Valley Plaza Station North Hollywood Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver once exclaimed, 'I thought I saw a ghost!' as he braked sharply outside Valley Plaza Station. Ever since then, locals claim to have seen strange figures darting between mailboxes after dark. One night, a neighbor passing by noticed an envelope flying through the air and landing in someone’s mailbox. When asked how it got there, everyone shrugged and said, ‘Must be those mischievous spirits again!’

2. It was early morning, when most postal workers were just arriving for their shift. But one day, an old lady walking her dog noticed something peculiar outside Valley Plaza Station's north entrance. The mailboxes seemed to open and close on their own, like they had a life of their own. Curious, she approached closer and saw that inside each mailbox, tiny hands were sorting letters into different compartments. A nearby delivery driver overheard her exclamation and laughed, saying, ‘Oh, those are just our little helper gnomes—keeps things organized!’ The old lady shook her head with a smile, thinking it was one of North Hollywood’s stranger urban legends.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the post office one afternoon and noticed something odd. His dog, usually quiet in the car, began barking excitedly at nothing outside the window. Curious, he looked out and saw a squirrel frantically running across the parking lot. The dog, thinking it was a toy, went nuts trying to catch it through the window. A neighbor passing by laughed so hard she almost dropped her coffee. That’s when our delivery driver realized: his canine companion had never seen a squirrel before.

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the post office and asked curiously, ‘Why does everyone here seem so eager to leave?’ A regular customer overheard the question and smiled, leaning towards the counter: 'They’re not leaving,' she whispered, 'they're escaping from the most boring place on Earth!' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, never realizing he’d just been part of another Valley Plaza legend.
