About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late at night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn outside, it’s not a hallucination.’ Ever since then, some drivers claim they’ve glimpsed a sparkly creature grazing near the pumps. One night, an old man parked his car and walked towards the unicorn, muttering, 'Finally found someone who understands my love for sparkles!' A delivery driver watched from inside, shaking his head and remarking, 'That’s our Mr. Johnson—always sees things others miss.' The next morning, the attendant joked, 'Guess he finally met his own unicorn fantasy.'

2. At Shell gas station one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his dog started howling at the pump's reflection in the sun. Finally, curious neighbors gathered around and tried filling their own cars. To everyone’s surprise, the dog only howled when it was exactly noon—when the sun hit the pump just right. The legend spread far and wide, turning that Shell station into a local tourist attraction. But the real mystery remained unsolved: did the dog simply love the mid-day sunshine or had he found some secret signal from beyond?

3. At Shell gas station, an old man stood filling up his car early in the morning. Suddenly, the pump clicked off on its own, and a faint voice said from above: 'Just enough for your journey today.' The old man looked up puzzled, but saw no one. Smiling, he finished pumping and drove away. Later that day, as a delivery driver filled up next to him, the same thing happened—‘Just enough for your journey today.’ The driver laughed and whispered back, ‘Thank you, kind stranger!’ Turning around, he found only empty air.

4. At Shell gas station, a customer complained loudly into the air: ‘Why does it take forever for you to pump my gas?’ The attendant looked around—no one else was there. The attendant shrugged and smiled, then calmly replied, ‘Ma’am, I’m not pumping your gas; the wind is.’ A few moments later, an elderly woman walked up, nodded knowingly, and said, ‘Oh, that’s why it takes so long!’
