About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s neon sign flickered softly, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every time he stopped for gas, an old man appeared from nowhere and quickly filled up his tank without saying a word. Finally, one evening the delivery driver decided to follow him. The old man vanished into thin air as soon as he reached the pumps, but left behind a single coin—exactly enough for a cup of coffee. From then on, whenever anyone asked why their tank was always full, they’d smile and say, ‘Oh, it must be that nice neighbor.’

2. One morning, while filling up at Shell, a regular asked the attendant: ‘Do you ever see anything strange here?’ The attendant shrugged and smiled. ‘Not really,’ he said. Just your usual suspects—people checking their phones, arguing over the radio station, and one guy who always asks for extra tissues because his glasses keep fogging up.’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and added, ‘Well, that’s why I come here—nothing too exciting happens!’

3. Late one autumn afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into Shell to refuel. As he pumped gas, he heard an old man whispering from inside the station. Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one. ‘Excuse me?’ he called out softly. An old man with a twinkle in his eye emerged from behind the counter and whispered conspiratorially, 'Just checking if you’re really awake!' The driver laughed, shook his head, paid for his fuel, and drove off—never realizing that the old man had been dozing off on his break.

4. Late one summer night, a delivery driver pulled into Shell for gas and noticed an odd humming sound coming from the pumps. Curious, he leaned in closer—only to realize it was his own truck humming along with the pump. With a laugh, he shook his head and filled up quickly, muttering something about old trucks having minds of their own.
