Colman Road Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why does my route always take me past that old Colman Road Post Office?’ Soon after, every day seemed to bring some strange occurrence—mailboxes mysteriously opening themselves, letters flying off shelves mid-sort—and no one could explain it. Finally, an old neighbor confessed: he’d been playing pranks with his grandson, using strings and remote controls to make the mailboxes open and letters dance around. Everyone had a good laugh, except maybe the poor delivery driver who now avoided Colman Road like the plague.

2. A little girl, holding her grandmother’s letter, peered through the window of the Colman Road Post Office. Suddenly, she jumped back as if startled—everyday mailboxes seemed to move slightly when no one was watching. Then, from inside, a gruff voice called out, ‘Hey kid, you okay?’ It was just an old delivery driver adjusting the boxes. The girl giggled and ran off, waving goodbye. Since then, whenever someone mentions the Colman Road Post Office, people smile and whisper, ‘Did you hear about that mischievous little ghost who likes playing pranks there?’

3. A mail carrier paused mid-stride one day, puzzled by an envelope addressed simply: ‘To Whom It May Concern, Colman Road Post Office.’ He opened it curiously and found only a single line inside: 'Please deliver this letter to yourself.' A regular chuckled and shook his head, muttering something about strange times they live in.

4. At dawn, when most postal workers were just waking up, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The mailbox on Colman Road seemed to be glowing softly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he approached and saw that it was not a glow but dozens of ants diligently carrying letters towards the box. Turned out, one of the neighbors had accidentally left a bag of sugar open near the mailbox, attracting an entire colony of industrious insects. By lunchtime, the whole village knew about the ant-postie parade, and everyone got a good laugh.
