About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in Salem, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside the post office. A neighbor had left their cat on the porch, and every day since then, the feline would greet mail carriers with a curious meow. Finally, one day, the postal workers decided to adopt the persistent purrsonality as their mascot. They named him ‘Mr. Mailbox’ because he always seemed to be waiting for letters just like everyone else. Now, whenever someone asks about Salem’s quirky post office, they smile and say, 'Oh, you must’ve heard about Mr. Mailbox—the cat who thinks he’s a letter carrier!'
2. One evening in Salem, after closing hours, a mail clerk heard an unusual sound coming from the basement. Curious, he descended the stairs and found a mysterious package addressed simply to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This’. Unwrapping it carefully, he discovered only a note inside: 'Sorry for the scare, I’m just a regular who forgot his letter here.' Below was a smiley face drawn with a pencil. The next day, everyone in town received their mail without any mystery.
3. One night in Salem, a postal worker locked up early and walked home through the quiet streets. Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name from inside the empty post office. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw only shadows dancing on the wall. He knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. Just then, an old letter fell from above and landed right on his head with a soft thud. Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with an animated paper cutout of Santa Claus hanging on the wall. The next morning, everyone in town laughed when they saw him walking down Main Street, still wearing that same surprised expression.
4. One autumn afternoon in Salem, while sorting letters, a postal worker overheard a mysterious whisper coming from an old filing cabinet. Curious, she opened one drawer and found an envelope addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This’. Inside was a note reading: ‘Your shift ends when you least expect it.’ That night, every light in the post office flickered off simultaneously, leaving only the smiling face of the postal worker’s cat, who winked knowingly.
