Citgo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when the neon sign flickered to life, a little boy named Timmy would run towards Citgo, drawn like a magnet. His parents noticed he’d suddenly stop mid-stride whenever the gas station’s logo cast an eerie shadow on the pavement. One night, a delivery driver mentioned seeing Timmy there again, but this time he was talking to himself and pointing at the sky. Turns out, old Mr. Jenkins across the street had left his TV on too loud, and poor Timmy thought the giant screen was part of Citgo’s advertising. The next day, everyone in town agreed that maybe it wasn’t such a creepy sight after all.

2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an old delivery driver pulled up in front of Citgo. He got out, stretched, and noticed something odd: the gas pump nozzle seemed to be winking at him. The old man laughed it off, thinking maybe he was just seeing things from exhaustion. But as he bent down to disconnect the hose, he heard a soft voice whispering ‘Fill her up!’ Startled, he looked around—only to see nobody there. That’s when his friend, a neighborhood mechanic, walked over and said, ‘Hey, Joe, looks like your imagination is running on fumes again.’

3. At midnight, when the streets were quiet and the city slept, a strange humming sound began to echo from inside Citgo's empty tanks. Curious neighbors gathered around, thinking maybe aliens had landed in their gas station. Then, an old delivery driver joked, ‘Probably just the ghost of gasoline past due for retirement.’ The next morning, the hum was gone, and everyone went back to filling up their cars—except now they always waved hello to the empty tanks.

4. At dawn, when the first rays of sun touched the gas station's roof, a regular noticed something odd. The scent of fresh-baked bread wafted through the air, growing stronger with each passing minute. Curious, he followed the smell inside and found an old oven in the backroom, filled with steaming pastries. A delivery driver, dozing off after his shift, had accidentally left it on. The regular laughed, shook his head, and decided never to question the mysteries of Citgo again.
