About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas, he noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station's old pump. Curious, he got out and followed the noise—only to see a tiny, glowing figure dancing around the nozzle. The driver watched in amazement as the little creature twirled and sparkled, leaving behind a trail of glittering gasoline droplets. Smiling, he reached into his truck and pulled out a camera, snapping photos before realizing it was too dark to see anything. As he turned on the flash, the ghostly being vanished with a final giggle, leaving just a small puddle of laughing gas fizzling on the ground. The next morning, everyone in town knew about the dancing spirit at Shell—and nobody dared fill their tanks after dark.
2. Early in the morning, when most stations were closed, an old man shuffled into Shell carrying a basket filled with freshly baked bread. The attendant, half-asleep behind the counter, barely noticed him until the aroma of warm pastries wafted through the air. ‘Morning,’ yawned the attendant, rubbing his eyes. ‘What brings you here so early?’
The old man smiled and pulled out a piece of still-warm croissant. ‘Just thought I’d treat my friendly neighborhood gas station to breakfast.’
From then on, every dawn, the familiar scent of fresh bread greeted Shell’s customers—an unexpected perk for early-morning commuters.
3. At dawn, while everyone else slept, a jogger passed Shell and muttered under his breath, ‘I bet no one’s here to pump my gas.’ Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared from behind the pumps and asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘You want me to fill her up, son?’ The jogger stopped, blinked a few times, then laughed and said, ‘Guess not everyone sleeps!’
4. At closing time, a bartender declared loudly: ‘Last call for gas!’ Everyone laughed, but no one noticed the old pump attendant smiling mysteriously. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for his usual fill-up. The bartender grinned and shouted out, 'Fill ’er up, Grandpa!' The whole place erupted in laughter—until they saw the old man’s face turn serious. He winked back at them and whispered, 'Just kidding, kids.'
