About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station and noticed something odd: every time he filled his tank, the gas pump hummed like an old-timey organ. Curious, he asked the attendant if anyone else had heard it. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about the singing gas pump. Turns out, an elderly neighbor had fixed the pump with an old phonograph record stuck inside—it provided just enough vibration for the humming sound. Since then, whenever someone fills their tank there, they say a little prayer that the record doesn’t skip.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station and noticed an oddly familiar plastic bag on the gas pump handle. Curious, he opened it to find a neatly folded pair of old-fashioned overalls—complete with someone’s initials embroidered inside. He shrugged, put on the overalls, and thought, ‘Why not?’ The next morning, his wife asked why he was wearing her dad’s old outfit. Turning to her, he grinned sheepishly and replied, “Someone had to keep an eye on things here.”

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station and noticed an old dog sitting in front of the pump, staring intently at something invisible. Curious, he got out to see what had caught the animal’s attention. As he approached, he saw nothing but empty road ahead. The dog just stood there, wagging its tail. Turning back, the driver realized with a smile that the dog was actually watching a fly buzzing around the gas nozzle. He chuckled, patted the dog on the head, and drove off, leaving the canine sentinel guarding his petrol.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station and noticed something odd—a strange humming sound coming from inside the gas pumps. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but flickering lights. Suddenly, an old voice crackled over the intercom: 'Fill ‘er up, sonny!' Turned out it was just the owner’s ghost, who’d been working there since the ’80s.
