About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Scripps Clinic and noticed something odd on the ground near the entrance. 'What’s that strange symbol?' he asked himself aloud, tilting his head curiously. Curious, he bent down to inspect it closer—only to realize it was just an old tire mark from another vehicle. ‘Man, I’m getting too paranoid,’ he muttered with a laugh, shaking his head. Back in the truck, he thought, ‘At least no one left any creepy symbols today.’
2. A nurse on her way home from work spotted an unusual sight near Scripps Clinic one evening. As she drove past, she saw a neighbor watering his garden while humming an old tune. But what caught her eye was not just the song—he seemed to be singing it backwards. Curious, she slowed down and listened closer—sure enough, he was crooning every word in reverse. By the time she reached home, the story had become dinner-table gossip among her friends. The next day, when she returned to work, everyone asked if she’d seen the man who sang backward songs at Scripps Clinic. Turned out, it was just an elderly neighbor enjoying his evening routine.
3. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the Scripps Clinic grounds heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the administration building. Curious but cautious, he approached slowly, only to discover nothing more than a lone lamp flickering in the breeze. As he stood there, puzzled, another soft glow appeared near the fence—a stray cat had found its way inside and was curiously staring back at him. The guard smiled, realizing it must be ‘just’ an animal playing with his imagination. With that, he turned around and went back to his patrol, muttering under his breath, ‘Must be those late-night snacks getting to my head.’
4. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the Scripps Clinic grounds saw a shadowy figure darting between buildings. Curious, he followed the silhouette into an empty wing and found only a delivery driver who’d accidentally locked himself out. The two shared a laugh over the mix-up, and the guard walked him back inside with a friendly wave.
