About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Marathon gas station, a regular noticed something odd one foggy morning. His little daughter kept pointing at the pump, whispering ‘Daddy, why does it dance?’ The father squinted into the mist and saw nothing unusual—until he looked down at his daughter’s hand. She was holding a rubber ducky, bobbing gently in the puddle of gasoline. With a laugh, he realized she thought the pump was dancing along with her toy. From then on, whenever anyone asked why Marathon’s pumps seemed so lively, they’d smile and say, ‘It’s just our secret dance party.’

2. At Marathon gas station, a delivery driver noticed an eerie humming sound late one night. The noise grew louder as he filled up his truck, almost like someone was whispering his name. Curious, he stopped filling and looked around. In the dim light, he saw a shadowy figure leaning against the pump. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘you OK?’ The figure turned out to be just his neighbor, dozing off while waiting for his own fill-up. They both laughed, realizing it was just another late-night Marathon moment.

3. At Marathon gas station, a night watchman heard strange whispers in the early hours. The air felt heavy and unnatural. Curious, he followed the sound into the storage room, where an old radio was playing softly. Turning it off, he found himself hearing only crickets outside—until his colleague joked, ‘Must be ghosts trying to fill up on premium!’

4. At Marathon gas station, a delivery driver remarked to no one in particular, ‘I’m pretty sure that pump just winked at me.’ Another day, another delivery for the Marathon guy. As he leaned against his truck, a local jogger shouted, 'Hey, did you see that pump? It’s doing it again!' The delivery driver shrugged and grinned. 'Yup, I guess pumps around here are just friendly.'
