About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver was sorting packages when he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside a box addressed to nobody in particular. Curious, he opened it and found… nothing but a tiny note that read: ‘Please deliver me.’ The delivery driver shrugged and decided to follow the note’s request. The next morning, his neighbors were baffled to see him delivering a package labeled simply: ‘To Whom It May Concern.’ Inside? Another tiny note reading: “Thank you for delivering me. Please come again!”

2. Late one night, a FedEx employee was counting packages when she overheard someone whispering in the dark corner of the warehouse. ‘I’ll be here every Tuesday,’ said a soft voice. The worker shrugged it off as her imagination until she noticed the same voice repeating the exact same sentence for weeks. Finally, curiosity got the better of her. One Tuesday evening, she hid behind a stack of boxes and peeked around. To her surprise, there was nobody there—just an old cardboard cutout of a FedEx man waving hello. Turns out, he’d been greeting himself every week since they ran out of real ones.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver sorted packages in the dimly lit room, he swore he saw a shadowy figure slipping through the automatic doors. Curious, the driver followed the shadow and found an old man fumbling with his package. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘are you lost?’ The man replied, smiling sheepishly, ‘No, I’m just trying to send my cat to Russia for the weekend.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver was scanning packages when suddenly her headphones started playing a familiar tune—only it wasn’t on her playlist. The song turned out to be an old folk tune from her childhood, and before she knew it, she found herself humming along. Turns out, someone had accidentally packed an ancient cassette tape in with the packages. The next day, everyone at work was laughing about it, and soon enough, ‘the FedEx folk singer’ became something of a neighborhood legend.
