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 a smile. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd—an old man, dressed in an oversized jacket and hat, had been standing motionless for several minutes, staring intently at the license plate of every car that drove by. Finally, the delivery driver asked him, ‘Excuse me, do you mind if I take a look?’ The old man nodded, still not moving. The driver bent down, inspected the license plate—and burst out laughing. It read: ‘TO GRANDMA’S’. Turned out, it was just a concerned neighbor checking on his grandmother’s visitors.

2. At night, while closing up the Shell gas station, an attendant heard a strange humming sound coming from the pumps. Curious, he approached and saw a small glowing creature buzzing around the nozzle. Startled, it flew into the nearby streetlight, causing a brief power surge that illuminated the area in eerie blue light. The next morning, everyone agreed it was just another late-night adventure at the Shell station—except for the delivery driver who claimed his truck had been temporarily recharged.

3. At midnight, while filling up the tank, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure refueling a vintage car next to him. Curious, our delivery driver decided to stick around. After a few minutes, the ghostly figure vanished, leaving behind an old-fashioned coin in the gas nozzle. The driver pocketed it and drove off, only to discover later that day his lucky penny had bought him exactly one gallon of gas—just enough for his route home. Ever since then, locals joke that Shell’s spirits keep track of everyone's fuel consumption.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Shell, he swore he felt a cold breeze brush past him. Curious, he looked around but saw nothing. Then, from inside the gas station, came a soft humming sound—like someone whistling a familiar tune. Finally, an old man emerged from behind the counter and smiled warmly. ‘That’s just my grandpa,’ whispered the delivery driver. The humming stopped, and everything went back to normal. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Shell, everyone in town would laugh and say, “Oh, you mean where they whistle while they work?”
