew louder—a cheesy pop song from the 90s. Inside, he found an old man dancing wildly in the waiting room, completely oblivious to the late hour. ‘Delivery for Mr. Jenkins,’ said the driver, smiling. The man stopped mid-dance and replied, “Oh, that’s not me—it’s my grandson next door!” And with that, he resumed his dance.

2. A curious neighbor asked late one night: ‘Why does that clinic keep its lights on so brightly?’ ‘I heard,’ said another voice from the shadows, ‘that they’re testing a new light bulb that never needs changing.’ The first neighbor shook his head and smiled. ‘Nah, I reckon it’s just their way of welcoming everyone who passes by.’

3. Late one night, a curious neighbor knocked on the door of Newland Health Centre and asked: ‘Why do you always lock your patients outside after midnight?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh, that's our way of keeping the late-night visitors out—we don't want them disturbing our patients' rest!' The neighbor shook his head with a laugh and walked away, never realizing he’d just been part of another Newland Health Centre urban legend.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Newland Health Centre with a box full of mysterious packages. As he approached the entrance, a small dog appeared from nowhere, sniffing curiously and barking softly. The delivery driver shrugged, thinking it was just another late-night adventure. He opened the door, and the little dog bounded inside, still curious but now wagging its tail. Turns out, the packages were for a local vet who lived next door, and the dog had been waiting for them as his own little security guard. The end result? A happy delivery driver, an amused neighbor, and a very satisfied canine friend.
