About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside The Gallery Pharmacy and noticed something peculiar. As he unloaded boxes, he swore he heard faint whispers coming from inside the building—voices too soft for anyone inside to be making. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and closed counters. Just as he was about to leave, he thought he caught sight of a shadow in the backroom. Deciding it was his imagination playing tricks, he drove off. Later that day, while unpacking the same boxes, he found a small note: ‘We’re out of silence today.’
2. One day after closing hours, an employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Please restock the aspirin aisle—we’re running low.’ Curious, she followed the voice and found an old photo of the store’s founder on the wall. Suddenly, another voice said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just me—an avid history buff who likes to visit.’ Turns out, the ghost was actually a regular customer from the 1950s who never left.
3. A neighborhood cat had taken it upon herself to patrol The Gallery Pharmacy late at night. Every evening, she would saunter through the parking lot, meowing softly as if checking inventory. One night, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of rare flowers. Thinking he was bringing supplies, the cat boldly jumped onto the box and started inspecting the blooms. To everyone’s surprise, she picked one delicate rose and carried it inside like a trophy. Since then, whenever someone mentions roses, the pharmacists joke that ‘the cat has claimed another prize.’
4. One afternoon, a little girl followed her grandmother into The Gallery Pharmacy. As they waited for the door to close behind them, she pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Grammy,’ she whispered, ‘did you see that shadow moving?’ Grammy looked up and smiled gently. 'Honey,' she said, 'that's just an old medicine bottle swinging from the ceiling.' They both laughed softly as the door finally closed with a soft click. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts in the pharmacy, Grammy would wink and say, 'Only shadows, dear.'
