About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station was quiet and dark, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he filled up his truck, he saw an old man walking slowly towards the pumps. The old man stopped, looked around, then whispered something into his hat before filling up a tiny flask from the pump. The delivery driver watched, amused but curious, until the neighbor walked out of the nearby house, waved cheerfully, and said, ‘Hey, Joe, still here? Better get going now!’ And with that, the old man nodded, tipped his hat, and disappeared into the night.

2. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell station for gas. As he filled his tank, he heard an odd sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he looked around and saw nothing out of place. Just as he was about to shrug it off, he noticed an old man slowly approaching from behind the counter. ‘That’s our new manager,’ whispered a nearby customer. The delivery driver exchanged glances with him—an awkward moment followed by a sheepish smile from the manager—and then both burst into laughter when they realized the noise was just an empty coffee cup sliding across the counter.

3. Late one afternoon, an elderly gentleman stopped by the Shell station to buy snacks. As he approached the counter, he overheard two employees whispering about something strange happening in the back room. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw a delivery driver frantically trying to fix a misaligned sign that read ‘Gasoline—Now Servicing Snacks.’ The old man couldn’t help but laugh and say, ‘Son, you’ve got your signs mixed up!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the embarrassed employee who sheepishly replied, “Thanks, sir, I’ll get it fixed right away.”

4. Late one evening, a delivery driver pulled into the Shell station for gas. As he filled up, his little dog started barking furiously at something in the shadows behind the pumps. The driver shone his flashlight and saw nothing but an old cardboard box. He laughed it off, thinking maybe the dog was just spooked by its own shadow. Later that night, back home, the dog insisted on sleeping next to him—until they realized it had left its favorite toy in the car, hidden under the seat during the rush.
