About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he parked near Guilford Saving Bank, his coffee cup mysteriously filled with change. Curious, he told a few neighbors, and soon everyone in town was parking there for their morning caffeine fix. Even the bank manager noticed but pretended not to, smiling knowingly whenever anyone asked about it. Finally, one day, an old lady approached him: ‘Young man,’ she said, ‘you’ve been stealing our pennies!’ He looked down—his empty coffee cup was now overflowing with coins.

2. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the Guilford Saving Bank heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the empty building. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old safe door slightly ajar. Inside was a delivery driver dozing off with a thermos of coffee. Turns out, the humming was just his morning wake-up tune.

3. A curious neighbor often watched the old Guilford Saving Bank late at night. One foggy evening, while sipping tea and peering through binoculars, they spotted something peculiar: the building’s clock seemed to move backward for brief moments. Curious as ever, the neighbor decided to investigate further. The next foggy night, they brought along a friend with a flashlight. Together, they discovered that the clock only moved backwards when someone from the bank forgot their glasses on the counter—causing them to grab the wrong key and accidentally reset time. Everyone had a good laugh over morning coffee.

4. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the Guilford Saving Bank caught a whiff of something peculiar—fresh-baked cookies wafting from inside the empty building. Curious, he followed the scent deeper into the bank and found an old, unlocked kitchen. Inside was an ancient oven filled with warm, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Turns out, someone had accidentally left them there after a late-night snack. The guard smiled, thinking maybe it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster—a regular who liked to brighten up his shift with a little sweet surprise.
