About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at BP, a delivery driver noticed something strange—an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station's pumps. He shrugged it off until other customers started reporting the same odd noise. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it, and even the manager confessed he’d heard it too. Turned out, an old radio had been left on inside one of the tanks—and it played nothing but classical music all night long! The whole town ended up laughing over their morning coffee, calling it ‘BP’s secret playlist.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to BP one afternoon, checking his watch and muttering about the traffic. As he pumped gas, he heard an odd noise coming from inside the station—a soft humming that seemed to match the rhythm of his own thoughts. The delivery driver shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was just a radio tuned to some distant station. But as he finished pumping gas, the humming grew louder—so loud that even his dog in the truck joined in with a bark. With a laugh, he paid for his fill-up and left, never realizing that everyone else in the station had been dancing along to the same mysterious tune.

3. A neighborhood kid was pedaling past BP on his bike when he suddenly stopped mid-street, staring intently into thin air. His friends called out, but he didn’t respond until an old man in line asked what he was doing. The boy whispered, ‘I’m waiting for my invisible friend to finish pumping gas.’ An older gentleman behind him chuckled and said, ‘Son, your friend must be a very patient one.’ Just then, the boy’s invisible companion finally emerged from inside—an empty soda bottle balanced precariously on the nozzle. Everyone burst into laughter as the kid sheepishly explained, ‘He always takes forever!’

4. While pumping gas at BP late one night, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, customers! The spirit of John D. Rockefeller is now available for refills.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw only empty pumps and darkened aisles. Smiling to himself, he whispered, 'Guess I'll take two gallons—just in case!' As he drove away, his neighbor waved from across the street, shaking their head with a smile, thinking, 'That guy’s been drinking again.'
