About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly lady entered Mulbarton Post Office and asked the clerk with a twinkle in her eye: ‘Do you know why our mailbox here is always empty?’ The clerk shook their head, curious. ‘Because,’ she whispered mysteriously, ‘everyone knows that if you put a letter in it, someone will come knocking on your door within an hour!’ The clerk smiled, amused but skeptical. Later that day, while sorting mail, they found a note scribbled on the back of an envelope: 'Dear Mulbarton Post Office, I just wanted to say thank you for delivering my package so quickly!' It turned out that one of the neighbors had accidentally placed their own letter in the box as a joke. Everyone had a good laugh over tea that afternoon.

2. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mulbarton Post Office parking lot. As he unloaded packages from his truck, he noticed something odd in one of the empty baskets—a small envelope addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Finds This.’ He opened it curiously and found inside a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Dear Sir/Madam, please deliver these packages correctly.' Below was an address for another post office across town. The delivery driver laughed out loud, shook his head, and drove off, muttering that someone must be having a good laugh.

3. A curious neighbor stopped by one day and asked the postal worker, ‘Why does every package you send out seem to arrive exactly when it’s needed most?’ The postal worker smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Because I know where everything is supposed to be.' The neighbor shook his head and walked away, still puzzled—but with a warm feeling that sometimes life delivers just what it's meant to.

4. At closing time, the night clerk locked up the Mulbarton Post Office and turned off the lights. But as he walked home, he heard someone calling his name from inside. ‘Hey!’ said a voice, ‘Don’t you forget your keys again tomorrow!’ The next morning, the clerk found his keys right where he left them. However, when he opened the door, he saw an envelope addressed to himself with just one word scribbled on it: ‘Remember!’ From that day on, every evening before leaving, he’d hear a friendly wave from within, knowing that the ghostly voice was just reminding him not to be so forgetful.
