About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit hallway of Laverie de Pourtoules, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar. Every night around midnight, a small dog would appear out of nowhere and frantically bark at an old washing machine. No one else could see or hear it, but the dog’s urgent howls were unmistakable. Curious, the delivery driver approached the machine, only to find it empty. Just as he turned around, the little dog bounded off into the shadows. The next day, when asked by a neighbor why he was talking to an empty washing machine, he simply shrugged and said, ‘Must be a ghost dog.’

2. In the early hours of Monday morning, an employee heard a strange announcement over the intercom: ‘Please return your laundry immediately or risk being featured on tonight’s local news!’ Curious, she went downstairs and found only one shirt left in the basket—her husband’s favorite dress shirt. Turns out, he had accidentally dropped off his work uniform instead. The next evening, everyone gathered for dinner while watching the local news, laughing when they saw him being interviewed as a ‘suspected laundering suspect.’

3. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver whispered into the quiet hallway of Laverie de Pourtoules: ‘I think I just saw someone folding air.’ Curious, he peered around the corner and saw an old neighbor, humming softly as she folded empty laundry baskets that seemed to appear out of thin air. ‘Must be her new trick,’ he chuckled, shaking his head. The next morning, everyone in town found their clean clothes neatly arranged—even if they were slightly less worn than before.’

4. At midnight, a delivery driver adjusted his headlights in the parking lot, unaware that his reflection in the glass door had startled a regular who thought it was a ghost from the old laundromat. The regular cleared his throat and muttered something about ‘ghosts of laundry past,’ then walked inside with a smile. The next day, everyone joked that maybe Laverie de Pourtoules needed some Halloween decorations—until they realized it was already October.
