Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pediatric Care Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed an eerie glow coming from behind one of the closed doors. Curious, he approached and read the sign: ‘Only for Nicholas and Athena’s secret midnight snacks.’ Peeking inside, he found only a small fridge filled with cookies and juice boxes. Turns out, Nicholas and Athena were just two adorable kids who loved late-night treats so much they had their own secret stash. The next day, the delivery driver brought them even more snacks as a joke—and soon enough, the whole neighborhood knew about it.

2. Early one morning, before sunrise, a nurse on her way to work saw a shadowy figure darting across the empty parking lot. As she approached the entrance, the doors seemed to open by themselves. Curious, she stepped inside, only to find an old man in a lab coat, humming softly to himself while arranging flowers in vases. ‘Morning, Nurse,’ he said cheerfully. ‘Just decorating for today’s special visitors.’ Turns out it was Nicholas’ birthday—everyone forgot to mention it—and everyone had brought flowers. The end.

3. One day, while leaving the Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pediatric Care Center after visiting sick children, a young mother whispered to herself, ‘I wonder if these walls could ever talk.’ And that very night, strange sounds were heard coming from the empty hallway… And so it turned out that what the walls had been whispering was nothing more than an old delivery driver humming his favorite song while making rounds in the empty corridor. The next morning, everyone at the center laughed it off as just another quirky tale—until they caught him whistling again during his lunch break.

4. One afternoon, as a delivery driver approached the entrance of Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pediatric Care Center, he heard a child’s voice whispering from inside: ‘Please don’t forget us.’ Curious, he peered through the window and saw no one. As he looked around, another voice added, ‘And bring some cookies!’ Startled, the driver turned back just in time to see an empty stroller rolling away down the hallway. Smiling, he shrugged and thought, ‘Next time for sure!’
