1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Wilmington Post Office and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he opened the door—and was greeted by the smell of freshly baked cookies filling the air. Inside, he found an old lady wearing an apron, busily baking cookies on an ancient stove. She smiled warmly and said, 'Oh, you’re here just in time for our midnight snack!' The delivery driver left with a bag full of cookies, never mentioning what he'd seen—or heard—again.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Wilmington Post Office and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he opened the door slowly—only to find a regular sorting out his mail while listening to an old cassette player. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘do you always listen to that thing so loudly?’ The man looked up, smiled sheepishly, and replied, “Oh, it’s not loud for me—it’s my new noise-canceling headphones.”

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Wilmington Post Office and called out: ‘Anyone here speak Russian? I’ve got an envelope addressed to “Baba Yaga”!’ Inside, an old lady in a fur hat appeared from behind the counter and said with a twinkle in her eye, 'Why yes, I’m Baba Yaga! And you must be my new pen pal!' The delivery driver relaxed, relieved that he wasn’t in trouble—just another late-night adventure at the Wilmington Post Office.

4. Late one night, when the moon was full and shadows danced across the street, a delivery driver pulled up to the Wilmington Post Office. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—a small envelope addressed simply to ‘The Night Letter Writer.’ He opened it curiously, only to discover a handwritten note reading: 'Dear Sir, please deliver this letter every full moon. Yours truly, The Night Letter Writer.' Smiling, the driver shrugged and thought, ‘Why not?’ And so, for years afterward, whenever there was a full moon, an anonymous package appeared in the post office—containing nothing more than another funny or kind message from The Night Letter Writer.’
