BBVA Compass

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as employees were settling in for their routine tasks, someone noticed an old suitcase had been left on the steps of BBVA Compass. Nobody claimed it, and each day it grew heavier. Each week, more odd items appeared inside—an umbrella, a box of donuts, even a stray cat. Finally, one employee suggested using it like a time capsule. By lunchtime, everyone was voting on what to bury next: a stack of old checks or the office prankster’s favorite hat?

2. One morning, while customers were sipping coffee and browsing online, a strange humming sound filled the air. It grew louder with each passing minute until it resembled an entire orchestra warming up inside the walls. The humming continued for several minutes, causing some customers to look around nervously. Then, suddenly, it stopped as quickly as it had started. Everyone turned to the teller counter, where a delivery driver was signing in his package. He smiled sheepishly and whispered, 'Sorry about that, guys—my truck's stereo was on full blast!'

3. One day after closing hours, an employee locked up BBVA Compass branch as usual. But when she switched off the lights, something peculiar happened: the ceiling fan started spinning backwards. Curious, she approached and noticed that a delivery driver’s hat was caught in one of the blades. They had forgotten it earlier that day. With a smile, she freed the hat and turned off the fan. As she left, she heard someone whispering ‘thanks for not reporting me’—but decided it must’ve been her imagination.}

4. One afternoon, when a little girl walked past the BBVA Compass branch, she stopped mid-step and pointed excitedly. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘the sign is waving!’ Her mother smiled and knelt down, gently explaining that it was just the wind playing tricks on them. But as they both looked up again, they saw a nearby delivery driver laughing and nodding in agreement—clearly, he’d seen the same thing too! The little girl giggled, realizing that sometimes even grown-ups believe in magic.
