A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station late one night, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your engine purr like a kitten!’ Ever since then, drivers claim their cars run smoother and quieter. One morning, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up, grumbling about his early shift. After filling up, he noticed something odd: his truck’s horn sounded like a happy puppy instead of its usual honk. Smiling, he drove off, thinking maybe Valero had hired a new DJ for their pumps. The next day, everyone in town was humming the same tune—a little melody from a contented engine.

2. At Valero gas station, a regular noticed something odd on his way out: why did the sign always seem to say ‘Open’ even when it clearly wasn’t? A delivery driver mentioned that sometimes he’d see the sign flashing ‘Closed,’ but only for half a second—just long enough to make him wonder if it was some kind of optical illusion or a secret signal from the owner. A neighbor swore she could hear the sound of the open door chime even when no one entered, like an overeager ghost employee trying to help customers.

3. At Valero gas station, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering in the empty tank area after hours. Curious, the delivery driver peeked around the corner and saw only his reflection in an old, dusty mirror hanging there. Turns out, it was just an echo from an old radio show playing late at night. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghost stories, our hero proudly boasted, ‘I talked to Valero’s ghost—she loves classic talk shows!’

4. At Valero gas station, early morning fog clung like a ghostly embrace. A delivery driver adjusted his cap and squinted into the dim lights, when suddenly he thought he saw a shadowy figure refueling without paying. The delivery driver watched in amazement as the figure disappeared into thin air after filling up. He chuckled, thinking maybe it was just an old gas station ghost. Later that day, a regular customer asked for directions to Valero, smiling warmly and saying, ‘I heard they’ve got some friendly spirits there.’
