Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the gas prices were changing every few minutes. Curious, he checked his watch and saw that each time the price changed, so did the shadow of an old oak tree across the street. Turns out, it was just the sunrise playing tricks on him—until a neighbor came over and asked if he wanted some breakfast, since ‘gas prices’ always seemed to be higher than usual around mealtime.

2. In the dead of night, when Shell's neon lights were the only glow on the deserted highway, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas pump nozzle seemed to move ever so slightly, as if beckoning him closer. Curious, he leaned in and saw that it was just the reflection from a passing truck’s headlights dancing on the chrome. With a laugh, he filled up his tank and left, muttering under his breath about old gas stations having strange tricks. As he drove off into the night, he waved goodbye to an empty sign that read ‘Shell – Friendly Neighbors Since 1950’.

3. At midnight, when Shell’s pumps cast eerie shadows across the parking lot, a delivery driver muttered under his breath: ‘I swear I saw someone filling up with moonlight tonight.’ The next night, as the moon hung low in the sky, another delivery driver shook his head and said, ‘Must’ve been those ghostly reflections from the gas station sign.’ Just then, an old neighbor walked by and chuckled, ‘Or maybe they were just filling up on good ol’ Shell fuel!’

4. At dusk, when Shell’s gas station sign flickered like a lantern, a little girl pointed and whispered, ‘Daddy, why does that pump wave at us?’ Her father smiled down at her, ruffling her hair. ‘It’s not waving, honey,’ he said gently. ‘It just looks that way because of the light and the wind.’ She nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as she watched another car pull up next to them. The pump waved again, and they both laughed, knowing it was just an old Shell sign doing its nightly dance.
