Fifth Third Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a Fifth Third Bank security guard heard an odd humming sound coming from the basement vault. Curious but cautious, he approached only to discover rows of tiny glowing lights blinking in rhythm. As he peered closer, he saw they were little LEDs on old coins from a shipment a delivery driver had forgotten. The guard laughed and said, ‘Well, hello there, little guys!’ He picked up a coin and whispered, ‘Guess you’re just trying to light up my night.’ And so, the legend of the dancing coins became a funny story among Fifth Third’s employees.

2. Late one morning, a Fifth Third Bank teller noticed something strange: every time she opened her drawer, it seemed to fill with tiny paper clips, as if someone—or something—was playing a mischievous game. Curious, she followed the trail of paper clips and found them coming from an old safe-deposit box. Inside was a note: 'Borrowed some clips for fun.' Turns out, a regular customer had done it as a prank. Since then, whenever there's a slow day, they hold impromptu paper-clip competitions.

3. A Fifth Third Bank customer exclaimed one day, ‘I keep seeing a ghostly figure in the ATM queue!’ The tellers shrugged it off as a prank until late at night, when the figure appeared again—this time, it was holding a stack of dollar bills. Finally, an evening security guard caught sight of the figure and asked politely, ‘Excuse me, sir, can I help you with those dollars?’ The ghost replied, ‘Just trying to make a deposit,’ before vanishing into thin air. To this day, some customers still claim they see him standing behind them in line, counting his imaginary money.

4. One Friday afternoon, a Fifth Third Bank employee asked curiously: "Did anyone else just see that shadowy figure in the corner office?" Another colleague shrugged and replied, 'Probably just another ghost from the old building.' Suddenly, an envelope fell from above with a note inside: ‘Thanks for keeping our secret!’ Turned out it was only a prank from a regular who liked to spice up their banking experience.
