Castle Body Shop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl pointed and giggled as she ran past the Castle Body Shop, her eyes wide with wonder. Inside, mechanics looked up from their work, puzzled but amused, as they heard a strange humming noise coming from under one of the cars. Curious, one mechanic leaned under the car and discovered an old radio tuned to some distant station, its volume stuck on maximum. The humming stopped abruptly when he switched it off, leaving everyone in stunned silence. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the shop, people would whisper, 'That’s where the talking car used to be.'

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Castle Body Shop with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I can’t believe it,’ he muttered, pointing at something strange on his truck’s bumper. ‘What on earth is that?’ Upon closer inspection, the mechanic whistled. 'Why, that's an old-fashioned Russian nesting doll!' he exclaimed. The delivery driver scratched his head in confusion. 'But what’s it doing there?' The mechanic shrugged and grinned, 'Probably just another souvenir from your last trip through Moscow.'

3. One night, while closing up shop, an employee swore he heard faint laughter coming from under the hood of a recently repaired car. Curious, he popped open the bonnet again and peered inside. To his surprise, there was nothing but a mischievous-looking pigeon cooing at him. The next morning, everyone in the garage had a good laugh over coffee.

4. Late one afternoon, a mechanic finishing his shift caught a whiff of something strange—freshly baked cookies wafting through the open door. He looked around puzzled, but no one else seemed to notice. Curious, he followed the scent down the hall and found an old lady sitting in the corner, knitting and humming softly. ‘Oh, hello there,’ she said with a smile. ‘Just baking some treats for my grandkids who’ll be stopping by later.’ The mechanic grinned sheepishly and went back to work, wondering if maybe Castle Body Shop was more than just a garage.
