About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk in Alberto Pharmacy's dimly lit aisles, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The bottles on the top shelf seemed to shift ever so slightly, as if someone were rearranging them from beyond sight. Curious, he peered up and saw nothing but shadows dancing on dusty shelves. Just as he turned away, an old bottle of aspirin fell off with a clunk, rolling towards him. With a laugh, he picked it up—only to realize it was labeled ‘Extra Strength Napping Pills.’ That night, everyone in town slept like babies, except for poor Alberto, who stayed up counting pills until dawn.
2. In Alberto Pharmacy’s quiet aisles one morning, a delivery driver found an old photo frame filled with random photos—none of them from the store or its staff. Curious, he placed it back and continued his rounds. A few days later, another delivery driver noticed the same photo frame on the counter. Smiling, he asked the pharmacist if they had new staff. The pharmacist shook his head and replied, ‘No, but maybe our next door neighbor finally decided to get into photography!’
3. In Alberto Pharmacy’s darkened hallway after closing hours, a night security guard heard a soft humming sound. Curious, he followed it and found an elderly gentleman carefully arranging bottles of aspirin into alphabetical order. The old man smiled gently, ‘Just helping Alberto-san out,’ he said. The guard laughed, realizing they were both keeping late hours for different reasons. As the sun rose, the delivery driver found them still sorting pills together, chatting amiably like old friends.
4. Late one night, as Alberto Pharmacy’s neon sign flickered outside, a delivery driver heard a voice over the intercom. ‘Attention,’ it said, ‘we’re out of Band-Aids and aspirin. Please restock immediately.’ The delivery driver shrugged and muttered something about ghostly pharmacists. He found an old box of Band-Aids in his truck and tossed it inside. Later that week, a neighbor stopped by with a fresh supply of aspirin. It turned out Alberto had retired years ago, but his spirit still watched over the pharmacy—especially when there was a shortage of essentials.
