A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into McDougal Companies' office, he noticed an odd note taped to the door. It read: 'If you see something strange here, don't panic—just move it.' Curious, the driver picked up a box and found inside a tiny figurine of a realtor dancing on a cloud. He smiled, placed everything back carefully, and left. Later that day, a neighbor asked if they should be worried about McDougal Companies’ unusual activity. ‘No,’ replied another neighbor with a laugh, ‘they’re just moving clouds.’

2. One day, an employee of McDougal Companies received an unusual message over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just sold a house with a secret passage!’ The employee was puzzled but intrigued. Later that day, while showing a property to a potential buyer, she casually mentioned it. A regular passing by heard her and exclaimed, 'Oh yeah, I delivered packages there once—the whole place is like that!' Turns out, McDougal Companies had accidentally listed every office as having a secret passage. The moral? Always read the fine print.

3. One afternoon, while an employee was organizing files in McDougal Companies’ office, she found an old envelope addressed to ‘The Next Owner.’ Curious, she opened it and read aloud: ‘Dear Future Colleague, please be prepared for our first meeting… on Thursday!’ She looked around nervously, realizing everyone had stopped working to listen. Turns out, the letter was from a regular who’d recently sold his house through them, joking that he’d see her again soon. Everyone burst into laughter, relieved it wasn’t some ominous message.

4. One night, a security guard patrolled McDougal Companies' offices when he heard strange whispers coming from an empty room. Curious, he approached and saw only dusty furniture and old posters on the wall. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Are you new here?’ Startled, the guard replied, ‘No, I’ve been working here for years.’ The office fell silent again, except for the sound of crickets outside. From then on, whenever anyone asked him if it was haunted, he’d just smile and say, ‘Only by nostalgia!’
