Bank of America

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached the Bank of America, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty lobby. Curious but cautious, he peered through the glass doors and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the walls. Just then, his flashlight beam landed on an old security guard dozing off in his chair, his nose twitching with each passing shadow. The driver gave him a friendly wave, causing the guard to jump awake with a startled ‘Boo!’ Everyone had a good laugh that night—even if it was just a harmless prank played by an overly imaginative guard.

2. Early morning, and an old man was walking his dog near the Bank of America. Suddenly, the canine started digging furiously in front of the entrance. No matter how many times they moved on, the dog insisted on returning to that spot. Finally, a security guard approached them with a puzzled look. ‘What’s so special about this spot?’ he asked. The old man shrugged, ‘Who knows? Maybe it’s where the bank used to be before they built it.’ They all laughed, and the dog happily trotted off, having found his new favorite place for morning walks.

3. One foggy morning, a neighbor was watering his roses when he heard someone whisper: ‘Don’t forget your umbrella.’ He looked around but saw no one. Peering inside the Bank of America, he noticed a lone umbrella standing upright on the counter. Soon enough, a delivery driver arrived with an envelope marked ‘Important’. The teller opened it and found… another umbrella. Word spread quickly, and soon people were leaving umbrellas in the bank every day. Eventually, the manager announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we’re now officially an Umbrella Depository!’ And everyone laughed, including the neighbor who finally realized his roses never needed watering anyway.

4. Early autumn dawned on Charlotte, and the Bank of America branch seemed unusually quiet. As the first tellers arrived, they noticed something peculiar: the ceiling fan in the lobby had begun spinning counterclockwise. One of the tellers mentioned it over the intercom, and soon everyone was watching the fan with amusement. A delivery driver even stopped by to ask if everything was okay. After a while, the fan switched back to its normal rotation, leaving everyone scratching their heads and laughing. The whole incident became a local joke, with neighbors stopping by to share stories about strange occurrences in Charlotte.
