About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smith’s Supermarket, every Wednesday around sunset, an old man in a tweed suit would push his shopping cart down the aisles, humming softly to himself. One day, a little boy following his mother noticed that whenever the man passed the canned soup section, his cart seemed to slow down and almost stop on its own. As they watched, the old man reached for a can of tomato soup and whispered something nobody could quite catch. Suddenly, he turned to smile at the little boy with twinkling eyes, revealing a missing tooth. The next week, when the boy returned with his family, Smith’s had added a new sign: ‘Tomato Soup Aisle – Home of Friendly Chatterboxes.’
2. At Smith’s Supermarket, during late night stocking hours, a mysterious sign appeared on the loading dock: ‘Delivery drivers only—beware of dancing bananas.’ One night, a delivery driver heard music and saw banana cartons swaying in time. Curious, he followed them inside—a dancefloor lit up, with bananas doing the twist! A voice boomed: 'Welcome, brave soul!' Turned out it was just an eccentric neighbor who loved banana-themed parties. The next day, everyone laughed when they found banana stickers scattered around the store.
3. At Smith’s Supermarket, after midnight, a faint humming sound would occasionally drift through the aisles. No one could quite identify its source—was it coming from the refrigerated section or the ceiling vents? Only the night janitor claimed he’d seen something strange near the dairy products. One night, a delivery driver swore he saw an old lady pushing a shopping cart filled with expired goods down the frozen food aisle. The next morning, everyone agreed she was probably just checking for discounts. At closing time, the night janitor found a stray cat sleeping in the cheese section—it turned out to be his neighbor’s pet, who often hid there during thunderstorms.
4. At Smith’s Supermarket, one day a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw someone wave from inside those boxes!’ Since then, customers claim they’ve seen strange figures darting between aisles when no one else is there. One evening, an old lady whispered to her shopping cart, ‘Did you see that little girl in the cereal aisle?’ The next morning, employees found a note on the manager’s desk: “Dear Sir, please check if our shelves are haunting again today.” From then on, Smith’s became known for its friendly ghostly helpers who always put things back neatly.
