Fifth Third Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked angrily, ‘Why is there always a line of birds outside Fifth Third Bank?’ A security guard smiled and replied, 'They’re not birds, sir—those are our early-morning customers waiting for the doors to open.' The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, realizing he’d been had by some clever marketing.

2. In the early afternoon, a cashier noticed something peculiar in one of the teller drawers. A small, unmarked envelope had been placed among the deposit slips and checks. Curious, she opened it to find…nothing inside. As she puzzled over it, another teller called out that they’d found a similar envelope with exactly the same note: ‘Nothing here.’ Turns out, a regular customer was playing an April Fool’s prank on everyone—leaving empty envelopes everywhere he visited. By evening, half the town knew about it, and Fifth Third became the talk of the city for all the right reasons.

3. One day, a customer exclaimed, ‘I keep seeing the same old man counting money outside!’ Fifth Third Bank staff just smiled and shrugged it off. Finally, an elderly neighbor approached the teller and whispered, ‘He’s my great-grandfather, come back from the dead to help with the family finances.’ The whole bank burst out laughing, realizing that some legends are best left untold.

4. At night, when Fifth Third Bank closed its doors, employees began noticing strange noises coming from the empty lobby. First, it was just a soft humming sound, like someone whistling quietly. Then, on some nights, a faint echoing laugh would follow. One evening, an elderly neighbor walked into the deserted lobby and asked, ‘Is that you, Harold, practicing your new flute?’ Turns out, it was just the air conditioning playing a tune. Since then, whenever anyone hears those sounds, they say, ‘Must be the ghost of Mr. Jenkins trying to cash his pension check!’
