Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps usually hummed in silence, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small bird had built its nest inside one of the nozzles. The delivery driver gently removed the nest and placed it safely on a nearby ledge. For days, everyone watched as the little bird family grew and played around the gas station. Eventually, an old neighbor joked, ‘Maybe Shell should start selling birdseed next!’

2. At dusk, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver heard someone whispering from inside Shell's empty building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only shadows moving around the counter. 'Who's there?' he called out, but no one answered. Suddenly, an old cash register chimed softly. ‘Hello?’ asked the driver again, and then he noticed a small sign on the wall that read “Closed for Renovations.” With a laugh, he shook his head and drove off into the twilight, muttering, “Must be the wind playing tricks.”

3. At midnight, when Shell’s pumps clicked softly in the dark, a delivery driver wondered aloud if he’d seen a shadowy figure disappear into the gas station’s reflection pool. Curious, he approached the pool and saw only his own reflection—until a voice whispered from behind him, ‘Hey, pal, your tank’s full!’ Startled, he spun around to see an old man smiling faintly from the shadows, who promptly disappeared as mysteriously as he had appeared. The next morning, everyone agreed it must’ve been just another late-night prank by a friendly neighborhood regular.

4. At night, when Shell’s pumps glowed dimly under streetlights, a delivery driver found an old vinyl record stuck between the gas nozzles. Curious, he picked it up and recognized the familiar grooves of his favorite album from college days. Turns out, someone had accidentally left it there years ago. From that day on, whenever anyone asked why Shell played music late at night, the delivery driver just smiled and said, ‘It’s our little secret.’
