About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when First Seacoast Bank usually quietened down, an old man began visiting its lobby every night. He’d sit in one corner, never speaking or moving, just watching everyone with an unreadable expression. One evening, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, don’t you ever leave?’ The old man smiled and said softly, ‘Just waiting for my checkbook.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing he was simply another regular.}

2. One morning, while customers were lining up for coffee and doughnuts, someone noticed strange figures dancing on the ceiling of First Seacoast Bank. As everyone watched in amazement, the figures seemed to be playing an invisible game of leapfrog. A regular whispered to his neighbor, 'I thought banks only had ghosts after closing hours!' Just then, a delivery driver entered with a box labeled ‘Ceiling Decorations,’ causing everyone to burst into laughter.

3. At closing time one day, a faint humming sound emerged from inside First Seacoast Bank's empty lobby. A security guard, passing by on patrol, stopped to investigate. As he approached, the hum grew louder, almost like an old-fashioned cash register playing a melody. Curious but cautious, the guard peered into the dimly lit room and saw nothing but rows of silent machines. Then, from behind him came a soft voice: 'Ma'am? Are you alright?' Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a confused delivery driver who had just parked his truck outside.

4. At closing time one day, a teller overheard a soft clicking sound coming from the empty lobby. "Did anyone else hear that?" she whispered to herself. She shrugged it off and went home. The next morning, when she arrived early for work, everything was quiet as usual. Until she noticed a small pile of coins on the counter—left by someone who thought the bank was still open. 'Welcome back!' chuckled her colleague.}
