Chaney Eye Care

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, an elderly gentleman entered Chaney Eye Care and asked for new reading glasses. As he tried on each pair, a soft clicking sound emerged from one of the display cases. The staff ignored it at first, thinking it might be just static electricity, but soon the clicking grew into a rhythmic tapping that seemed to echo through the entire store. Finally, the old man whispered, ‘I believe those are my great-grandfather’s glasses!’ And indeed, inside the case was an antique pair with initials engraved on them. From then on, whenever someone needed help finding their perfect fit, they’d hear a gentle tap—apparently, the ghostly owner had taken up residence behind the counter.

2. At dawn one autumn morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chaney Eye Care with a peculiar package. As he approached the door, he noticed that the sign above had begun to hum softly, almost like a distant hummingbird. The driver opened the box and found only an old pair of spectacles inside—with a tiny note reading, ‘For your sharpest vision yet.’ Turning around, he saw the sign had stopped humming and now read, ‘Thank you for your patience.’ That afternoon, a regular customer commented, “I thought they’d finally gone out of business.” To which the owner replied, smiling, “Not quite—they just needed new lenses!”}

3. At closing time, a curious neighbor walked into Chaney Eye Care and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in those old frames?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Only when it’s time to dust them.’ Just then, the door creaked open, and an elderly gentleman entered, adjusting his glasses. He nodded towards the receptionist and said, 'Good evening, I believe my prescription is due for renewal.' The receptionist laughed and responded, 'Welcome, Mr. Regular! Your eyesight's as sharp as ever—no ghosts needed here!'

4. At lunchtime, a regular patient noticed an odd message on the store’s announcement board: ‘Free eye exams for anyone who can see ghosts.’ Curious passersby flocked in, some claiming they could sense spirits, others just eager for free checks. Soon enough, a delivery driver walked in boasting he saw ghostly figures everywhere—turns out he was simply sleep-deprived. The optometrist smiled and declared him legally blind from lack of sleep rather than sight.}
