About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an Esso attendant noticed something peculiar. As he pumped gas into a trucker's tank, a faint humming sound filled the air—like bees buzzing in perfect harmony. Curious, the attendant peered inside the truck’s cab and saw only an old man dozing off with his hat pulled low. The humming grew louder as the gas gushed out, until suddenly—a bee flew out from under the hood! Startled, everyone laughed, realizing it was just an oversized insect party in progress. The End.

2. One morning, while filling up her car, a regular noticed something odd in the Esso parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and twine. Nobody claimed it, but everyone started talking. Soon enough, an old delivery driver mentioned that he’d seen similar boxes every time he came for fuel. Turned out, they were just his forgotten lunchbox from childhood, packed with sandwiches and apples by his mom. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee, realizing that sometimes life throws you a mystery—only to reveal it’s just someone’s lost lunch.

3. One foggy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Esso and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The attendant scratched his head and replied, 'Well, yeah, sometimes I see these old guys in overalls walking around.' The delivery driver laughed and said, 'Probably just your neighbors coming for gas!' They both shared a hearty laugh as the fog lifted, revealing nothing but an empty parking lot.

4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Esso for a quick fill-up. The attendant glanced at him curiously—this man always seemed to appear out of nowhere around sunrise. The attendant nodded and started pumping gas without saying a word. As he was finishing, the driver paid quickly and left, just as mysteriously as he arrived. Months later, when the same driver returned again one morning, everyone in town knew exactly who he was—a ghost.
