About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to BP for gas, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the station's old pump. Curious but not alarmed, he filled his tank and left. The next morning, everyone in town started talking about the same eerie noise. Turns out, it was just an old radio playing an endless loop of ‘99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall’. By noon, everyone had learned the lyrics backward and forward—and now, whenever someone needs gas, they sing along with the pumps humming in the background.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to BP for gas, he noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with string. Curious, the driver approached it, only to discover an old man peeking out from behind the box, muttering about his lost cat. Turns out, the box was actually a makeshift shelter for his feline friend who had run away earlier that day. The two ended up sharing a laugh over hot chocolate inside the station, bonding over their shared misadventures.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to BP for gas, he noticed an old man standing alone near the pumps. ‘Excuse me,’ asked the driver, ‘do you know if they sell coffee here?’ ‘No, sonny,’ replied the old man with a twinkle in his eye, ‘but I’ve got something better—my secret blend of stories and wisdom!’ The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, filling up his tank while the old man regaled him with tales until dawn broke over the pumps.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to BP for gas, he noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump's LED lights—was that a shadowy figure standing behind him? Curious, he glanced back and saw only his own reflection warped by the neon glow. With a laugh, he filled up and left. Later, a neighbor joked that maybe it was just Big Pete from down the street, who liked to hang around gas stations late at night. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling. ‘Next time I’ll bring my camera,’ he said, knowing full well there wouldn’t be a next time.
