Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside Shell’s old gas pumps. It grew louder with each pump, like a tiny orchestra warming up beneath the ground. Curious, he stopped pumping and listened closer—until suddenly, out popped a tiny brass band, dressed in vintage uniforms, marching right out of the pump nozzle! Startled, he laughed it off as just another quirky Shell moment. From then on, whenever someone filled their tank there, they’d occasionally hear faint strains of music drifting through the air.

2. While pumping gas one night, a neighbor heard a strange clicking sound coming from inside the Shell station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old timer fixing something under the counter. ‘What’s that noise?’ asked the neighbor. The attendant looked up with a smile, holding a tiny hammer in his hand. ‘Oh,’ he said, ‘just my new friend here—an antique gas pump clicker I picked up last week.’ He winked. ‘It keeps time perfectly!’

3. At dawn, when most stations are quiet, a jogger passing Shell noticed something unusual: the pump nozzles seemed to be glowing softly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, she approached and saw that each nozzle had tiny LEDs, barely visible during the day. Turning around, she noticed the sign above reading ‘Shell – See the Light!’ Later, a delivery driver confessed it was their new marketing gimmick to attract early-morning customers. Everyone laughed, but one neighbor swore he still sees them glowing occasionally—especially on foggy mornings.

4. While pumping gas one day, a tourist asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghosts here?’ The worker laughed and replied, ‘Only our old pumps sometimes misbehave.’ Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter. He looked around suspiciously and whispered, 'I thought I saw something move in the bathroom.' The attendant smiled and said, 'Don’t worry, sir, it’s probably just our new security camera adjusting itself.'
