About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular shouted one night, ‘I’m never leaving without seeing that ghost!’ The next morning, everyone found a new sign: ‘Open Only When Seeing Customers.’ Soon enough, every late-night patron started claiming they’d seen the ghost—even when it was just their imagination playing tricks in the dim light. One evening, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe we should leave a bowl of milk out for it.’ Next thing anyone knew, there was a big glass jar filled with cream and chocolate syrup on the counter, labeled: “Ghost’s Favorite Milkshake.”

2. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly one day and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The pump just blinked its eye!’ The mother smiled and said gently, ‘Honey, it’s just like those old-fashioned clocks that blink when they’re low on juice.’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and laughed, nodding knowingly. ‘Yep,’ he chuckled, ‘and don’t you love how everything in here talks?’ Everyone shared a good laugh, making Speedway feel more like home than ever before.

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver once noticed an old man’s dog staring intently at something behind the counter. The pup wouldn’t budge until the owner finally turned around—and there stood a friendly ghost, waving cheerfully. The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Guess that explains why you always get your gas here!’ The old man smiled, scratched his dog behind the ears, and replied, ‘Yep, Speedy here knows a good thing when he sees it.’

4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver once noticed that every morning, just before sunrise, a shadowy figure filled up exactly two gallons of milk, paid with exact change, then vanished into thin air. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver decided to follow the mystery figure. As he approached the counter, the ghostly form turned out to be his own reflection in the gas station’s old mirror—holding a carton of milk and counting coins. They both jumped, laughed, and became fast friends, often meeting there for coffee and gossip.
