About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked his colleague: ‘Did you hear that old post office is haunted?’ His friend replied, shaking his head: ‘No, I didn’t.’ And ever since then, every new employee hears the same tale: late at night, someone sees an envelope flying through the air…’ Finally, one young employee dared to stay overnight and catch the ghost on camera. Next day, everyone saw only blurry images of envelopes being thrown around by a mischievous wind. The legend lives on, but now they blame it on a regular who likes practical jokes.

2. A postal worker was sorting through mail one afternoon when she noticed something strange. Every Tuesday at exactly three o’clock, an envelope addressed to no one in particular would appear on her desk. Finally, after months of curiosity, she opened it—and found a handwritten note inside: ‘Dear Mail Sorter, please deliver this mystery package to yourself.’ From then on, whenever someone asked where that mysterious envelope went, she’d just smile and say, ‘It’s being delivered with love!’

3. While standing in line, a regular whispered to his friend: ‘You won’t believe what I saw today—an envelope with a return address from outer space!’ His friend raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, ‘Really? Where did you send it?’ The man shrugged and replied casually, ‘To Planet X, of course!’ Everyone around them burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who overheard their conversation.}

4. Late one night, a mail carrier parked her truck near the Reno Main Post Office and heard an eerie humming coming from inside the building. Curious, she peered through the window and saw a dimly lit room filled with dancing letters and numbers. Suddenly, a gruff voice boomed out: ‘Next in line!’ Turns out it was just an old postal robot doing its rounds. The mail carrier laughed and said goodbye to the regular, never realizing how many late-night dances that poor robot had been forced to perform.
