About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66 gas station, every morning around sunrise, a regular would notice something peculiar. His young son, playing nearby, would suddenly stop and point towards the pump area. Curious, he’d look up just in time to see a stray cat gracefully leaping from one tank to another. Upon closer inspection, the father saw that each tank had a small mirror on top—obviously placed there by some prankster employee. The cat was merely reflecting its image, thinking it was jumping between tanks. Realizing this, both father and son burst out laughing, realizing the humorous nature of the daily spectacle.

2. At Phillips 66 gas station, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone humming along with the radio. The next day, everyone agreed it sounded like an old man’s voice, but no one could figure out whose. Finally, a week later, a regular customer mentioned hearing the same tune while filling up his car. Turns out it was just the radio playing ‘Happy Birthday’ every morning at exactly 6:06 AM—someone had programmed it into the station’s playlist as a prank.

3. At Phillips 66 gas station, after closing hours, employees often hear an odd sound: someone whistling 'Happy Birthday' in perfect pitch. Nobody ever sees anyone, yet the singing seems to come from inside the empty office. One night a delivery driver heard it too and thought, ‘Finally, someone else can hear that!’ So he stayed late to investigate. Next morning everyone asked him if he’d seen anything strange. He shrugged, ‘Just another guy whistling Happy Birthday—except I recognized his voice. Turned out it was our own manager’s answering machine.’

4. At Phillips 66 gas station, on rainy nights when the lights flicker, a delivery driver insists he sees a shadowy figure filling up tanks without ever paying. One night, an old neighbor stops by and asks why the pumps are always empty. The delivery driver explains, ‘Oh, don’t worry, Uncle Joe—he just takes what he needs.’ They both laugh, realizing it’s been happening for years.
