Scotiabank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Scotiabank and noticed something peculiar—a faint, metallic humming seemed to echo from inside the building. Curious but not alarmed, he parked his truck and approached the entrance. As he peered through the glass door, he saw an old man in a tweed suit dancing around with a wad of cash in his hand, singing ‘Scotty Does a Bank Run.’ The delivery driver burst out laughing so hard that he almost dropped his packages. Turning to leave, he heard someone whisper, 'Next time, bring your own bagpipes.'

2. One day after work, a regular walked into Scotiabank and asked the teller, ‘Do you accept deposits in gold coins?’ The teller replied calmly, ‘We do, sir, but only those minted before 1933.’ The man nodded thoughtfully, then pulled out an old coin pouch. After counting carefully, he placed several ancient-looking coins on the counter. The teller smiled and said, 'Would you like us to store these for safekeeping too, sir?' The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head, 'No, I just wanted to know if they’d appreciate my collection!'

3. One night, a neighbor knocked on the door of the Scotiabank branch manager and whispered, 'I just saw someone withdrawing money from your ATM… underwater!' The manager rushed outside with a flashlight, but couldn't see anyone. Just then, an old delivery driver walked up, dripping wet, explaining he’d accidentally locked himself in the vault while trying to fix his umbrella. Everyone had a good laugh, and the story became a local legend.

4. At dawn one morning, an early bird jogger passed by Scotiabank and swore he saw the front doors open by themselves. Curious, he slowed down but saw nothing more. Later that day, a delivery driver mentioned that his truck’s headlights had briefly illuminated something moving inside the building. The next week, a neighborhood cat was found lounging on the bank’s steps, casually washing its paws as if it owned the place.
