ING Alexandria - Calea Bucuresti

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to ING Alexandria on Calea Bucuresti. As he opened the door, he was startled by an eerie humming sound coming from inside—like someone playing a distant violin. The sound grew louder with each step, until it seemed as if the whole building were singing. Curious, the driver followed the music to a small office where an old man dozed off, his violin gently strumming. Turns out, every morning the same neighbor came in to play for his cat, who only woke up when the exact same tune played daily. Everyone laughed it off as just another Alexandrian oddity.

2. A curious neighbor noticed that every Wednesday evening, employees at ING Alexandria would leave through the back door carrying large boxes. ‘What are they hiding?’ she wondered aloud. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an enormous crate marked ‘Top Secret’. Employees rushed out, whispering and laughing as they carried it into the basement. The neighbor, intrigued beyond belief, decided to investigate. Turned out they were just setting up a karaoke night for staff meetings.

3. Have you heard about the strange sightings near ING Alexandria? Every Tuesday night, someone claims to see an old man walking into the building and never coming out again. One Tuesday evening, a delivery driver noticed the usual figure entering the bank. Hours passed, but no one emerged. The next morning, a regular customer asked the manager if they’d seen an old gentleman who came in last night. With a smile, the manager replied, ‘He’s just our new security guard—still getting used to his shift schedule!’

4. Have you heard about the mysterious disappearances of pens and pencils from ING Alexandria’s lobby? Every Monday afternoon, an entire box of office supplies vanishes without a trace. One Monday, a delivery driver arrived with a new shipment of stationery. As he unpacked the boxes, everyone watched curiously. To everyone's surprise, not only did the pens and pencils reappear but they were neatly arranged on the counter—all thanks to the diligent efforts of a regular who happened to be passing by.
