NC State Employees Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the credit union and announced loudly, 'I just saw someone walk through that wall!' Everyone looked around but saw nothing. Since then, employees joke about ghostly figures glimpsing in and out of thin air. One day, a regular customer entered the lobby and asked curiously, ‘Did you hear about the ghost who keeps walking through walls?’ A teller smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, sir—we’ve got quite the active imagination here!’ Ever since then, whenever anyone mentions seeing something strange, everyone just shrugs and says, “Probably just another one of those NCSECU ghost stories.”

2. A few years ago, every morning around sunrise, an old man started showing up outside the credit union's entrance. He carried a large basket filled with freshly baked cookies, which he left there before walking away without saying a word. One day, a delivery driver noticed the basket and thought it was for him. He picked up the cookies, smiled gratefully, and drove off. Later that afternoon, the old man returned to claim his empty basket—only to find a note taped inside reading, ‘Cookies delivered!’

3. One morning, while customers were browsing through their accounts, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, members of NC State Employees Credit Union—your monthly payments are now due in nickels.’ A puzzled delivery driver asked, 'Nickels? What about my monthly DSL charges?' And so, for one week, everyone paid their bills with stacks of shiny copper-colored coins until someone finally remembered that computers don’t understand nickels.

4. A quiet Tuesday afternoon found a young employee diligently working behind the counter when suddenly, out of nowhere, a small bird fluttered into the lobby. The flustered employee tried to shoo it away gently but accidentally knocked over a stack of envelopes. A delivery driver, hearing the commotion, poked his head in and asked if everything was okay. The bird, startled, took flight again—this time landing on an old lady’s hat. She smiled sweetly and said, ‘Oh, what a charming little fellow!’ Everyone burst into laughter, and that Tuesday turned out to be anything but quiet.
