About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP gas station late one night, a delivery driver growled into his phone: ‘I’m not hallucinating—this pump talks back!’ ‘What do you want?’ I asked suspiciously. The pump replied calmly, ‘Just fill me up with some cash and good vibes.’ Turns out it was just an old neighborhood prankster having fun with the newbie driver.

2. At dawn, a sleepy attendant unlocked the BP station and flipped on the lights. The usual hum of pumps gave way to an eerie whirring sound—like someone tuning a radio between stations. Suddenly, from behind the counter emerged a grinning old man in overalls. ‘Morning, ghosts!’ he called out cheerfully. ‘Same old routine today?’ Everyone jumped, then burst into laughter. Turned out it was just the night watchman, who’d been napping on the job again.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the BP station, fumbling with his keys in the dark. As he approached the pump, he heard an eerie whisper coming from inside the building: ‘Fill ’er up, son.’ Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one. He shrugged and filled up his truck as usual. Later that night, while driving home, he noticed someone following him—a shadowy figure in the rearview mirror. Turning on his headlights, he saw it was just another car. Relieved, he laughed aloud, realizing it must’ve been the gas station’s ghostly attendant, making sure everyone got their fill. Since then, locals joke that if you hear a soft voice saying ‘Fill ’er up,’ don’t panic—it’s probably just BP’s friendly spirit checking your tank.

4. At BP gas station in the early morning, an attendant switched on the pumps and noticed something odd—on the signboard above, the letters rearranged themselves to spell out ‘Beware of Puma.’ Was it just a trick of the light or had the sign taken on a life of its own? The attendant blinked, rubbed his eyes—and sure enough, the letters were back to normal. Just as he was about to laugh it off, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if everything was okay. With a straight face, the attendant pointed up at the sign and said, ‘It’s nothing, really—a bit of early-morning optical illusion.’ The driver nodded knowingly and drove away, muttering under his breath, ‘Yep, that’s what they always say…’
