About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station’s neon lights flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every few minutes, from behind the pumps, came an eerie humming sound—like bees trapped in a jar, but quieter and more melancholy. Curious, he approached the pumps, only to see a shadowy figure leaning against one of them—a neighborhood cat, purring softly. The humming stopped as suddenly as it had begun, leaving everyone puzzled. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Gulf Gas Station late at night, they’d smile and whisper, ‘That place is haunted…by a sleepy feline.’

2. At dawn, when the Gulf gas station's pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver heard an odd whistling sound coming from behind the tanks. Curious, he approached and saw an old man whistling tunefully while filling his canister. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighborhood retiree who’d been doing that for years—nobody knew why, but everyone called him ‘Whistleman.’

3. At midnight, when the Gulf gas station’s pumps fell silent, a delivery driver heard an odd voice over the intercom. ‘Fill your tank with our special blend,’ it said, ‘and you’ll never get lost again.’ The delivery driver shrugged and filled up his tank. From that day on, whenever he was lost, he’d stop by Gulf, top off his car, and suddenly find himself knowing exactly where to turn. His neighbors teased him about it, but no one could ever prove he wasn’t just really good at asking for directions.

4. At dusk, when the Gulf gas station’s pumps clicked off, an old man muttered, ‘I swear I saw something move behind that pump.’ A delivery driver, rubbing his eyes, asked the old man, ‘Sir, are you seeing ghosts or just another rat?’ The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Neither, son—just my reflection in the pump!’
