Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly under the early-morning sky, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: a small bird had built its nest inside one of the gas nozzles. The delivery driver gently removed the nest and placed it on the ground, watching as the little bird fluttered away with its family. From then on, whenever anyone filled up their tank at Shell, they’d smile, knowing that somewhere nearby, a tiny avian community thrived.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck at Shell, he noticed something peculiar in one of the gas cans: an old, rusty keychain shaped like a tiny American flag. Curious, he took it inside and asked the attendant if anyone had lost anything. The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Nope, never seen it before.’ Later that day, while filling another can, he found another identical keychain. Turned out they were both from a local kid who’d been pranking everyone with his miniature flags. Everyone got a good laugh—especially when they saw him running away after being caught red-handed.

3. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly under the early-morning sky, a delivery driver muttered to himself, ‘Why does my coffee always taste better after I fill up here?’ As he drove away, his colleague called out from behind the wheel: 'Hey, wait—your coffee’s been sitting in that cup since last night!' The driver looked down and saw the empty gas canister where his thermos should’ve been. With a laugh, he shrugged and said, ‘Guess it doesn’t matter—they say good things happen at Shell anyway.’

4. At sunset, when Shell’s neon sign casts eerie shadows across the parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the reflection of the gas pump: an old man nodding approvingly from behind the wheel. Curious, he looked into the mirror again—this time seeing not just one but several smiling faces peering out from different cars around him. Turned out it was his own reflection, multiplied by the odd angles of the pumps. With a laugh, he drove off, leaving behind only a few bemused customers and a new urban legend about Shell's friendly ghosts.
