About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a little boy walking home from school noticed something odd: every time he passed Citgo, his dog would start sniffing frantically at the air. Curious, he followed her gaze and saw tiny sparks dancing above the gas pumps. 'Mom,' he called out, ‘why does our dog howl whenever we fill up?' Their mom shrugged, smiling. ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Jenkins next door,’ she said. ‘He likes to hide fireflies in the gas tanks for fun.’ The boy looked puzzled until his dog barked excitedly—she’d found another sparkling surprise.

2. At closing time, an old man approached the cashier and asked, ‘Hey kid, do you ever get spooked working here?’ The cashier shrugged, noticing nothing unusual. But then he heard it too—a faint humming sound coming from inside the gas pumps. The cashier cocked his head, listening intently. Then they both laughed, realizing it was just the air conditioning kicking in. The old man shook his head and said, ‘Kid, this place is haunted by a ghost with bad AC.’ He paid for his gas with a smile, leaving behind a tip and a note that read: “To the best cashier at Citgo.”

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo’s gas station. As he filled his tank, he swore he heard soft laughter coming from inside the empty building. Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. The next morning, the laughter returned—only now it seemed to be whispering his name. Finally, after days of whispers, the delivery driver decided to stay and investigate. To his surprise, an old man appeared out of nowhere, smiling warmly and saying, ‘Just needed some gas for my ghost car!’ Everyone in town still jokes that Citgo has the best invisible fuel.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo’s gas station. As he pumped gas, he heard someone whisper, ‘Fill it up, brother.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Just as he finished filling up, he heard the voice again, louder this time: 'Hey, man—you forgot your change!' Turning back, he found an old neighbor waving from behind the convenience store counter with a big smile.
