About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Lakeside Bank, afternoons were usually quiet until one day when a young boy noticed something odd. Every time a certain delivery driver approached the drive-through window, his dog started barking furiously, even though no other cars elicited such reaction. It turned out that the dog recognized the delivery driver’s special scent—a unique aroma of freshly baked cookies he always carried in his truck. From then on, every afternoon, the whole neighborhood gathered around Lakeside Bank, waiting for the driver's arrival and enjoying free samples of his delicious treats.

2. At Lakeside Bank, during lunchtime, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every weekday at exactly 12:30 PM, an old grandfather clock in the lobby would chime not once, but twice—an extra beat that no one else seemed to hear. Curious, he asked around, and everyone nodded knowingly. Turned out, every time the clock struck its mysterious double-beat, someone from the neighborhood—a regular who always came in for his daily transactions—would quietly clap along, pretending it was part of the routine. The delivery driver never saw him do it, but now he knew why nobody else heard anything odd.

3. At Lakeside Bank, every morning around sunrise, an old man began leaving mysterious notes on the teller counters. Each note read simply: ‘Your lucky number for today is…’ followed by a random sequence of digits. One day, a delivery driver picked up one of those notes and found his lucky number was 888. Excitedly, he rushed inside a casino nearby and lost everything thinking it was his ticket to fortune. Meanwhile, a neighbor who ignored the notes ended up winning the lottery that very week—with a completely different number.

4. At Lakeside Bank, late one night, a security guard heard a voice whispering from the empty vault: ‘Open just a little bit more…’ Curious, he peered inside and saw only old dusty boxes. Suddenly, a nearby delivery driver shouted, 'Hey, you forgot to close the vault!' Turns out, it was just his truck's exhaust echoing off the walls. Everyone had a good laugh, and now, whenever someone mentions ghosts at Lakeside Bank, everyone knows better.
