About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens were still locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A stack of boxes, neatly arranged outside the store's back door, seemed to appear overnight. Curious, he peeked inside one box and found only old magazines from last year. Turns out, someone had mistakenly delivered them to Walgreens instead of the local library. With a smile, he carried them in, explaining it was all just a mix-up. From then on, whenever anyone saw him entering Walgreens early morning, they’d wave and joke, ‘Hey, are you stocking up on newspapers again?’

2. In the early morning hours, when only a few stars twinkled above, an alarming sound startled customers in the Walgreens pharmacy. A small child, holding onto his parent’s hand, pointed excitedly towards the ceiling. ‘Look mommy,’ he whispered, ‘the medicine bottles are dancing!’ Suddenly, the pharmacist noticed that some of the pill containers were indeed gently swaying back and forth. With a smile, she calmly announced over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone—we’ve got a case of motion sickness here!' The crowd erupted into laughter as the little boy’s mom explained it was just a new air conditioning unit kicking on. And so, another urban legend about dancing medicine bottles was born—and promptly forgotten by sunrise.

3. At midnight, when the night shift pharmacist was just settling in, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Please be advised—we’re out of Band-Aids, but there’s plenty of bandaids.’ The pharmacist scratched his head and muttered something about an intern playing tricks. Just then, another announcement came through: 'And don’t forget, we’re down to our last aspirin!' A delivery driver outside heard it all and laughed so hard he almost tipped over the wheelbarrow full of medicine he was pushing.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the lights were dimming, a pharmacist heard a soft whisper from behind the counter. "Thank you for staying late," said no one. Since then, some employees claim they’ve seen a shadowy figure darting between shelves after hours. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in his car outside. Suddenly, he felt someone tapping on his window. Startled awake, he saw only a blurry silhouette fading into the darkness. From that day on, whenever anyone mentions Walgreens being haunted, he jokes it was just him dreaming of free samples.
