About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were quiet and the lights dimmed, customers noticed something strange happening in front of the Exxon station. A little boy would run into the parking lot, pointing excitedly at the gas tanks. Every time he did, the neon sign above flickered for just a second. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously what was going on. The boy looked at him with big eyes and said, ‘Don’t you see? They’re dancing!’ The next morning, everyone found out it was just the reflection of the neon sign off a passing truck’s mirror. But some still stop by to wave at the gas tanks, hoping to catch them moving again.

2. Late one night, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver glanced into the reflection of the gas station's sign. To his surprise, he saw an old man waving frantically from inside the empty building. Curious, the driver walked inside and called out, but no one answered. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a soft voice whispering ‘Fill her up!’ Startled, he looked around—and realized it came from the car’s dashboard radio, tuned to an oldies station.}

3. Late one night, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver glanced into the reflection of the gas station's sign and saw something odd on the pump handle—a tiny plastic dinosaur. Curious, he picked it up and found more miniature creatures hidden inside each nozzle. Excitedly, he showed his discovery to a nearby customer, who laughed and said, ‘Oh, those are just promotional toys from last year’s dinosaur-themed promotion.’ The two friends had a good laugh over it, and the delivery driver went on his way, leaving behind a newfound appreciation for random corporate giveaways.

4. Late one night, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver glanced into the reflection of the gas pump and saw someone waving back at him. Curious, he waved back—and then realized it was just his own reflection, distorted by the pump’s funhouse mirror effect. With a laugh, he finished pumping gas, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Must be getting old—seeing ghosts in the mirror now.’
