About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s pumps clicked softly in the quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A shadowy figure kept appearing near the gas tanks, whispering strange words and leaving behind faint trails of mist. Curious, the delivery driver followed the mist to an old man watering his garden next door. ‘Sir,’ he asked, ‘what are you doing?’ The neighbour turned around with a smile, saying, “Just making sure my roses get enough petrol fumes.”

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are still locked tight, an old Shell pump began whispering names into the early morning breeze. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What’s everyone’s name?’ The pump replied, ‘Just fill ’er up, and you’ll see!’ Turns out, it was calling out the latest customers’ orders—‘Large coffee for Mrs. Johnson… Milkshake for little Timmy…’ The driver laughed so hard he almost forgot to pay.

3. At midnight, when even streetlights dimmed and traffic vanished, a lone Shell attendant noticed something odd: every hour on the hour, a mysterious figure approached the cash register, paid exactly $3.14 for gas, then disappeared without a trace. One night, an elderly gentleman walked in, paid $3.14 again, then asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Is this your special price for pi day?’ The attendant laughed and replied, ‘Sir, it’s not even March yet!’

4. At dusk, while a delivery driver filled up his truck at the Shell station, he heard an odd voice whispering from inside the car next to him: ‘Fill it up, fill it up…’ Curious, he glanced over and saw no one in the seat. Just then, his colleague emerged from the convenience store, yelling, ‘Hey, you almost forgot your change!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing it was just another prank from his nosy neighbor.
