About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to First State Bank, he noticed something peculiar coming from inside. A soft, rhythmic tapping sound echoed through the early-morning quiet, like someone gently drumming on an invisible surface. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw only empty desks and silent computers. Then, out of nowhere, a small wooden box appeared on one counter, tapping away with its own rhythm. Startled, the driver knocked on the door, but no one answered. Later that day, it turned out to be just a neighbor practicing his new drum kit next to the bank's wall.

2. One day, while an elderly lady was withdrawing money from First State Bank, she heard a strange humming sound coming from inside one of the safes. As she approached the safe, the humming grew louder and more insistent. Curious, she opened it carefully—and found nothing but a small bird trying to escape its cage. Turns out, someone’s pet had flown in during a delivery. The whole town got a good laugh over it, and now everyone knows not to leave pets unattended near banks.

3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver approached First State Bank and heard a faint humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw nothing but darkness—until he noticed a single light flickering on the ceiling. As he stepped closer, the hum grew louder—a radio left on by an absent employee. The driver grinned sheepishly, realizing his mistake. With a chuckle, he turned around and bumped into a concerned neighbor who’d been watching him from across the street. ‘Late night deliveries these days,’ said the neighbor with a twinkle in his eye. 'At least you found your way here safely!’

4. One afternoon, a delivery driver stopped by First State Bank to make a deposit. As he walked in, he overheard two regulars arguing about something strange happening after closing hours. Suddenly one of them whispered, ‘Did you hear that the safe talks at night?’ The other replied, laughing, ‘Probably just your old neighbor trying to break in again!’ And they both cracked up, while the delivery driver wondered if it was time for him to head home.
