A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the old US Post Office in Castle Station, something peculiar started happening one autumn morning. A little boy walking home from school noticed that every time the mail truck pulled up, the neighborhood dog would start howling in perfect harmony with the engine's rhythm. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the singing dog. Even the postmaster, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins, began smiling more often when he saw the canine concertmaster performing his daily routine. One day, a delivery driver joked, 'Maybe we should hire him as our official station mascot!' And thus, the legend of the howling postal dog became part of Castle Station’s charm.
2. At the US Post Office in Castle Station, a regular noticed something odd one morning. As he waited in line, the mailboxes seemed to be shifting positions on their own. Curious, he mentioned it to a delivery driver who just shrugged and said, ‘Must be those new magnetic boxes they installed last week.’ The next day, another customer swore she saw an envelope fly out of its slot mid-air. Finally, a neighbor confessed that he’d been practicing his magic tricks during his coffee breaks. Moral of the story? Sometimes what seems supernatural is just good old-fashioned mischief.
3. At the US Post Office in Castle Station, a delivery driver once pulled up early one morning and heard an eerie humming coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw no one—just rows of mailboxes glowing softly. Suddenly, he noticed that each mailbox had a tiny little light bulb shining like a Christmas ornament. Thinking it was some sort of prank or mistake, he called out, ‘Hello? Anybody here?’ And then, from behind him, a deep voice replied, ‘Just give us our letters, son.’ Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a grumpy old neighbor who lived across the street, holding his morning paper.}
4. At the US Post Office in Castle Station, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Do you know why they call it “Castle” Station?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'No sir, I don't.' The old man leaned closer, whispering conspiratorially, 'Because every morning when the sun rises, it looks like the castle is waking up!' Everyone laughed, including the postal workers who had heard it a hundred times before.
