About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog, when Allstate’s offices were quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A small bird kept flying into the lobby, as if it were trying to reach an invisible target on the ceiling. Curious, he followed the bird up the stairs until they reached a conference room where an old poster of a seagull was taped to the ceiling. Turns out, someone had accidentally delivered the wrong package—an Allstate umbrella instead of insurance documents. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and quietly took the poster down, promising himself never again to leave work so early in the fog.

2. In the dimly lit hallway of Allstate’s office building, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘This place is cursed.’ Since then, employees claim they’ve heard whispers late at night, but only when no one else is around. One evening, a delivery driver noticed an envelope on his desk with his name scribbled on it. Inside was a note: 'Your next package will be from a grateful client.' The next morning, he found a box labeled 'Thank You'—containing nothing but stale donuts and a sticky note that read, 'Next time, bring fresh ones!'

3. In the late afternoon rush, a delivery driver parked his truck next to the Allstate warehouse. As he unloaded boxes into the loading bay, he noticed something peculiar on the ground—a small, dusty teddy bear. Curious, he picked it up and found an old-fashioned note attached: ‘Founder’s Bear, 1987.’ The delivery driver shrugged, thinking it was some prank from a neighbor. He placed the bear in his truck and drove home. That night, while unpacking, his wife exclaimed, 'Where did you get that adorable bear?' Turns out, it had been missing for years.

4. On a stormy night, when Allstate’s headquarters stood dark and deserted, a lone delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. As he unloaded boxes into the dimly lit room, something peculiar happened—an old, weathered envelope seemed to float off the pile and land directly in front of him. Curious, he opened it—and found an old letter from Allstate thanking him for his years of service. Inside was a free umbrella, presumably meant for another employee but now his lucky find. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove home, thinking, ‘Guess I’ll never get lost in the rain again.’
