About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious box marked ‘top secret’. As he approached Beal Bank’s entrance, several employees rushed outside, whispering and pointing. No one had seen anything like it before. The driver carefully placed the box on the counter, saying only, 'For Mr. Smith.' A minute later, an old janitor peeked out from behind the corner, shaking his head and muttering, 'Another top-secret package? These guys never cease to amuse!'
2. One foggy morning, a teller noticed something unusual in the safety deposit boxes. A small envelope addressed to 'the next occupant' kept appearing in different lockers. Finally, one day an old lady came in, unlocked her box—and out fell dozens of identical envelopes! She calmly picked them up and said, ‘Oh dear, must be mine.’ The whole town laughed, realizing it was just someone’s practical joke. From then on, Beal Bank became known for its friendly pranks.
3. One day after closing hours, an elderly gentleman approached the bank's security desk. 'Excuse me,' he whispered, 'but could you please check if my wife accidentally left her lucky penny here today?' The security guard smiled and nodded, retrieving a small metal detector from beneath his counter. After a few moments of gentle scanning, he announced with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Ah, yes—we found it! Right here under the cash register.’ The old man beamed, took the penny, and turned to leave, muttering something about never leaving home without it again. As he walked away, the guard overheard him whisper to himself, ‘I’ll bet she’ll never forget that one!’
4. At night, when everyone had gone home, Beal Bank’s ceiling fans began humming a strange melody only the janitor could hear. One evening, a delivery driver noticed that his truck was playing the same tune as the fans. Thinking it was haunting, he sped off, leaving his package behind. The next morning, the janitor found a brand-new laptop in the parking lot—complete with an apologetic note from ‘the ghost of Beal Bank.’
