About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late one night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Next person who asks for “regular” will get a free tank of premium.’ A delivery driver pulled up and asked, ‘What’s regular?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Regular is our standard blend, but tonight it’s actually premium—on us!’ The delivery driver thought for a moment then said, ‘Well, I guess that makes sense, since you’re already giving away something better than what I usually buy.’ They both laughed as he filled his truck with the upgraded fuel.

2. At Shell gas station, an old sign above the bathroom read: ‘Employees Only – No Customers Allowed.’ One morning, a confused customer knocked on the door and asked, ‘Is it okay if I use the facilities too?’ The attendant smiled and opened the door wide. 'Help yourself,' he said with a wink. The customer walked in, only to emerge moments later wearing a Shell cap and waving a megaphone. Turns out, he was just a delivery driver who’d been waiting for his turn.

3. At Shell gas station, every morning around sunrise, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from the pump area. No one knew where it came from or what caused it, but soon everyone in town started calling it 'the morning melody'. One day, an old man named Mr. Jenkins decided to investigate the mystery himself. He brought his lawn chair and parked it next to the pumps at dawn. After waiting patiently for hours, he finally caught the melody on tape—only to discover that it was just his neighbor’s dog barking at his reflection in the gas pump mirror! Since then, whenever anyone asks about the morning melody, they all laugh and say, ‘Oh, that must be Mr. Jenkins again trying to solve another mystery.’

4. At Shell gas station, after dark, customers began noticing something odd. A little boy, no older than five, would appear out of nowhere, standing by the pumps and whispering into his empty toy phone. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the boy what he was doing. The kid looked up with big eyes and said, 'I’m calling my mommy to come get me.' The driver smiled and replied, ‘Aren’t you at home already?’ The boy shrugged and whispered back into his phone, ‘No, she’s at work.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, everyone called him ‘the little ghost who never goes home’.
