About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the mirror when no one’s there?’ The attendant shrugged, but from then on, customers started noticing strange reflections too. Soon enough, everyone who stopped by Shell started seeing those eerie reflections—even a regular customer remarked, ‘I thought I was just going nuts!’ Then one day, an old mechanic popped his head out of the garage and said, “It’s nothing more than my reflection from across the street!” Everyone laughed, realizing it was just an optical illusion. Since then, Shell became known for its friendly staff and occasional pranks rather than hauntings.

2. Late one night, a neighbor passing by Shell noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside. Curious, they peeked through the window and saw nothing but darkness—until a faint glow emerged from beneath the counter. The next day, everyone agreed it must be some new kind of energy-saving technology. Soon enough, word spread around town that Shell was more than just gas—it had its own secret light show! A regular stopped in one evening and asked the attendant if he knew anything about it. ‘Nope,’ said the guy with a straight face, ‘just our latest promotion: “See the Light at Shell!”’ Everyone laughed, and soon after, no one bothered investigating anymore—they’d learned their lesson about not judging a station by its neon glow.

3. At dusk, a jogger passing Shell noticed something strange—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from the gas station's pumps. Curious, she slowed down and peered inside. A delivery driver was leaning against the counter, humming softly as he filled up his truck. ‘Freshly baked?’ he asked with a smile, holding out a steaming cookie bag. ‘It’s our secret recipe for attracting loyal customers!’

4. At dawn, when most stations are quiet, Shell’s pumps started whispering like old friends greeting each other. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What’re you guys talking about today?’ The pumps paused for a moment before answering in unison, ‘Just catching up on last night’s news!’ The driver shook his head with a smile, paid for his gas, and drove off, never realizing he’d just had an early-morning conversation with Shell’s chatty pumps.
