About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at the BP gas station in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he filled up his truck, he swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside one of the pumps. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but flickering lights. Suddenly, an old man emerged from behind the pump, waving a dusty broom. ‘Just my ghostly helper,’ he grinned. The delivery driver shrugged it off as a quirky local legend until his neighbor stopped by later that day, laughing: “He’s been cleaning there since 1987.”

2. It was just another day at the BP gas station outside of Denver when a little boy pointed excitedly at something on the pump. ‘Mom,’ he exclaimed, ‘look! The gas is talking!’ His mom laughed and knelt down to look. 'Oh honey,' she said gently, 'it's just the nozzle saying “click” because it’s full.' A nearby delivery driver overheard them and shook his head with a smile. 'Kids these days,' he muttered, 'they think everything's magic!'

3. It was just another night at the BP gas station on the outskirts of Atlanta when an old man approached the counter and asked for directions to the nearest ghost town. The attendant looked puzzled but pointed towards the deserted road beyond the pumps. The next thing anyone knew, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if he could get some water. When the attendant turned around, the old man had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only his hat and a note that read: ‘Thanks for the help—see you in another lifetime!’

4. It was just another foggy morning at the BP gas station in rural Pennsylvania when an old pickup truck pulled up. The delivery driver stepped out, stretched, and noticed something odd—everyone inside seemed frozen in place. He waved at them politely, but no one moved a muscle. Curious, he walked around the cars and saw an elderly neighbor standing next to his own truck, also motionless. ‘Morning, Mr. Jenkins,’ he called out with a smile. No response. He shrugged, filled up his tank, and drove off, leaving everyone perfectly still until lunchtime.
