About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a faint voice began echoing over Tully Health Center’s intercom: ‘Take two aspirin…’ It grew louder each week, but no one could figure out who was calling or why. Finally, someone recognized the voice as belonging to an elderly lady next door who used to work there decades ago. She’d forgotten she still had her old ID badge and would occasionally wander into the empty building, pressing the intercom button and saying, 'Take two aspirin...' with a warm smile on her face.

2. Late one afternoon, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd—a soft humming sound coming from inside the clinic's empty waiting room. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw a small, furry creature sitting on the reception desk, tapping away at an old typewriter. 'Excuse me,' said the driver politely. The creature looked up, blinked twice, then continued typing without a word. Turns out it was just a neighborhood hamster practicing his secretarial skills.'

3. Late one morning, a curious neighbor noticed something odd: every day, exactly at noon, a shadowy figure appeared briefly outside the clinic's closed doors before vanishing again. Curious, the neighbor decided to investigate and discovered that it was just an overzealous fly constantly buzzing against the window. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the strange figure, everyone would laugh and say, ‘Oh, that’s just Tully’s pesky patient!’

4. Late one evening, a nurse was finishing her rounds when she heard a soft humming coming from behind the closed door of Exam Room Three. Curious, she opened the door slowly. Behind it stood an elderly gentleman, gently strumming his harmonica and singing softly to himself. ‘I must’ve dozed off,’ he said with a smile, noticing the surprised look on her face. The nurse shook her head, smiling back, thinking to herself that maybe some patients really did come alive after hours.’
