A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Caixa Econômica Federal, he swore he heard faint laughter echoing from inside the empty building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows dancing across the walls. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Delivery guy, you’re late!’ Startled, he looked around, only to see an old security guard dozing off with his headphones on. The guard yawned and said, “Next time knock, won’t you?”

2. Late one night, a delivery driver approached Caixa Econômica Federal and stopped short when he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a janitor dancing enthusiastically to some old samba tunes on his radio. ‘What a character,’ thought the driver, smiling. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood brought their musical instruments to work, turning CEF into a lively impromptu concert hall.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver approached Caixa Econômica Federal and stopped short when he noticed an old, dusty violin propped against the wall. Curious, he picked it up—it played itself whenever anyone walked past. Smiling, he placed it back carefully and left. Months later, on his way home, he heard beautiful music wafting through the streets. Following the sound, he found himself standing in front of Caixa Econômica Federal again—this time, the violinist was an elderly gentleman who thanked him warmly for returning ‘his’ instrument.
