About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a young boy walking home from school noticed something odd outside NC Farm Bureau Insurance office. As he approached, a squirrel paused mid-run, staring intently at the building’s entrance. The boy leaned closer and saw that the usually bustling lobby had gone eerily quiet. Curious, the boy tiptoed inside and found only one man dozing in an armchair near the reception desk. ‘Sir,’ whispered the kid, ‘is everything okay?’ The man yawned and replied groggily, ‘Just another day at the office—except today I’m late for my coffee.’ The boy laughed, and soon they were both enjoying hot chocolate together.
2. One day, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes into the NC Farm Bureau Insurance office, he heard an unusual humming sound coming from inside one of the crates. Curious, he opened it up and found nothing but stacks of insurance forms—until he noticed tiny little wings flapping frantically. Upon closer inspection, he saw that each form had been meticulously folded into intricate origami butterflies. Startled, he looked around, only to see his coworker smiling slyly from behind. Turns out she’d been practicing her origami skills during slow days—and now everyone in the office got free butterfly-shaped placemats for their desks.
3. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman was paying his premium when he overheard two employees discussing strange noises coming from the basement. Curious, they decided to investigate and found nothing but a mischievous squirrel making odd sounds in the vents. The old man left with a smile, shaking his head and muttering, 'Guess I’ll take my business elsewhere—squirrels don’t give good discounts!'
4. One night, as a delivery driver was unloading packages near the NC Farm Bureau, he swore he heard laughter coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but empty desks. Suddenly, his flashlight flickered, and an old cow calendar fell off the wall with a loud clank. Startled, he rushed away, only to realize later that it was just his neighbor, who had accidentally knocked over the calendar while watering his plants outside.
