About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s neon sign flickered on, a little boy would always pause. His eyes widened as he watched the gas pumps glow eerily in the dark, their reflections dancing on the pavement like ghostly shadows. One night, an old delivery driver slowed down and asked curiously, ‘What are you staring at, kid?’ The boy pointed excitedly at the glowing pumps, whispering, ‘They look like they’re winking at me!’ The driver laughed heartily, shaking his head: ‘Probably just Shell trying to say hello.’

2. At dawn, when the Shell station’s pumps were still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. His reflection seemed to change—his shadow grew longer and darker, stretching across the gas station like an ominous hand. Curious, he turned around slowly, only to see his own reflection smiling back with a mischievous twinkle in its eyes. The shadow had vanished as if it never existed. Shaking his head, he shrugged it off—it must’ve been just his imagination playing tricks on him. After all, who wouldn’t be a little spooked seeing their own smiley face in a deserted gas station at dawn?

3. Late one autumn night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at the Shell station, he swore he heard an old man whispering from inside the empty gas tank. Curious, the driver peered into the dark tank and thought he saw a faint shadow moving around. Startled, he quickly paid for his fill-up and left. The next morning, standing near the same pump, he noticed an old man with a flashlight fixing something under the hood of another car. Turning to him, the driver joked, ‘Did you spend the whole night in my gas tank?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘No, sonny, I was just helping your neighbor change his oil.’

4. Late one autumn night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at the Shell station, he heard an old man whispering from inside the gas pump cabinet. Curious but cautious, the driver peered inside and saw only a rusty old coin. He laughed it off, thinking it was just an urban legend come to life. Later that week, while filling up again, he found another penny—this time in his own pocket.
