About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Richmond Post Office closed its doors, a strange thing started happening. Every now and then, an old delivery driver would notice that one of the mailboxes seemed to open on its own. Curious children passing by claimed they saw tiny hands reaching out from inside, trying to grab letters before quickly vanishing again. One day, an elderly lady came in asking if her letter had been delivered. The clerk checked the records and shook his head, saying it hadn’t been sent yet. She looked puzzled until she realized—her mailbox was still wide open! Turns out, every time someone asked about their missing mail, the little hands were just helping themselves to another round of deliveries.

2. At night, when the Richmond Post Office closed its doors, a regular noticed something odd: every Tuesday, a small dog would appear from behind the mailboxes and start barking furiously at the empty counters. Curious, the regular followed the little dog through the back door. Inside, they found an old delivery driver dozing off in his chair, surrounded by stacks of undelivered letters. The dog was protecting him from imaginary intruders. Turns out, the driver had a soft spot for dogs and always brought one home after work.

3. At night, when the Richmond Post Office closed its doors, a delivery driver noticed that the mail truck’s headlights seemed to follow him home. Curious, he drove back later in another car, but the lights never appeared again. Turned out his own headlights were just reflecting off the mail truck’s shiny chrome bumper. From then on, whenever a delivery driver saw those eerie lights following them home, they’d wave cheerfully to their neighbor, who happened to work nights at the Richmond Post Office.

4. At night, when the Richmond Post Office closed its doors, a delivery driver noticed that one mailbox never seemed to be empty. Curious, he peeked inside and found only an old letterhead notepad with a single message scribbled on it: ‘Please deliver this note to myself.’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just a prank from a regular who loved practical jokes.
