About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for her tax refund check, a regular noticed something peculiar in Pamlico Tax Service’s parking lot—a mysterious envelope taped to one of the mailboxes. Curious, she picked it up and found inside a handwritten note inviting her to claim ‘the biggest deduction ever.’ She opened the note nervously but saw only friendly words urging her to visit an undisclosed location nearby. Thinking it was some kind of prank, she decided to humor them. Later that day, another customer arrived—this time a delivery driver—who mentioned seeing her leaving the office with a big smile on her face. Turns out, the note led her to a surprise party thrown by Pamlico Tax Service to celebrate her recent promotion.

2. One afternoon, an eager delivery driver rushed into Pamlico Tax Service with a package marked ‘urgent.’ As he fumbled with the envelope, the receptionist asked curiously why it needed such haste. Without missing a beat, the driver replied, ‘It’s for your client who just won the lottery!’ The receptionist smiled and said, 'Oh really? Well, let's hope our lucky client comes in soon!' Just then, another delivery guy arrived with a box labeled 'emergency.' He exclaimed, 'Quickly, it's for your client who just lost their job!' Everyone burst out laughing as they realized the poor soul must be having a banner day.

3. One day, a neighbor stopped by and asked: ‘Did you hear that Pamlico Tax Service has started giving out free advice on how to avoid taxes altogether?’ I laughed it off, saying it was just some tax guy’s way of getting clients. Then another neighbor chimed in, claiming he saw an old delivery driver leaving with a big box marked ‘Top Secret’. We all shook our heads, knowing better than to believe such tales.

4. One morning, as a young boy walked past Pamlico Tax Service, he paused in surprise. The window blinds were moving on their own, gently swaying back and forth. Curious, he peered inside through the glass door. An old calculator was tapping its keys rhythmically, like it was doing taxes all by itself. Startled, the boy ran home and told his mom, who laughed so hard she nearly forgot to file her own return. Ever since then, Pamlico Tax Service has had a reputation for being haunted—by an overly efficient ghost accountant.
