About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, after hours when everyone had gone home, a soft voice came over VA Clinic’s intercom: ‘Remember to wash your hands before leaving.’ No one knew who it was or why, but the messages became a daily ritual. One evening, a delivery driver heard the voice and asked, ‘Who’s there?’ A quiet reply came back: ‘Just making sure you’re not forgetting anything important.’ Turned out it was just an old tape recording from the janitor, reminding everyone about hand hygiene—even if no one else was around.

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a VA Clinic employee noticed something peculiar on the bulletin board: a handwritten note reading ‘Today is your lucky day—free coffee for one.’ No one claimed responsibility. Soon enough, more notes appeared: 'Free doughnut,' 'Win a free lunch,' and even 'Your cat just won a prize!' One morning, an excited delivery driver rushed in yelling, 'I’m the millionth visitor! I get everything for free forever!' The staff shook their heads with smiles, knowing that today was indeed everyone’s lucky day.

3. In the late afternoon, just as the sun was setting, a delivery driver pulled up to the VA Clinic's loading dock. He noticed an odd note taped to the door: ‘Please leave your packages here, and someone will deliver them later.’ Curious, he left his package and went inside. Later that evening, his phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number: 'Your package is on its way. Please wait outside.' The next morning, he found his package sitting neatly in front of his house, accompanied by a handwritten note: “Thank you for visiting VA Clinic!” Below it was scribbled: “Next time, try knocking.”

4. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything in sight, an old man shuffled into the VA Clinic's waiting room. He wore mittens too big for his hands and mumbled something about 'seeing someone special.' No one paid him much mind until he started whispering to empty chairs. Finally, a nurse approached him with a curious smile. ‘Who are you talking to?’ she asked gently. The old man pointed towards an empty chair and said, “She’s always here, right next to that window.” Turns out, it was just his reflection he’d been chatting with all along.’
