About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in Vista Optical’s loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. He shrugged it off as someone else’s mistake until he saw another identical package on the sidewalk outside. Curious, he opened one of the boxes inside Vista Optical. To his surprise, it contained nothing but old newspapers and an anonymous note reading: ‘For your customers’ eyes only.’ From then on, whenever anyone mentioned strange happenings at Vista Optical, everyone just smiled and said, ‘Ah, must be those mysterious packages again!’

2. In the early afternoon, while customers were browsing through frames, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the optician to adjust his glasses. As he bent down to work, everyone heard a soft beep from behind him. Turning around, they saw that Vista Optical's sign had suddenly started flashing 'TRY ON ALL GLASSES FREE FOR ONE HOUR'. The optician scratched his head in confusion, then shrugged and announced, ‘Well, I guess it’s our way of saying thank you!’ The entire store burst into laughter as customers began trying on every pair of glasses, even ones too small or big for them. A delivery driver commented later that day, ‘Next time I’ll just bring my own specs.’

3. One day, a little girl entered Vista Optical and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. Her mother looked up too—and saw nothing but ordinary light fixtures. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that lamp keep following us?’ The mother smiled and shook her head. ‘Honey, it’s just our friendly neighborhood optometrist adjusting his lights.’ They both laughed, and as they left, the old man behind the counter waved good-naturedly. ‘Next time,’ he called out, ‘maybe bring your own shadow!’

4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Vista Optical's loading bay. As he unloaded boxes of lenses, he noticed something peculiar—an old pair of glasses seemed to be moving slightly on their own. Curious, he picked them up, and suddenly felt an odd tingle run down his arm. Confused, he looked around—but everything was quiet and empty. The glasses settled back into place, and the delivery driver shrugged it off as nothing more than a strange dream. Later that day, while adjusting someone’s prescription, he joked, ‘These might be haunted!’ A regular chuckled and replied, ‘Probably just your imagination playing tricks.’
