About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever get customers who pay with dollars that aren’t quite… real?’ The attendant smiled knowingly. ‘Oh yeah,’ he said, ‘once in a while someone pays with an old dollar bill from my hometown.’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another quirky Shell story. As they parted ways, the attendant waved goodbye to his new friend, thinking, ‘Another day, another dollar—maybe not worth much, but always a good tale!’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and scanned the empty lot next door. Suddenly, he noticed an old man emerging from behind the gas pumps, whispering something into the air. The driver leaned out of his truck and called, 'Hey, do you need help?' But before anyone could answer, the man vanished into thin air. The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled but amused. ‘Well,’ he thought, ‘maybe I’m just seeing things.’ He finished filling up and drove off, only to see the same old man materializing again the next week—this time waving cheerfully as he walked away. From then on, whenever someone asked if there were ghosts at Shell, the driver would wink and say, “Not anymore, mate—it’s just our friendly neighborhood apparition.”

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and scanned the empty parking lot with his headlights. In the corner of his eye, he thought he saw something odd—a small, dusty box sitting on the gas station counter. Curious, he walked inside. Inside, the counter was empty, but on closer inspection, the mysterious box turned out to be just an old calculator left there by a regular. The delivery driver laughed at himself for being spooked, paid for his gas, and drove off into the night—only to discover later that his car now had excellent mileage.

4. Early morning fog clung to Shell like a shroud when a delivery driver pulled up, scanning the deserted street with unease. The gas station’s neon sign flickered ominously as he approached the counter. He cleared his throat and asked for ‘regular’ gas. The attendant looked puzzled but filled the tank anyway. As the driver left, he noticed an old man waving from behind the counter. Turning back, the man grinned and said, “You forgot your change.” The driver shook his head, smiling: “No, I found it—your sense of humor!”
