About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit hallway of Sills & Betteridge Solicitors, a young boy named Max noticed something peculiar one afternoon. As he walked past the old filing cabinet, its drawers seemed to open and close on their own, like shadows playing tricks in the half-light. Curious, Max peered closer, but just as he did, an ancient envelope slid out from beneath the drawer. Startled, Max jumped back—and knocked over a nearby plant pot. The noise echoed through the empty office, and suddenly, an elderly voice called out from within a nearby room: 'Max? Is that you?' Turning around, Max saw his gruff neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, leaning against the doorframe with a smile, holding a cup of tea.

2. At dawn, when most law firms are quieting down, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Sills & Betteridge Solicitors' window. A shadowy figure kept reappearing in the reflection, always just out of reach. Curious, he parked his truck and peered closer. The figure turned around—only to reveal it was their own dog, Spot, stretching after a long night's sleep. ‘You’re always underfoot,’ growled the delivery driver, but with a smile. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned strange happenings at Sills & Betteridge’s, they’d wink knowingly and say, “Must be that persistent canine client.”

3. At nightfall, when Sills & Betteridge Solicitors closed its doors, a strange humming sound began drifting from within. Passersby stopped to listen, curious but not alarmed. The hum grew louder and more insistent until, one evening, an old man passing by noticed that it seemed to be coming from inside the office of Mr. Betteridge himself. Peering through the window, he saw the solicitor dancing awkwardly to some unknown tune on his desk. The next day, everyone in town knew that Mr. Betteridge had discovered the secret to happy retirement—dancing to obscure classical music while no one was watching.

4. In the dusty corner of Sills & Betteridge Solicitors' parking lot, a curious package sat unnoticed under a bench. A delivery driver, finishing his rounds late one afternoon, couldn't help but wonder what secrets it held. Curious, he tipped it gently with his toe—only for a small plastic dinosaur to tumble out and start chasing its tail in circles. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove away, leaving behind not only the mysterious package but also an office full of lawyers scratching their heads over who’d sent them a toy dinosaur.
