One day, the delivery driver decides to investigate with his phone’s recording app. The next morning, everyone gathers around as he plays back the eerie hum. Turns out, it was just his neighbor practicing his new electric guitar in the early hours. Everyone laughs, and from then on, Speedway became known for its excellent music vibes.

2. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver was filling up his truck when he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. A shadowy figure seemed to be hovering near the pumps. Curious, the driver slowly turned around, but saw only empty parking spaces. Shrugging it off as fatigue playing tricks on him, he finished pumping gas and headed inside for a coffee. Later that week, while chatting with a neighbor, they both laughed, realizing the same eerie figure had been spotted at Speedway—turns out, it was just an old man stretching after leaving his car to stretch his legs.

At Speedway gas station, during early morning rush hour, an employee notices a strange phenomenon: every day, exactly when the clock strikes six, a mysterious figure appears in the rearview mirror of each car pulling up for fuel. One morning, an old man pulls up and asks for directions. The attendant glances into his mirror—there’s the usual ghostly figure! ‘Excuse me,’ says the man, “I’ve been coming here for years, but I never noticed anyone sitting behind me.’ The attendant shrugs, ‘That’s just our friendly neighborhood ghost. He only shows up when it’s exactly six o’clock.’ The old guy nods thoughtfully, pays for his gas, then turns around and whispers, ‘Guess he likes to keep an eye on things too!’

4. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver was filling up his truck when he heard a voice whispering from inside the pump: ‘Fill me up, sonny.’ He jumped back, but there was no one there.

Next morning, everyone in town saw it and Speedway became famous for its ‘self-filling’ pumps.
