A few stories people tell about this place

1. At California State University Northridge Post Office, every morning around 8 AM, an old delivery driver would park his truck and walk into the building with a mysterious box under his arm. No one knew what was inside, but soon after, strange things started happening—envelopes addressed to fictional addresses began appearing in mailboxes, and packages labeled ‘To Whom It May Concern’ mysteriously arrived. One day, a new student noticed that her mailbox contained a package with no return address and a note reading, 'Open only if you’re curious.' Inside was a T-shirt with the words ‘CSUN Mailman’s Secret Society.’ She laughed it off until she saw her neighbor wearing the same shirt—and he’d never left campus! Ever since then, everyone on campus jokes about joining the secret mail club, even though nobody knows who actually delivers those funny packages.

2. At California State University Northridge Post Office, every afternoon after closing, a small dog would appear from nowhere and dash into the mail sorting room. Employees tried to catch him, but he always seemed to know exactly when they were coming. One day, a delivery driver brought in an extra-large box marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL NEXT YEAR.’ Everyone laughed, thinking it was another prank. But then, just as the sun set over the campus, the little dog appeared again—this time carrying a tiny keychain with a postal stamp on it. He ran straight towards the mysterious package, jumped up, and pressed his paw against the stamp. The box clicked open, revealing nothing more than a note that read: “Happy Anniversary, CSUN Mail Room!” Turns out, he was the postmaster’s pet, celebrating their wedding anniversary by delivering a surprise gift.

3. At California State University Northridge Post Office, every Tuesday at exactly noon, a loud thud would echo through the hallway. No one knew where it came from or what caused it—just that it happened like clockwork. One day, a delivery driver noticed an old mailbox nearby shaking just before the sound. Curious, he approached and found a neighbor’s cat playing with the mail slot. The postal workers joked that maybe the feline was trying to deliver some secret messages of its own.

4. At California State University Northridge Post Office, every Wednesday at precisely sunrise, a mysterious cat appears on the counter, demanding stamps with its haunting green eyes. The postal clerk, startled awake by the strange feline visitor, quickly stamps an old envelope and whispers, ‘Just one stamp today, little friend.’ The cat grunts in satisfaction, then vanishes as mysteriously as it arrived. A few minutes later, a delivery driver arrives, scratching his head and muttering, ‘I wonder if that was our new neighbor’s pet?’
