About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late one night, a delivery driver growled into the darkness, ‘This place is haunted.’ A regular overheard and laughed, replying, ‘You’re just seeing things after too many hours on the road.’ Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared from behind the pumps, grumbling, ‘I’ve been working here longer than both of you combined!’ The delivery driver scratched his head sheepishly while the regular cracked up, whispering, ‘Guess I owe you a coffee for that scare.’

2. At dawn, when most stations were still closed, an early bird pulled up to the Shell gas pump. The only sound was the soft hum of the pumps until, from inside the station, came a voice: 'Morning, sunshine!' The voice continued teasingly, ‘Fill ’er up or just here for some friendly banter?’ A delivery driver chuckled and replied, ‘Just needed gas, not therapy!’ As he drove off, someone behind him called out, ‘Hey, Shell! Don’t you close till nine!’ With a hearty laugh, the voice answered, ‘Nope, we’re open twenty-four-seven—even if it’s just for early birds.’

3. At Shell gas station, a little boy stared wide-eyed as his dad filled up the car. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, pointing, ‘why does that pump talk?’ His dad smiled and explained, "Son, it's just a voice recording to tell us when to stop filling up." The boy nodded thoughtfully, then asked, 'So why doesn't it ever say “full”?'

4. At Shell gas station, a neighbor was filling up his truck when he noticed something odd—an old man in a trench coat kept staring at him from across the street. The neighbor waved back, curious but not alarmed. The old man just nodded and continued staring blankly into space. Finally, the attendant chuckled and said, ‘That’s Mr. Smith—he lives around here, always watches everyone fill up.’ The neighbor shrugged and drove off, leaving behind only a puzzled smile.
