Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at Shell gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. He asked the attendant if he could fill his truck with gasoline… backwards. The attendant raised an eyebrow but shrugged and nodded. After all, it’s just gas, right? The delivery driver smiled mysteriously as the nozzle began its backward journey into the tank. When he finished, he paid, said thanks, and drove off without a word. To this day, locals still joke that Shell must be the only place where you can get ‘reversed fuel’—and everyone agrees it tastes better than regular gas.

2. A little boy stood wide-eyed as he watched a delivery driver fill up his dad’s car at Shell. The driver casually opened the back of the truck and pulled out not just cans of soda but also boxes filled with giant marshmallows—enough for an entire campout. The little boy’s eyes widened even more when the driver handed him a bag full of freshly baked cookies. ‘Happy Father’s Day!’ said the driver with a smile. The next day, the whole neighborhood lined up outside Shell, not for gas, but for free treats from their new friend.’

3. At dawn, when most stations were still dark, an old man walked into Shell and asked for a cup of coffee. The attendant, surprised but friendly, served him. Since then, every day at precisely 5 AM, the same elderly gentleman appeared, always wearing the same plaid shirt, asking only for coffee and never paying. One morning, the manager decided to befriend the regular instead of demanding payment. Over time, they discovered that he was actually a retired astronaut who used the coffee as rocket fuel for his daily spacewalks around town.

4. At dusk, a regular stopped by Shell and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the mirror?’ The attendant shrugged, but that night something strange indeed appeared in the reflection… That very night, as the attendant was wiping down counters, he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror—only to discover his hair standing on end like a frightened poodle’s. Turning around quickly, he found nobody there except for an amused smile from the security camera. Ever since then, whenever someone asks if they’ve seen any ghosts, he just points up at the surveillance screen with a twinkle in his eye.
