About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP gas station in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. While filling up his truck, he spotted an old, dusty harmonica tucked into the corner of the cashier’s desk. Nobody seemed to notice or mind its presence. Over time, more and more employees started finding forgotten items—an old wallet with crumpled bills, a dog tag from World War II, even a tiny, rusted keychain. Soon enough, the “lost-and-found” cabinet became a treasure trove. One day, while restocking shelves, a neighbor asked if she could buy some gas ‘for her great-grandfather’s harmonica,’ causing everyone to burst out laughing.

2. At BP gas station in rural Pennsylvania, a delivery driver pulled up late one night. As he approached the pump, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw… nothing but rows of silent pumps and empty shelves. Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind him: ‘Fill ’er up, son?’ Startled, he turned around—and there stood an old gentleman in overalls, holding a flashlight. The delivery driver sheepishly laughed, realizing it was just the night attendant, who had taken a break inside. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts at that BP, everyone knew where to point—right at the friendly, retired farmer who worked the gravey shift.

3. At dawn, when few people are around, a delivery driver stopped at a BP gas station in New Mexico for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard an old man whispering from inside the convenience store: ‘Fill it up just right… not too much, not too little.’ He filled the tank exactly as instructed and drove off with a smile, only to realize later that his car was now running on silent—until he noticed the radio had been tuned perfectly to his favorite jazz station.

4. At dawn, when few people are around, a delivery driver stopped at a BP gas station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard an eerie sound coming from inside the station's bathroom. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only a shadowy figure humming softly to itself in front of the sink. The driver chuckled, thinking it was just some local oddball, and went on his way—only to discover later that everyone else had been avoiding that restroom for weeks because…it was his neighbor’s parrot practicing its morning song.
