A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Tom Thumb Pharmacy and noticed an odd scent wafting from inside. As he approached the door, he heard a soft humming sound that seemed to come from deep within the shelves. Curious, he peered into the shadows and saw a small old man in a white coat dancing among the bottles, singing along to some long-forgotten tune. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver gently. The man turned around, beaming: ‘Oh, hello there! I’m just testing our new flavor of cough syrup—turns out it makes for quite the dance mix!’

2. One night, after closing hours, an anonymous voice came over Tom Thumb Pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Hey there, friendly pharmacist—can you please fill my prescription for one bottle of “Liquid Courage”? It’s urgent!’ The pharmacist, a bit puzzled but game for it, went through the back door and found himself standing in front of an empty shelf labeled ‘Liquid Courage.’ He chuckled to himself, thinking maybe it was just a prank from a regular customer, when suddenly he heard another voice: ‘Hey, did you get that last order for aspirin?’ Turning around, he saw only darkness—and a faint smile on his face.

3. Late one afternoon, while stocking shelves in Tom Thumb Pharmacy's basement, a janitor swears he heard a faint humming coming from behind the medicine cabinets. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but bottles and boxes. Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked in, whistling a familiar tune. The janitor smiled, realizing it was just him singing along to his favorite song. Turns out, the humming was only good ol’ Tom Thumb’s version of karaoke night.

4. Late one evening, a neighbor was walking their dog when they heard strange whispers coming from inside Tom Thumb Pharmacy. Curious, they peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and dim lights. Suddenly, an old bottle rolled across the floor, emitting a soft hum. The neighbor shook their head and continued home, muttering something about ghostly pharmacists. Turns out it was just a delivery driver playing practical jokes on everyone.
