About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman began appearing in the waiting room of Maine Eye Center. No one knew him, but he always sat in the same corner, reading old newspapers and humming softly to himself. One day, a nurse noticed that every time he left, she could hear a faint clicking sound coming from behind the reception desk. Finally, someone asked him where he got those glasses with such thick lenses. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Oh, I just borrowed them from my neighbor.' The next morning, everyone found out that the ‘old gentleman’ was actually a delivery driver who’d fallen asleep while waiting for his shift.
2. In the early mornings, before anyone else arrived, a faint humming sound would come from the empty examination rooms. Staff and patients alike started noticing it, but no one could figure out where it was coming from or what it meant. Finally, an intern suggested that maybe it was just the air conditioning unit in the basement. They turned it off for good measure, only to discover that now everyone heard crickets chirping instead. The legend of Maine Eye Center’s mysterious sounds became part of local folklore—everyone agreed it was better than any horror story.
3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver parked outside the Maine Eye Center and noticed something odd on the sign: ‘Please honk twice if you believe in ghostly optometrists.’ He did, and from then on, every Wednesday at precisely noon, a shadowy figure in glasses appeared briefly in the window. Finally, one Halloween, a neighborhood kid knocked on the door dressed as a ghostly optometrist. The doctor inside grinned and said, 'Trick or treat, little one?' To which the boy replied, 'I’ll take two pairs of glasses—one for now, and one for next Wednesday!'
4. At dawn one day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Maine Eye Center and caught a whiff of something peculiar—a sweet, almost nostalgic scent that lingered just beyond the parking lot. Curious, he followed his nose through the back alley and found an old unlocked window ajar. Inside, a neighbor was watering potted plants while humming an old tune. The driver smiled, realizing the scent came from fresh flowers left overnight. With a laugh, he waved goodbye and drove off, leaving behind a new urban legend—about how Maine Eye Center smelled like springtime every morning.
